Iyyoob 35
1 Eliihuunis itti fufee akkana jedhe:
Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:
2 “Ati waan kana qajeelaa seetaa? Ati, ‘Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa dha’ jetta.
Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, “I am more righteous than God.”
3 Ati, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa maalii naa qaba? Ani cubbuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan maalin argadha?’ jettee gaafatta.
For thou askest, “What advantage have I? What have I gained, more than if I had sinned?”
4 “Ani siʼii fi michoota kee kanneen si wajjin jiraniif deebii kennuu nan barbaada.
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
5 Ol jedhiitii samiiwwan ilaali; duumessoota siin ol jiranis argi.
Look up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!
6 Ati yoo cubbuu hojjette maal isa miita? Cubbuun kees yoo baayʼate maal isa godha?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou to him?
7 Ati yoo qajeelaa taate, maal isaaf kennita? Yookaan inni harka kee irraa maal argata?
If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at thy hand?
8 Hamminni kee nama akka keetii qofa miidha; qajeelummaan kees ilmaan namaa qofa fayyada.
Thy wickedness injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.
9 “Waan cunqursaan itti hammaatteef namoonni ni iyyu; irree humna qabeessaa jalaa baʼuufis gargaarsaaf wawwaatu.
The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account of the arm of the mighty.
10 Garuu namni tokko iyyuu akkana hin jedhu; ‘Waaqni Uumaan koo, inni halkaniin faarfannaa namaa kennu,
But none saith, “Where is God, my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
11 kan bineensota lafa irraa caalaa beektota, simbirroo samii caalaas ogeeyyii nu godhu eessa jira?’
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of heaven?”
12 Inni sababii of tuulummaa jalʼootaatiif yommuu namoonni iyyanitti deebii hin kennu.
There they cry aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.
13 Dhugumaan Waaqni iyya isaanii kan gatii hin qabne sana hin dhaggeeffatu; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu iyya sanaaf gurra hin kennu.
For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor will the Almighty regard 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!
Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him, —only wait thou for him!
15 Amma illee sababii dheekkamsi isaa nama hin adabneef, sababii inni balleessaa namaa akka waan guddaa tokkootti hin fudhanneef,
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,
16 Iyyoob oduu faayidaa hin qabneen afaan bana; beekumsa malees dubbii baayʼisa.”
Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
