¹Ruuxaygii waa tabardarnaaday, cimrigaygiina waa dhammaaday, Oo qabrigu waa ii diyaar.

¹My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are mine.

²Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaa ila jooga majaajilowyo, Oo ishayduna waxay fiiro u leedahay ka cadhaysiintooda.

²Are there not mockers around me? and doth [not] mine eye abide in their provocation?

³Haddaba rahaamad i sii, oo dammiin ii noqo; Bal yaa jooga oo gacanta dhaar iigu dhiibaya?

³Lay down now [a pledge], be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

⁴Waayo, qalbigooda waxgarashadii waad ka qarisay, Oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga ma aad sarraysiin doontid.

⁴For thou hast hidden their heart from understanding; therefore thou wilt not exalt [them].

⁵Kii saaxiibbadiis u yeedha inay maal ka qaybgeliyaan, Carruurtiisu way indha beeli doonaan.

⁵He that betrayeth friends for a prey -- even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶Oo weliba isagu wuxuu iga dhigay wax ay dadku ku halqabsadaan, Oo waxaan noqday mid ay dadku candhuuf ku tufaan.

⁶And he hath made me a proverb of the peoples; and I am become one to be spit on in the face.

⁷Indhahaygii murug bay la arag daranyihiin, Oo xubnahaygii oo dhammuna waxay noqdeen sidii hoos oo kale.

⁷And mine eye is dim by reason of grief, and all my members are as a shadow.

⁸Dadkii toolmoonu waxan way la yaabayaan, Oo kan aan xaqa qabinuna wuxuu ku kacayaa cibaadalaawaha.

⁸Upright men [shall be] astonished at this, and the innocent shall be stirred up against the ungodly;

⁹Laakiinse kii xaq ahu jidkiisa wuu ku sii adkaysan doonaa, Oo kii gacmo nadiifsan lahuna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaysan doonaa.

⁹But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength.

¹⁰Laakiinse idinku dhammaantiin bal soo noqda oo ii kaalaya, Oo anna nin xigmad leh idinkama heli doono.

¹⁰But as for you all, pray come on again; and I shall not find one wise man among you.

¹¹Cimrigaygii waa dhammaaday, Oo qastigaygii iyo fikirradii qalbigayguba waa baabbe'een.

¹¹My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heart.

¹²Habeenka waxay u beddelaan maalin, Oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Iftiinku waa u dhow yahay gudcurka.

¹²They change the night into day; the light [they imagine] near in presence of the darkness.

¹³Haddaan She'ool u rajeeyo sida gurigaygii oo kale, Ama haddaan gogoshayda gudcurka ku dhex fidsado,

¹³If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness:

¹⁴Oo haddaan qudhunka ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay aabbahay, Oo aan dirxigana ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay hooyaday iyo walaashay,

¹⁴I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!

¹⁵Bal markaas meeday rajadaydu? Oo bal yaase rajadayda arki doona?Waxay hoos ugu dhaadhici doontaa qataarrada She'ool, Markaannu ciidda wada galno.

¹⁵And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶Waxay hoos ugu dhaadhici doontaa qataarrada She'ool, Markaannu ciidda wada galno.

¹⁶It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when [our] rest shall be together in the dust.
