< Job 15 >
1 Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan isagii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 “If you were truly wise [RHQ], you would not have replied to us by claiming that you know a lot; what you are saying is just a lot of hot air [MET].
War nin xigmad lahu miyuu ku jawaabaa aqoon aan waxba tarayn, Oo bal miyuu calooshiisa ka buuxiyaa dabaysha bari?
3 You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
Miyayse ku habboon tahay inuu ku xaajowdo hadal aan faa'iido lahayn, Amase hadallo uusan innaba wanaag ku samayn karin?
4 [By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
Cabsida waad baabbi'isaa, Oo cibaadadana Ilaah hortiisa waad ka joojisaa.
5 [It is as though] your sins are telling you what to say; you talk like people who will not admit that they are wicked.
Waayo, afkaaga waxaa wax bara xumaantaada, Oo waxaad doorataa carrabka khaa'inka.
6 Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
Haddaba waxaa ku xukuma afkaaga oo aniga ma aha; Hubaal bushimahaaga qudhooda ayaa kugu marag fura.
7 [“Tell me do you know more than everyone else because you think that] you are the first person who was ever born? [SAR, RHQ] Were you born before the hills [were created]?
War ma ninkii binu-aadmiga ugu hor dhashaad tahay? Mase buuraha hortood baad soo dhalatay?
8 Were you listening when God made all his plans? [SAR, RHQ] Or do you think that you are the only person who is wise?
War talada qarsoon oo Ilaah miyaad maqashay? Oo nafsaddaada miyaad xigmad ula hadhay?
9 (What do you know that we do not know?/You do not know anything that we do not know.) [RHQ] You do not understand [RHQ] anything that is not also clear to us.
War maxaad og tahay, oo aannan annagu ogayn? Oo bal maxaad garanaysaa, oo aannan garanayn?
10 My friends and I are also wise; we acquired [wisdom] from old gray-haired people, from people who were born before your father was born.
Waxaa nala jooga rag cirro leh iyo odayaal da' weyn, Oo aabbahaa ka sii fil weyn.
11 God wants to comfort you, and to speak gently/kindly to you; (is that not enough for you/do you need more than that)?
Ma kugu yar yihiin qalbiqabowjiska Ilaah Iyo erayga sida qabow kuula macaamiloodaa?
12 Why do you allow yourself to be (carried away/excited) by your emotions? Why are [you very angry, with the result that] your eyes flash?
Bal maxaa qalbigaagu kuu fogeeyaa? Maxaase indhahaagu u gabgab leeyihiin?
13 You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
Oo aad ruuxaaga Ilaah ugu soo jeedisaa, Oo erayo caynkaas ah aad afkaaga uga soo daysaa?
14 “(How can any person, [including you, ] be sinless?/No person, [including you], can be sinless.) [RHQ] (How can anyone on the earth be [completely] righteous?/No one on the earth can be [completely] righteous.) [RHQ]
Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo uu daahir ahaado? Kii naagu dhashayse muxuu yahay oo uu xaq ahaado?
15 Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
Bal eeg, Ilaah ma aamino kuwiisa quduuska ah, Oo xataa samooyinku hortiisa daahir kuma aha.
16 So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
Haddaba bal sidee buu u daahir ahaanayaa nin karaahiyo iyo wasakhaan ah, Oo dembiga sida biyo u cabbaa!
17 Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
Bal i maqal, wax baan ku tusayaa, Oo wixii aan arkay oo dhan waan kuu sheegayaa;
18 things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
(Kuwaasoo rag xigmad lahu ay awowayaashood ka heleen, Oo ayan qarin,
19 God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
Kuwaasoo dalka keligood la siiyey, Oo uusan shisheeye innaba dhex mari jirin.)
20 It is wicked people who suffer with great pain all the time that they are alive; that is what happens to those who (oppress/act violently toward) others.
Ninkii shar ahu sida naag u foolato oo kale ayuu u xanuunsadaa cimrigiisa oo dhan, Intaas oo ah sannadihii loo kaydiyey kuwa wax dulma.
21 They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
Oo sanqadh cabsi leh ayaa dhegihiisa gasha, Oo wakhtiga barwaaqadana baabbi'iyuhu waa u soo iman doonaa.
22 Wicked people surely know that they will not escape from darkness/death, because [they are sure that someone] is waiting to kill them with a sword.
Isagu ma rumaysto inuu gudcurka ka noqon doono, Iyo inay seeftu isaga sugayso.
23 They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
Meel meel buu cunto u wareegaa isagoo leh, Meeday? Oo wuxuu og yahay inay maalinta gudcurku isaga u diyaar tahay.
24 Because they are afraid of those things happening to them, they are afraid and worry that these things will come to them like [the army of] a king comes to attack [their enemies and cause them to suffer] [SIM].
Waxaa isaga bajiya dhib iyo cidhiidhi, Oo isagay uga adkaadaan sida boqor dagaal isu diyaariyey,
25 [Those things happen to them] because they (shook their fists/dared to fight) against Almighty God, and thought that they were strong enough to defeat him.
Maxaa yeelay, isagu gacantiisuu Ilaah ku taagay, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah kibir buu ku caasiyaa.
26 They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
Wuxuu kula ordaa madax adag Iyo gaashaammadiisa biro ku taagan yihiin.
27 They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
Maxaa yeelay, wejiga ayuu ka cayilay, Oo bowdooyinkana baruur buu ku yeeshay,
28 They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
Oo wuxuu degay magaalooyin baabba' ah, Iyo guryo aan lagu hoyan, Oo u diyaarsan inay tuulmooyin burbur ah noqdaan.
29 But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
Isagu taajir noqon maayo, oo maalkiisuna sii raagi maayo, Oo dhulkana ku sii waari maayo.
30 They will not escape from the darkness [of death]; they will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire and whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
Isagu marnaba gudcur ka bixi maayo, Oo laamihiisa olol baa qallajin doona, Oo neefta afkiisa ayaa qaadi doonta.
31 Since they are very foolish, with the result that they trust in things that are really worthless, then things that are worthless will be all that they get.
Yuusan wax aan waxba tarayn isku hallayn, isagoo iskhiyaaneeya, Waayo, wax aan waxba tarayn ayaa abaalgudkiisa ahaan doona.
32 Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
Wakhtigiisii ka hor buu dhammaan doonaa, Oo laantiisuna ma cagaaroobi doonto.
33 They will be like [SIM] vines whose grapes fall off before they are ripe, like olive trees whose blossoms fall off before they produce any fruit.
Sida canabka ayuu midhihiisa ceedhiin iska ridi doonaa, Oo sida saytuunka ayuu ubaxiisa iska daadin doonaa.
34 Wicked/godless people will not have any descendants, and fires will completely burn up the homes of [those who built those homes using] money they received from bribes.
Waayo, ururka cibaadalaawayaashu wuxuu ahaan doonaa wax aan waxba dhalin, Oo teendhooyinka kuwa laaluushka qaatana dab baa baabbi'in doona.
35 They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
Iyagu waxay uuraystaan belaayo, xumaanna way dhalaan, Oo calooshooduna waxay diyaarisaa khiyaano.
