1Markaasaa Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu yidhi,
1And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: —
2Haddaba waxaa ii jawaaba fikirradayda, Oo sababtu waxay tahay degdegga igu jira.
2Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
3Waxaan maqlay canaanta i ceebaysa, Oo waxaa ii jawaabta waxgarashadayda.
3The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
4Miyaadan ogayn in waayihii hore iyo Tan iyo waagii binu-aadmiga dhulka la saaray
4This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
5Ay guulaysashada sharrowyadu gaaban tahay, Oo farxadda cibaadalaawayaashuna ay daqiiqad qudha tahay?
5That the singing of the wicked [is] short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
6In kastoo sarrayntiisu ay samada korto, Oo madaxiisuna uu daruuraha gaadho,
6Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike —
7Wuxuu weligiis u baabbi'i doonaa sida xaarkiisa oo kale. Oo kuwii isaga arki jiray waxay odhan doonaan, War meeh isagii?
7As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: `Where [is] he?`
8Sida riyo ayuu u libdhi doonaa, oo lama heli doono, Hubaal waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida riyada habeenka.
8As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,
9Ishii isaga aragtay mar dambe ma ay arki doonto, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe uma ay jeedi doonto.
9The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.
10Carruurtiisu waxay wax ka baryi doonaan masaakiinta, Oo gacmahooduna dib bay u celin doonaan maalkiisa.
10His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.
11Lafihiisana waxaa ka buuxa xoogga dhallinyaranimada, Laakiinse ciidda dhexdeeduu la jiifsan doonaa.
11His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.
12In kastoo xumaantu afkiisa la macaan tahay, In kastoo uu carrabkiisa ku hoos qarsado,
12Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,
13In kastoo uu kaydsado, oo uusan iska sii dayn, Laakiinse uu afkiisa ku sii haysto,
13Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,
14Kolleyba cuntadiisu mindhicirkiisay ku beddelantaa, Oo waxay uurkiisa ku noqataa waabayo jilbis.
14His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps [is] in his heart.
15Isagu maal buu liqay, laakiinse mar kaluu soo mantagi doonaa, Oo Ilaah baa calooshiisa ka soo saari doona.
15Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.
16Wuxuu nuugi doonaa mariidka jilbisyada, Oo waxaa isaga dili doona mas carrabkiis.
16Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.
17Oo ma uu fiirin doono webiyada, Iyo durdurrada la barwaaqaysan malabka iyo subagga.
17He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
18Wixii uu ku hawshooday wuu soo celin doonaa, oo ma uu liqi doono, Oo maalka uu faa'iidada u helayna siduu yahay uguma uu farxi doono.
18He is giving back [what] he laboured for, And doth not consume [it]; As a bulwark [is] his exchange, and he exults not.
19Waayo, wuxuu dulmay oo dayriyey masaakiinta, Oo wuxuu xoog ku qaatay guri uusan dhisin.
19For he oppressed — he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
20Uurkiisu xasilloonaan ma lahayn, Taas daraaddeed waxa uu jecel yahay oo dhan waxba kama uu badbaadin doono.
20For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
21Wuxuu liqay wax ka hadhay lama arkin, Sidaas daraaddeed barwaaqadiisu siima raagi doonto.
21There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.
22Markuu dheregsan yahay ayuu cidhiidhi dhex geli doonaa, Oo mid kasta oo belaayaysan gacantiisa ayaa ku soo degi doontaa.
22In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.
23Markuu ku dhow yahay inuu calooshiisa buuxsado, Ayaa Ilaah wuxuu ku soo tuuri doonaa kulaylka cadhadiis, Oo wuu ku soo shubi doonaa intuu wax cunayo.
23It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.
24Wuu ka carari doonaa hubka birta ah, Oo qaansada naxaasta ahu fallaadh bay ka dhex dusin doontaa.
24He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.
25Wuu soo jiidaa, kolkaasay jidhkiisa ka soo baxdaa, Hubaal caaradda dhalaalaysa ayaa beerkiisa ka soo baxda, Oo cabsi baa isaga ku dhacda.
25One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him [are] terrors.
26Gudcurka oo dhanna waxaa meel loogu kaydiyey khasnadihiisa; Oo dab aan la afuufin ayaa isaga dhammayn doona, Wuuna baabbi'in doonaa waxa teendhadiisa ku dhex hadhay.
26All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.
27Samooyinku waxay daaha ka qaadi doonaan xumaantiisa, Oo dhulkuna isaguu ku kici doonaa.
27Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.
28Hodanka reerkiisu wuu ka dhammaan doonaa, Oo maalinta cadhada Ilaah ayaa maalkiisu libdhi doonaa.Intaasu waxaa weeye qaybta ninkii shar ahu uu xagga Ilaah ka helayo, Iyo wixii Ilaah dhaxal ahaan ugu amray.
28Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.
29Intaasu waxaa weeye qaybta ninkii shar ahu uu xagga Ilaah ka helayo, Iyo wixii Ilaah dhaxal ahaan ugu amray.
29This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.
