Iyyoob 39
1 “Yeroo itti qellejjeen dhaltu beektaa? Yeroo itti borofni ilmoo ishee dhaltu argiteertaa?
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?
2 Jiʼa isaan garaatti ilmaan baatan ni lakkooftaa? Yeroo isaan itti dhalan ni beektaa?
Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3 Isaan jilbeenfatanii ilmaan isaanii dhalu; foolachuu isaaniis ni hobbaafatu.
They bow themselves, they give birth to their young ones, they cast out their pains;
4 Ilmaan isaanii ni jabaatu; alattis ni guddatu; baʼanii ni deemu; hin deebiʼanis.
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them.
5 “Eenyutu harree diidaa gad dhiise? Funyoo isaas eenyutu hiike?
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,
6 Ani gammoojjii mana isaa, lafa soogiddaas iddoo jireenya isaa godheen kenneef.
Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?
7 Inni waca magaalaa keessaatti ni kolfa; iyya konkolaachisaas hin dhagaʼu.
He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;
8 Waan dheedu argachuuf tulluuwwan irra laba; waan lalisaa hundas ni barbaada.
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 “Gafarsi si tajaajiluuf siif ajajamaa? Dallaa kee keessas ni bulaa?
Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy crib?
10 Akka inni lafa siif qotuuf funyoodhaan isa hidhuu ni dandeessaa? Yookaan inni si duubaan boʼoo ni baasaa?
Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Ati waan inni humna guddaa qabuuf isa ni amanattaa? Hojii kee jabaa illee isatti ni dhiiftaa?
Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Akka inni midhaan kee walitti qabee oobdii kee irratti siif tuuluuf isa ni abdattaa?
Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?
13 “Guchiin gammachuudhaan qoochoo ishee afarsiti; garuu qoochoo fi baallee huummootiin wal bira hin qabamu.
The wing of the ostrich beats joyously — But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?
14 Hanqaaquu ishee lafa irratti buufti; akka itti hoʼuufis cirracha keessatti dhiifti;
For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
15 garuu akka miilli wayii caccabsu, akka bineensi irra ejjetu hin yaadattu.
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.
16 Cuucii isheettis akka waan isaan kan ishee hin taʼiniitti garaa jabaatti; yoo dadhabbiin ishee akkasumaan bade illee isheef homaa miti;
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.
17 Waaqni ogummaadhaan ishee hin badhaafneetii; yookaan hubannaa isheef hin qoodne.
For God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.
18 Yeroo fiiguuf qoochoo ishee balʼifattutti, isheen fardaa fi namicha gulufutti kofalti.
What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19 “Ati fardaaf jabina ni kennitaa? Yookaan morma isaatti gama uffisuu dandeessaa?
Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
20 Akka inni akkuma hawwaannisaatti utaalu ni gootaa? Ulfinni korrisa isaas sodaachisaa dha.
Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
21 Inni humna isaatti gammadee akka malee guulee lafa dhidhiita; baʼees miʼa lolaatti qajeela.
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.
22 Inni sodaatti ni kolfa; waan tokko illee hin sodaatu; goraadee irraas duubatti hin deebiʼu.
He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.
23 Manʼeen xiyyaa, eeboo fi ankaaseen calaqqisus cinaacha isaatti bubbuʼee kililcha.
The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
24 Siʼaaʼee rommuudhaan lafa haadha; yeroo malakanni afuufamutti illee obsee dhaabachuu hin dandaʼu.
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:
25 Inni yommuu malakanni afuufamutti ‘Uffee’ jedhee imimsa; waca ajajjootaatii fi iyya waraanaa, foolii waraanaa illee fagoottu suufa.
At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26 “Cululleen ogummaa keetiin barriftee qoochoo ishees gara kibbaatti balʼiftii?
Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south?
27 Risaan ajaja keetiin ol baʼee ol fagootti mana isaa ijaarrataa?
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high?
28 Inni qarqara hallayyaa irra jiraata; halkanis achuma bula; kattaan fofottoqaanis daʼoo isaa ti.
He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:
29 Achi taaʼees waan nyaatu adamsa; iji isaas fagootti waan sana arga.
From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance;
30 Cuucoliin isaa dhiiga dhugu; innis lafa raqni jiruu hin dhabamu.”
And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
