Ayuub 13

1 Bal eega, waxan oo dhan ishaydu waa aragtay, Dhegtayduna waa maqashay oo way garatay.

Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard [them].

2 Wixii aad taqaaniin, anna waan aqaan sidoo kale, Anigu idinkama liito innaba.

And I know all that ye too know; and I have not less understanding than you.

3 Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaan doonayaa inaan Ilaaha Qaadirka ah la hadlo, Oo waxaan jeclahay inaan Ilaah la xaajoodo.

Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will.

4 Laakiinse idinku waxaad tihiin kuwa beenta hindisa, Oo dhammaantiin waxaad tihiin dhakhtarro aan waxtar lahayn.

But ye are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases.

5 Bal maad iska aamustaan! Taasu xigmad bay idiin ahaan lahayd.

But would that ye were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end.

6 Haddaba bal xaajadayda maqla, Oo baryootanka bushimahayga dhegaysta.

But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.

7 War ma Ilaah aawadiis baad xaqdarro wax ugu odhanaysaan, Oo ma isaga aawadiis baad khiyaano ugu hadlaysaan?

Do ye not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him?

8 War ma isagaad u eexanaysaan? Oo ma Ilaah aawadiis baad u diriraysaan?

Or will ye draw back? nay do, ye yourselves be judges.

9 War miyey idiin wanaagsan tahay inuu idin baadho? Mase sida nin loo khiyaaneeyo ayaad isaga u khiyaanaynaysaan?

For [it were] well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things [in your power] ye should attach yourselves to him,

10 Sida xaqiiqada ah haddaad qarsoodi dadka ugu kala eexatan Isagu wuu idin canaanan doonaa.

he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover ye should secretly respect persons,

11 War sow sarraysnaantiisu idin cabsiin mayso? Oo sow baqdintiisu idinku dhici mayso?

shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you?

12 Hadalkiinna xusuusta lahu waa maahmaahyo dambas ah, Oo dhufaysyadiinnuna waa dhufaysyo dhoobo ah.

And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body [like a body] of clay.

13 Haddaba iska aamusa, oo iska kay daaya aan iska hadlee, Oo wixii dhici lahaaba ha igu dheceen.

Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from [mine] anger,

14 Haddaba hilibkayga ayaan ilkahayga ku qaadayaa, Oo noloshaydana gacantaydaan ku ridayaa.

while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

15 Oo in kastoo uu i dilo, weli waan rajaynayaa, Habase yeeshee hortiisaan kula xaajoonayaa.

Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.

16 Oo weliba kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa badbaadadayda, Waayo, nin aan cibaado lahaynu hortiisa iman maayo.

And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him.

17 Hadalkayga aad u dhegaysta, Oo warramiddaydu dhegihiinna ha gasho.

Hear, hear ye my words, for I will declare in your hearing.

18 Bal eega, hadda xaalkayga waan soo hagaajiyey, Oo waan ogahay in xaq layga dhigayo.

Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just.

19 Bal yuu yahay kan ila doodayaa? Waayo, hadda waan iska aamusayaa oo naftuna waa iga dhacaysaa.

For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire?

20 Laba waxyaalood oo keliya ha igu samayn, Oo anna markaas nafsaddayda wejigaaga ka qarin maayo.

But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from thy face.

21 Gacantaada iga fogee, Oo waxyaalahaaga laga cabsadona yaanay i bajin.

Withhold [thine] hand from me: and let not thy fear terrify me.

22 Oo markaas ii yeedh, oo anna waan kuu jawaabi doonaa, Amase anigu aan hadlo oo adigu ii jawaab.

Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: or thou shalt speak, and I will give thee an answer.

23 Bal xumaatooyinkayga iyo dembiyadaydu waa immisa? Bal xadgudubkayga iyo dembigayga i ogeysii.

How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are.

24 Bal maxaad wejigaaga u qarinaysaa, Oo aad iigu haysataa sidii mid cadow kuu ah?

Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, and deemest me thine enemy?

25 Ma waxaad dhibaysaa caleen iska bidaysa? Oo ma waxaad eryanaysaa xaab engegay?

Wilt thou be startled [at me], as [at] a leaf shaken by the wind? or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?

26 Waayo, waxyaalo qadhaadh baad iga qortaa, Oo waxaad i dhaxalsiisaa xumaatooyinkii dhallinyaranimadayda.

for thou hast written evil things against me, and thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth.

27 Oo weliba cagahayga waxaad gelisaa jeebbooyin, Oo jidadkayga oo dhanna waad wada fiirisaa, Cagahaygana xad baad u dhigtaa.

And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; and thou hast watched all my works, and hast penetrated my heels.

28 Oo waxaan la mid ahay wax qudhmay oo baabba'aya, Iyo sida dhar aboor cunay oo kale.

[I am as] that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.
