¹And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: —

¹Oo weliba Rabbigu Ayuub buu u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.

²Kii murmayaa ma Ilaaha Qaadirka ah buu la diriri karaa? Kii Ilaah la doodayaa ha ka jawaabo taas.

³And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: —

³Markaasaa Ayuub Rabbiga u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

⁴Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

⁴Bal eeg, wax yar baan ahay, haddaba bal maxaan kuugu jawaabaa? Afkaan gacanta saarayaa.

⁵Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

⁵Mar baan hadlay, jawaab dambena u noqon maayo, Laba jeer oo qudha ayaan hadlay, laakiinse hadda ka dib sii wadi maayo.

⁶And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: —

⁶Markaasaa Rabbigu Ayuub uga dhex jawaabay dabaysha cirwareenta ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

⁷Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.

⁷Haddaba sidii nin rag ah dhexda u gunto, Waayo, wax baan ku weyddiinayaa, oo adna waa inaad ii sheegtaa.

⁸Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?

⁸War ma xukunkaygaad burinaysaa? Oo ma waxaad ii xukumaysaa inaad xaq noqotid?

⁹And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder?

⁹Adiguse ma waxaad leedahay Ilaah gacantiisa oo kale? Oo codkiisa oo kale miyaad ku onkodi kartaa?

¹⁰Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on.

¹⁰Haddaba waxaad isku sharraxdaa sarraysnaan iyo derejo, Oo waxaad huwataa sharaf iyo haybad.

¹¹Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.

¹¹Haddaba cadhadaada buuxdhaafkeeda soo daadi, Oo waxaad fiirisaa mid kasta oo kibir leh, oo isaga hoos u soo deji.

¹²See every proud one — humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.

¹²Mid kasta oo kibir leh soo fiiri oo hoosaysii, Oo kuwa sharka ah meel alla meeshay istaagaan ku joogso.

¹³Hide them in the dust together, Their faces bind in secret.

¹³Dhammaantood ciidda ku qari, Oo wejigoodana meel qarsoon ku xidh.

¹⁴And even I — I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee.

¹⁴Oo anna markaas waxaan kuu qiran doonaa In gacantaada midig ay ku badbaadin karto.

¹⁵Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

¹⁵Haddaba bal eeg jeerta aan u sameeyey sidaan kuu sameeyey oo kale, Cawska bay u daaqdaa sida dibi oo kale.

¹⁶Lo, I pray thee, his power [is] in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.

¹⁶Haddaba bal eeg, xooggeedu wuxuu ugu jiraa dhexdeeda, Oo itaalkeeduna wuxuu ku jiraa muruqyada caloosheeda.

¹⁷He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,

¹⁷Oo dabadeedana waxay u taagtaa sida geed kedar ah oo kale, Oo seedaha bowdooyinkeeduna way isku wada tidcan yihiin.

¹⁸His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar of iron.

¹⁸Oo lafaheeduna waa sidii tuubbooyin naxaas ah; Oo addimmadeeduna waa sidii wax bir ah.

¹⁹He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;

¹⁹Iyadu jidadka Ilaah waa u madax, Oo kii abuuray oo keliya ayaa seeftiisa u dhowayn kara.

²⁰For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.

²⁰Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaa iyada cunto u soo bixiya Buuraha ay xayawaanka duurka oo dhammu ku cayaaraan.

²¹Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.

²¹Oo waxay hoos jiifsataa dhirta hooska badan, Iyo meesha qarsoon ee cawsduurka iyo biyagaleenka.

²²Cover him do shades, [with] their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.

²²Dhirta hooska badan ayaa hadhkooda ku qariya, Oo waxaa iyada ku wareegsan geedaha safsaafka ah ee durdurka ku ag yaal.

²³Lo, a flood oppresseth — he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.

²³Bal eeg, haddii webigu buuxdhaafo iyadu ma gariirto, In kastoo Webi Urdun afka ka galo, haddana iyadu way isku kalsoon tahay.Ninna miyuu iyada qaban karaa iyadoo u jeedda? Miyaase sanka dabin lagaga duleelin karaa?

²⁴Before his eyes doth [one] take him, With snares doth [one] pierce the nose?

²⁴Ninna miyuu iyada qaban karaa iyadoo u jeedda? Miyaase sanka dabin lagaga duleelin karaa?
