Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
Yoube! Di da Gode Ea siga ba: ma: ne moloidafa fawane hamosa sia: be, amo da defea hame.
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
Di da Godema amane sia: sa. ‘Na wadela: i hou da Dima bai hame gala. Na da wadela: i hou hame hamoiba: le, bidi noga: i hamedafa ba: i.’ Amo sia: amola da defea hame.
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Na da dima amola dia samalalima gilisili adole imunu.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Mu ba: ma! Mu mobi gadodafa dialebe amo ba: ma!
6 If you have sinned, that does not [RHQ] harm God at all. If many times you do things that are wrong, that certainly does not [RHQ] affect him [DOU].
Di da wadela: le hamoi ganiaba, Gode da se hame naba: loba. Di da wadela: i hou gebewane hamonanea, Gode da Ea hou afadenema: bela: ?
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
Di da moloidafa hou hamobeba: le, Godema fidima: bela: ? Gode da dima fidisu lamu da hamedei.
8 It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
Dia da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dunu eno da se naba. Amola dia da noga: i hou hamosea, amo da ilia hou fidisa.
9 “People cry out because of the many things that people do to others to (oppress them/treat them cruelly); they call for help because of the things that powerful people do [MTY] to them.
Gasa fi dunu da eno dunu banenesisia, ilia da gogonomosa. Ilia dunu eno ili gaga: ma: ne wele sia: sa.
10 But (no one/none of them) calls out [to God], saying ‘Why does God, my creator, [not help me]? He [should] enable me to sing [joyful] songs, [instead of very sad songs, ] during the night.
Be ilia da ili hahamosu Godema hame sinidigisa. Be ilia da gasi dunasi amo ganodini se nabawane esalea, Gode da ilima hobea misunu hahawane hou dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu imunusa: dawa:
11 He [should be able to] teach us more than all the wild animals do; he [should] enable us to become wiser than [all] the birds are!’
Ilia Godema hame sinidigisa. Be Gode da bagade dawa: su hou ninima iaha. Amola E da amo ninima iabeba: le, ninia asigi dawa: su da ohe fi amola sio fi huluane ilia asigi dawa: su baligisa.
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Ilia da Godema, ili fidima: ne wele sia: sa, be Gode da ilima dabe hame adole iaha. Bai ilia da hidale gasa fili agoane wadela: le hamosa.
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
Ilia udigili agoane fidima: ne wele sia: sa. Bai Gode Bagadedafa da ili hame ba: sa amola ilia sia: hame naba.
14 So, when you complain that you cannot see God, and you tell him that you are waiting for him [to decide whether or not you should be punished for what you have done], God will not listen to you, either!
Yoube! Di Gode hame ba: sa sia: sa! Be gebewane ouesaloma! Gode da Ea ilegei eso doaga: sea, fofada: mu.
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
Di da Gode da se dabe hame iaha dawa: sa. Di da Gode da wadela: i hou hame abodesayale dawa: sa.
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
Di da bu gebewane sia: nanumu da hamedei. Na ba: loba, dia da bai hame dawa: beba: le, udigili sia: daha.
