1Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
1And Job answered and said,
2Anigu waan maqlay waxyaalo badan oo caynkaas ah. Idinku dhammaantiin waxaad tihiin qalbiqabowjiyayaal qalqalloocan.
2I have heard many such things: grievous comforters are ye all.
3Hadal dabayl ahu miyuu dhammaadaa? Balse maxaa kaa dhirfinaya oo aad u jawaabaysaa?
3Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
4Haddii naftiinnu ahaan lahayd naftayda, Anigu waan u hadli kari lahaa sidiinna oo kale, Oo hadal waan idinku kor tuuli kari lahaa, Oo madaxaygana waan idinku ruxruxi kari lahaa.
4I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;
5Laakiinse anigu afkayga waan idinku xoogayn lahaa, Oo tacsiyaynta bushimahayguna way idin qalbi qabowjin lahayd.
5[But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain].
6Anigu haddaan hadlo xanuunkaygu igama yaraado, Oo haddaan iska aamusona miyaan in ka yar xanuunsadaa?
6If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?
7Laakiinse haatan wuu i daaliyey, Oo guutadaydii oo dhan cidlo baad ka dhigtay.
7But now he hath made me weary; ... thou hast made desolate all my family;
8Waad i qabsatay, taasuna waa marag iga gees ah, Oo waxaa igu kaca macluulkayga, oo fool ka fool ayuu igu markhaati furaa.
8Thou hast shrivelled me up! it is become a witness; and my leanness riseth up against me, it beareth witness to my face.
9Isagoo cadhaysan ayuu i dildillaacsaday, oo wuu i silciyey, Wuuna igu ilko jirriqsaday, Oo cadowgaygii indhuhuu igu caddeeyey.
9His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.
10Iyagu afkay ii kala qaadeen, Oo quudhsasho ayay dhabanka igaga dharbaaxeen, Oo dhammaantoodna way isu kay wada urursadaan.
10They gape upon me with their mouth; they smite my cheeks reproachfully; they range themselves together against me.
11Ilaah wuxuu gacantooda i geliyaa cibaadalaawayaasha, Oo wuxuu igu dhex tuuraa gacmaha kuwa sharka ah.
11ùGod hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.
12Anigoo iska istareexsan ayuu i kala jejebiyey, Oo intuu surka i qabtay ayuu i kala burburiyey, Oo weliba intuu meel i qotomiyey ayuu goolibaadh iga dhigtay.
12I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13Qaansoolayaashiisii ayaa i hareereeya, Oo kelyahaygii ayuu kala googooyaa, Oo xammeetidaydiina dhulkuu ku daadshaa.
13His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14Isagu wuu i jejebiyaa oo nabarba nabar buu iiga kor mariyaa; Oo sidii nin xoog badan ayuu orod igula soo kacaa.
14He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a mighty man.
15Korkayga waxaan ku tolay joonyad, Oo xooggaygiina ciiddaan ku riday.
15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust.
16Wejigaygii oohin buu la beddelmay, Oo indhaha daboolkoodana waxaa ii jooga hooskii dhimashada,
16My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17In kastoo aanay xaqdarro ku jirin gacmahayga, Oo uu baryootankayguna daahir yahay.
17Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18Dhulkow, dhiiggayga ha qarinin, Oo qayladayduna yaanay meelay ku nasato lahaan.
18O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!
19Oo hadda bal eeg, markhaatigaygii wuxuu joogaa samada, Oo kii ii dammiintaana xagga saruu joogaa.
19Even now, behold, my Witness is in the heavens, and he that voucheth for me is in the heights.
20Saaxiibbaday way igu qoslaan, Laakiinse indhahaygu ilmo bay u daadiyaan xag Ilaah.
20My friends are my mockers; mine eye poureth out tears unto +God.
21Bal muu jiro mid dadka Ilaah ula hadla, Siduu nin deriskiisa ugu hadlo oo kale.Waayo, markii dhawr sannadood dhaafaan, Waxaan mari doonaa jidka aanan mar kale dib uga soo noqonayn.
21Oh that there were arbitration for a man with +God, as a son of man for his friend!
22Waayo, markii dhawr sannadood dhaafaan, Waxaan mari doonaa jidka aanan mar kale dib uga soo noqonayn.
22For years [few] in number shall pass, -- and I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
