¹Markaasaa Bildad oo ahaa reer Shuuxii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

¹And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

²Ilaa goormaad waxyaalahan ku hadlaysaa? Oo ilaa goormaa erayada afkaagu ahaanayaan sida dabayl xoog badan?

²How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?

³War ma Ilaah baa garsooridda qalloociya? Mase Ilaaha Qaadirka ah baa caddaaladda qalloociya?

³Doth ùGod pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?

⁴Haddii carruurtaadii ay isaga ku dembaabeen, Wuxuu iyagii u gacangeliyey xadgudubkoodii.

⁴If thy children have sinned against him, he hath also given them over into the hand of their transgression.

⁵Haddaad aad u barido Ilaaha, Oo aad baryootankaaga hor dhigto Qaadirka,

⁵If thou seek earnestly unto ùGod, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

⁶Haddaad daahir ahaan lahayd oo aad qummanaan lahayd, Sida xaqiiqada ah haatan wuu kuu toosi lahaa, Oo hoyga xaqnimadaadana wuu barwaaqayn lahaa.

⁶If thou be pure and upright, surely now he will awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous;

⁷Oo in kastoo bilowgaagii yaraa, Haddana ugudambaystaadu aad bay u weynaan lahayd.

⁷And though thy beginning was small, yet thine end shall be very great.

⁸Waan ku baryayaaye bal qarniyadii hore wax weyddii, Oo bal soo garwaaqso waxyaalihii ay awowayaashood fatasheen,

⁸For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;

⁹(Waayo, innagu waxaynu nahay qoonkii shalayto oo qudha, oo waxba garan mayno, Maxaa yeelay, cimrigeenna aan dhulka joognaa waa sida hoos oo kale.)

⁹For we are [but] of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.

¹⁰War sow iyagu wax kuma bari doonaan, oo wax kuuma sheegi doonaan, Oo sow qalbigooda kaalama hadli doonaan?

¹⁰Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

¹¹War miyaa cawdu ka bixi kartaa meel aan dhoobo lahayn? Cawsduurkuse miyuu bixi karaa biyola'aantood?

¹¹Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?

¹²Intuu weli cagaarka yahay oo aan la gooyn, Wuu ka hor engegaa dhalatada kale oo dhan.

¹²Whilst it is yet in its greenness [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] grass.

¹³Kuwa Ilaah illooba oo dhan wadiiqooyinkoodu waa sidaas oo kale, Oo ninkii cibaadalaawe ah rajadiisuna way baabba'daa.

¹³So are the paths of all that forget ùGod; and the profane man's hope shall perish,

¹⁴Oo kaas kalsoonaantiisu way kala jajabtaa, Oo aaminaaddiisuna waa sida xuubcaaro oo kale.

¹⁴Whose confidence shall be cut off, and his reliance is a spider's web.

¹⁵Wuxuu ku tiirsan doonaa gurigiisa, laakiinse gurigiisu ma taagnaan doono. Aad buu u xajin doonaa, laakiinse siima uu adkaan doono innaba.

¹⁵He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.

¹⁶Isagu waa ku cagaar qorraxda, Oo laamihiisa curdanka ahuna waxay ka soo kor baxaan beertiisa.

¹⁶He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden;

¹⁷Oo xididdadiisuna waxay isku duuduubaan taallo dhagaxyo ah, Oo wuxuu fiiriyaa meesha dhagaxyada.

¹⁷His roots are entwined about the stoneheap; he seeth the place of stones.

¹⁸Isaga haddii meeshiisa laga baabbi'iyo, Markaasay inkiri doontaa isaga, oo waxay odhan doontaa, Anigu kumaba arag.

¹⁸If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!

¹⁹Farxadda jidkiisu waa sidaas, Oo waxaa dhulka ka soo bixi doona kuwa kaleto.

¹⁹Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.

²⁰Ilaah marnaba xoori maayo nin qumman, Kuwa sharka falase tiirin maayo.

²⁰Behold, ùGod will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.

²¹Wuxuu afkaaga ka buuxin doonaa qosol, Bushimahaagana qaylo farxad leh,Kuwa ku neceb waxay xidhan doonaan ceeb, Teendhada sharrowyaduna mar dambe siima jiri doonto.

²¹Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting,

²²Kuwa ku neceb waxay xidhan doonaan ceeb, Teendhada sharrowyaduna mar dambe siima jiri doonto.

²²They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked be no more.
