Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Eliihuunis itti fufee akkana jedhe:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“Ati waan kana qajeelaa seetaa? Ati, ‘Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa dha’ jetta.
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
Ati, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa maalii naa qaba? Ani cubbuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan maalin argadha?’ jettee gaafatta.
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
“Ani siʼii fi michoota kee kanneen si wajjin jiraniif deebii kennuu nan barbaada.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Ol jedhiitii samiiwwan ilaali; duumessoota siin ol jiranis argi.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Ati yoo cubbuu hojjette maal isa miita? Cubbuun kees yoo baayʼate maal isa godha?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Ati yoo qajeelaa taate, maal isaaf kennita? Yookaan inni harka kee irraa maal argata?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Hamminni kee nama akka keetii qofa miidha; qajeelummaan kees ilmaan namaa qofa fayyada.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
“Waan cunqursaan itti hammaatteef namoonni ni iyyu; irree humna qabeessaa jalaa baʼuufis gargaarsaaf wawwaatu.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
Garuu namni tokko iyyuu akkana hin jedhu; ‘Waaqni Uumaan koo, inni halkaniin faarfannaa namaa kennu,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
kan bineensota lafa irraa caalaa beektota, simbirroo samii caalaas ogeeyyii nu godhu eessa jira?’
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Inni sababii of tuulummaa jalʼootaatiif yommuu namoonni iyyanitti deebii hin kennu.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Dhugumaan Waaqni iyya isaanii kan gatii hin qabne sana hin dhaggeeffatu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu iyya sanaaf gurra hin kennu.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Yoo ati, ‘Dubbiin koo fuula isaa dura jira; ani isa eeggachaan jira; garuu isa arguu hin dandaʼu’ jette, inni hammam kanaa gad iyyuu xinneessee haa dhagaʼu ree!
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Amma illee sababii dheekkamsi isaa nama hin adabneef, sababii inni balleessaa namaa akka waan guddaa tokkootti hin fudhanneef,
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Iyyoob oduu faayidaa hin qabneen afaan bana; beekumsa malees dubbii baayʼisa.”
