1Markaasaa Ayuub jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,
1Then Job answered,
2Hahe haddii dhibkayga la miisaami lahaa, Oo masiibadayda kafado la wada saari lahaa!
2“Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3Wuu ka sii cuslaan lahaa cammuudda badaha, Sidaas daraaddeed hadalkaygii degdeg buu noqday.
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore have my words been rash.
4Waayo, Ilaaha Qaadirka ah fallaadhihiisii ayaa igu dhex jira, Oo naftayduna waabaydoodii way cabbaysaa, Oo Ilaah cabsiintiisiina anigay igu soo kacdaa.
4For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5Dameerdibadeedku miyuu ciyaa markuu caws haysto? Dibiguse miyuu ciyaa markii cunto la siiyo?
5Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6Wixii aan dhadhan lahayn miyaa cusbola'aan la cuni karaa? Ukunta xabkeeduse miyuu dhadhan leeyahay?
6Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7Naftaydu way diidaa inay taabato, Waxay ii yihiin sida cunto la naco oo kale.
7My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
8Hahe bal maan helo waxa aan u baryootamo, Oo Ilaah bal muu i siiyo waxa aan u xiisoodo!
8“Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
9Oo xataa Ilaah bal muu iska jeclaado inuu i burburiyo, Oo bal muu gacantiisa iga sii daayo oo i baabbi'iyo!
9even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10Markaas waan istareexi lahaaye, Oo waxaan u adkaysan lahaa xanuun aan ii tudhayn, Waayo, ma aanan diidin Kan Quduuska ah erayadiisii.
10Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11Bal xooggaygu waa maxay inaan sugo aawadeed? Aakhirkayguse waa maxay inaan dulqaato aawadeed?
11What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
12War xooggaygu ma xoogga dhagaxyada baa? Mise jidhkaygu ma naxaas baa?
12Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
13War sow ma aha inaanan iscaawiyi karayn? Sowse xigmaddu igama fogaan?
13Isn’t it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?
14Kii diyaar u ah inuu qalbi jabo waa in saaxiibkiis u naxariisto Waaba intaasoo uu ka tago cabsida Ilaaha Qaadirka ahe.
14“To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15Walaalahay waa u khiyaano badnaayeen sida durdur oo kale, Sida biyaha durdurrada ee iska baabba'a,
15My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
16Kuwaasoo barafka la madoobaaday, Oo uu barafka cad isku qariyo.
16Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
17Markay qorraxoodaan way libdhaan, Oo markay kululaadaanna meeshooday ka baabba'aan.
17In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18Kuwa safraa gees bay uga leexdaan, Waxay u baxaan xagga cidlada oo halkaasay ku dhintaan.
18The caravans that travel beside them turn aside. They go up into the waste, and perish.
19Waxaa fiiriyey kuwa Teemaa ka safray, Oo socotooyinkii Shebaa ayaa fishay.
19The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20Way ceeboobeen, waayo, way rajeeyeen, Halkaasay yimaadeen, oo way hungoobeen.
20They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
21Waayo, hadda idinku sidaasaad ii noqoteen, Waxaad aragteen belaayo, waanad baqdeen.
21For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
22Bal anigu miyaan idhi, Wax i sii? Amase, Maalkaaga hadiyad iiga keen?
22Did I say, ‘Give to me?’ or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance?’
23Amase, Cadowga gacantiisa iga samatabbixi? Amase, Iga furo gacanta kan i dulma?
23or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?’ or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?’
24Bal wax i bar, oo anna waan iska aamusayaa; Oo i garansii wixii aan ku qaldamay.
24“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25Erayo runu xoog badanaa! Laakiinse bal canaantiinna muranka ahu maxay caddaysaa?
25How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
26Ma waxaad u malaynaysaan inaad erayo canaanataan? Maxaa yeelay, kii quustay hadalkiisu waa sida dabayl oo kale.
26Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
27Waxaad saami u ridan lahaydeen maalka agoonta, Oo saaxiibkiinna waad ka faa'iidaysan lahaydeen.
27Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28Haddaba raalli ahaada oo bal i fiiriya, Waayo, sida runta ah been idiin sheegi maayo.
28Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I shall not lie to your face.
29Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye iska noqda, yaan caddaaladla'aanu dhicin, Ee mar kale iska noqda, waayo, xaalkaygu waa xaq.War ma caddaaladla'aan baa carrabkayga saaran? Mase carrabkaygaan waxyaalo xunxun dhadhamin karin?
29Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
30War ma caddaaladla'aan baa carrabkayga saaran? Mase carrabkaygaan waxyaalo xunxun dhadhamin karin?
30Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
