< Job 23 >

1 Then Job answered, and said:
Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
Xataa maantadan guryankayga cabashada ahu waa qadhaadh yahay, Oo gacanta i saaranuna waa ka sii daran tahay cabashadayda.
3 Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado meeshaan isaga ka heli karo, Si aan kursigiisa ugu imaado!
4 I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
Dacwadayda ayaan hortiisa ku diyaarin lahaa, Oo afkaygana hadallo dood ah baan ka buuxin lahaa.
5 That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado erayada uu iigu jawaabayo, Oo aan garto bal waxa uu igu odhanayo.
6 I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
Ma wuxuu igula diriri lahaa xooggiisa badan? Maya, laakiinse wuu i maqli lahaa.
7 Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
Kii qummanu halkaasuu isaga kula xaajoon kari lahaa, Oo anna saasaan xaakinkayga uga samatabbixi lahaa weligayba.
8 But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
Bal eega, hore baan u socdaa, laakiinse isagu halkaas ma joogo, Oo dib baan u socdaa, laakiinse ma aan heli karo.
9 If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.
Oo waxaan tagaa xagga bidix markuu shaqaynayo, laakiinse uma aan jeedi karo; Oo wuxuu ku dhuuntaa xagga midig laakiinse kama arki karo.
10 But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
Laakiinse wuu yaqaan jidkaan maro, Oo markuu i tijaabiyo waxaan u soo bixi doonaa sida dahab oo kale.
11 My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
Cagtaydu waxay ku adkaatay tallaabooyinkiisa, Jidkiisii waan xajiyey, oo dhanna ugama aan leexan.
12 I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
Dib ugama noqon amarkii bushimihiisa, Oo erayadii afkiisana waxaan u hayay wax ka qiimo badan cuntada aanan ka maarmin.
13 For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.
Laakiinse wax qudha ayuu goostay, bal yaa ka leexin kara? Oo wixii naftiisu doonaysaba wuu sameeyaa.
14 And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.
Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.
15 And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.
Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan hortiisa uga naxaa, Oo markaan ka fikiraba waan ka baqaa isaga.
16 God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.
Waayo, Ilaah ayaa qalbigayga itaal darreeyey, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iga nixiyey,
17 For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
Maxaa yeelay, gudcurka hortiis layma baabbi'in, Oo gudcurkii qarada lahaana wejigayga kama uu daboolin.
