¹Markaas dabadeed Ayuub intuu afkiisa furay ayuu habaaray maalintii uu dhashay.

¹After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.

²Oo Ayuub intuu hadal bilaabay ayuu yidhi:

²And Job answered and said,

³Dharaartii aan dhashay ha baabba'do Iyo habeenkii la yidhi, Wiil baa calool galay.

³Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.

⁴Maalintaasu gudcur ha ahaato; Oo Ilaah yuusan iyada xagga sare kaga fiirsan, Oo nuurkuna yuusan iftiimin.

⁴That day -- let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:

⁵Gudcur iyo hooska dhimashadu iyada mulki ha ka dhigteen. Daruuru ha ku degto, Oo wixii maalin madoobeeya oo dhammu ha cabsiiyeen.

⁵Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

⁶Oo habeenkaasna gudcur weynu ha qabsado, Oo ayaamaha sannadda yuusan ka dhex rayrayn. Oo yuusan soo dhex gelin bilaha tiradooda.

⁶That night -- let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

⁷Bal eeg, habeenkaasu cidla ha noqdo; Oo cod faraxsan yaanu ka dhex yeedhin.

⁷Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;

⁸Oo isaga ha habaareen kuwa maalinta habaaraa, Oo kicin kara bahalka la yidhaahdo Lewiiyaataan.

⁸Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;

⁹Fiidka xiddigihiisu gudcur ha noqdeen, Iftiin ha doondoono oo yuusan helin; Oo innaba yuusan arkin kaaha waaberiga.

⁹Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:

¹⁰Maxaa yeelay, isagu ma uu awdin irdihii maxalka hooyaday, Oo indhahaygana dhib kama uu qarin.

¹⁰Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.

¹¹Bal maxaan u dhiman waayay markaan uurka ka soo baxay? Oo maxaa naftu iiga bixi weyday isla markaan caloosha ka soo baxay?

¹¹Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire?

¹²Bal jilbuhu maxay ii aqbaleen? Amase naasuhu inaan nuugo?

¹²Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?

¹³Waayo, hadda xasilloonaan baan ku jiifi lahaa; Oo waan iska seexan lahaa, oo waan nasan lahaa,

¹³For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

¹⁴Aniga iyo boqorrada iyo lataliyayaasha dunida Oo nafsaddooda taallooyin u dhistay,

¹⁴With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,

¹⁵Iyo amiirradii dahabka lahaan jiray, Oo guryahooda lacagta ka buuxsaday;

¹⁵Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;

¹⁶Bal dhicis qarsoon maxaan u ahaan waayay? Ama sida dhallaan aan innaba iftiinka arag?

¹⁶Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.

¹⁷Halkaas kuwa sharka ahu cidna kuma sii dhibaan, Oo kuwa daallanuna halkaasay ku nastaan.

¹⁷There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.

¹⁸Maxaabiistuna halkaasay dhammaantood ku wada istareexaan, Mana ay maqlaan kii dulmi jiray codkiisa.

¹⁸The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

¹⁹Yar iyo weynba halkaasaa la wada joogaa, Oo addoonkuna sayidkiisa waa ka xor.

¹⁹The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.

²⁰Bal iftiin maxaa loo siiyaa kan dhibaataysan? Maxaase loo nooleeyaa kan naftiisu la qadhaadhaatay,

²⁰Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,

²¹Oo dhimasho u xiisooda, oo ayan u imanayn, Oo daraaddeed dhulka u qodqoda intuu khasnado qarsoon qodi lahaa in ka sii badan,

²¹Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

²²Kuwaasoo aad u reyreeya, Oo farxa hadday qabriga heli karaan?

²²Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? --

²³Bal maxaa iftiin loo siiyaa nin jidkiisu qarsoon yahay, Oo Ilaah deyr ku wareejiyey?

²³To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?

²⁴Waayo, intaanan wax cunin ayaan taahaa, Oo cabaadkayguna wuxuu u shubmaa sida biyo oo kale.

²⁴For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.

²⁵Waayo, hadba wixii aan ka cabsado ayaa igu soo dega, Oo wixii aan ka baqo ayaa ii yimaada.Ma aan istareexsani, mana aan xasillooni, mana aan nasto; Laakiinse hadba dhibaato baa ii timaada.

²⁵For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.

²⁶Ma aan istareexsani, mana aan xasillooni, mana aan nasto; Laakiinse hadba dhibaato baa ii timaada.

²⁶I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.
