Iyyoob 27
1 Iyyoob haasaa isaa itti fufee akkana jedhe:
And Job continued his parable and said,
2 “Dhugaa Waaqa jiraataa murtii qajeelaa na dhowwate, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan lubbuu koo hadheesse sanaa,
[As] God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
3 hamma lubbuun na keessa jirtutti, hamma hafuurri Waaqaa funyaan koo keessa jirutti,
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4 afaan koo hammina hin dubbatu; arrabni koos nama hin gowwoomsu.
My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
5 Isin qajeeltota jechuu, Waaqni ana irraa haa fagaatu; ani hamman duʼutti amanamummaa koo hin dhiisu.
Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
6 Qajeelummaa koo jabeessee nan qabadha; gadis hin dhiisu; bara jireenya kootii guutuu qalbiin koo na hin komattu.
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.
7 “Diinni koo akka nama hamaa, mormituun koo akka nama jalʼaa haa taʼu!
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 Yommuu Waaqni lubbuu isaa isa irraa fudhatee isa balleessutti, namni Waaqaaf hin bulle abdii maalii qaba?
For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when God taketh away his soul?
9 Yeroo rakkinni isatti dhufutti, Waaqni iyya isaa ni dhagaʼaa?
Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
10 Inni Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼutti ni gammadaa? Yeroo hundas Waaqa waammataa?
Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon God?
11 “Ani waaʼee harka Waaqaa isin nan barsiisa; waan Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu bira jirus isin hin dhoksu.
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Hundi keessan waan kana argitaniirtu; yoos haasaan faayidaa hin qabne kun maali?
Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
13 “Carraan Waaqni nama hamaaf qoode, dhaalli namni jalʼaan Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu irraa argatu kana:
This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: —
14 Ijoolleen isaa akka malee baayʼatan iyyuu goraadeetu isaan eeggata; sanyiin isaas waan nyaatee quufu hin qabaatu.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;
15 Hambaa isaa dhaʼichatu awwaala; niitonni isaaniis hin booʼaniif.
Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
16 Inni meetii akkuma biyyootti tuullatee uffata immoo akkuma supheetti kuufatu illee,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 waan inni kuufate nama qajeelaatu uffata; meetii isaa illee nama balleessaa hin qabnetu qooddata.
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 Manni inni ijaaru akkuma mana dholdholee ti; akkuma daasii eegduun ijaaruu ti.
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
19 Inni utuma qabeenya qabuu dhaqee ciisa; garuu itti hin deebiʼu; yeroo inni ija banatutti, qabeenyi isaa hundi hin jiru.
He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Sodaan akkuma lolaa isa irra garagala; bubbeen hamaan immoo halkaniin isa fudhatee sokka.
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
21 Bubbeen baʼa biiftuu isa fudhata; innis hin argamu; bubbeen sunis lafa inni jiru irraa isa haxaaʼa.
The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
22 Inni humna bubbee jalaa baʼuuf jedhee baqata; bubbeen sunis gara laafina tokko malee itti of darbata.
And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Harka isaa dhadhaʼee itti qoosa; afuufees iddoo isaatii isa balleessa.”
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
