Iyyoob 39
1 “Yeroo itti qellejjeen dhaltu beektaa? Yeroo itti borofni ilmoo ishee dhaltu argiteertaa?
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn?
2 Jiʼa isaan garaatti ilmaan baatan ni lakkooftaa? Yeroo isaan itti dhalan ni beektaa?
Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3 Isaan jilbeenfatanii ilmaan isaanii dhalu; foolachuu isaaniis ni hobbaafatu.
They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings.
4 Ilmaan isaanii ni jabaatu; alattis ni guddatu; baʼanii ni deemu; hin deebiʼanis.
Their young are weaned and go to feed: they go forth, and return not to them.
5 “Eenyutu harree diidaa gad dhiise? Funyoo isaas eenyutu hiike?
Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds?
6 Ani gammoojjii mana isaa, lafa soogiddaas iddoo jireenya isaa godheen kenneef.
To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land.
7 Inni waca magaalaa keessaatti ni kolfa; iyya konkolaachisaas hin dhagaʼu.
He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver.
8 Waan dheedu argachuuf tulluuwwan irra laba; waan lalisaa hundas ni barbaada.
He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing.
9 “Gafarsi si tajaajiluuf siif ajajamaa? Dallaa kee keessas ni bulaa?
Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib?
10 Akka inni lafa siif qotuuf funyoodhaan isa hidhuu ni dandeessaa? Yookaan inni si duubaan boʼoo ni baasaa?
Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee?
11 Ati waan inni humna guddaa qabuuf isa ni amanattaa? Hojii kee jabaa illee isatti ni dhiiftaa?
Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him?
12 Akka inni midhaan kee walitti qabee oobdii kee irratti siif tuuluuf isa ni abdattaa?
Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor?
13 “Guchiin gammachuudhaan qoochoo ishee afarsiti; garuu qoochoo fi baallee huummootiin wal bira hin qabamu.
The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.
14 Hanqaaquu ishee lafa irratti buufti; akka itti hoʼuufis cirracha keessatti dhiifti;
When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.
15 garuu akka miilli wayii caccabsu, akka bineensi irra ejjetu hin yaadattu.
She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break 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, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.
17 Waaqni ogummaadhaan ishee hin badhaafneetii; yookaan hubannaa isheef hin qoodne.
For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.
18 Yeroo fiiguuf qoochoo ishee balʼifattutti, isheen fardaa fi namicha gulufutti kofalti.
When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high: she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19 “Ati fardaaf jabina ni kennitaa? Yookaan morma isaatti gama uffisuu dandeessaa?
Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing?
20 Akka inni akkuma hawwaannisaatti utaalu ni gootaa? Ulfinni korrisa isaas sodaachisaa dha.
Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.
21 Inni humna isaatti gammadee akka malee guulee lafa dhidhiita; baʼees miʼa lolaatti qajeela.
He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men.
22 Inni sodaatti ni kolfa; waan tokko illee hin sodaatu; goraadee irraas duubatti hin deebiʼu.
He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword,
23 Manʼeen xiyyaa, eeboo fi ankaaseen calaqqisus cinaacha isaatti bubbuʼee kililcha.
Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.
24 Siʼaaʼee rommuudhaan lafa haadha; yeroo malakanni afuufamutti illee obsee dhaabachuu hin dandaʼu.
Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.
25 Inni yommuu malakanni afuufamutti ‘Uffee’ jedhee imimsa; waca ajajjootaatii fi iyya waraanaa, foolii waraanaa illee fagoottu suufa.
When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.
26 “Cululleen ogummaa keetiin barriftee qoochoo ishees gara kibbaatti balʼiftii?
Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?
27 Risaan ajaja keetiin ol baʼee ol fagootti mana isaa ijaarrataa?
Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?
28 Inni qarqara hallayyaa irra jiraata; halkanis achuma bula; kattaan fofottoqaanis daʼoo isaa ti.
She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.
29 Achi taaʼees waan nyaatu adamsa; iji isaas fagootti waan sana arga.
From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
30 Cuucoliin isaa dhiiga dhugu; innis lafa raqni jiruu hin dhabamu.”
Her young ones shall suck up blood: and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.
