Iyyoob 16
1 Iyyoobis akkana jedhee deebise:
Then Job, answering, said:
2 “Ani waan akkanaa baayʼee dhagaʼeera; hundi keessan jajjabeessitoota nama dhiphistanii dha!
I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
3 Haasaan faayidaa hin qabne kun hin dhumuu? Wanni akka ati oduu dheeressituuf si tuttuqu maali?
Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?
4 Utuu isin iddoo koo jiraattanii silaa ani akkuma keessan kana nan dubbadha ture; dubbii miʼooftuu dubbachuudhaanis mataa koo isinitti nan raasan ture.
I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul. I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
5 Ani afaan kootiin isin jajjabeessee gorsi arraba kootiis qabbana isinii kenna ture.
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
6 “Yoo ani dubbadhe dhukkubni koo natti hin wayyaaʼu; cal jedhus na hin dhiisu.
But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
7 Yaa Waaqi, ati dhugumaan na dadhabsiifteerta; warra mana koo jiru hundas balleessiteerta.
But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
8 Ati na kokotteessite; kunis ragaa natti taʼe; akka malee huqqachuun koos ifatti baʼee na saaxile.
My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
9 Waaqni dheekkamsa isaatiin rukutee na ciccire; ilkaan isaa natti qarate; diinni koo ija isaa natti babaase.
He has gathered together his fury towards me, and, threatening me, he has roared against me with his teeth; my enemy has beheld me with terrible eyes.
10 Namoonni natti qoosuuf afaan banatan; tuffiidhaan maddii koo kabalan; tokko taʼanii natti kaʼan.
They have opened their mouths against me, and, reproaching me, they have struck me on the cheek; they are nourished by my sufferings.
11 Waaqnis dabarsee hamootatti na kenne; harka jalʼootaa keessas na buuse.
God has confined me with the immoral, and he has delivered me into the hands of the impious.
12 Ani nagaan jiraachaan ture; inni garuu na burkuteesse; morma na qabee na caccabse. Xiyyeeffannaa isaas na godhate;
I, who once was wealthy, am now crushed. He has grabbed me by my neck; he has broken me and has placed me before him as a sign.
13 loltoonni isaa warri xiyyaan lolan na marsu. Inni gara laafina malee kalee koo waraanee hadhooftuu koo illee lafatti gad jigse.
He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.
14 Inni ammumaa amma na caccabsa; akkuma loltuu tokkootti natti fiiga.
He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.
15 “Ani gogaa kootti uffata gaddaa hodhadheera; gaanfa koos biyyoo keessatti awwaaleera.
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.
16 Fuulli koo booʼichaan diimateera; dukkanni limixiinis ija koo irra buʼeera.
My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
17 Taʼus harki koo yakka tokko illee hin hojjenne; kadhannaan koos qulqulluu dha.
These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
18 “Yaa lafa, ati dhiiga koo hin dhoksin; akka iyyi koo iddoo boqonnaa argatus hin godhin!
O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
19 Amma iyyuu dhuga baʼaan koo samii irra jira; abukaattoon koos ol gubbaa jira.
For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.
20 Michoonni koo na tuffatu; iji koos imimmaan gara Waaqaatti facaasa;
My friends are full of words; my eye rains tears upon God.
21 akkuma namni michuu isaatiif kadhatu sana utuu namni Waaqa kadhatu namaaf jiraatee!
And I wish that a man might be so judged before God, just as the son of man is judged with his assistant!
22 “Waggoota xinnoo booddee, ani gara deemanii deebiʼuun hin jirre nan deema.
For behold, a few years pass by, and I am walking a path by which I will not return.
