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 justified?

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

Should thy falsehoods make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

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

For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thy 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 show thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thy iniquity [deserveth].

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 high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)

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

The measure of it [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 shall cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

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

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?

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

For vain man would be wise, though man is born [like] a wild ass's colt.

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

If thou preparest thy heart, and stretchest out thy hands towards him;

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

If iniquity [is] in thy hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

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

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yes, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear:

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

Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:

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

And [thy] age shall be clearer than the noon-day: thou shalt shine forth, 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 be secure, because there is hope; yes, thou shalt dig [about thee], [and] thou 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; yes, many shall make suit to 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 not escape, and their hope [shall be as] the expiration of the breath.
