Ayuub 11

1 Markaasaa Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,

2 War sow waajib ma aha in laga jawaabo erayada faraha badan? Balse ninka hadalka badan xaq ma laga dhigaa?

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

3 Amase faankaagu miyuu dadka aamusiin karaa? Oo markaad majaajilootid miyaan ninna ku kashifi karin?

Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?

4 Waayo, waxaad leedahay, Cilmigaygu waa daahir, Oo nadiif baan ku ahay indhahaaga hortooda.

You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes.

5 Bal muu Ilaah hadlo! Oo bal muu bushimihiisa furo isagoo kaa gees ah!

But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

6 Oo bal muu ku tuso waxyaalaha qarsoon ee xigmadda ah, Waayo, way badan yihiin. Haddaba bal ogow in Ilaah kaa jisaynayo in ka sii yar ciqaabta dembigaagu istaahilo.

And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!

7 War miyaad baadhi kartaa Ilaah axwaalkiisa moolka dheer? Miyaadse Ilaaha Qaadirka ah si kaamil ah u garan kartaa?

Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?

8 Xigmaddiisu way u sarraysaa sida samada, ee bal maxaad samayn kartaa? Oo She'oolna way ka sii mool dheer tahay, ee maxaad garan kartaa? (Sheol h7585)

They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge; (Sheol h7585)

9 Qiyaasteeduna waa ka sii dheer tahay dhulka, waana ka sii ballaadhan tahay badda oo dhan.

Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.

10 Oo isagu hadduu dhex gudbo, wax kastana xidho, Oo uu garsoorid isugu yeedho, bal yaa isaga hor joogsan kara?

If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?

11 Waayo, wuu gartaa dadka waxmatarayaasha ah, Weliba xumaantana wuu arkaa, sow kama fikirin?

For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it.

12 Laakiinse ninkii waxmatare ahu waxgarasho waa ka madhan yahay, Hubaal dadku wuxuu u dhashaa sida qayl dameerdibadeed,

And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.

13 Haddaad qalbigaaga hagaajisid, Oo aad isaga gacmaha u fidsatid,

But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;

14 Haddii xumaanu gacantaada ku jirto iska fogee, Oo xaqdarrona yaanay teendhooyinkaaga degin.

If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent;

15 Hubaal markaasaad wejigaaga kor u qaadi doontaa isagoo aan ceeb lahayn; Oo waad adkaan doontaa, mana aad baqi doontid,

Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:

16 Waayo, dhibaatadaada waad illoobi doontaa, Oo waxaad u xusuusan doontaa sidii biyo ku dhaafay,

For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:

17 Oo noloshaaduna way ka sii dhalaal dheeraan doontaa hadhkii, Oo in kastoo gudcur jiro, waxay ahaan doontaa sida subaxda.

And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.

18 Oo ammaan baad ahaan doontaa, maxaa yeelay, rajaa jirta, Hareerahaagaad fiirin doontaa, oo nabaadiinona waad ku nasan doontaa.

And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet;

19 Weliba waad jiifsan doontaa, oo waxba kuma cabsiin doonaan; Hubaal kuwa badan ayaa raallinimo kaa baryi doona.

Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;

20 Laakiinse kuwa sharka ahu way indhabbeeli doonaan. Mana ay heli doonaan jid ay ku cararaan, Rajadooduna waxay ahaan doontaa nafta oo ka dhacda.

But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.
