¹Oo weliba Eliihuu wuu sii jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,

¹Moreover Elihu answered and said,

²Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa in taasu xaq tahay, Amase ma waxaad leedahay, Xaqnimadaydu way ka sii badan tahay tan Ilaah?

²Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than ùGod's?

³Miyey kugu habboon tahay inaad tidhaahdid, Maxay ii taraysaa? Oo waa maxay faa'iidada aan ka helayo oo ka sii badan haddaan dembaabay?

³For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?

⁴Haddaba waxaan u jawaabayaa Adiga iyo saaxiibbadaada kula jiraba.

⁴I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.

⁵Bal indhahaaga kor u qaad oo samooyinka eeg, Oo bal daruuraha kaa sarreeya fiiri.

⁵Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

⁶Haddaad dembaabtay maxaa xumaan ah oo aad yeeshaa? Oo xadgudubyadaadu hadday bataanse maxaad isaga ku samaysaa?

⁶If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

⁷Haddaad xaq tahayse bal maxaad isaga siisaa? Isaguse muxuu gacantaada ka helaa?

⁷If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?

⁸Xumaantaadu waxay wax u dhintaa nin sidaadoo kale ah, Oo xaqnimadaaduna waxay wax ku tartaa binu-aadmiga.

⁸Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.

⁹Dulmiga ku batay daraaddiis ayay u qayliyaan, Oo kan xoogga badan gacantiisa daraaddeed ayay caawimaad ugu qayshadaan.

⁹By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:

¹⁰Laakiinse ninna ma yidhaahdo, Meeh Ilaahii i abuuray, Oo habeenkii gabayo i siiya,

¹⁰But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,

¹¹Oo wax na bara in ka sii badan xayawaanka dunida jooga, Oo weliba naga sii xigmad badiya haadda samada duusha?

¹¹Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?

¹²Dadka sharka ah kibirkooda daraaddiis Ayay iyagu halkaas uga qayliyaan, laakiinse ninna uma jawaabo.

¹²There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.

¹³Hubaal Ilaah maqli maayo wax aan waxba ahayn, Oo Kan Qaadirka ahuna innaba ka fiirsan maayo.

¹³Surely ùGod will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

¹⁴In kastoo aad tidhaahdaa, Isaga ma arko, Dacwadii isagay hor taal, oo adna waa inaad isaga sugtaa.

¹⁴Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

¹⁵Laakiinse haatan, isagu cadhadiisii kuma uu soo booqan, Oo xumaantana si weyn ugama uu fikiro;Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaa Ayuub hadalka aan waxtarka lahayn afkiisa ugu furaa, Oo isagoo aan aqoon lahayn ayuu erayo badiyaa.

¹⁵But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?

¹⁶Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaa Ayuub hadalka aan waxtarka lahayn afkiisa ugu furaa, Oo isagoo aan aqoon lahayn ayuu erayo badiyaa.

¹⁶For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
