¹Then Job answered,

¹Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.

²Maqla oo warkayga aad u dhegaysta, Oo tanuna ha noqoto wixii aad igu qalbiqabowjisaan.

³Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.

³Bal mar ii oggolaada aan hadlee, Oo kolkii aan hadlo dabadeed iska sii majaajilooda.

⁴As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?

⁴Balse anigu ma dad baan ka ashtakoonayaa? Maxaan u ahaan waayay mid aan dulqaadan?

⁵Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.

⁵Bal i eega, oo yaaba, Oo afkiinna gacanta saara.

⁶When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.

⁶Oo xataa markaan soo xusuusto waan welwelaa, Oo jidhkaygana waa hoog iyo ba'.

⁷“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

⁷Bal maxay kuwa sharka ahu u noolaanayaan? Oo ay u gaboobayaan? Balse maxay xoog badan u yeeshaan?

⁸Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.

⁸Farcankoodu iyagoo la jooga hortooduu ku xoogaystaa, Oo dhashoodiina hortooday ku dhisan yihiin.

⁹Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

⁹Reerahoodu cabsi way ka ammaan galeen, Oo ushii Ilaahna iyaga ma kor saarna.

¹⁰Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.

¹⁰Dibidoodu way dhalaan, oo marnaba madhalays ma noqdaan, Sacyahooduna way dhalaan, dhicis mana keenaan.

¹¹They send forth their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.

¹¹Dhallaankooda dibadday u baxshaan sidii adhi oo kale, Oo carruurtooduna way cayaaraan.

¹²They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

¹²Waxay ku gabyaan daf iyo kataarad, Oo dhawaaqa biibiilaha way ku reyreeyaan.

¹³They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

¹³Cimrigooda waxay ku dhammaystaan barwaaqo, Oo dabadeedna daqiiqad ayay She'ool ku dhaadhacaan.

¹⁴They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.

¹⁴Laakiin waxay Ilaah ku yidhaahdeen, War naga tag, Waayo, dooni mayno aqoonta jidadkaaga.

¹⁵What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’

¹⁵Waa maxay Ilaaha Qaadirka ah, oo aan u adeegayno? Balse maxaa faa'iido ah oo aannu ka helaynaa, haddaan isaga u tukanno?

¹⁶Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁶Bal eeg, barwaaqadoodii gacantooda kuma jirto, Kuwa sharka ahna taladoodu way iga fog tahay.

¹⁷“How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?

¹⁷Immisa jeer baa laambadda kuwa sharka ah la demiyaa? Oo immisa jeer baa belaayo ku kor degtaa? Oo immisa jeer baa Ilaah isagoo cadhaysan xanuun u qaybiyaa?

¹⁸How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?

¹⁸Oo ay sababtaas aawadeed u noqdaan sidii xaab dabayl ka horreeya, Iyo sidii buunshe uu duufaanu kaxeeyo?

¹⁹You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

¹⁹Idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Ilaah xumaantiisii wuxuu u kaydiyaa sharrowga carruurtiisa. Haddaba isagu sharrowga ha ugu abaal gudo si uu laftigiisu u ogaado aawadeed.

²⁰Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

²⁰Indhihiisu ha arkeen halligaaddiisa, Oo isagu ha cabbo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah cadhadiisa.

²¹For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

²¹Waayo, waa maxay farxadda uu reerkiisa ka helo, Markii cimrigiisa dhexda laga gooyo?

²²“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?

²²Bal ma Ilaah baa wax la baraa? Maxaa yeelay, isagaa xukuma xataa kuwa sare.

²³One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

²³Mid baa dhinta isagoo xooggiisu ku dhan yahay, Oo istareexsan oo xasilloon,

²⁴His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.

²⁴Oo aad u buuran, Oo dhuuxa lafihiisuna qoyan yahay.

²⁵Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.

²⁵Oo mid kalena wuxuu ku dhintaa naf qadhaadh, Isagoo aan weligiis wanaag dhedhemin.

²⁶They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.

²⁶Habase yeeshee isku si bay ciidda u dhex jiifsadaan, Oo dirxi baa korkooda daboola.

²⁷“Behold, I know your thoughts, the devices with which you would wrong me.

²⁷Bal eega, anigu waan ogahay fikirradiinna, Iyo xeesha aad qaldan igu hindisaysaan.

²⁸For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’

²⁸Waayo, waxaad tidhaahdaan, War meeh gurigii amiirku? Oo meeday teendhadii sharrowgu ku dhex hoyan jiray?

²⁹Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,

²⁹Miyeydaan weyddiin kuwa jidka mara? Oo miyeydaan garanayn calaamooyinkooda?

³⁰that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

³⁰Iyo in ninkii sharrow ah loo celiyey maalinta belaayada? Iyo in hore loogu sii kaxaynayo maalinta cadhada?

³¹Who shall declare his way to his face? Who shall repay him what he has done?

³¹Bal yaa jidkiisa isaga hortiisa ugu caddayn doona? Oo bal yaa isaga ka abaal marin doona wixii uu sameeyey?

³²Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men shall keep watch over the tomb.

³²Laakiinse isaga waxaa loo qaadi doonaa xabaasha, Oo qabrigiisa waa la ilaalin doonaa.

³³The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him. All men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

³³Waxaa isaga u macaanaan doonta ciidda dooxada, Oo dadka oo dhammuna isagay soo daba kici doonaan, Sida kuwii aan tirada lahayn oo isagii ka horreeyeyba ay u dhinteen.Haddaba bal maxaad si aan waxba tarayn iigu qalbiqabowjinaysaan, Maxaa yeelay, jawaabihiinnii been oo keliya ayaa ku hadhay?

³⁴So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”

³⁴Haddaba bal maxaad si aan waxba tarayn iigu qalbiqabowjinaysaan, Maxaa yeelay, jawaabihiinnii been oo keliya ayaa ku hadhay?
