¹Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

¹Markaasaa Rabbigu Ayuub uga jawaabay dabaysha cirwareenta ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

²Waa kuma kan talada ku madoobeeya Erayada aan aqoonta lahayn?

³Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

³Haddaba sida nin rag ah dhexda u gunto, Waayo, wax baan ku weyddiinayaa, oo adna waa inaad ii sheegtaa.

⁴Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁴Markaan dunida aasaaskeeda dhigay xaggee baad joogtay? Haddaad waxgarad tahay, taas ii sheeg.

⁵Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

⁵Haddaadse taqaanid yaa qiyaasteeda amray? Amase yaa xadhiggii lagu qiyaasay ku kor fidiyey?

⁶Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁶Aasaaskeedase bal xaggee baa lagu dejiyey? Amase yaa dhigay dhagaxa geeska ah

⁷When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁷Markay xiddigaha aroorya isla wada heeseen, Oo ay carruurta Ilaah oo dhammu farxad la qayliyeen?

⁸Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

⁸Amase yaa badda albaabbo ku xidhay markay u soo faruurantay Sidii wax maxal ka soo baxay,

⁹When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

⁹Iyo markaan daruurta dharka uga dhigay, Oo aan gudcurka maro lagu duudduubo uga dhigay,

¹⁰And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

¹⁰Oo aan hareeraheeda xad u amray, Oo aan u yeelay qataarro iyo albaabbo,

¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹¹Oo aan ku idhi, Ilaa halkan soo gaadh, laakiinse innaba ha soo dhaafin, Oo hirarkaaga kibirka lahu waa inay halkan ku joogsadaan?

¹²Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

¹²Tan iyo waagii aad dhalatay marna subaxda ma amartay? Waaberigase ma meeshiisaad ogeysiisay,

¹³That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

¹³Si uu u qabsado dhulka darfihiisa, Oo sharrowyada looga hurgufo?

¹⁴It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

¹⁴Waa loo beddelaa sidii dhoobo shaabad ka hoosaysa, Oo wax kastaaba waxay kor uga muuqdaan sidii dhar oo kale,

¹⁵And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

¹⁵Oo sharrowyadana iftiinkooda waa loo diiday, Oo gacantii sarraysayna waa la jebiyey.

¹⁶Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

¹⁶Adigu miyaad badda ilaheeda dhex gashay? Miyaadse moolka salkiisa martay?

¹⁷Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

¹⁷Geerida irdaheeda miyaa laguu muujiyey? Miyaadse aragtay irdaha hooska dhimashada?

¹⁸Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

¹⁸Miyaad garanaysaa dhulka ballaadhkiisa? Haddaad waxaas wada taqaanid ii sheeg.

¹⁹Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

¹⁹Rugta iftiinka jidka loo maraa waa xaggee? Gudcurkase meeshiisu waa xaggee,

²⁰That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

²⁰Si aad soohdintiisa u martid, Oo aad u garatid wadiiqooyinka gurigiisa loo maro?

²¹Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

²¹Shakila'aan waad taqaan, waayo, adigu wakhtigaas waad dhalanayd Oo cimrigaaguna wuu dheer yahay!

²²Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

²²Adigu miyaad dhex gashay meesha barafka cad lagu kaydiyo? Miyaadse aragtay meesha roobdhagaxyaalaha la dhigo,

²³Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

²³Kuwaasoo aan u kaydsaday wakhtiga dhibaatada, Iyo maalinta dirirta iyo dagaalka?

²⁴By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

²⁴Iftiinka jidkee baa lagu kala qaybiyaa? Dabaysha barise sidee baa dhulka loogu kor firdhiyaa?

²⁵Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

²⁵Bal yaa jid u sameeyey biyaha daadka ah, Amase hillaaca onkodka,

²⁶To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

²⁶Si roob ugu da'o dhul aan binu-aadmina joogin, Iyo cidlada aan ninna degganayn,

²⁷To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

²⁷Si uu u dherjiyo dhulka cidlo iyo baabba' ah, Oo uu doog jilicsan uga soo bixiyo?

²⁸Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

²⁸Roobku ma aabbuu leeyahay? Yaase dhalay dhibicyaha sayaxa?

²⁹Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

²⁹Barafkuse bal yuu maxalkiisa ka soo baxay? Yaase dhalay sayaxa barafoobay ee cirka ka yimaada?

³⁰The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

³⁰Biyihii waxay u adkaadeen sidii dhagax oo kale, Oo moolka korkiisiina wuu barafoobay.

³¹Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

³¹Adigu miyaad xidhi kartaa ururka xiddigaha ee Toddobaadyada la yidhaahdo? Miyaadse furi kartaa ururka Oriyon la yidhaahdo?

³²Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

³²Miyaad kartaa inaad xiddigaha Masarood la yidhaahdo xilligooda soo saarto? Miyaadse ururka xiddigaha ee Orsada la yidhaahdo carruurtiisa la kaxayn kartaa?

³³Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

³³Miyaad taqaan amarrada samooyinka? Dowladnimadoodana ma dhulkaad ku dhisi kartaa?

³⁴Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

³⁴Codkaaga miyaad daruuraha kor ugu qaadi kartaa, Si biyo badanu ay kuu daboolaan daraaddeed?

³⁵Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?

³⁵Miyaad hillaaca diri kartaa, si ay u tagaan, Oo ay kuugu yidhaahdaan, Waa na kan?

³⁶Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

³⁶Bal yaa qalbiga xigmadda geliyey? Yaase maanka waxgarashada siiyey?

³⁷Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

³⁷Bal yaa daruuraha xigmad ku tirin kara? Yaase qarbeddada samada biyo ka shubi kara,

³⁸When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

³⁸Markii boodhku taallooyin noqdo, Oo ciidduna ay isku dhegto?

³⁹Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

³⁹Miyaad karaysaa inaad gool libaax u ugaadhid? Miyaadse dhal libaax dherjin kartaa,

⁴⁰When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

⁴⁰Markay boholahooda ku dhex dhuuntaan, Oo ay hogga u joogaan inay wax gaadaan?Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?

⁴¹Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

⁴¹Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?
