¹Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?

¹Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

²Waxaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.

²They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;

³Oo waxay iska kaxaystaan dameerka agoonta, Oo waxay rahaamad u qaataan naag carmal ah dibigeed.

³They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;

⁴Saboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.

⁴They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.

⁵Bal eeg, sida dameerdibadeedyo lamadegaanka jooga Ayay shuqulkooda ugu baxaan, iyagoo cunto aad u doonaya; Cidladuna carruurtooda cuntay u soo bixisaa.

⁵Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.

⁶Cuntadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.

⁶They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;

⁷Oo habeenkii oo dhan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar lahayn ayay jiifsadaan, Oo dhaxanta waxay ka huwadaanna ma leh.

⁷They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;

⁸Waxaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.

⁸They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock ...

⁹Waxaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,

⁹They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:

¹⁰Sidaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.

¹⁰These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;

¹¹Waxay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.

¹¹They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

¹²Dadku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.

¹²Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and +God imputeth not the impiety.

¹³Kuwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.

¹³There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

¹⁴Gacankudhiigluhu kaaha waaberi wuu la soo kacaa, oo wuxuu dilaa miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan, Oo habeenkiina isagu waa sida tuug oo kale.

¹⁴The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

¹⁵Oo isha dhillayguna waxay sugtaa fiidka, Oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ninna ima arki doono, Oo wuu hagoogtaa.

¹⁵And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] face.

¹⁶Oo goor gudcur ah ayay guryaha dhacaan, Oo maalinnimadana meel bay isku xidhaan, Oo iftiinka maba yaqaaniin.

¹⁶In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:

¹⁷Waayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.

¹⁷For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.

¹⁸Isagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.

¹⁸He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.

¹⁹Biyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay.

¹⁹Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned.

²⁰Uurkii hooyadiis waa illoobi doonaa isaga; jidhkiisana waxaa cuni doona oo macaansan doona dirxiga, Oo mar dambena isaga lama xusuusan doono, Oo kii xaqdaranuna wuxuu u jabi doonaa sida geed oo kale.

²⁰The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, --

²¹Isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.

²¹He that despoileth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow:

²²Oo weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.

²²He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.

²³Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.

²³[God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.

²⁴Iyaga waa la sarraysiiyaa, laakiin in yar dabadeed way wada baabba'aan; Hubaal iyaga waa la hoosaysiiyaa, oo jidka ayaa looga tuuraa sida kuwa kale oo dhan, Oo waxaa loo jaraa sida sabuul hadhuudh oo kale.Oo haddayan saas ahayn, yaa igu caddayn kara inaan beenlow ahay, Oo hadalkaygase yaa ka dhigi kara wax aan waxtar lahayn?

²⁴They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

²⁵Oo haddayan saas ahayn, yaa igu caddayn kara inaan beenlow ahay, Oo hadalkaygase yaa ka dhigi kara wax aan waxtar lahayn?

²⁵If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
