Job 23
1 Job replied,
Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 “Just the same, my complaints today remain bitter. In spite of my groaning he is still punishing me.
Xataa maantadan guryankayga cabashada ahu waa qadhaadh yahay, Oo gacanta i saaranuna waa ka sii daran tahay cabashadayda.
3 If only I knew where I could find him so I could go to where he sits in judgment.
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado meeshaan isaga ka heli karo, Si aan kursigiisa ugu imaado!
4 There I would lay out my case before him and present all my arguments in full.
Dacwadayda ayaan hortiisa ku diyaarin lahaa, Oo afkaygana hadallo dood ah baan ka buuxin lahaa.
5 I would discover how he would answer me and learn what he has to say to me.
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado erayada uu iigu jawaabayo, Oo aan garto bal waxa uu igu odhanayo.
6 Would he fight against me using his mighty power? No, he would pay attention to what I have to say.
Ma wuxuu igula diriri lahaa xooggiisa badan? Maya, laakiinse wuu i maqli lahaa.
7 There a good person could reason with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
Kii qummanu halkaasuu isaga kula xaajoon kari lahaa, Oo anna saasaan xaakinkayga uga samatabbixi lahaa weligayba.
8 If I go to the east, he's not there; if I go the west, I don't find him.
Bal eega, hore baan u socdaa, laakiinse isagu halkaas ma joogo, Oo dib baan u socdaa, laakiinse ma aan heli karo.
9 If he's working in the north, I don't perceive him; if he's moving south, I don't 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 Yet he always knows where I'm going. When he has proved me, I will come out shining like gold.
Laakiinse wuu yaqaan jidkaan maro, Oo markuu i tijaabiyo waxaan u soo bixi doonaa sida dahab oo kale.
11 I have kept in step with him; I have followed his way without turning aside.
Cagtaydu waxay ku adkaatay tallaabooyinkiisa, Jidkiisii waan xajiyey, oo dhanna ugama aan leexan.
12 I have not neglected his commands, for I value what he has told me to do more than the food I eat every day.
Dib ugama noqon amarkii bushimihiisa, Oo erayadii afkiisana waxaan u hayay wax ka qiimo badan cuntada aanan ka maarmin.
13 But God is unchangeable—who can turn him from his purposes? He does whatever he wants to do.
Laakiinse wax qudha ayuu goostay, bal yaa ka leexin kara? Oo wixii naftiisu doonaysaba wuu sameeyaa.
14 So he will finish whatever he has planned for me—and he has many plans for me.
Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.
15 That's why I'm terrified at meeting him; when I think of him I tremble with fear.
Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan hortiisa uga naxaa, Oo markaan ka fikiraba waan ka baqaa isaga.
16 God has made me faint-hearted; the Almighty has scared me to death.
Waayo, Ilaah ayaa qalbigayga itaal darreeyey, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iga nixiyey,
17 Yet I'm still here despite the dark—even though I can't see through the utter darkness.
Maxaa yeelay, gudcurka hortiis layma baabbi'in, Oo gudcurkii qarada lahaana wejigayga kama uu daboolin.
