Job 16
1 Bvt Iob answered, and said,
Iyyoobis akkana jedhee deebise:
2 I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
“Ani waan akkanaa baayʼee dhagaʼeera; hundi keessan jajjabeessitoota nama dhiphistanii dha!
3 Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?
Haasaan faayidaa hin qabne kun hin dhumuu? Wanni akka ati oduu dheeressituuf si tuttuqu maali?
4 I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,
Utuu isin iddoo koo jiraattanii silaa ani akkuma keessan kana nan dubbadha ture; dubbii miʼooftuu dubbachuudhaanis mataa koo isinitti nan raasan ture.
5 But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.
Ani afaan kootiin isin jajjabeessee gorsi arraba kootiis qabbana isinii kenna ture.
6 Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?
“Yoo ani dubbadhe dhukkubni koo natti hin wayyaaʼu; cal jedhus na hin dhiisu.
7 But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,
Yaa Waaqi, ati dhugumaan na dadhabsiifteerta; warra mana koo jiru hundas balleessiteerta.
8 And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.
Ati na kokotteessite; kunis ragaa natti taʼe; akka malee huqqachuun koos ifatti baʼee na saaxile.
9 His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.
Waaqni dheekkamsa isaatiin rukutee na ciccire; ilkaan isaa natti qarate; diinni koo ija isaa natti babaase.
10 They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.
Namoonni natti qoosuuf afaan banatan; tuffiidhaan maddii koo kabalan; tokko taʼanii natti kaʼan.
11 God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.
Waaqnis dabarsee hamootatti na kenne; harka jalʼootaa keessas na buuse.
12 I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.
Ani nagaan jiraachaan ture; inni garuu na burkuteesse; morma na qabee na caccabse. Xiyyeeffannaa isaas na godhate;
13 His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.
loltoonni isaa warri xiyyaan lolan na marsu. Inni gara laafina malee kalee koo waraanee hadhooftuu koo illee lafatti gad jigse.
14 He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.
Inni ammumaa amma na caccabsa; akkuma loltuu tokkootti natti fiiga.
15 I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.
“Ani gogaa kootti uffata gaddaa hodhadheera; gaanfa koos biyyoo keessatti awwaaleera.
16 My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,
Fuulli koo booʼichaan diimateera; dukkanni limixiinis ija koo irra buʼeera.
17 Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.
Taʼus harki koo yakka tokko illee hin hojjenne; kadhannaan koos qulqulluu dha.
18 O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.
“Yaa lafa, ati dhiiga koo hin dhoksin; akka iyyi koo iddoo boqonnaa argatus hin godhin!
19 For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.
Amma iyyuu dhuga baʼaan koo samii irra jira; abukaattoon koos ol gubbaa jira.
20 My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
Michoonni koo na tuffatu; iji koos imimmaan gara Waaqaatti facaasa;
21 Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!
akkuma namni michuu isaatiif kadhatu sana utuu namni Waaqa kadhatu namaaf jiraatee!
22 For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.
“Waggoota xinnoo booddee, ani gara deemanii deebiʼuun hin jirre nan deema.
