Iyyoob 35
1 Eliihuunis itti fufee akkana jedhe:
And Elihu answers and says:
2 “Ati waan kana qajeelaa seetaa? Ati, ‘Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa dha’ jetta.
“Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
3 Ati, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa maalii naa qaba? Ani cubbuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan maalin argadha?’ jettee gaafatta.
For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
4 “Ani siʼii fi michoota kee kanneen si wajjin jiraniif deebii kennuu nan barbaada.
I return words, and your friends with you,
5 Ol jedhiitii samiiwwan ilaali; duumessoota siin ol jiranis argi.
Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
6 Ati yoo cubbuu hojjette maal isa miita? Cubbuun kees yoo baayʼate maal isa godha?
If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
7 Ati yoo qajeelaa taate, maal isaaf kennita? Yookaan inni harka kee irraa maal argata?
If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Hamminni kee nama akka keetii qofa miidha; qajeelummaan kees ilmaan namaa qofa fayyada.
For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
9 “Waan cunqursaan itti hammaatteef namoonni ni iyyu; irree humna qabeessaa jalaa baʼuufis gargaarsaaf wawwaatu.
Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
10 Garuu namni tokko iyyuu akkana hin jedhu; ‘Waaqni Uumaan koo, inni halkaniin faarfannaa namaa kennu,
And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
11 kan bineensota lafa irraa caalaa beektota, simbirroo samii caalaas ogeeyyii nu godhu eessa jira?’
Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
12 Inni sababii of tuulummaa jalʼootaatiif yommuu namoonni iyyanitti deebii hin kennu.
There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
13 Dhugumaan Waaqni iyya isaanii kan gatii hin qabne sana hin dhaggeeffatu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu iyya sanaaf gurra hin kennu.
Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
14 Yoo ati, ‘Dubbiin koo fuula isaa dura jira; ani isa eeggachaan jira; garuu isa arguu hin dandaʼu’ jette, inni hammam kanaa gad iyyuu xinneessee haa dhagaʼu ree!
Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
15 Amma illee sababii dheekkamsi isaa nama hin adabneef, sababii inni balleessaa namaa akka waan guddaa tokkootti hin fudhanneef,
And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
16 Iyyoob oduu faayidaa hin qabneen afaan bana; beekumsa malees dubbii baayʼisa.”
And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
