1Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
2“If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
3Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
4Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
4Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.
5Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
5But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
6War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
6Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
7Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
7“Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
8According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
9Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
9By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
10Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
11The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
12“Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
13Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
14Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
14fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
15Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
15Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
16Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,
16It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
17War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
17‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
18Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
18Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
19Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
19How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
20Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
20Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
21Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
21Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’
