< Job 39 >

1 “[Job], do you know at what time/season [of the year] the female mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the wild deer while their fawns were being born?
Di da goumia esalebe goudi ilia lalelegesu eso dawa: sala: ? Di da sigua ‘dia’ gebo ilia mano lalelegei hou ba: bela: ?
2 Do you know how many months pass from the time they become pregnant until their fawns are born?
Di da ilia eso habodayane galuiyale dawa: bela: Di da ilia lalelegemu eso ilegei dawa: sala: ?
3 [When they give birth, ] they crouch down so that the fawns do not [get hurt by] falling to the ground when they are born.
Ilia habogala mano lamusa: beguduli lobo gaguladabe, amo di dawa: bela: ?
4 The young fawns grow up in the open fields, and then they leave their mothers and do not return to them again.
Ilia da iwiladafa amo ganodini gasa lale, alesa. Ilia da ga asili, hame buhagisa.
5 “Who allows the wild donkeys to go wherever they want [DOU]?
Sigua dougi halegale masa: ne, nowa ilia logo doasibala: ?
6 I am the one who put them in the desert, in places where grass does not grow.
Na da ili amogai esaloma: ne, hafoga: i soge ilima i. Ilia da hafoga: i deme (sali) dialebe umiga esaloma: ne, Na logo doasi.
7 They do not like the noise in the cities; [in the desert] they do not have to listen to the shouts of those who force donkeys to work.
Ilia sia: gulubagebe moilai bai bagade gadenene hame esala. Amola dunu ilia da ili fofole amola ilia hawa: hamoma: ne sia: mu hamedei ba: sa.
8 They go to the hills to find food; there they search for grass to eat.
Ilia goumia mola: iya: i ha: i manu hogosa.
9 :Will a wild ox agree to work for you? Will it allow you to keep it penned up at night in the place where you put feed for your animals?
Sigua bulamagau gawali da digili hawa: hamonesima: bela: ? E da dia bulamagau diasuga gasi afae esaloma: bela: ?
10 And can you fasten it with a rope so that it will plow furrows/trenches in your fields?
Di da sigua bulamagau gawali afaema efe gomenesili, osobo gidinama: ne sia: mu dawa: bela: ? Di da e gomenesili, osobo gisuga gima: ne sia: mu dawa: bela: ?
11 Since it is very strong, can you trust it to work for you? Can you go away after you tell it what work it should do [and assume that it will do that work]?
Di da ea gasa bagade amoga e da dia hawa: hamosu fawane hamoma: ne dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ?
12 Can you rely on it to come back [from the field], bringing your grain to the place where you thresh it?
E da dia bugi gamisu dima gaguli misa: bela: ? E da gagoma dia dabasu faia dialebe, amo gagadole lidima: bela: ?
13 “[Think also about] the ostriches. [They] joyfully flap their wings, but they do not have wing feathers [that enable them to fly] like storks do.
‘Osadaligi’ (wida agoai) ea ougia da hedolodafa dada ahoa. Be ‘osadaligi’ afae da ‘sidoge’ ea hagili ahoabe defele hame dawa:
14 Ostriches lay their eggs on top of the ground [and then walk away], leaving the eggs to be warmed in the sand.
‘Osadaligi’ da ea oso da osobo da: iya dogoloma: ne legesa.
15 Ostriches do not worry that some wild animal may step on the eggs and crush them [DOU].
Be e da asigi dawa: su hame dawa: beba: le, amo oso da emoga hasalasimu o sigua ohe amoga goudanisimu, amo e da hame dawa:
16 Ostriches act cruelly towards their chicks; they act as though the chicks belonged to some other ostrich. They are not concerned if [their chicks die], [and so] the laying of the eggs was in vain.
E da amo oso da ea: hameyale defele, e da hamosa. E da ea oso udigili legebayale dawa: beba: le, hame da: i diosa.
17 That is because I did not allow ostriches to be wise. I did not enable them to be intelligent.
Be Ni fawane da e gagaoulisi, amola ema bagade dawa: su hame i.
18 But, when they get up and begin to run, they scornfully laugh at horses with their riders [because the horses cannot run as fast as the ostriches!]
Be e da muni hehenane ahoasea, e da hosi amola hosi fila heda: i dunu amoba: le ousa.
19 And [think about] horses. [Job], are you the one who caused horses to be strong? Are you the one who put flowing (manes/long hair) on their necks?
Yoube! Di fawane da hosi ilima gasa ibala: ? Di fawane da ilima ilia mugi hinabo sedade ibala: ?
20 Are you the one who enabled them to leap forward like locusts? When they (snort/blow loudly through their noses), they cause people to be afraid.
Di da ili danuba: defele soagagala: ma: ne ilima ibala: ? Amola ili dunu beda: ma: ne hagogala: ma: ne hamobela: ?
21 They paw the ground, rejoicing about being very strong, as they prepare to rush into a battle.
Hosi da nimiwane osobo fagoa gudu gigila: sa. Ilia da ilia gasa huluane defele, gegemusa: hehenasa.
22 [It is as if] they laugh at the thought of being afraid. They are not afraid of anything! They do not run away when [the soldiers in the battle are fighting each other with] swords.
Ilia da beda: su hamedafa dawa: Amola gegesu gobihei afae da ili sinidigima: ne hamomu hame dawa:
23 The quivers containing the riders’ arrows rattle against the horses’ sides, and the spears and javelins flash [in the light of the sun].
Ilima fila heda: i dunu ilia gegesu liligi da ginina: ginina: sa, amola esoga baba gaga: la: sa.
24 The horses paw the ground fiercely/excitedly, [wanting the battle to begin, ] and they rush into the battle when the trumpet is blown.
Fofogadigili yaguguli, ilia misosogane hehenasa. Gegesu dalabede da wesea, ilia da nimi agoane fofoga: sa.
25 They neigh [joyfully] when they hear someone blowing the trumpet. They can smell a battle even when they are far away, and they understand what it means when the commanders shout their commands [to their soldiers].
Dalabede da afae wele gasea, hosi da hagogala: sa. Ilia da gegesua hame gadeneawane, nimi gaha naba. Ilia dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilia hamoma: ne wele sia: su naba.
26 “[And think about big birds.] Are you the one who enabled hawks to spread their wings and fly to the south [for the winter]?
Buhiba da ea ougia ga (south) amodili da: legasea, di da hagili ahoabe amo ema olelebela: ?
27 Do eagles fly high up [into the cliffs] to make their nests because you commanded them to do that?
Sia sio da goumi gadodafa amo da: iya bibimusa: dawa: sea, e da hidadea dia hamoma: ne sia: nabimusa: ouesaloma: bela: ?
28 They live in [holes in] those cliffs. They are safe in those high pointed rocks [because no animals can reach them there].
E da igi gadodafa da: iya bibisa. Amola goumi agesone fisiagagadoi, da ea gagili sali diasu agoai gala.
29 As they watch carefully from there, they see far away the animals that they can kill (OR, dead bodies of animals).
Amogainini, e da ga amola gadenene huluane liligi medoma: ne amola moma: ne hogosa.
30 After an eagle kills an animal, the baby eagles drink the blood of that animal.”
Sia sio ilia da bogoi da: i manusa: beba: le sisiga: sa. Waha debe sia da maga: me nososa.
