Iyyoob 36
1 Eliihuun ittuma fufee akkana jedhe:
And Elihu went on to say,
2 “Ani akka qooda Waaqaa wanni jedhamu hedduun jiru sitti nan argisiisaatii mee xinnoo naa obsi.
Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.
3 Ani beekumsa koo fagoodhaa nan fida; qajeelummaa Uumaa kootiis nan labsa.
I will get my knowledge from far, and I will give righteousness to my Maker.
4 Akka dubbiin koo soba hin taʼin mirkaneeffadhu; kan beekumsaan hirʼina hin qabne tokko si wajjin jira.
For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.
5 “Waaqni jabaa dha; garuu eenyun iyyuu hin tuffatu; inni jabaa dha; kaayyoo isaattis cimee dhaabata.
Truly, God gives up the hard-hearted, and will not give life to the sinner.
6 Inni hamoota hin jiraachisu; warra rakkataniif garuu murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
His eyes are ever on the upright, and he gives to the crushed their right;
7 Ija isaa qajeeltota irraa hin buqqifatu; mootota wajjin teessoo irra isaan teessisa; bara baraanis ol isaan guddisa.
Lifting them up to the seat of kings, and making them safe for ever.
8 Garuu yoo namoonni foncaadhaan hidhaman, yoo funyoo rakkinaatiinis hidhaman,
And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,
9 inni hojii isaanii, daba isaan of tuulummaan hojjetanis isaanitti ni hima.
Then he makes clear to them what they have done, even their evil works in which they have taken pride.
10 Inni gurra isaanii sirreeffama dhaggeeffachuuf ni bana; akka isaan waan hamaa irraa qalbii jijjiirratanis ni ajaja.
Their ear is open to his teaching, and he gives them orders so that their hearts may be turned from evil.
11 Isaan yoo ajajamanii isa tajaajilan, bara jireenya isaanii badhaadhummaan, umurii isaaniis gammachuudhaan fixatu.
If they give ear to his voice, and do his word, then he gives them long life, and years full of pleasure.
12 Yoo ajajamuu baatan garuu, goraadeedhaan badu; beekumsa malees ni duʼu.
But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.
13 “Warri garaan isaanii Waaqa irraa fagaate, aarii of keessatti kuufatu; yommuu inni foncaan isaan hidhutti illee gargaarsa barbaachaaf hin iyyan.
Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.
14 Isaan dargaggummaa isaanii keessa duʼu; jireenyi isaaniis xuraaʼota gidduutti bada.
They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.
15 Inni garuu warra dhiphatan dhiphina isaanii keessaa baasa; rakkoo isaanii keessattis isaanitti dubbata.
He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.
16 “Inni dhiphina keessaa si baasee gara lafa balʼaa dhiphina hin qabneetti, maaddii coomaan guutametti si geessa.
17 Amma garuu murtiin hamootaaf malu sirra tuulameera; murtii fi haqni si qabataniiru.
18 Akka badhaadhummaan si hin gowwoomsine of eeggadhu; akka baayʼinni mattaʼaas karaa irraa si jalʼisu hin godhin.
19 Badhaadhummaan kee yookaan tattaaffiin kee guddaan sun hundi rakkoo irraa si eeguu dandaʼaa?
20 Halkan itti namoonni mana isaaniitii buqqifaman hin hawwin.
21 Ati akka hamminatti hin deebine of eeggadhu; qooda rakkinaa waan kana filatteertaatii.
Take care not to be turned to sin, for you have taken evil for your part in place of sorrow.
22 “Kunoo Waaqni humna isaatiin ol ol jedheera; barsiisaan akka isaa eenyu?
Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?
23 Namni karaa isatti himu, yookaan kan, ‘Ati dogoggorteerta’ isaan jedhu eenyu?
Who ever gave orders to him, or said to him, You have done wrong?
24 Hojii isaa kan namoonni faarfannaadhaan jajan sana, leellisuu hin dagatin.
See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.
25 Namni hundinuu argeera; tokkoon tokkoon namaas fagootti xiyyeeffatee ilaala.
All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.
26 Dhugumaan Waaqni guddaa dha; nus isa hin beeknu; baayʼina bara isaas namni beekuu hin dandaʼu.
Truly, God is great, greater than all our knowledge; the number of his years may not be searched out.
27 “Inni copha bishaanii ol baasa; hurrii isaas walitti qabee bokkaatti geeddara.
For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,
28 Duumessis jiidha isaa gad coccobsa; bokkaan guddaanis namatti rooba.
Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.
29 Eenyutu akka inni itti duumessoota diriirsu, akka inni itti dunkaana isaa keessaa qaqawweessaʼus hubachuu dandaʼa?
And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?
30 Akka inni itti bakakkaa naannoo isaatti bittinneessu, akka inni itti tuujuba galaanaa illee haguugu ilaali.
See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.
31 Kun haala inni ittiin saboota bulchuu fi nyaata baayʼinaan isaaniif kennuu dha.
For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.
32 Inni harka isaa bakakkaadhaan ni guuta; akka bakakkaan sun iddoo akeeka isaa dhaʼus ni ajaja.
He takes the light in his hands, sending it against the mark.
33 Kakawween isaa akka bakakkaan dhufu labsa; looni iyyuu akka inni dhiʼaate beeksisu.
The thunder makes clear his passion, and the storm gives news of his wrath.
