Iyyoob 24
1 “Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun maaliif yeroo murtii hin murteessine? Warri isa beekan maaliif akkasumaan guyyoota isaa hin argine?
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
2 Namoonni dhagaa daarii ni dhiibu; bushaayee hataniis ni bobbaasu.
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
3 Isaan harree ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee ooffatanii deemu; sangaa haadha hiyyeessaa qabdii fudhatu.
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
4 Rakkataa karaa irraa balleessu; hiyyeeyyiin biyyaa hundis isaan jalaa dhokatu.
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Hiyyeeyyiin akkuma harree diidaa kan gammoojjii keessaa nyaata barbaacha asii fi achi jooru; gammoojjii sana keessaas ijoollee isaaniitiif nyaata kenna.
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
6 Isaan dirree irratti okaa walitti qabatu; iddoo dhaabaa wayinii nama hamaa irraas qarmii funaannatu.
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
7 Uffata dhabanii halkan qullaa bulu; waan dhaamocha keessatti uffatan tokko illee hin qaban.
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
8 Isaan bokkaa tulluutiin tortoraniiru; waan itti daʼatan illee dhabanii kattaa hammatu.
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
9 Mucaan abbaa hin qabne harma irraa butameera; daaʼimni hiyyeessaa qabdii kennameera.
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
10 Isaan uffata dhabanii qullaa deemu; bissii baatu; garuu ni beelaʼu.
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
11 Isaan dhagaa gidduutti zayitii ejersaa baasu; wayinii cuunfu; garuu ni dheebotu.
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
12 Aaduun warra duʼuutti jiranii magaalaa keessaa ni dhagaʼama; lubbuun warra madaaʼaniis gargaarsa barbaacha iyyiti. Waaqni garuu balleessaa tokko iyyuu isaanitti hin lakkaaʼu.
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
13 “Warri ifatti fincilan kanneen daandii isaa hin beekne yookaan daandii ifaa irra hin jiraanne jiru.
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
14 Yommuu aduun dhiitu, namni nama ajjeesu ni kaʼa; innis hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota ni ajjeesa; halkan immoo akkuma hattuu taʼa.
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
15 Iji ejjaan dimimmisa eeggata; innis, ‘Iji na argu hin jirtu’ jedha; fuula isaas ni dhokfata.
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
16 Namoonni dukkana keessa mana cabsanii seenu; guyyaa garuu ofitti cufanii oolu; isaan ifa hin beekan.
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
17 Hunda isaaniitiif, dukkanni guddaan barii isaanii ti; isaan sodaa dukkana guddaatti michoomu.
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
18 “Taʼus isaan hoomacha bishaan gubbaa ti; akka namni tokko iyyuu gara iddoo dhaabaa wayinii hin dhaqneef, qoodni lafa isaanii abaarameera.
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
19 Akkuma hoʼii fi hoongeen cabbii baqee xuuxee fixu, awwaalli namoota cubbuu hojjetan ni butata. (Sheol h7585)
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
20 Gadameessi isaan irraanfata; raammoonnis itti duuddee isaan nyaatti; namoonni hamoon akkuma mukaa ni caccabu; siʼachis hin yaadataman.
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
21 Isaan dubartii dhabduu ni saamu; haadha hiyyeessaatiif illee garaa hin laafan.
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
22 Waaqni garuu humna isaatiin jajjaboota alatti harkisa; isaan ol kaʼu; garuu wabii jireenyaa hin qaban.
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
23 Inni akka isaan waan nagaan jiraatan seʼaniif ittuma dhiisuu dandaʼa; iji isaa garuu karaa isaanii ni toʼata.
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 Isaan yeroo xinnoof mataa ol qabatu; ergasii immoo ni badu; gad deebifamaniis akkuma warra kaanii walitti qabamu; akkuma mataa midhaaniis ni muramu.
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
25 “Yoo kun akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu sobduu na godhee dubbii koo busheessa?”
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
