Job 31
1 “I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].
Na da uda eno mae magesa: i ba: ma: ne, Godema dafawaneyale ilegele sia: i.
2 [If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!
Gode Bagadedafa da ninima adi hamosala: ? E da habodane osobo bagade dunu ilia houba: le dabe iabela: ?
3 [Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.
E da wadela: le hamosu dunuma gugunufinisisu hou amola wadela: lesisu hou iasisa.
4 God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.
Gode da na hamobe liligi huluane dawa: E da na osa: le gagabe huluane ba: lala.
5 [“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.
Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa! Na da wadela: le hamedafa hamosu. Amola na da eno dunuma hamedafa ogogosu.
6 I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).
Gode da moloidafa dioi defesu amo da: iya, na adoba: mu da defea. Amasea, na hou da moloidafa, E da ba: mu.
7 If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,
Na da logodafa fisiagai ganiaba, o wadela: le hamomu hanai ganiaba, o na lobo da wadela: le hamoiba: le ledo hamoi ganiaba,
8 then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.
defea, na ha: i manu bugi da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu da defea, amola dunu enoga na bugi moma: mu da defea gala: loba.
9 “If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],
Na da na na: iyado idua hanaiwane ba: i ganiaba, amola amo uda ea logo ga: su gadili wamoaligi ouesalebe ba: i ganiaba,
10 I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.
defea, na uda da eno dunu ea ha: i manu gobemu, amola e da dunu eno amola gilisili golamu da defea gala: loba.
11 [For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.
Nowa da agoane wadela: le hamosea, ilima se iasu da bogosu ba: mu da defea.
12 My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
Na da agoane wadela: i hou hamoi ganiaba, amo hou da gugunufinisisu Helo lalu defele ba: la: loba. Amola amo lalu da na gagui huluane na dagola: loba.
13 “And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,
Musa: , na hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da nama egasea, na da ilia sia: nabalu, ilima moloidafa hamosu.
14 God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]
Na da amane hame hamoi ganiaba, na da Gode Ea midadi habodane leloma: bela: ? Gode da nama fofada: musa: masea, na da Ema adi sia: ma: bela: ?
15 God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].
Gode da na da: i hahamoi. Amola Ea da na hawa: hamosu dunu ili amolawane hahamoi dagoi.
16 “I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),
Na da hame gagui dunu fidimusa: hamedafa hihi. Na da didalo uda ili se nabawane esaloma: ne, hamedafa yolesi.
Na da ha: i sadini nanu, guluba: mano ha: aligi esaloma: ne hamedafa yolesi.
Na esalusu huluane amoga na da amo hahani dunu noga: le ouligilalusu.
19 or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],
Na da hame gagui dunu amo da abula bidi lamu hamedei ba: loba,
20 and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]
na da sibi hinabo amo na da na sibi wa: iga lai, amoga hamoi abula ema iasu. Amalalu, e da nama nodosu.
21 or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);
Na da fofada: su diasuga hasalimu dawa: bela: le, guluba: mano afae ema ogogole hamoi ganiaba,
22 [if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.
na lobo fimu amola na ougia dagalisi dagoi ba: mu da defea gala: loba.
23 I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].
Na da agoai hou hamomu hamedafa dawa: i. Bai na da Gode Ea se dabe imunu amoga beda: sa.
24 “If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],
Na da bagade gagui hou amo da bai bagadeyale hamedafa dawa: su.
25 or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,
Amola na da bagade gaguiba: le, hame hidasu.
26 or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon
Na da eso ea hadigi amoma nodone hame sia: ne gadosu. Amola oubi gela: gegei amoma nodone hame sia: ne gadosu.
27 and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,
Na wadela: le hamoma: ne, na da ili (oubi amola eso) amoma asigi sia: musa: , na lobo nonogonanu hame oleagasu.
28 those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].
Agoai wadela: i hou amoma se dabe iasu da bogosu ba: mu da defea. Amo wadela: i hou da Gode da hame esala, amo defele olelesa.
29 “[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].
Nama ha lai dunu da se nababeba: le, na da hamedafa nodosu. Amola gugunufinisisu hou ilima doaga: beba: le, na hame nodosu.
Na da ili bogoma: ne, na da hamedafa wadela: le sia: ne gadoi.
31 [It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!
Nama hawa: hamosu dunu huluane da na da eso huluane ga fi yosia: sa, amo dawa:
Na da lalusu dunu na diasuga aowamusa: misa: ne sia: su. Ilia udigili logoga golasa: besa: le, na ili aowasu.
33 Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;
Dunu oda ilia da ilia wadela: i hou wamolegemusa: dawa: Be na da na wadela: i hou hamedafa wamolegesa.
34 and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.
Na da eno dunu ilia sia: be amoga hame beda: su. Ilia gadesu hou amoma beda: iba: le, na da hame ouiya: su amola diasu gelabo ganodini hame ouesalusu.
35 “I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.
Dunu afae da na sia: nabima: bela: ? Na da Gode Bagadedafa Ea Dioba: le ilegele sia: sa. Na sia: huluanedafa da dafawane. Gode Hi da nama adole imunu da defea. Ilia da fofada: su liligi amo nama ha lai dunu da nama fofada: nanu, amo huluane na ba: ma: ne dedene legemu ganiaba,
36 [If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].
na da na gida da: iya hahawane gasisalala: loba amola habuga agoane na dialuma da: iya figisila: loba.
37 I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.
Na da na hamoi hou huluane Godema adola: loba, amola Ea midadi na moloi hou dawa: beba: le, na dialuma mae fili guduli, hahawane lela: loba.
38 If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;
Be na da na bugili nasu soge, amo soge edadafa ilima wamolai ganiaba,
39 or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];
na da ha: i manu amogai bugi mai ganiaba, amola ifabi hawa: hamosu ilima ha: i manu hame iabeba: le, ilia ha: ga bogomu logo doasi ganiaba,
40 then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
defea amo sogega widi amola bali mae heda: le, udigili gagalobo amola aya: gaga: nomei gisi heda: mu da defea gala: loba.” Yoube ea sia: da dagoi wea.
