¹Markaasaa Rabbigu Ayuub uga jawaabay dabaysha cirwareenta ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

¹And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

²Waa kuma kan talada ku madoobeeya Erayada aan aqoonta lahayn?

²Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

³Haddaba sida nin rag ah dhexda u gunto, Waayo, wax baan ku weyddiinayaa, oo adna waa inaad ii sheegtaa.

³Gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.

⁴Markaan dunida aasaaskeeda dhigay xaggee baad joogtay? Haddaad waxgarad tahay, taas ii sheeg.

⁴Where wast thou when I founded the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁵Haddaadse taqaanid yaa qiyaasteeda amray? Amase yaa xadhiggii lagu qiyaasay ku kor fidiyey?

⁵Who set the measures thereof -- if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

⁶Aasaaskeedase bal xaggee baa lagu dejiyey? Amase yaa dhigay dhagaxa geeska ah

⁶Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,

⁷Markay xiddigaha aroorya isla wada heeseen, Oo ay carruurta Ilaah oo dhammu farxad la qayliyeen?

⁷When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸Amase yaa badda albaabbo ku xidhay markay u soo faruurantay Sidii wax maxal ka soo baxay,

⁸And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb?

⁹Iyo markaan daruurta dharka uga dhigay, Oo aan gudcurka maro lagu duudduubo uga dhigay,

⁹When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it;

¹⁰Oo aan hareeraheeda xad u amray, Oo aan u yeelay qataarro iyo albaabbo,

¹⁰When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,

¹¹Oo aan ku idhi, Ilaa halkan soo gaadh, laakiinse innaba ha soo dhaafin, Oo hirarkaaga kibirka lahu waa inay halkan ku joogsadaan?

¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹²Tan iyo waagii aad dhalatay marna subaxda ma amartay? Waaberigase ma meeshiisaad ogeysiisay,

¹²Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,

¹³Si uu u qabsado dhulka darfihiisa, Oo sharrowyada looga hurgufo?

¹³That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked might be shaken out of it?

¹⁴Waa loo beddelaa sidii dhoobo shaabad ka hoosaysa, Oo wax kastaaba waxay kor uga muuqdaan sidii dhar oo kale,

¹⁴It is changed like the signet-clay; and [all things] stand forth as in a garment:

¹⁵Oo sharrowyadana iftiinkooda waa loo diiday, Oo gacantii sarraysayna waa la jebiyey.

¹⁵And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the uplifted arm is broken.

¹⁶Adigu miyaad badda ilaheeda dhex gashay? Miyaadse moolka salkiisa martay?

¹⁶Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

¹⁷Geerida irdaheeda miyaa laguu muujiyey? Miyaadse aragtay irdaha hooska dhimashada?

¹⁷Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

¹⁸Miyaad garanaysaa dhulka ballaadhkiisa? Haddaad waxaas wada taqaanid ii sheeg.

¹⁸Hath thine understanding compassed the breadths of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.

¹⁹Rugta iftiinka jidka loo maraa waa xaggee? Gudcurkase meeshiisu waa xaggee,

¹⁹Where is the way to where light dwelleth? and the darkness, where is its place,

²⁰Si aad soohdintiisa u martid, Oo aad u garatid wadiiqooyinka gurigiisa loo maro?

²⁰That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house?

²¹Shakila'aan waad taqaan, waayo, adigu wakhtigaas waad dhalanayd Oo cimrigaaguna wuu dheer yahay!

²¹Thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!

²²Adigu miyaad dhex gashay meesha barafka cad lagu kaydiyo? Miyaadse aragtay meesha roobdhagaxyaalaha la dhigo,

²²Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,

²³Kuwaasoo aan u kaydsaday wakhtiga dhibaatada, Iyo maalinta dirirta iyo dagaalka?

²³Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?

²⁴Iftiinka jidkee baa lagu kala qaybiyaa? Dabaysha barise sidee baa dhulka loogu kor firdhiyaa?

²⁴By what way is the light parted, [and] the east wind scattered upon the earth?

²⁵Bal yaa jid u sameeyey biyaha daadka ah, Amase hillaaca onkodka,

²⁵Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;

²⁶Si roob ugu da'o dhul aan binu-aadmina joogin, Iyo cidlada aan ninna degganayn,

²⁶To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man;

²⁷Si uu u dherjiyo dhulka cidlo iyo baabba' ah, Oo uu doog jilicsan uga soo bixiyo?

²⁷To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground], and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth?

²⁸Roobku ma aabbuu leeyahay? Yaase dhalay dhibicyaha sayaxa?

²⁸Hath the rain a father? or who begetteth the drops of dew?

²⁹Barafkuse bal yuu maxalkiisa ka soo baxay? Yaase dhalay sayaxa barafoobay ee cirka ka yimaada?

²⁹Out of whose womb cometh the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who bringeth it forth?

³⁰Biyihii waxay u adkaadeen sidii dhagax oo kale, Oo moolka korkiisiina wuu barafoobay.

³⁰When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.

³¹Adigu miyaad xidhi kartaa ururka xiddigaha ee Toddobaadyada la yidhaahdo? Miyaadse furi kartaa ururka Oriyon la yidhaahdo?

³¹Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

³²Miyaad kartaa inaad xiddigaha Masarood la yidhaahdo xilligooda soo saarto? Miyaadse ururka xiddigaha ee Orsada la yidhaahdo carruurtiisa la kaxayn kartaa?

³²Dost thou bring forth the constellations each in its season? or dost thou guide the Bear with her sons?

³³Miyaad taqaan amarrada samooyinka? Dowladnimadoodana ma dhulkaad ku dhisi kartaa?

³³Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? dost thou determine their rule over the earth?

³⁴Codkaaga miyaad daruuraha kor ugu qaadi kartaa, Si biyo badanu ay kuu daboolaan daraaddeed?

³⁴Dost thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that floods of waters may cover thee?

³⁵Miyaad hillaaca diri kartaa, si ay u tagaan, Oo ay kuugu yidhaahdaan, Waa na kan?

³⁵Dost thou send forth lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

³⁶Bal yaa qalbiga xigmadda geliyey? Yaase maanka waxgarashada siiyey?

³⁶Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the mind?

³⁷Bal yaa daruuraha xigmad ku tirin kara? Yaase qarbeddada samada biyo ka shubi kara,

³⁷Who numbereth the clouds with wisdom? or who poureth out the bottles of the heavens,

³⁸Markii boodhku taallooyin noqdo, Oo ciidduna ay isku dhegto?

³⁸When the dust runneth as into a molten mass, and the clods cleave fast together?

³⁹Miyaad karaysaa inaad gool libaax u ugaadhid? Miyaadse dhal libaax dherjin kartaa,

³⁹Dost thou hunt the prey for the lioness, and dost thou satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

⁴⁰Markay boholahooda ku dhex dhuuntaan, Oo ay hogga u joogaan inay wax gaadaan?Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?

⁴⁰When they crouch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the thicket to lie in wait?

⁴¹Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?

⁴¹Who provideth for the raven his food, when his young ones cry unto ùGod, [and] they wander for lack of meat?
