Iyyoob 32
1 Sababii Iyyoob nama qajeelaa of seʼeef namoonni sadan kunneen deebii kennuufii dhiisan.
But these three men ceased to answer Job, because he considered himself justified.
2 Eliihuun ilmi Barakeel Buuzichi maatiin Raamii sun garuu sababii Iyyoob qooda Waaqaa qajeelaa of godheef akka malee itti aare.
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and indignant. But he was angry against Job because he described himself to be just in the presence of God.
3 Akkasumas sababii isaan Iyyoobitti muruu malee deebii hin qabaatiniif Eeliihuun michoota Iyyoob sadanitti akka malee aare.
Moreover, he was indignant with his friends because they had not found a reasonable response, except in so far as they condemned Job.
4 Eliihuun waan namoonni sun umuriidhaan isa caalaniif utuu dursee Iyyoobitti hin dubbatin ture.
Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking.
5 Garuu yeroo akka namoonni sun sadan waan dubbatan dhaban argetti aariin isaa ittuma caale.
But when he saw that these three were not able to respond, he was extremely angry.
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 so Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite responded by saying: I am younger in years, and you are more ancient; therefore, I kept my head low, for I was afraid to reveal to you my opinion.
7 Ani, ‘Umuriin ni dubbata; barri dheeraanis ogummaa barsiisa’ jedhee yaadeen ture.
For I had hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 Garuu hafuura nama keessa jiru, hafuura Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu itti baafatutu hubannaa kennaaf.
But I see now that there is only breath in men, and that it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding.
9 Ogeessi jaarsa qofa miti; kan waan qajeelaa hubatus, nama umurii dheeraa qofa miti.
The wise are not the aged, nor do the elders understand judgment.
10 “Kanaafuu ani akkana nan jedhaa na dhaggeeffadhaa; anis waanan beeku isinitti nan hima.
Therefore, I will speak. Listen to me, and so I will show you my wisdom.
11 Ani yeroo isin dubbattan nan obse; yeroo isin jechoota filattanitti illee ani dubbii ogummaa kan isin dubbattan nan dhaggeeffadhe;
For I have endured your words; I have paid attention to your deliberations, while you were being argumentative 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 as long as I supposed that you were saying something, I considered; but now I see that there is none of you that is able to argue with Job and to respond to his words.
13 Isin, ‘Nu ogummaa arganneerra; nama utuu hin taʼin, Waaqni isa irra haa aanu’ hin jedhinaa.
So that you will not say, “We have found wisdom,” God has thrown him down, not man.
14 Iyyoob garuu dubbii isaatiin na hin tuqne; anis falmii keessaniin deebii isaaf hin kennu.
He has said nothing to me, and I will not respond to him according to your words.
15 “Isaan abdii kutatanii waan jedhan dhaban; dubbiinis isaan harkaa badde.
Then they were filled with dread, and so they no longer responded, and they withdrew from their speechmaking.
16 Erga isaan calʼisanii, erga isaan deebii kennan tokko illee dhabanii achi dhadhaabatanii, ani eeguun qabaa?
Therefore, because I have waited and they have not been speaking, for they stood firm and did not respond at all,
17 Ani deebii koo nan kenna; waanan beeku nan hima.
I also will answer in my turn, and I will reveal my knowledge.
18 Dubbiin na keessa guuteeraatii; hafuurri na keessa jirus na kakaasa;
For I am full of words, and the feeling in my gut inspires me.
19 garaan koo akkuma daadhii wayinii kan qadaadamee, akkuma qalqalloo daadhii wayinii haaraa dhoʼuun gaʼeetii.
Yes, my stomach is like fermenting wine without a vent, which bursts the new containers.
20 Ani dubbadhee qabbaneeffachuun qaba; afaan koo banadhees deebii kennuun qaba.
I should speak, but I will also breathe a little; I will open my lips, and I will answer.
21 Ani nama wal hin caalchisu; yookaan nama tokko iyyuu hin saadu.
I will not esteem the reputation of a man, and I will not equate God with man.
22 Utuu ani nama saaduu beekee, Uumaan koo silaa dafee lafa irraa na balleessa ture.
For I do not know how long I will continue, and whether, after a while, my Maker might take me away.
