Job 20
1 Then Zophar replied,
Soufa da amane sia: i,
2 “I am very perturbed about what you have said, so I want to reply very quickly.
Yoube! Dia sia: beba: le, na da se bagade naba. Na da hedolowane dima bu adole imunusa: dawa: lala.
3 By saying these things you have insulted me, but I know how (OR, because I understand very much) I can reply to you.
Dia waha sia: i liligi da ninima sisa: nosu gala. Be na da dima bu adole imunu dawa:
4 “Do you not know that from long ago, ever since people were first put on the earth,
Di dawa: ! Musa: hemonega, Gode da nini osobo bagade dunu osobo bagadega asunasi.
5 wicked people [like you] do not continue to rejoice for a long time, ungodly people are happy only for a (moment/very short time) [HYP]?
Be wadela: i hou hamosu dunu afae da hahawane hou hamedafa ba: i.
6 [Even] though their reputation/pride reaches up to the sky and their fame goes up as high as the clouds,
Amabela: ? Ea bagadewane asigilale, ea dialuma da mu mobiga doaga: mu.
7 they will disappear forever, like their own dung, and those who knew them will ask, ‘(Where did they go/What happened to them)?’
Be ea da gulu sawa: defele, foga mini asi dagoi ba: mu. Dunu amo da e musa: dawa: digi, ilia da amo dunu da habidili asi dagoi dawa: mu.
8 They will be forgotten like [SIM] a dream is, and they will exist no more. They will vanish, like visions [that people see] during the night.
Ea da simasia amola gasia sidagane esala ba: su defele, alalolesili, bu hamedafa ba: mu.
9 Those who saw those people previously will never see them again; even their families [MTY] will not see them any more.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ea da ea musa: esalebe sogebi amoga alalolesili, bu hamedafa ba: mu.
10 Their children will be forced to return the valuable things that those children stole from poor people [DOU].
Amasea, liligi amo ea da hame gagui dunuma wamolai, ea mano da bu ilima imunu.
11 Previously their bodies were young and strong, but they will die and [their bodies will] be buried in the ground.
Ea da: i da musa: ayeligi gasa bagade galusu, be ea da hedolowane bu gulu agoane hamomu.
12 “Doing wicked things was like having sweet food in their mouths, and they wanted to continue to taste it.
13 And they did not want to stop doing those things,
Fedege agoane, wadela: i hou da ema hedai bagade. Amaiba: le, hedama: ne ea lafia musui diala.
14 [but some day] the evil things that they enjoyed doing will become like food [that they swallow] [and which becomes] as bitter as snake venom.
Be amo ha: i manu da ea hagomo ganodini bu medosu hano defele gia: sa.
15 Wicked people will not continue to keep the money they have accumulated, like people do not keep the food that they vomit. God takes their wealth from them.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da ea wamolai liligi huluane isole iaha. Gode da amo liligi ea hagomo ganodini dialebe, amo Hi samogesa.
16 What wicked people do is [like] [MET] swallowing snake venom; it will kill them like [MET] the bite of a poisonous snake kills people.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu ea da: gibi da bogosu hano agoai gala. Amo da medosu sania ea gasonasea bogobe agoai gala.
17 They will not remain alive to see abundant blessings [IDM] [from God], milk and olive oil and honey, that are [so abundant they are] like [MET] a stream that flows by.
Ea da bogomuba: le, olife susuligi hano agoane ahoabe hame ba: mu. Amola dodo maga: me amola agime hano hanodafa ahoabe agoane hame ba: mu.
18 They will be forced to give back the things that they stole from the poor; they will not be able to continue to enjoy those things. They will not remain happy because of what they got from their businesses,
Ea hawa: hamobega: dabe lasu huluane, ea da fisimu. Ea lai bidi amoga nodone dawa: mu da hamedei ba: mu.
19 because they oppressed poor people and refused to help them, and they took other people’s houses [by cheating them].
Bai ea da hame gagui dunu amo hame dawa: i, amola ili banenesi. Amola ea da diasu amo dunu enoga gagui, samogene lai.
20 “They were always greedy and never satisfied. They just keep dreaming about owning more and more things.
Ea uasu hou hamonanebe da hame fisisa.
21 When they finished eating their food, there was never anything left over [because they had greedily eaten it all]; but now their prosperity will end.
Ea ha: i nasea, oda dialebe da hame ba: sa. Be wali ea bagade gagui hou da hedofai dagoi.
22 When they are extremely prosperous/wealthy, they will suddenly experience a lot of trouble. (Misery will strike them and crush them [PRS]/They will suffer very greatly).
Ea baligiliwane gagui dagoiba: le, ea baligili da: i dioi ba: mu. Amola banenesi dagoi ba: mu.
23 When the wicked people are filling their stomachs, God will show that he is very angry with them and punish them; the punishment [that he gives them] will be like [MET] rain falling on them.
Ea hanai defele moma: ne sia: ma! Gode da Ea ougi bagade amoga ema se dabe imunu.
24 They will try to escape from [being killed by] iron weapons, but arrows with bronze points will pierce them.
Ea da ouliga hamoi gegesu gobihei amoba: le hobeasea, balasega hamoi oulali da e gala: le sanasimu.
25 The arrows will [go completely through their bodies and] stick out of their backs; the shiny points of the arrows will have blood dripping from them, and those wicked people will be terrified.
Dadi da e gala: le, badofasea, dadi si amodili maga: me dadisa. Amasea, ea da bagadewane beda: sa.
26 Their valuable possessions will all be destroyed; a fire that is not lit by humans, [but by God, ] will burn them up and also destroy the things that are left in their tents.
Ea gagui liligi huluane da gugunufinisi dagoi. Lalu amo da dunuga hame ulagisi, da e amola ea sosogo huluane nesa.
27 The [angels in] heaven [MTY] will reveal the sins that those wicked people have committed, and [people on] earth will stand up and testify against them.
Hebene da ea wadela: i hou odagia ba: lesisa. Amola osobo bagade da ema hamoi amo fofada: sa.
28 When God punishes [MTY] [people], all the possessions in the wicked people’s houses will be carried away by a flood.
Ea bagade gagui huluane da Gode Ea ougiga wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
29 That is what will happen to wicked people [like you]; that is what God has decided will happen to them.”
Gode da agoai wadela: le hamosu dunu ilima amo defele gugunufinisimusa: ilegei dagoi.”
