New Amharic Standard Version

ኢዮብ 21:1-34

ኢዮብ

1ኢዮብም እንዲህ ሲል መለሰ፤

2“ቃሌን በጥንቃቄ ስሙ፤

የምታጽናኑኝም በዚህ ይሁን፤

3ንግግሬን በትዕግሥት አድምጡ፤

ከተናገርሁ በኋላ፣ መሣለቅ ትችላላችሁ።

4“በውኑ ቅርታዬ በሰው ላይ ነውን?

ትዕግሥት ማጣትስ አይገባኝምን?

5ተመልከቱኝና ተገረሙ፤

አፋችሁን በእጃችሁ ለጕሙ።

6ስለዚህ ነገር ባሰብሁ ቍጥር እደነግጣለሁ፤

ሰውነቴም በፍርሀት ይንቀጠቀጣል።

7ኀጢአተኞች ለምን በሕይወት ይኖራሉ?

ለምን ለእርጅና ይበቃሉ? ለምንስ እያየሉ ይሄዳሉ?

8ዘራቸው በዐይናቸው ፊት፣

ልጆቻቸውም በዙሪያቸው ጸንተው ሲኖሩ ያያሉ፤

9ቤታቸው ያለ ሥጋት በሰላም ይኖራል፤

የእግዚአብሔርም በትር የለባቸውም።

10ኮርማቸው ዘሩ በከንቱ አይወድቅም፤

ያስረግዛል፤ ላማቸውም ሳትጨነግፍ ትወልዳለች።

11ልጆቻቸውን እንደ በግ መንጋ ያሰማራሉ፤

ሕፃናታቸውም ይቦርቃሉ።

12በከበሮና በክራር ይዘፍናሉ፤

በዋሽንትም ድምፅ ይፈነጫሉ።

13ዕድሜያቸውን በተድላ ያሳልፋሉ፤

በሰላምም21፥13 ወይም በፍጥነት ማለት ነው። ወደ መቃብር21፥13 በዕብራይስጡ፣ ሲኦል ይላል። ይወርዳሉ።

14እግዚአብሔርንም እንዲህ ይሉታል፤ ‘አትድረስብን!

መንገድህንም ማወቅ አንፈልግም።

15እናገለግለው ዘንድ፣ ሁሉን ቻይ አምላክ ማን ነው?

ወደ እርሱ ብንጸልይስ ምን እናገኛለን?’

16ይሁንና ብልጽግናቸው በእጃቸው አይደለም፤

ከኀጢአተኞች ምክር እርቃለሁ።

17“የኀጢአተኞች መብራት የጠፋው ስንት ጊዜ ነው?

የእግዚአብሔር ቍጣ መከራ የመጣባቸው፣

መቅሠፍትም የደረሰባቸው ስንት ጊዜ ነው?

18በነፋስ ፊት እንዳለ ገለባ፣

በዐውሎ ነፋስም እንደ ተወሰደ ዕብቅ የሆኑት ስንት ጊዜ ነው?

19እናንተ፣ ‘እግዚአብሔር የሰውን ቅጣት ለልጆቹ ያከማቻል’ ትላላችሁ፤

ነገር ግን ያውቀው ዘንድ ለሰውየው ለራሱ ይክፈለው፤

20ዐይኖቹ የራሱን ውድቀት ይዩ፤

ሁሉን ከሚችል አምላክ21፥17-20 17፡18 ቃለ አጋኖዎች ሲሆኑ፣ 19፡20 ደግሞ ብያኔዎች ናቸው። ቍጣ ይጠጣ።

21ሰው ወራቱ በተገባደደ ጊዜ፣

ለቀሪ ቤተ ሰቡ ምን ይገድደዋል?

22“ከፍ ባሉት ላይ ለሚፈርድ አምላክ፣

ዕውቀትን ሊያስተምረው የሚችል አለን?

23አንድ ሰው በፍጹም ተድላ ደስታ እየኖረ፣

በሙሉ ብርታቱም እያለ ይሞታል፤

24ሰውነቱ21፥24 የዚህ ቃል የዕብራይስጡ ትርጕም በትክክል አይታወቅም። በምቾት፣

ዐጥንቱም በሥብ ተሞልቶ እያለ በሞት ይለያል።

25ሌላው ሰው ደግሞ አንዳች መልካም ነገር ሳያይ፣

በተመረረች ነፍስ ይሞታል፤

26ሁለቱም በዐፈር ውስጥ አንድ ላይ ይተኛሉ፤

ትልም ይወርሳቸዋል።

27“እነሆ፣ ምክራችሁን፣

በእኔ ላይ ያሤራችሁትንም ተረድቻለሁ።

28እናንተ፣ ‘የትልቁ ሰው ቤት፣

ኀጢአተኛውም የኖረበት ድንኳን የት አለ?’ አላችሁ፤

29መንገደኞችን አልጠየቃችሁምን?

የነገሯችሁንስ ነገር በጥሞና አላዳመጣችሁምን?

30ክፉ ሰው በመቅሠፍት ቀን እንደሚጠበቅ፣

በቍጣም ቀን እንደሚተርፍ21፥30 ወይም ለመቅሠፍት ቀን ተጠብቆ እንደሚቈይ ማለት ነው። አታውቁምን?

31ተግባሩን ፊት ለፊት የሚነግረው ማን ነው?

የእጁንስ ማን ይሰጠዋል?

32ወደ መቃብር ይወስዱታል፤

ለመቃብሩም ጠባቂ ይደረግለታል።

33የሸለቈው ዐፈር ምቹ ይሆንለታል፤

ሰው ሁሉ ይከተለዋል፤

ስፍር ቍጥር የሌለው ሕዝብ21፥33 ወይም ስፍር ቍጥር እንደ ሌለው ሕዝብ ማለት ነው። በፊቱ ይሄዳል።

34“መልሳችሁ ከሐሰት በስተቀር ሌላ አይገኝበትም!

ታዲያ፣ በማይረባ ነገር እንዴት ልታጽናኑኝ ትችላላችሁ?”

Job 21:1-34

Job

1Then Job replied:

2‘Listen carefully to my words;

let this be the consolation you give me.

3Bear with me while I speak,

and after I have spoken, mock on.

4‘Is my complaint directed to a human being?

Why should I not be impatient?

5Look at me and be appalled;

clap your hand over your mouth.

6When I think about this, I am terrified;

trembling seizes my body.

7Why do the wicked live on,

growing old and increasing in power?

8They see their children established around them,

their offspring before their eyes.

9Their homes are safe and free from fear;

the rod of God is not on them.

10Their bulls never fail to breed;

their cows calve and do not miscarry.

11They send forth their children as a flock;

their little ones dance about.

12They sing to the music of tambourine and lyre;

they make merry to the sound of the pipe.

13They spend their years in prosperity

and go down to the grave in peace.21:13 Or in an instant

14Yet they say to God, “Leave us alone!

We have no desire to know your ways.

15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

What would we gain by praying to him?”

16But their prosperity is not in their own hands,

so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

17‘Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?

How often does calamity come upon them,

the fate God allots in his anger?

18How often are they like straw before the wind,

like chaff swept away by a gale?

19It is said, “God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.”

Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!

20Let their own eyes see their destruction;

let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.

21For what do they care about the families they leave behind

when their allotted months come to an end?

22‘Can anyone teach knowledge to God,

since he judges even the highest?

23One person dies in full vigour,

completely secure and at ease,

24well nourished in body,21:24 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

bones rich with marrow.

25Another dies in bitterness of soul,

never having enjoyed anything good.

26Side by side they lie in the dust,

and worms cover them both.

27‘I know full well what you are thinking,

the schemes by which you would wrong me.

28You say, “Where now is the house of the great,

the tents where the wicked lived?”

29Have you never questioned those who travel?

Have you paid no regard to their accounts –

30that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,

that they are delivered from21:30 Or wicked are reserved for the day of calamity, / that they are brought forth to the day of wrath?

31Who denounces their conduct to their face?

Who repays them for what they have done?

32They are carried to the grave,

and watch is kept over their tombs.

33The soil in the valley is sweet to them;

everyone follows after them,

and a countless throng goes21:33 Or them, / as a countless throng went before them.

34‘So how can you console me with your nonsense?

Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!’
