Ayuub 11

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

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, 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 full of talk be accounted right?

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

Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;

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

And thou hast said: '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 tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

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

Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?

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 high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than the nether-world; 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, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?

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

For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?

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

But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

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

If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him —

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

If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness 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; yea, 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 thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away;

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

And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall 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 be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt look about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

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

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

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 they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.
