Job 21
1 Then Job replied,
Yoube da amane sia: i,
2 “Listen to what I say, all [three] of you; that is the only thing that you can do that will comfort me.
Na sia: be nabima! Na da amo dogo denesisu fawane dilima adole ba: sa.
3 Be patient with me, and allow me to speak. Then, after I am finished speaking, you can continue to make fun of me.
Dilia na sia: ma: ne, logo doasima! Amasea, na sia: da dagosea, dilia da hanaiba: le, ba: sola: le gagama!
4 “It is certainly not [RHQ] people against whom I am complaining, [but God] And it is certainly [RHQ] right for me to be impatient!
Na sia: ga gegesu da osobo bagade dunu ilima hame. Be na momabo hou da bai bagade gala.
5 Look at me! Does what you see not cause you to be appalled and to put your hands over your mouths [and say no more]?
Nama ba: ma! Dilia fofogadigi ouiya: le ha: gi nama sosodomu da defea.
6 When I think about [what has happened to me], I am frightened and my entire body shakes.
Na da nama hamoi hou amo bu dawa: sea, na da dawa: su hamedei amola na da yagugusa.
7 “[But let me ask this: ] ‘Why do wicked people continue to live, and become prosperous, and not die until they are very old?’
Abuliba: le Gode da wadela: i hou hamosu dunu esaloma: ne yolesisala: ? E abuliba: le ili da: i hamone amola bagade gaguiwane esaloma: ne yolesisala: ?
8 They have their children around them, and they watch them while they [grow up and] start to live in their own houses, and they enjoy their grandchildren.
Ilia da ilia mano amola ilia aowalali ilia asigilabe ba: musa: sosodo esafulu.
9 Wicked people live in their own houses without being afraid, and God does not punish [MTY] them.
Gode da ili diasu amoga gugunufinisisu hou hame iasisa. Ilia da beda: didigisa hame esalumu.
10 Their bulls always mate with the cows successfully, and the cows give birth to calves and never miscarry.
Dafawane, ilia bulamagau da galuli amola mae se nabawane mano lalelegesa.
11 Wicked people send their young children outside [to play], and the children play [happily] like [SIM] lambs [in a pasture].
Ilia mano da sibi mano defele, hehenaiya hehedela lafiadala.
12 Some children dance and sing, while others shake tambourines and play lyres, and they are happy when they hear people playing flutes.
Ilia sani baidama amola fulabosu amo dudududabe amoga gafosa.
13 Wicked people enjoy having good things all the time that they are alive, and they die quietly/peacefully and go down to the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
Ilia olofole agoane esalu, se mae nabawane bogosa. (Sheol h7585)
14 While they are alive, they say to God, ‘Do not bother us; we do not want to know how you want us to conduct our lives!
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da Godema ili udigili yolesima: ne sia: sa. Gode da ilia esala hamomu ilegesa. Be ilia amo ilegei dawa: mu hame hanai.
15 Why do you, Almighty God, think that we should serve you? (What advantage do we get if we pray to you?/It is useless for us to pray to you.) [RHQ]’
Ilia da Godema hawa: hamomu da hamedei liligi agoane dawa: sa. Ilia Godema sia: ne gadosu da ilia hou hame fidima: beyale dawa: lala.
16 Think about it: Wicked people think that it is because of what they have done that they have become prosperous, but I do not understand why they think like that.
Ilia da ilila: gasaga didili hamosa sia: sa. Be na da ilia asigi dawa: su hou amo hame lale gamu.
17 (“How often does it happen that wicked people die [MET] before they are old?/Very seldom do wicked people die [MET] before they are old.) [RHQ] (Do they ever experience disasters?/They seldom experience disasters.) [RHQ] (Does God ever punish them because of being very angry with them?/God never punishes them because of being very angry with them.) [RHQ]
Dilia da wadela: i hamosu dunu afae ea hadigi ha: ba: doi dagoi ba: bela: ? Wadela: i hamosu dunu afae da gugunufinisisu hou ema doaga: be ba: bela: ? Gode da ougiba: le, wadela: i hamosu dunu afae amoma se dabe ibela: ?
18 [He does not blow] them away like wind blows away straw; they are never carried off by a whirlwind.
E da wadela: i hamosu dunu amo gisi foga mini asi defele, ili fulabole fasibala: ? O gulu isuga mini asi defele, ili fulabole fasibala: ?
19 You say, ‘When people have committed sins, God waits and punishes their children because of those sins;’ but [I say that] God should punish those who sin, [not their children, ] in order that the sinners will know [that it is because of their own sins that they are being punished].
Dilia da amane sia: sa! Gode da mano ea ada wadela: le hamoiba: le, amo manoma se dabe iaha. Hame mabu! Gode da wadela: i hamosu dunu, ilima fawane se dabe imunu da defea. E da ilia wadela: le hamoiba: le, ilima se dabe iaha, amo olelemu da defea.
20 I hope/wish that wicked people will experience themselves being destroyed, that they will experience being punished by an angry Almighty God.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia da ilia hamobeba: le fawane se dabe lamu da defea. Ilia Gode Bagadedafa Ea ougi bagade hou ba: mu da defea.
21 After wicked people are dead, they are not at all concerned [RHQ] about what happens to their families [MTY].
Ninia esalusu da dagosea, ninia mano da hahawane esaloma: bela: le dawa: ma: bela: ?
22 “Since God judges [everyone, ] even those that are in heaven, (who can teach God anything?/certainly no one can teach God anything.) [RHQ]
Dunu afae da Gode Ema hou olelema: bela: ? Hame mabu! Gode da dunu amo da baligili gadodafa heda: i, ilima fofada: sa.
23 Some people die while they are very healthy, while they are peaceful, when they are not afraid of anything.
24 Their bodies are fat; their bones are strong.
Dunu mogili da dagumuiwane esalea bogosa. Ilia da hahawane se mae nabawane esalu, amalu bogosa.
25 Other people die being very miserable; they have never experienced good things happening to them.
Mogili ilia da hahawane hame esalu, bogosa. Ilia da esalea amola bogosea, eso huluane hihiwane gala.
26 But both rich and poor people die and are buried, and maggots eat their bodies. [Everyone dies, so it is clear that dying is not always the punishment for being wicked].
Be dunu huluane da defele bogole, uli dogosa. Ili huluane da daba: ga dedeboi dagoi ba: sa.
27 “Listen, I know what you [three] are thinking. I know the evil things that you plan to do to me.
Dilia dogo ganodini ougi dialebe, amo na dawa:
28 You say, ‘What happened to the tents in which wicked people were living? The houses of evil rulers have been destroyed!’
Dilia da agoane adole ba: sa, ‘Mimogo dunu amo da wadela: le hamosu, amo ea diasu da wali habila: ?’
29 But have you never inquired of people who travel much? Do you not believe their reports about what they have seen,
Dilia da lalusu dunu amo bisili sia: sa: ibela: ? Ilia ga asi misini, sia: ne iasu dilia hame nabibala: ?
30 that wicked people usually do not suffer at the time when there are great disasters; that wicked people are the ones who are rescued when God is angry [and punishes people] [MTY]?
Gode da ougiba: le, se dabe bidi iasea, E da wadela: le hamosu dunuma se dabe hame iaha.
31 There is no one [RHQ] who accuses wicked people, and there is no one who (pays them back/gives them the punishment that they deserve) for all the evil things that they have done.
Dunu afae da wadela: le hamosu dunuma diwaneya udidimu, o ilia wadela: le hamobeba: le se dabe imunu da hamedafa gala.
32 The corpses of wicked people are carried to their graves, and people are put there to guard those graves.
33 A huge number [HYP] of people go to the grave site. Some go in front of the procession and some come behind. And the clods of dirt thrown on the graves of those wicked people who have died are like a nice blanket.
Dunu eno da ilia bogoi da: i hodo amo bogoi uli dogoiga gaguli ahoasea, dunu osea: idafa da ilima asigiba: le, mogodigili fa: no bobogesa. Amola osobo da ilia da: i da: iya gebewane dialebe ba: sa.
34 “So how can you console me by talking nonsense? Every reply that you make is full of lies!”
Be dilia! Dilia da na dogo denesima: ne, hamedei sia: fawane sia: sa. Dilia nama adole iasu huluane da ogogosu sia: fawane.”
