Iyyoob 38
1 Kana irratti Waaqayyo bubbee jabaa keessaa Iyyoobitti dubbate. Akkana jedhes:
Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
2 “Namni dubbii beekumsa malee dubbatamuun karoora koo dukkanneessu kun eenyu?
Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by wordes without knowledge?
3 Mee akka gootaa mudhii kee hidhadhu; ani sin gaafadha; ati immoo deebii naa kenni.
Girde vp nowe thy loynes like a man: I will demande of thee and declare thou vnto me.
4 “Yeroo ani hundee lafaa kaaʼetti ati eessa turte? Yoo hubatte mee natti himi.
Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding,
5 Eenyutu balʼina ishee murteesse? Dhugumaan ni beektaa? Eenyutu ulee safaraa ishee irra harkise?
Who hath layde the measures thereof, if thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line ouer it:
6 Hundeen ishee maal irra dhaabame? Yookaan eenyutu dhagaa golee ishee dhaabe?
Whereupon are the foundations thereof set: or who layed the corner stone thereof:
7 Kunis yeroo bakkalchoonni barii walii wajjin faarfatanitti, yeroo ilmaan Waaqayyoos ililchanitti ture.
When the starres of the morning praysed me together, and all the children of God reioyced:
8 “Yeroo galaanni cabsee garaa lafaa keessaa baʼetti eenyutu balbala itti cufee ittise?
Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe:
9 Yeroo ani duumessoota uffata isaa godhee dukkana guddaan maretti,
When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:
10 yeroo ani daangaa isaa dhaabee balbalaa fi danqaraa hojjedheefitti,
When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,
11 anis, ‘Ati hamma asiitti dhufta; garuu darbuu hin dandeessu; dambaliin of jajuu keetii illee asumatti dhaabata!’ jedheen.
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.
12 “Ati bara jireenya keetii barraaqa ajajjee yookaan barii obborootti iddoo isaa argisiiftee beektaa?
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy dayes? hast thou caused the morning to knowe his place,
13 Akka inni handaara lafaa qabatee namoota hamoo achi keessaa hurgufu gooteertaa?
That it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 Lafti akka suphee chaappaa jala jiruutti bifa geeddaratti; bifti ishees akka bifa uffataatti mulʼata.
It is turned as clay to facion, and all stand vp as a garment.
15 Hamoonni ifa isaanii dhowwatamaniiru; irreen isaanii inni ol kaʼes cabeera.
And from the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the hie arme shalbe broken.
16 “Ati gara burqaa galaanaa gad buutee yookaan tuujuba bishaanii seentee hundee isaa irra deemtee beektaa?
Hast thou entred into the bottomes of the sea? or hast thou walked to seeke out the depth?
17 Karri duʼaa sitti mulʼifameeraa? Karra gaaddidduu duʼaas argiteertaa?
Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the gates of the shadowe of death?
18 Balʼina lafaa guddaa sana hubatteertaa? Yoo kana hunda beekte dubbadhu.
Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? tell if thou knowest all this.
19 “Karaan iddoo ifni jirutti nama geessu kami? Dukkannis eessa jiraata?
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and where is the place of darkenesse,
20 Iddoo isaaniitti isaan geessuu dandeessaa? Daandii lafa jireenya isaaniitti geessu beektaa?
That thou shouldest receiue it in the boundes thereof, and that thou shouldest knowe the paths to the house thereof?
21 Ati dhugumaan ni beekta; yeroo sana dhalatteertaatii! Ati bara hedduu jiraatteerta!
Knewest thou it, because thou wast then borne, and because the nomber of thy dayes is great?
22 “Mankuusa cabbii seentee yookaan mankuusa dhagaa cabbii argiteertaa?
Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seene the treasures of ye haile,
23 Kan ani yeroo rakkinaatiif, guyyaa waraanaa fi lolaatiif ol kaaʼadhe argiteertaa?
Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?
24 Karaan iddoo ifni itti bittinnaaʼutti yookaan gara iddoo bubbeen baʼaa itti lafa irra faffacaʼuutti nama geessu kami?

27 lafa namni keessa hin jiraannee fi lafa onaa quubsee margas itti biqilchu eenyu?
To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth?

29 Cabbiin garaa eenyuutii baʼa? Qorra samii eenyutu dhala?
Out of whose wombe came the yee? who hath ingendred the frost of the heauen?
30 Bishaanonni akka dhagaa jabaatu, fuulli tuujubaas akka cabbii taʼa.
The waters are hid as with a stone: and the face of the depth is frosen.
