Iyyoob 32
1 Sababii Iyyoob nama qajeelaa of seʼeef namoonni sadan kunneen deebii kennuufii dhiisan.
And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
2 Eliihuun ilmi Barakeel Buuzichi maatiin Raamii sun garuu sababii Iyyoob qooda Waaqaa qajeelaa of godheef akka malee itti aare.
Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
3 Akkasumas sababii isaan Iyyoobitti muruu malee deebii hin qabaatiniif Eeliihuun michoota Iyyoob sadanitti akka malee aare.
And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
4 Eliihuun waan namoonni sun umuriidhaan isa caalaniif utuu dursee Iyyoobitti hin dubbatin ture.
But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
5 Garuu yeroo akka namoonni sun sadan waan dubbatan dhaban argetti aariin isaa ittuma caale.
And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
6 Kanaafuu Eliihuun ilmi Barakeel Buuzichaa sun akkana jedhe: “Ani umuriidhaan xinnaa dha; isin garuu jaarsolii dha; kanaafuu ani yaada koo isinitti himuu nan saalfadhe; nan sodaadhes.
And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and you are elder, therefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
7 Ani, ‘Umuriin ni dubbata; barri dheeraanis ogummaa barsiisa’ jedhee yaadeen ture.
And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
8 Garuu hafuura nama keessa jiru, hafuura Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu itti baafatutu hubannaa kennaaf.
but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
9 Ogeessi jaarsa qofa miti; kan waan qajeelaa hubatus, nama umurii dheeraa qofa miti.
The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgement.
10 “Kanaafuu ani akkana nan jedhaa na dhaggeeffadhaa; anis waanan beeku isinitti nan hima.
Therefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
11 Ani yeroo isin dubbattan nan obse; yeroo isin jechoota filattanitti illee ani dubbii ogummaa kan isin dubbattan nan dhaggeeffadhe;
Listen to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you shall have tried [the matter] with words:
12 ani qalbeeffadheen isin dhagaʼe. Garuu isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu akka inni dogoggore Iyyoobin hin amansiifne; namni tokko iyyuu falmii isaatiif deebii hin kennine.
and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
13 Isin, ‘Nu ogummaa arganneerra; nama utuu hin taʼin, Waaqni isa irra haa aanu’ hin jedhinaa.
lest you should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
14 Iyyoob garuu dubbii isaatiin na hin tuqne; anis falmii keessaniin deebii isaaf hin kennu.
And you have commissioned a man to speak such words.
15 “Isaan abdii kutatanii waan jedhan dhaban; dubbiinis isaan harkaa badde.
They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
16 Erga isaan calʼisanii, erga isaan deebii kennan tokko illee dhabanii achi dhadhaabatanii, ani eeguun qabaa?
I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
17 Ani deebii koo nan kenna; waanan beeku nan hima.
And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
18 Dubbiin na keessa guuteeraatii; hafuurri na keessa jirus na kakaasa;
for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
19 garaan koo akkuma daadhii wayinii kan qadaadamee, akkuma qalqalloo daadhii wayinii haaraa dhoʼuun gaʼeetii.
And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
20 Ani dubbadhee qabbaneeffachuun qaba; afaan koo banadhees deebii kennuun qaba.
I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
21 Ani nama wal hin caalchisu; yookaan nama tokko iyyuu hin saadu.
For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
22 Utuu ani nama saaduu beekee, Uumaan koo silaa dafee lafa irraa na balleessa ture.
For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
