< Job 22 >

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
Markaasaa Eliifas oo ahaa reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 “Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?
Ma nin baa Ilaah wax u tari kara? Hubaal kii xigmad lahu isagaa wax isu tara.
3 Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless?
Balse ma Ilaaha Qaadirka ah baa xaqnimadaada ku farxa? Mase faa'iido bay u tahay isaga inaad jidkaaga qummaatisid?
4 Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
War ma cabsidaada daraaddeed buu kuu canaantaa? Oo saas daraaddeed miyuu dacwad kuula galaa?
5 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
Sow sharkaagu ma badna? Xumaatooyinkaagu dhammaad ma laha.
6 For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.
Waayo, sababla'aan baad walaalkaa rahaamad uga qaadatay, Oo kuwii arradnaana dharkoodii baad ka mudhuxsatay.
7 You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,
Kii daallanaana ma aadan siin biyo uu cabbo, Oo kii gaajaysnaana cunto baad ka hagratay.
8 while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.
Laakiinse ninkii xoog badnaa isagaa dhulka haystay; Oo ninkii sharaf lahaana isagaa dalka degganaa.
9 You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
Carmallada baad gacan madhnaan ku eriday, Oo agoonta gacmahoodiina waa la jebiyey.
10 Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;
Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa hareerahaaga ku wareegsan dabinno, Oo waxaa ku dhibaya cabsi kedis ah,
11 it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
Ama gudcur aadan waxba ku arki karin, Oo waxaa ku qariya biyo aad u badan.
12 Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
War sow Ilaah kuma jiro samada sare? Oo bal eega xiddigaha dheeraantooda iyo siday u sarreeyaan!
13 Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
Oo adna waxaad leedahay, War Ilaah muxuu yaqaan? Oo gudcurka qarada leh miyuu wax ku dhex xukumi karaa?
14 Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
Waxaa isaga ku wareegsan daruuro qaro waaweyn, si uusan wax u arag, Oo isagu wuxuu ku socdaa wareegga samada.
15 Will you stay on the ancient path that wicked men have trod?
War ma waxaad doonaysaa inaad sii haysatid jidkii hore Ee sharrowyadu ku socon jireen?
16 They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
Iyaba waxaa la dhufsaday wakhtigoodii ka hor, Oo aasaaskoodiina daad baa baabbi'iyey.
17 They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’
Waxay Ilaah ku yidhaahdeen, War naga tag, Bal maxaa Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu nagu samayn karaa?
18 But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
Laakiin isagu wuxuu guryahooda ka buuxiyey waxyaalo wanwanaagsan; Talada sharrowguse way iga fog tahay.
19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
Kuwa xaqa ahu way arkaan oo way farxaan, Oo kuwa aan xaqa qabinuna way ku qoslaan oo ku majaajiloodaan,
20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
Waxayna yidhaahdaan, Sida xaqiiqada ah kuwii nagu kacay waa la baabbi'iyey, Oo kuwoodii hadhayna dab baa liqay.
21 Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
Haddaba isaga la heshii, oo iska nabdoonow, Waayo, sidaasaa wanaag kuugu iman doonaa.
22 Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, sharciga afkiisa ka aqbal, Oo erayadiisana qalbigaaga geli.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents
Waa lagu dhisi doonaa haddaad Ilaaha Qaadirka ah u noqotid, Oo aad xaqdarrada teendhooyinkaaga ka fogaysid.
24 and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
Khasnaddaada waxaad ku xoortaa ciidda, Oo dahabka Oofirna waxaad ku dhex tuurtaa dhagaxyada durdurka,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold and the finest silver for you.
Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ahuna wuxuu kuu noqon doonaa khasnad, Iyo lacag qiime badan.
26 Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
Oo markaasaad Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ku farxi doontaa, Oo wejigaagana Ilaah baad kor ugu qaadi doontaa.
27 You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
Oo isagaad u tukan doontaa, oo isna wuu ku maqli doonaa, Oo adna waxaad bixin doontaa waxyaalihii aad nidartay.
28 Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.
Adiguna wax baad amri doontaa, oo waa laguu adkayn doonaa; Oo jidadkaaguna iftiin bay lahaan doonaan.
29 When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.
Markii hoos laguu tuuro, waxaad odhan doontaa, Waa lay sarraysiinayaa, Oo qofkii hooseeyana isagaa badbaadin doona.
30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
Oo wuxuu samatabbixin doonaa kii aan xaq qabin; Hubaal isaga waxaa lagu samatabbixin doonaa nadiifsanaanta gacmahaaga.
