Job 14
1 Man that is borne of woman, is of short continuance, and full of trouble.
“Nama dubartoota irraa dhalate, barri isaa gabaabaa fi kan rakkinaan guutamee dha.
2 He shooteth foorth as a flowre, and is cut downe: he vanisheth also as a shadowe, and continueth not.
Inni akkuma daraaraa ni biqila; ni coollagas; akkuma gaaddidduu ariifatee darba malee hin turu.
3 And yet thou openest thine eyes vpon such one, and causest me to enter into iudgement with thee.
Iji kee nama akkasii xiyyeeffatee ilaalaa? Ati murtiif fuula kee duratti isa fiddaa?
4 Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? there is not one.
Eenyutu waan xuraaʼaa keessaa waan qulqullaaʼaa baasuu dandaʼa? Namni tokko iyyuu hin dandaʼu!
5 Are not his dayes determined? the nober of his moneths are with thee: thou hast appointed his boundes, which he can not passe.
Barri jireenya namaa murtaaʼaa dha; baayʼinni jiʼoota isaas si bira jira; daangaa inni darbuu hin dandeenye daangessiteefii jirta.
6 Turne from him that he may cease vntill his desired day, as an hyreling.
Hamma inni akka hojjetaa tokkootti bara isaa raawwatutti, fuula kee isa irraa deebifadhu; isas dhiisi.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it bee cut downe, that it will yet sproute, and the branches thereof will not cease.
“Mukni illee abdii qaba: Yoo murame deebiʼee ni lata; dameen isaa haaraanis hin gogu.
8 Though the roote of it waxe olde in the earth, and the stocke thereof be dead in ye ground,
Yoo gufuun isaa lafa keessatti dulloomee gufuun isaa biyyoo keessatti tortore iyyuu,
9 Yet by the sent of water it will bud, and bring foorth boughes like a plant.
foolii bishaaniitiin lata; akka biqiltuuttis damee ni baafata.
10 But man is sicke, and dyeth, and man perisheth, and where is he?
Namni garuu duʼee awwaalama; lubbuun isaa keessaa baati; innis hin jiraatu.
11 As the waters passe from the sea, and as the flood decayeth and dryeth vp,
Akkuma bishaan galaanaa gogu yookaan lagnis dhumee gogu sana,
12 So man sleepeth and riseth not: for hee shall not wake againe, nor be raised from his sleepe till the heauen be no more.
namnis akkasuma ni ciisa; hin kaʼus; hamma samiiwwan darbanittis hin dammaqu yookaan hirribaa hin kaʼu.
13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the graue, and keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath were past, and wouldest giue me terme, and remember me. (Sheol h7585)
“Maaloo utuu awwaala keessa na dhoksitee hamma dheekkamsi kee darbutti na haguugdee! Maaloo utuu beellama naa kennitee ergasii immoo na yaadattee! (Sheol h7585)
14 If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of mine appointed time will I waite, till my changing shall come.
Namni tokko yoo duʼe deebiʼee ni jiraataa? Ani hamma haaromfamni koo dhufutti, bara rakkoo koo hunda obsaan nan eeggadha.
15 Thou shalt call me, and I shall answere thee: thou louest the worke of thine own hands.
Ati na waamta; anis si jalaa nan owwaadha; hojii harka keetiis ni hawwita.
16 But nowe thou nombrest my steppes, and doest not delay my sinnes.
Yeroo sana ati tarkaanfii koo ni lakkoofta; cubbuu koo garuu hin toʼattu.
17 Mine iniquitie is sealed vp, as in a bagge, and thou addest vnto my wickednesse.
Yakki koo korojootti naqamee chaappeffama; ati cubbuu koo ni haguugda.
18 And surely as the mountaine that falleth, commeth to nought, and the rocke that is remooued from his place:
“Garuu akkuma tulluun lolaadhaan dhiqamee jigu, kattaanis iddoo isaatii buqqaʼu sana,
19 As the water breaketh the stones, when thou ouerflowest the things which growe in the dust of ye earth: so thou destroyest ye hope of man.
akkuma bishaan dhagaa nyaatee haphisu, akkuma lolaan biyyoo dhiqu sana, atis akkasuma abdii namaa ni balleessita.
20 Thou preuailest alway against him, so that he passeth away: he changeth his face when thou castest him away.
Ati bara baraan isa ni moota; innis ni bada; bifa isaa ni geeddarta; of irraas isa fageessita.
21 And he knoweth not if his sonnes shall be honourable, neither shall he vnderstand concerning them, whether they shalbe of lowe degree,
Yoo ilmaan isaa ulfina argatan inni hin beeku; yoo isaan salphatanis hin argu.
22 But while his flesh is vpon him, he shall be sorowfull, and while his soule is in him, it shall mourne.
Dhukkuba dhagna isaa qofatu isatti dhagaʼama; inni mataa isaa qofaaf booʼa.”
