< Job 21 >

1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide,
Iyyoob akkana jedhee deebise:
2 Y preye, here ye my wordis, and do ye penaunce.
“Dubbii koo qalbeeffadhaa dhaggeeffadhaa; kun waan isin ittiin na jajjabeessitan haa taʼu.
3 Suffre ye me, that Y speke; and leiye ye aftir my wordis, if it schal seme worthi.
Yeroo ani dubbadhu naa obsaa; erga ani dubbadhee booddee isin natti qoosuu dandeessu.
4 Whether my disputyng is ayens man, that skilfuli Y owe not to be sori?
“Dhugumaan kan ani komadhu namaa? Ani maaliif obsa hin dhabne ree?
5 Perseyue ye me, and be ye astonyed; and sette ye fyngur on youre mouth.
Na ilaalaatii dinqisiifadhaa; harka keessanis afaan keessan irra kaaʼadhaa.
6 And whanne Y bithenke, Y drede, and tremblyng schakith my fleisch.
Ani yommuu waan kana yaadu nan sodaadha; hollannaanis na qabata.
7 Whi therfor lyuen wickid men? Thei ben enhaunsid, and coumfortid with richessis.
Hamoonni maaliif itti fufanii lubbuun jiraatu? Maaliif dulloomanii humnas argachaa deemu?
8 Her seed dwellith bifor hem; the cumpeny of kynesmen, and of sones of sones dwellith in her siyt.
Ijoolleen isaanii naannoo isaaniitti, sanyiin isaaniis fuula isaanii duratti jabaatanii dhaabatu.
9 Her housis ben sikur, and pesible; and the yerde of God is not on hem.
Manni isaanii nagaa dha; waan sodaatu illee hin qabu; uleen Waaqaas isaan hin tuqxu.
10 The cow of hem conseyuede, and caluede not a deed calf; the cow caluyde, and is not priued of hir calf.
Kormi isaanii dhalchuu hin dadhabu; saawwan isaanii ni dhalu; hin gatatanis.
11 Her litle children goen out as flockis; and her yonge children `maken fulli ioye with pleies.
Isaan ijoollee isaanii akkuma bushaayeetti bobbaasu; daaʼimman isaanii immoo ni burraaqu.
12 Thei holden tympan, and harpe; and ioien at the soun of orgun.
Dibbee fi kiraaraan sirbu; sagalee ululleetiinis ni gammadu.
13 Thei leden in goodis her daies; and in a point thei goen doun to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
Isaan bara isaanii badhaadhummaadhaan fixatu; nagaadhaanis ni awwaalamu. (Sheol h7585)
14 Whiche men seiden to God, Go thou awei fro us; we nylen the kunnyng of thi weies.
Taʼu illee isaan Waaqaan akkana jedhu; ‘Nu dhiisi! Nu karaa kee beekuuf fedhii hin qabnu.
15 Who is Almiyti God, that we serue him? and what profitith it to vs, if we preien him?
Akka nu isa tajaajilluuf Waaqni waan Hunda Dandaʼu eenyu? Nu isa kadhannee maal arganna?’
16 Netheles for her goodis ben not in her hond, `that is, power, the counsel of wickid men be fer fro me.
Badhaadhummaan isaanii garuu isaan harka hin jiru; kanaafuu ani gorsa hamootaa irraa nan fagaadha.
17 Hou ofte schal the lanterne of wickid men be quenchid, and flowing schal come on hem, and God schal departe the sorewis of his stronge veniaunce?
“Garuu ibsaan hamootaa yoom iyyuu ni dhaamaa? Balaan yoom iyyuu isaanitti dhufaa? Waaqnis dheekkamsa isaatiin badiisa isaanitti fidaa?
18 Thei schulen be as chaffis bifor the face of the wynd; and as a deed sparcle, whiche the whirlewynd scaterith abrood.
Isaan akkuma cidii fuula qilleensaa duraa ti; akkuma habaqii bubbeen hamaan fudhatee deemuu ti.
19 God schal kepe the sorewe of the fadir to hise sones; and whanne he hath yoldun, thanne he schal wite.
Isin, ‘Waaqni balleessaa nama tokkoo ilmaan isaatiif kuusa’ jettu. Akka inni waan kana beekuuf Waaqni namichuma mataa isaatiif gatii isaa haa kennu!
20 Hise iyen schulen se her sleyng; and he schal drynke of the stronge veniaunce of Almyyti God.
Iji isaa badiisa isaa haa argu; inni xoofoo dheekkamsa Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu haa dhugu.
21 For whi what perteyneth it to hym of his hows aftir hym, thouy the noumbre of his monethis be half takun awey?
Inni yeroo jiʼi isaaf qoodame dhumutti, waaʼee maatii isaa kan dhiisee biraa deemu sanaa dhimma maalii qabaata?
22 Whether ony man schal teche God kunnyng, which demeth hem that ben hiye?
“Namni tokko iyyuu Waaqa beekumsa barsiisuu dandaʼaa? Waaqni ol aantotatti iyyuu ni muraatii.
23 This yuel man dieth strong and hool, riche and blesful, `that is, myrie.
Namni tokko utuma itti tolee nagaan jiraatuu, utuma humna guutuu qabuu,
24 Hise entrails ben ful of fatnesse; and hise boonys ben moistid with merowis.
utuma dhagni isaa gabbatee jiruu, utuma lafeen isaa dhukaan guutamee jiruu ni duʼa.
25 Sotheli anothir wickid man dieth in the bittirnesse of his soule, and with outen ony richessis.
Namni biraa immoo utuu gammachuu tokko illee hin argin, jireenya hadhaaʼaa jiraachaa duʼa.
26 And netheles thei schulen slepe togidere in dust, and wormes schulen hile hem.
Isaan biyyoo keessa wal bira ciciisu; lachan isaaniittuu raammoon ni tuutaʼa.
27 Certis Y knowe youre wickid thouytis, and sentensis ayens me.
“Ani yaada keessanii fi mala isin ittiin na miidhuu barbaaddan nan beeka.
28 For ye seien, Where is the hows of the prince? and where ben the tabernaclis of wickid men?
Isin, ‘Manni namicha guddaa, dunkaanni namoonni hamoon keessa jiraatan amma eessa jira?’ jettu.
29 Axe ye ech of `the weie goeris; and ye schulen knowe, that he vndurstondith these same thingis,
Isin namoota karaa deeman hin gaafannee? Waan isaan jedhanis hin qalbeeffannee?
30 that an yuel man schal be kept in to the dai of perdicioun, and schal be led to the dai of woodnesse.
Akka namni hamaan guyyaa balaa oolfamu, akka inni guyyaa dheekkamsaa illee baraaramu hin qalbeeffannee?
31 Who schal repreue hise weies bifor hym? and who schal yelde to hym tho thingis, whiche he hath doon?
Namni fuuluma isaa dura dhaabatee hojii isaa itti himu eenyu? Namni gatii waan inni hojjetee baasuuf eenyu?
32 He schal be led to the sepulcris; and he schal wake in the heep of deed men.
Inni gara awwaalaatti geeffama; awwaalli isaas ni eegama.
33 He was swete to the `stoonys, ether filthis, of helle; and drawith ech man aftir hym, and vnnoumbrable men bifor him.
Biyyoon sulula keessaa isatti miʼaawa; namoonni hundi isa duukaa buʼu; namoonni akka malee baayʼeenis fuula isaa dura deemu.
34 Hou therfor coumforten ye me in veyn, sithen youre answeris ben schewid to `repugne to treuthe?
“Yoos isin akkamiin waan faayidaa hin qabneen na jajjabeessuu dandeessu ree? Deebiin keessanis soba qofa!”
