Job 35
1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
Eliihuunis itti fufee akkana jedhe:
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
“Ati waan kana qajeelaa seetaa? Ati, ‘Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa dha’ jetta.
3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
Ati, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa maalii naa qaba? Ani cubbuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan maalin argadha?’ jettee gaafatta.
4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
“Ani siʼii fi michoota kee kanneen si wajjin jiraniif deebii kennuu nan barbaada.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
Ol jedhiitii samiiwwan ilaali; duumessoota siin ol jiranis argi.
6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
Ati yoo cubbuu hojjette maal isa miita? Cubbuun kees yoo baayʼate maal isa godha?
7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Ati yoo qajeelaa taate, maal isaaf kennita? Yookaan inni harka kee irraa maal argata?
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Hamminni kee nama akka keetii qofa miidha; qajeelummaan kees ilmaan namaa qofa fayyada.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
“Waan cunqursaan itti hammaatteef namoonni ni iyyu; irree humna qabeessaa jalaa baʼuufis gargaarsaaf wawwaatu.
10 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Garuu namni tokko iyyuu akkana hin jedhu; ‘Waaqni Uumaan koo, inni halkaniin faarfannaa namaa kennu,
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
kan bineensota lafa irraa caalaa beektota, simbirroo samii caalaas ogeeyyii nu godhu eessa jira?’
12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Inni sababii of tuulummaa jalʼootaatiif yommuu namoonni iyyanitti deebii hin kennu.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Dhugumaan Waaqni iyya isaanii kan gatii hin qabne sana hin dhaggeeffatu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu iyya sanaaf gurra hin kennu.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
Yoo ati, ‘Dubbiin koo fuula isaa dura jira; ani isa eeggachaan jira; garuu isa arguu hin dandaʼu’ jette, inni hammam kanaa gad iyyuu xinneessee haa dhagaʼu ree!
15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Amma illee sababii dheekkamsi isaa nama hin adabneef, sababii inni balleessaa namaa akka waan guddaa tokkootti hin fudhanneef,
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Iyyoob oduu faayidaa hin qabneen afaan bana; beekumsa malees dubbii baayʼisa.”
