1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
1Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
2Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
3Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
4Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
5Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
6Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
6War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
7Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
8Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
9Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
11Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
12Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
13Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
14Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
14Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
15Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
16It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
16Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,
17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
17War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
18Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
19Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
20Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
21Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
21Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
