Job 13
1 “Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything [that you have seen], and I have heard and understood all [that you have said].
Dilia sia: be huluane, na da musa: nabi dagoi. Na da amo huluane dawa: ! Dilia dawa: i liligi da na dawa: su hame baligisa. Na da dili defele esala.
2 What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.
3 But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).
Be na da dilima sia: ga gegesu hame gala. Na da Godema fawane sia: ga gegesu gala.
4 As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].
Dilia da hou hamedafa dawa: Amaiba: le, eno dunu da dilia hame dawa: su hou ba: sa: besa: le, dilia udigili ogogosu sia: daha. Dilia da manoma legesu hina dunu amo da oloi uhinisisu hou hame dawa: , agoai ba: sa.
5 I wish/desire that you would be silent; that would be the wisest thing that you [could do].
Dilia ouiya: ma! Amasea, dunu eno da dilia da bagade dawa: su dunu dawa: mu!
6 Listen to what I will say to you now; listen while I am saying [what is true about myself].
Nabima! Bai na da na hou noga: le dodofele imunusa: momagele esala.
7 Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?
Dilia abuliba: le ogogosala: ? Dilia ogogosu da Gode fidima: beyale, dilia dawa: sala: ?
8 Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?
Dilia da Gode gaga: musa: dawa: sala: ? Dilia da fofada: su diasuga, Gode gaga: ma: ne fofada: ma: bela: ?
9 If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?
Gode da dili ha: giwane sosodosea, E da dilia hou amo ganodini noga: i liligi ba: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu! Dilia da eno dunuma bagade ogogosa. Be dilia Godema agoane ogogomu da hamedei.
10 If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you, he will surely rebuke you.
Dilia moloi hame hou da wamolegei dagoi. Be Gode da dilia wamolegei hou ba: mu. Amola E da dilima gagabole sia: mu.
11 He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness; you will become extremely afraid.
Dilia da Ea gasa bagade hou ba: sea, beda: gia: mu.
12 The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].
Dilia malasu sia: da hamedei, nasubu agoane gala. Dilia sia: ga gegei da gasa hame laga osobo agoai.
13 “So, be quiet and allow me to speak, and then it will not matter what happens to me.
Ouiya: ma! Na sia: ma: ne, logo doasima! Na sia: be ea dabe ninia hobea ba: mu.
14 I am ready to endure anything; I am [even] willing to risk being executed [IDM, DOU] [for what I will say].
Na da sia: sea, bogosu dabe ba: ma: bela: ? Be na da bogomusa: momagele esala.
15 If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].
Na da hobea misunu hou dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su huluane da fisi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Gode da na fane legesea, na da hame dawa: mu.
16 No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”
Amabela: ? Na da hame beda: iba: le, na da Godema moloiwane sia: sea, E da nama asigima: bela: ? Bai wadela: le hamosu dunu da beda: iba: le, ilia da Gode Ea odagia moloiwane sia: mu gogolesa.
17 “God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].
Defea! Na da na hou olelesea, dili nabima!
18 I am ready to prove that I am innocent, and I know that you also will declare that I am not guilty.
Na da wali na hou noga: le dodofele imunusa: momagele esala. Bai na hou da moloidafa, na dawa:
19 I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.
Gode! Di da nama diwaneya udidimusa: mahabela: ? Amai galea, na da ouiya: le bogomusa: momagele ouesala.
20 “I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].
Be na da Dima adole ba: su aduna gala. Di da na adole ba: su amoma defele adole iasea, na da Dima hame wamoaligimu.
21 [The first thing that I request is that you] stop punishing [IDM] me; and [the second thing that I request is that you] stop causing me to be very terrified.
Adole ba: su afae da, ‘Nama se iabe amo yolesima!’ Eno da ‘Dia na beda: ma: ne mae banenesima!’
22 You speak [first], and then I will reply; or allow me to speak first, and [then] you reply.
Gode! Di hidadea sia: ma! Amasea, na da Dima dabe adole imunu. O hidadea, na Dima sia: ma: ne logo doasima! Amasea, Di nama dabe adole ima.
23 What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed? Show me how I have disobeyed you.
Na da adi hou giadofabela: ? Na da adi wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Dima fofada: ma: bela: ?
24 Why (do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned) me [IDM]? Why do you (act toward me as though I am/consider me to be) your enemy?
Dia abuliba: le naba: le hobeabela: ? Dia abuliba: le, na Dia ha lai dunu defele ba: sala: ?
25 I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind; why are you trying to cause me to be afraid [RHQ]? Why are you pursuing me? Am I [useless, nothing more than a bit of] dry chaff [RHQ]?
Di da na beda: ma: ne hamosala: ? Na da hamedei liligi, lubi agoai gala. Di da fedege agoane gisi bioi amoma doagala: sa.
26 [It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.
Di da nama mi hananewane fofada: nana. Na goi fonoboga wadela: le hamoi liligi, amoba: le Di da nama fofada: sa.
27 [It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].
Di da na emo sia: inega la: gilisili, na osa: le gaga ahoabe Di noga: le sosodosa. Na emobu amolawane, Di da noga: le abodele ba: sa.
28 [As a result], my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood, like a piece of cloth that is eaten by [larvae of] moths.”
Amaiba: le, na da dasai ifa defele, fofonobone dasale daha. Amola abula aowabaga mai defele, nuini daha.
