Iyyoob 34
1 Eliihuun akkana jedhe:
Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2 “Yaa ogeeyyii, dubbii koo dhagaʼaa; beektonnis na dhaggeeffadhaa.
Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear to me, ye that have knowledge.
3 Akkuma arrabni nyaata afaaniin qabu, gurris dubbii calalaatii.
For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth food.
4 Waan qajeelaa taʼe ofii keenyaaf haa filannu; waan gaariis tokkummaadhaan haa barannu.
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
5 “Iyyoob akkana jedha; ‘Ani qajeelaa dha; Waaqni garuu murtii qajeelaa narraa fudhate.
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
6 Ani utuman nama dhugaa taʼee jiruu, akka sobduuttin herregame; ani yakka qabaachuu baadhu illee xiyyi isaa madaa hin fayyineen na madeesseera.’
Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression.
7 Namni akka bishaaniitti tuffii dhugu, kan akka Iyyoob eenyu?
What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water?
8 Inni warra hammina hojjetu wajjin walii gala; jalʼoota wajjinis tokkummaa qabaata.
Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9 Inni, ‘Waaqa gammachiisuu yaaluun, namaaf faayidaa tokko iyyuu hin qabu’ jedhaatii.
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10 “Kanaafuu isin yaa hubattoota, na dhagaʼaa. Waan hamaa hojjechuun Waaqa irraa, dogoggoruunis Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu irraa haa fagaatu.
Therefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he should commit] iniquity.
11 Inni namaaf akkuma hojii isaatti gatii ni kenna; waan karaa isaatiif malus itti fida.
For the work of a man he shall render to him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways.
12 Dhugumaan Waaqni hammina hin hojjetu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu murtii qajeelaa hin jalʼisu.
Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Eenyutu lafa irratti isa muude? Eenyutus addunyaa guutuu isatti kenne?
Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
14 Utuu inni hafuura isaa deebisee fudhatee, hafuura baafatu illee gara ofii isaatti deebifatee,
If he should set his heart upon man, [if] he should gather to himself his spirit and his breath;
15 silaa sanyiin namaa hundi walumaan bada; namnis biyyootti deebiʼa ture.
All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 “Ati yoo hubannaa qabaatte waan kana dhagaʼi; waan ani jedhus dhaggeeffadhu.
If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17 Namni murtii qajeelaa jibbu bulchuu dandaʼaa? Atis isa qajeelaa fi humna qabeessa sanatti murtaa?
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18 Kan moototaan, ‘Isin faayidaa hin qabdan;’ jedhee qondaaltotaanis, ‘Isin hamoo dha’ jedhu isa mitii?
[Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly?
19 Inni ilmaan moototaatiif illee hin looguu; sooreyyii fi hiyyeeyyii wal hin caalchisu; hundi isaanii hojii harka isaatii.
[How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands.
20 Isaan halkan walakkaa tasa duʼu; namoonni hollatanii dhumu; jajjaboonnis utuma harki namaa isaan hin tuqin ni badu.
In a moment they shall die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 “Iji isaa karaa namootaa irra jira; inni tarkaanfii isaanii hunda ni arga.
For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22 Iddoon warri waan hamaa hojjetan itti dhokatan, dukkanni yookaan gaaddisni guddaan hin jiru.
[There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 Akka inni murtiidhaaf fuula isaa duratti dhiʼaatuuf, Waaqni nama kam iyyuu hin beellamu.
For he will not lay upon man more [than right]; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 Inni gaaffii tokko malee namoota jajjaboo ni burkuteessa; warra biraa immoo iddoo isaanii ni kaaʼa.
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Inni sababii hojii isaanii beekuuf, halkan keessa isaan garagalcha; isaanis ni barbadaaʼu.
Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 Sababii jalʼina isaaniitiifis inni iddoo namni hundi argutti isaan adaba;
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 kunis waan isaan isa duukaa buʼuu irraa garagalanii karaa isaa hunda dhiisaniif.
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28 Isaan akka inni iyya rakkattootaa dhagaʼuuf, akka iyyi hiyyeeyyii fuula isaa duratti dhagaʼamu godhaniiru.
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29 Yoo inni calʼise garuu, eenyutu isatti muruu dandaʼa? Yoo inni fuula isaa dhokfates eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa? Taʼus inni namaa fi saba illee ni toʼata;
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth [his] face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man only:
30 kunis akka namni Waaqaaf hin bulle mootii hin taanee fi akka isaan sabaaf kiyyoo hin keenyeefii dha.
That the hypocrite may not reign, lest the people should be ensnared.
31 “Namni tokko Waaqaan akkana jedha haa jennu; ‘Ani yakka hojjedheera; garuu itti hin deebiʼu.
Surely it is meet to be said to God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]:
32 Waan ani arguu hin dandeenye na barsiisi; ani yoon dogoggora hojjedhee jiraadhe, lammata itti hin deebiʼu.’
[That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Waaqni sababii ati qalbii jijjiirrachuu didduuf akkuma yaada keetiitti gatii siif baasaa? Situ murteessuu qaba malee ana miti; kanaafuu ati waan beektu natti himi.
[Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou shalt refuse, or whether thou shalt choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
34 “Namoonni hubannaa qaban ni dubbatu; namoonni ogeeyyiin na dhagaʼanis akkana jedhu;
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken to me.
35 ‘Iyyoob beekumsa malee dubbata; dubbiin isaas hubannaa cimaa hin qabu.’
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom.
36 Iyyoob sababii akka nama hamaatti deebii kenneef maaloo utuu hamma dhumaatti qoramee jiraatee!
My desire [is that] Job may be tried to the end, because of [his] answers for wicked men.
37 Inni cubbuu isaa irratti fincila dabala; tuffiidhaan gidduu keenyatti harka dhaʼa; Waaqa irrattis waan baayʼee dubbata.”
For he addeth rebellion to his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
