1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
1Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan isagii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
2War nin xigmad lahu miyuu ku jawaabaa aqoon aan waxba tarayn, Oo bal miyuu calooshiisa ka buuxiyaa dabaysha bari?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
3Miyayse ku habboon tahay inuu ku xaajowdo hadal aan faa'iido lahayn, Amase hadallo uusan innaba wanaag ku samayn karin?
4Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
4Cabsida waad baabbi'isaa, Oo cibaadadana Ilaah hortiisa waad ka joojisaa.
5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
5Waayo, afkaaga waxaa wax bara xumaantaada, Oo waxaad doorataa carrabka khaa'inka.
6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
6Haddaba waxaa ku xukuma afkaaga oo aniga ma aha; Hubaal bushimahaaga qudhooda ayaa kugu marag fura.
7“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
7War ma ninkii binu-aadmiga ugu hor dhashaad tahay? Mase buuraha hortood baad soo dhalatay?
8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
8War talada qarsoon oo Ilaah miyaad maqashay? Oo nafsaddaada miyaad xigmad ula hadhay?
9What do you know, that we don’t know? What do you understand, which is not in us?
9War maxaad og tahay, oo aannan annagu ogayn? Oo bal maxaad garanaysaa, oo aannan garanayn?
10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father.
10Waxaa nala jooga rag cirro leh iyo odayaal da' weyn, Oo aabbahaa ka sii fil weyn.
11Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
11Ma kugu yar yihiin qalbiqabowjiska Ilaah Iyo erayga sida qabow kuula macaamiloodaa?
12Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
12Bal maxaa qalbigaagu kuu fogeeyaa? Maxaase indhahaagu u gabgab leeyihiin?
13That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
13Oo aad ruuxaaga Ilaah ugu soo jeedisaa, Oo erayo caynkaas ah aad afkaaga uga soo daysaa?
14What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
14Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo uu daahir ahaado? Kii naagu dhashayse muxuu yahay oo uu xaq ahaado?
15Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
15Bal eeg, Ilaah ma aamino kuwiisa quduuska ah, Oo xataa samooyinku hortiisa daahir kuma aha.
16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
16Haddaba bal sidee buu u daahir ahaanayaa nin karaahiyo iyo wasakhaan ah, Oo dembiga sida biyo u cabbaa!
17“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare:
17Bal i maqal, wax baan ku tusayaa, Oo wixii aan arkay oo dhan waan kuu sheegayaa;
18(Which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
18(Kuwaasoo rag xigmad lahu ay awowayaashood ka heleen, Oo ayan qarin,
19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
19Kuwaasoo dalka keligood la siiyey, Oo uusan shisheeye innaba dhex mari jirin.)
20the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
20Ninkii shar ahu sida naag u foolato oo kale ayuu u xanuunsadaa cimrigiisa oo dhan, Intaas oo ah sannadihii loo kaydiyey kuwa wax dulma.
21A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
21Oo sanqadh cabsi leh ayaa dhegihiisa gasha, Oo wakhtiga barwaaqadana baabbi'iyuhu waa u soo iman doonaa.
22He doesn’t believe that he shall return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
22Isagu ma rumaysto inuu gudcurka ka noqon doono, Iyo inay seeftu isaga sugayso.
23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23Meel meel buu cunto u wareegaa isagoo leh, Meeday? Oo wuxuu og yahay inay maalinta gudcurku isaga u diyaar tahay.
24Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
24Waxaa isaga bajiya dhib iyo cidhiidhi, Oo isagay uga adkaadaan sida boqor dagaal isu diyaariyey,
25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;
25Maxaa yeelay, isagu gacantiisuu Ilaah ku taagay, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah kibir buu ku caasiyaa.
26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers;
26Wuxuu kula ordaa madax adag Iyo gaashaammadiisa biro ku taagan yihiin.
27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
27Maxaa yeelay, wejiga ayuu ka cayilay, Oo bowdooyinkana baruur buu ku yeeshay,
28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
28Oo wuxuu degay magaalooyin baabba' ah, Iyo guryo aan lagu hoyan, Oo u diyaarsan inay tuulmooyin burbur ah noqdaan.
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
29Isagu taajir noqon maayo, oo maalkiisuna sii raagi maayo, Oo dhulkana ku sii waari maayo.
30He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches. By the breath of God’s mouth shall he go away.
30Isagu marnaba gudcur ka bixi maayo, Oo laamihiisa olol baa qallajin doona, Oo neefta afkiisa ayaa qaadi doonta.
31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward.
31Yuusan wax aan waxba tarayn isku hallayn, isagoo iskhiyaaneeya, Waayo, wax aan waxba tarayn ayaa abaalgudkiisa ahaan doona.
32It shall be accomplished before his time. His branch shall not be green.
32Wakhtigiisii ka hor buu dhammaan doonaa, Oo laantiisuna ma cagaaroobi doonto.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive tree.
33Sida canabka ayuu midhihiisa ceedhiin iska ridi doonaa, Oo sida saytuunka ayuu ubaxiisa iska daadin doonaa.
34For the company of the godless shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
34Waayo, ururka cibaadalaawayaashu wuxuu ahaan doonaa wax aan waxba dhalin, Oo teendhooyinka kuwa laaluushka qaatana dab baa baabbi'in doona.Iyagu waxay uuraystaan belaayo, xumaanna way dhalaan, Oo calooshooduna waxay diyaarisaa khiyaano.
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
35Iyagu waxay uuraystaan belaayo, xumaanna way dhalaan, Oo calooshooduna waxay diyaarisaa khiyaano.
