Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 Hast you been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of your words?
Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
3 For whereas you have instructed many, and have strengthened the hands of the weak one,
Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
4 and have supported the failing with words, and have imparted courage to feeble knees.
Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
5 Yet now [that] pain has come upon you, and touched you, you are troubled.
Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
6 Is not your fear [founded] in folly, your hope also, and the mischief of your way?
War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
7 Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?
Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
8 Accordingly as I have seen men plowing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.
Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
9 They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.
Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
10 The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.
Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
11 The old lion has perished for lack of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.
Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
12 But if there had been any truth in your words, none of these evils would have befallen you. Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him?
Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
13 But [as when] terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,
Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
14 horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake.
Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
15 And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered.
Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
16 I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, [saying],
Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,
17 What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?
War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
18 Whereas he trust not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.
Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
19 But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.
Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
20 And from the morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they can’t help themselves.
Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
21 For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.
Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
