Ayuub 11

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

And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

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

Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?

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

Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed?

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

For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

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

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

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 that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that God passeth by [much] of thine iniquity!

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

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?

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)

[It is as] the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)

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

The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader 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 pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?

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

For he knoweth vain men, and seeth wickedness when [man] doth not consider it;

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

Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born [like] the foal of a wild ass.

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

If thou prepare thy heart and stretch out thy hands toward him,

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

If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;

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

Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be stedfast and shalt not fear:

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

For thou shalt forget misery; as waters that are passed away shalt thou remember it;

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

And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning,

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

And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about [thee], thou shalt take rest in safety.

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

Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.

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 wicked shall fail, and [all] refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope [shall be] the breathing out of life.
