¹Oo haddana Ayuub hadalkiisuu sii waday, oo wuxuu yidhi,

¹And Job continued his parable and said,

²Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ahaado sidii waayihii hore, Iyo sidii aan ahaan jiray markii Ilaah i dhawri jiray,

²Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when +God preserved me;

³Markay laambaddiisu madaxayga ku ifin jirtay, Oo aan nuurkiisa gudcurka ku dhex mari jiray,

³When his lamp shone over my head, [and] by his light I walked through darkness;

⁴Markii aan xoog lahaan jiray, Oo qarsoodiga Ilaahna teendhadayda saarnaan jiray,

⁴As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret counsel of +God was over my tent,

⁵Markii Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu ila jiri jiray, Oo carruurtayduna ay hareerahayga joogi jireen,

⁵When the Almighty was yet with me, my young men round about me;

⁶Markay tallaabooyinkaygu subagga la barwaaqoobi jireen, Oo ay webiyaasha saliidda ahu dhagaxa iiga soo shubmi jireen!

⁶When my steps were bathed in milk, and the rock poured out beside me rivers of oil! ...

⁷Markaan magaalada iriddeeda u bixi jiray, Oo aan kursigayga meel bannaan ku diyaarin jiray.

⁷When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway,

⁸Dhallinyaradu intay i arkaan ayay dhuuman jireen, Oo odayaashuna intay sara joogsadaan ayay istaagi jireen,

⁸The young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged arose [and] stood up;

⁹Amiirraduna intay hadalka joojiyaan, Ayay afka gacanta saari jireen.

⁹Princes refrained from talking, and laid the hand on their mouth;

¹⁰Ragga gobta ahuna way aamusi jireen, Oo carrabkoodiina dhabxanagguu ku dhegi jiray.

¹⁰The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

¹¹Waayo, markii dhegu i maqasho, way ii ducayn jirtay, Oo iluna markay i aragto, way ii marag furi jirtay.

¹¹When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me, and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me;

¹²Maxaa yeelay, waxaan samatabbixin jiray miskiinka qaylinaya, Iyo weliba agoonka aan wax u kaalmeeya lahayn.

¹²For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper.

¹³Ka halligaadda ku dhow ducadiisa ayaa igu soo degi jirtay, Oo ta carmalka ahna qalbigeeda waan ka farxin jiray ilaa ay gabay la rayrayso.

¹³The blessing of him that was perishing came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

¹⁴Waxaan huwan jiray xaqnimo, oo iyana dhar bay ii noqon jirtay, Oo caddaaladdayduna waxay ii ahaan jirtay sida khamiis iyo cimaamad oo kale.

¹⁴I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.

¹⁵Kuwa indhaha la' indho baan u ahaan jiray, Kuwa curyaanka ahna cago baan u ahaan jiray.

¹⁵I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame;

¹⁶Aabbaan u ahaan jiray saboolka baahan, Oo ka aanan aqoonna xaalkiisa waan baadhi jiray.

¹⁶I was a father to the needy, and the cause which I knew not I searched out;

¹⁷Ka xaqa daran daamankiisa waan jebin jiray, Oo wixii uu dhufsadana ilkihiisaan ka soo bixin jiray.

¹⁷And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

¹⁸Markaasaan is-idhi, Buulkaygaan ku dhex dhiman doonaa, Oo cimrigayguna wuxuu u badan doonaa sida cammuudda oo kale.

¹⁸And I said, I shall die in my nest, and multiply my days as the sand;

¹⁹Xididkaygu biyaha xaggooduu u faafayaa, Oo laamahaygana habeenkii oo dhan waxaa saaran sayax.

¹⁹My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew will lie all night on my branch;

²⁰Sharaftaydu way igu cusub tahay, Oo qaansadayduna gacantayday ku cusboonaatay.

²⁰My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow be renewed in my hand.

²¹Dadku dhegtuu ii dhigi jiray, oo i sugi jiray, Oo taladayda aawadeedna way u aamusi jireen.

²¹Unto me they listened, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel:

²²Weligood igama ay daba hadlin, Oo hadalkayguna korkooduu ku soo dhibci jiray.

²²After my words they spoke not again, and my speech dropped upon them;

²³Oo waxay ii dhawri jireen sidii roobka oo kale, Oo waxay afkooda u kala furi jireen sidii roobka dambe loo sugo.

²³And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

²⁴Waan u af caddayn jiray markay qalbi jabaan, Oo nuurkii jaahaygana hoos uma ay tuuri jirin.Waxaan dooran jiray jidkooda, oo sida nin madax ah ayaan u fadhiisan jiray, Oo waxaan u dhaqmi jiray sidii boqor ciidan dhex fadhiya, Iyo sidii mid u tacsiyeeya kuwa baroorta.

²⁴[If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and they troubled not the serenity of my countenance.

²⁵Waxaan dooran jiray jidkooda, oo sida nin madax ah ayaan u fadhiisan jiray, Oo waxaan u dhaqmi jiray sidii boqor ciidan dhex fadhiya, Iyo sidii mid u tacsiyeeya kuwa baroorta.

²⁵I chose their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth mourners.
