¹Ruuxaygii waa tabardarnaaday, cimrigaygiina waa dhammaaday, Oo qabrigu waa ii diyaar.

¹“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

²Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaa ila jooga majaajilowyo, Oo ishayduna waxay fiiro u leedahay ka cadhaysiintooda.

²Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

³Haddaba rahaamad i sii, oo dammiin ii noqo; Bal yaa jooga oo gacanta dhaar iigu dhiibaya?

³“Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

⁴Waayo, qalbigooda waxgarashadii waad ka qarisay, Oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga ma aad sarraysiin doontid.

⁴For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

⁵Kii saaxiibbadiis u yeedha inay maal ka qaybgeliyaan, Carruurtiisu way indha beeli doonaan.

⁵He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶Oo weliba isagu wuxuu iga dhigay wax ay dadku ku halqabsadaan, Oo waxaan noqday mid ay dadku candhuuf ku tufaan.

⁶“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

⁷Indhahaygii murug bay la arag daranyihiin, Oo xubnahaygii oo dhammuna waxay noqdeen sidii hoos oo kale.

⁷My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

⁸Dadkii toolmoonu waxan way la yaabayaan, Oo kan aan xaqa qabinuna wuxuu ku kacayaa cibaadalaawaha.

⁸Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

⁹Laakiinse kii xaq ahu jidkiisa wuu ku sii adkaysan doonaa, Oo kii gacmo nadiifsan lahuna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaysan doonaa.

⁹Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹⁰Laakiinse idinku dhammaantiin bal soo noqda oo ii kaalaya, Oo anna nin xigmad leh idinkama heli doono.

¹⁰But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.

¹¹Cimrigaygii waa dhammaaday, Oo qastigaygii iyo fikirradii qalbigayguba waa baabbe'een.

¹¹My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

¹²Habeenka waxay u beddelaan maalin, Oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Iftiinku waa u dhow yahay gudcurka.

¹²They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

¹³Haddaan She'ool u rajeeyo sida gurigaygii oo kale, Ama haddaan gogoshayda gudcurka ku dhex fidsado,

¹³If I look for Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

¹⁴Oo haddaan qudhunka ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay aabbahay, Oo aan dirxigana ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay hooyaday iyo walaashay,

¹⁴If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’

¹⁵Bal markaas meeday rajadaydu? Oo bal yaase rajadayda arki doona?Waxay hoos ugu dhaadhici doontaa qataarrada She'ool, Markaannu ciidda wada galno.

¹⁵where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶Waxay hoos ugu dhaadhici doontaa qataarrada She'ool, Markaannu ciidda wada galno.

¹⁶Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , or descend together into the dust?”
