Job 35
1 And Elius resumed and said,
Eliihuunis itti fufee akkana jedhe:
2 What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
“Ati waan kana qajeelaa seetaa? Ati, ‘Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa dha’ jetta.
3 I will answer you, and your three friends.
Ati, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa maalii naa qaba? Ani cubbuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan maalin argadha?’ jettee gaafatta.
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.
“Ani siʼii fi michoota kee kanneen si wajjin jiraniif deebii kennuu nan barbaada.
5 If you have sinned, what will you do?
Ol jedhiitii samiiwwan ilaali; duumessoota siin ol jiranis argi.
6 and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?
Ati yoo cubbuu hojjette maal isa miita? Cubbuun kees yoo baayʼate maal isa godha?
7 And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?
Ati yoo qajeelaa taate, maal isaaf kennita? Yookaan inni harka kee irraa maal argata?
8 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.
Hamminni kee nama akka keetii qofa miidha; qajeelummaan kees ilmaan namaa qofa fayyada.
9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
“Waan cunqursaan itti hammaatteef namoonni ni iyyu; irree humna qabeessaa jalaa baʼuufis gargaarsaaf wawwaatu.
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
Garuu namni tokko iyyuu akkana hin jedhu; ‘Waaqni Uumaan koo, inni halkaniin faarfannaa namaa kennu,
11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
kan bineensota lafa irraa caalaa beektota, simbirroo samii caalaas ogeeyyii nu godhu eessa jira?’
12 There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Inni sababii of tuulummaa jalʼootaatiif yommuu namoonni iyyanitti deebii hin kennu.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Dhugumaan Waaqni iyya isaanii kan gatii hin qabne sana hin dhaggeeffatu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu iyya sanaaf gurra hin kennu.
14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
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 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Amma illee sababii dheekkamsi isaa nama hin adabneef, sababii inni balleessaa namaa akka waan guddaa tokkootti hin fudhanneef,
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
Iyyoob oduu faayidaa hin qabneen afaan bana; beekumsa malees dubbii baayʼisa.”
