¹After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

¹Markaas dabadeed Ayuub intuu afkiisa furay ayuu habaaray maalintii uu dhashay.

²And Job spake, and said,

²Oo Ayuub intuu hadal bilaabay ayuu yidhi:

³Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

³Dharaartii aan dhashay ha baabba'do Iyo habeenkii la yidhi, Wiil baa calool galay.

⁴Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

⁴Maalintaasu gudcur ha ahaato; Oo Ilaah yuusan iyada xagga sare kaga fiirsan, Oo nuurkuna yuusan iftiimin.

⁵Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

⁵Gudcur iyo hooska dhimashadu iyada mulki ha ka dhigteen. Daruuru ha ku degto, Oo wixii maalin madoobeeya oo dhammu ha cabsiiyeen.

⁶As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

⁶Oo habeenkaasna gudcur weynu ha qabsado, Oo ayaamaha sannadda yuusan ka dhex rayrayn. Oo yuusan soo dhex gelin bilaha tiradooda.

⁷Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

⁷Bal eeg, habeenkaasu cidla ha noqdo; Oo cod faraxsan yaanu ka dhex yeedhin.

⁸Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

⁸Oo isaga ha habaareen kuwa maalinta habaaraa, Oo kicin kara bahalka la yidhaahdo Lewiiyaataan.

⁹Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

⁹Fiidka xiddigihiisu gudcur ha noqdeen, Iftiin ha doondoono oo yuusan helin; Oo innaba yuusan arkin kaaha waaberiga.

¹⁰Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

¹⁰Maxaa yeelay, isagu ma uu awdin irdihii maxalka hooyaday, Oo indhahaygana dhib kama uu qarin.

¹¹Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

¹¹Bal maxaan u dhiman waayay markaan uurka ka soo baxay? Oo maxaa naftu iiga bixi weyday isla markaan caloosha ka soo baxay?

¹²Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

¹²Bal jilbuhu maxay ii aqbaleen? Amase naasuhu inaan nuugo?

¹³For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

¹³Waayo, hadda xasilloonaan baan ku jiifi lahaa; Oo waan iska seexan lahaa, oo waan nasan lahaa,

¹⁴With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;

¹⁴Aniga iyo boqorrada iyo lataliyayaasha dunida Oo nafsaddooda taallooyin u dhistay,

¹⁵Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

¹⁵Iyo amiirradii dahabka lahaan jiray, Oo guryahooda lacagta ka buuxsaday;

¹⁶Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

¹⁶Bal dhicis qarsoon maxaan u ahaan waayay? Ama sida dhallaan aan innaba iftiinka arag?

¹⁷There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

¹⁷Halkaas kuwa sharka ahu cidna kuma sii dhibaan, Oo kuwa daallanuna halkaasay ku nastaan.

¹⁸There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

¹⁸Maxaabiistuna halkaasay dhammaantood ku wada istareexaan, Mana ay maqlaan kii dulmi jiray codkiisa.

¹⁹The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

¹⁹Yar iyo weynba halkaasaa la wada joogaa, Oo addoonkuna sayidkiisa waa ka xor.

²⁰Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

²⁰Bal iftiin maxaa loo siiyaa kan dhibaataysan? Maxaase loo nooleeyaa kan naftiisu la qadhaadhaatay,

²¹Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

²¹Oo dhimasho u xiisooda, oo ayan u imanayn, Oo daraaddeed dhulka u qodqoda intuu khasnado qarsoon qodi lahaa in ka sii badan,

²²Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

²²Kuwaasoo aad u reyreeya, Oo farxa hadday qabriga heli karaan?

²³Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

²³Bal maxaa iftiin loo siiyaa nin jidkiisu qarsoon yahay, Oo Ilaah deyr ku wareejiyey?

²⁴For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

²⁴Waayo, intaanan wax cunin ayaan taahaa, Oo cabaadkayguna wuxuu u shubmaa sida biyo oo kale.

²⁵For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

²⁵Waayo, hadba wixii aan ka cabsado ayaa igu soo dega, Oo wixii aan ka baqo ayaa ii yimaada.Ma aan istareexsani, mana aan xasillooni, mana aan nasto; Laakiinse hadba dhibaato baa ii timaada.

²⁶I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

²⁶Ma aan istareexsani, mana aan xasillooni, mana aan nasto; Laakiinse hadba dhibaato baa ii timaada.
