Job 27
1 Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said,
Iyyoob haasaa isaa itti fufee akkana jedhe:
2 [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty [who] hath afflicted my soul;
“Dhugaa Waaqa jiraataa murtii qajeelaa na dhowwate, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan lubbuu koo hadheesse sanaa,
3 All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
hamma lubbuun na keessa jirtutti, hamma hafuurri Waaqaa funyaan koo keessa jirutti,
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
afaan koo hammina hin dubbatu; arrabni koos nama hin gowwoomsu.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.
Isin qajeeltota jechuu, Waaqni ana irraa haa fagaatu; ani hamman duʼutti amanamummaa koo hin dhiisu.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
Qajeelummaa koo jabeessee nan qabadha; gadis hin dhiisu; bara jireenya kootii guutuu qalbiin koo na hin komattu.
7 Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
“Diinni koo akka nama hamaa, mormituun koo akka nama jalʼaa haa taʼu!
8 For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Yommuu Waaqni lubbuu isaa isa irraa fudhatee isa balleessutti, namni Waaqaaf hin bulle abdii maalii qaba?
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Yeroo rakkinni isatti dhufutti, Waaqni iyya isaa ni dhagaʼaa?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
Inni Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼutti ni gammadaa? Yeroo hundas Waaqa waammataa?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
“Ani waaʼee harka Waaqaa isin nan barsiisa; waan Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu bira jirus isin hin dhoksu.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
Hundi keessan waan kana argitaniirtu; yoos haasaan faayidaa hin qabne kun maali?
13 This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
“Carraan Waaqni nama hamaaf qoode, dhaalli namni jalʼaan Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu irraa argatu kana:
14 If his children are multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Ijoolleen isaa akka malee baayʼatan iyyuu goraadeetu isaan eeggata; sanyiin isaas waan nyaatee quufu hin qabaatu.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Hambaa isaa dhaʼichatu awwaala; niitonni isaaniis hin booʼaniif.
16 Though he should heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay?
Inni meetii akkuma biyyootti tuullatee uffata immoo akkuma supheetti kuufatu illee,
17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
waan inni kuufate nama qajeelaatu uffata; meetii isaa illee nama balleessaa hin qabnetu qooddata.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
Manni inni ijaaru akkuma mana dholdholee ti; akkuma daasii eegduun ijaaruu ti.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
Inni utuma qabeenya qabuu dhaqee ciisa; garuu itti hin deebiʼu; yeroo inni ija banatutti, qabeenyi isaa hundi hin jiru.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Sodaan akkuma lolaa isa irra garagala; bubbeen hamaan immoo halkaniin isa fudhatee sokka.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Bubbeen baʼa biiftuu isa fudhata; innis hin argamu; bubbeen sunis lafa inni jiru irraa isa haxaaʼa.
22 For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Inni humna bubbee jalaa baʼuuf jedhee baqata; bubbeen sunis gara laafina tokko malee itti of darbata.
23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Harka isaa dhadhaʼee itti qoosa; afuufees iddoo isaatii isa balleessa.”
