¹Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,

¹Markaasaa Rabbigu Ayuub uga jawaabay dabaysha cirwareenta ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

²Waa kuma kan talada ku madoobeeya Erayada aan aqoonta lahayn?

³Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!

³Haddaba sida nin rag ah dhexda u gunto, Waayo, wax baan ku weyddiinayaa, oo adna waa inaad ii sheegtaa.

⁴“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

⁴Markaan dunida aasaaskeeda dhigay xaggee baad joogtay? Haddaad waxgarad tahay, taas ii sheeg.

⁵Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?

⁵Haddaadse taqaanid yaa qiyaasteeda amray? Amase yaa xadhiggii lagu qiyaasay ku kor fidiyey?

⁶Whereupon were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,

⁶Aasaaskeedase bal xaggee baa lagu dejiyey? Amase yaa dhigay dhagaxa geeska ah

⁷when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁷Markay xiddigaha aroorya isla wada heeseen, Oo ay carruurta Ilaah oo dhammu farxad la qayliyeen?

⁸“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth from the womb,

⁸Amase yaa badda albaabbo ku xidhay markay u soo faruurantay Sidii wax maxal ka soo baxay,

⁹when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,

⁹Iyo markaan daruurta dharka uga dhigay, Oo aan gudcurka maro lagu duudduubo uga dhigay,

¹⁰marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,

¹⁰Oo aan hareeraheeda xad u amray, Oo aan u yeelay qataarro iyo albaabbo,

¹¹and said, ‘Here you may come, but no further. Here your proud waves shall be stayed?’

¹¹Oo aan ku idhi, Ilaa halkan soo gaadh, laakiinse innaba ha soo dhaafin, Oo hirarkaaga kibirka lahu waa inay halkan ku joogsadaan?

¹²“Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place;

¹²Tan iyo waagii aad dhalatay marna subaxda ma amartay? Waaberigase ma meeshiisaad ogeysiisay,

¹³that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?

¹³Si uu u qabsado dhulka darfihiisa, Oo sharrowyada looga hurgufo?

¹⁴It is changed as clay under the seal, and stands forth as a garment.

¹⁴Waa loo beddelaa sidii dhoobo shaabad ka hoosaysa, Oo wax kastaaba waxay kor uga muuqdaan sidii dhar oo kale,

¹⁵From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.

¹⁵Oo sharrowyadana iftiinkooda waa loo diiday, Oo gacantii sarraysayna waa la jebiyey.

¹⁶“Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?

¹⁶Adigu miyaad badda ilaheeda dhex gashay? Miyaadse moolka salkiisa martay?

¹⁷Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

¹⁷Geerida irdaheeda miyaa laguu muujiyey? Miyaadse aragtay irdaha hooska dhimashada?

¹⁸Have you comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if you know it all.

¹⁸Miyaad garanaysaa dhulka ballaadhkiisa? Haddaad waxaas wada taqaanid ii sheeg.

¹⁹“What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,

¹⁹Rugta iftiinka jidka loo maraa waa xaggee? Gudcurkase meeshiisu waa xaggee,

²⁰that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?

²⁰Si aad soohdintiisa u martid, Oo aad u garatid wadiiqooyinka gurigiisa loo maro?

²¹Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!

²¹Shakila'aan waad taqaan, waayo, adigu wakhtigaas waad dhalanayd Oo cimrigaaguna wuu dheer yahay!

²²Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail,

²²Adigu miyaad dhex gashay meesha barafka cad lagu kaydiyo? Miyaadse aragtay meesha roobdhagaxyaalaha la dhigo,

²³which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

²³Kuwaasoo aan u kaydsaday wakhtiga dhibaatada, Iyo maalinta dirirta iyo dagaalka?

²⁴By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?

²⁴Iftiinka jidkee baa lagu kala qaybiyaa? Dabaysha barise sidee baa dhulka loogu kor firdhiyaa?

²⁵Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm;

²⁵Bal yaa jid u sameeyey biyaha daadka ah, Amase hillaaca onkodka,

²⁶To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man;

²⁶Si roob ugu da'o dhul aan binu-aadmina joogin, Iyo cidlada aan ninna degganayn,

²⁷to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to spring forth?

²⁷Si uu u dherjiyo dhulka cidlo iyo baabba' ah, Oo uu doog jilicsan uga soo bixiyo?

²⁸Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

²⁸Roobku ma aabbuu leeyahay? Yaase dhalay dhibicyaha sayaxa?

²⁹Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?

²⁹Barafkuse bal yuu maxalkiisa ka soo baxay? Yaase dhalay sayaxa barafoobay ee cirka ka yimaada?

³⁰The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.

³⁰Biyihii waxay u adkaadeen sidii dhagax oo kale, Oo moolka korkiisiina wuu barafoobay.

³¹“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

³¹Adigu miyaad xidhi kartaa ururka xiddigaha ee Toddobaadyada la yidhaahdo? Miyaadse furi kartaa ururka Oriyon la yidhaahdo?

³²Can you lead forth the constellations in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

³²Miyaad kartaa inaad xiddigaha Masarood la yidhaahdo xilligooda soo saarto? Miyaadse ururka xiddigaha ee Orsada la yidhaahdo carruurtiisa la kaxayn kartaa?

³³Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?

³³Miyaad taqaan amarrada samooyinka? Dowladnimadoodana ma dhulkaad ku dhisi kartaa?

³⁴“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?

³⁴Codkaaga miyaad daruuraha kor ugu qaadi kartaa, Si biyo badanu ay kuu daboolaan daraaddeed?

³⁵Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are?’

³⁵Miyaad hillaaca diri kartaa, si ay u tagaan, Oo ay kuugu yidhaahdaan, Waa na kan?

³⁶Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

³⁶Bal yaa qalbiga xigmadda geliyey? Yaase maanka waxgarashada siiyey?

³⁷Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of the sky,

³⁷Bal yaa daruuraha xigmad ku tirin kara? Yaase qarbeddada samada biyo ka shubi kara,

³⁸when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?

³⁸Markii boodhku taallooyin noqdo, Oo ciidduna ay isku dhegto?

³⁹“Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

³⁹Miyaad karaysaa inaad gool libaax u ugaadhid? Miyaadse dhal libaax dherjin kartaa,

⁴⁰when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?

⁴⁰Markay boholahooda ku dhex dhuuntaan, Oo ay hogga u joogaan inay wax gaadaan?Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?

⁴¹Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

⁴¹Bal yaa tukaha cunto ku quudiya, Markii dhashiisu Ilaah u qayshadaan, Oo ay cuntola'aan daraaddeed u warwareegaan?
