Ayuub 14
1 Ninkii naagu dhashaba Cimrigiisu waa maalmo yar iyo dhibaato miidhan.
Life is short and full of trouble,
2 Wuxuu u soo baxaa sida ubax oo kale, oo haddana waa la gooyaa, Oo wuxuu u cararaa sida hoos oo kale, oo innaba siima raago.
like a flower that blooms and withers, like a passing shadow that soon disappears.
3 Haddaba ma mid sidaas oo kalaad indhaha u kala qaadaysaa? Oo ma anigaad xukun ila soo gelaysaa?
Do you even notice me, God, and why do you have to drag me to court?
4 Bal yaa wax wasakh ah wax nadiif ah ka soo bixin kara? Xataa mid qudha oo saas yeeli karaa ma jiro.
Who can bring something clean of what is unclean? No one.
5 Maxaa yeelay, dadka cimrigiisu waa go'an yahay, oo inta bilood oo uu jirayo tiradoodana adigaa haya, Oo waxaad u dhigtay soohdin uusan dhaafi karin.
You have determined how long we shall live—the number of months, a time limit on our lives.
6 Bal ha nastee isaga ka sii jeeso, Ilaa uu cimrigiisa ka dhammaysanayo sida shaqaale maalintiisa u dhammaysto.
So leave us alone and give us some peace—so like a laborer we could enjoy a few hours of rest at the end of the day.
7 Waayo, geed dheer haddii la gooyo rajuu leeyahay inuu mar kale soo biqlo, Iyo in laantiisa curdanka ahu ayan joogsan.
Even a tree that's cut down has the hope of sprouting again, of sending up shoots and continuing to live.
8 In kastoo xididkiisu uu ciidda ku dhex gaboobo, Oo ay jirriddiisiina dhulka dhexdiisa ku dhimato,
Even though its roots grow old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground,
9 Biyaha urkooda ayuu ku biqli doonaa, Oo waxaa ka soo bixi doona laamo curdan ah oo dhalato la moodo.
just a trickle of water will make it bud and grow branches like a young plant.
10 Laakiinse ninku wuu dhintaa, wuuna iska baabba'aa, Oo ninka naftu waa ka dhacdaa, oo bal xaggee buu joogaa isagu?
But human beings die, their strength dwindles away; they perish, and where are they then?
11 Biyuhu badda way ka dhammaadaan, Oo webiguna waa gudhaa oo waa iska engegaa,
Like water evaporating from a lake and a river that dries up and disappears,
12 Sidaas oo kalaa dadku u jiifsada oo mana uu kaco, Oo jeeray samooyinku wada baabba'aan iyagu sooma toosi doonaan, Oo hurdadoodana kama kici doonaan.
so human beings lie down and don't get up again. Until the heavens cease to exist they will not awake from their sleep.
13 Hahe bal maad She'ool igu qarisid, Oo bal maad meel qarsoon igu haysid ilaa cadhadaadu dhaafto, Oo bal maad wakhti go'an ii qabatid, oo aad i soo xusuusatid! (Sheol h7585)
I wish you would hide me in Sheol; conceal me there until your anger is gone. Set a definite time for me there, and remember me! (Sheol h7585)
14 Mar hadduu nin dhinto, miyuu soo noolaanayaa? Maalmaha dadaalkayga oo dhan waan iska sugi lahaa Ilaa uu isbeddelkaygu yimaado.
Will the dead live again? Then I would have hope through all my time of trouble until my release comes.
15 Waad ii yeedhi lahayd, oo anna waan kuu jawaabi lahaa; Oo adna waxaa damac kaa geli lahaa shuqulkii gacmahaaga.
You would call and I would answer you; you would long for me, the being that you made.
16 Laakiinse haatan waad tirisaa tallaabooyinkayga, Balse miyaadan dembigayga isha ku hayn?
Then you would look after me and wouldn't be watching me to see if I sinned.
17 Xadgudubkaygii kolay baa lagu xidhay, Oo xumaantaydiina meel baad ku dhuujisay.
My sins would be sealed up in a bag and you would cover my guilt.
18 Oo sida xaqiiqada ah buurtii dhacdaa waa baabba'daa, Oo dhagaxiina meeshiisii wuu ka dhaqaaqaa.
But just as the mountains crumble and fall, and the rocks tumble down;
19 Biyuhu dhagaxyaday lisaan, Oo daadkooduna wuxuu qaada ciidda dhulka, Oo adna sidaasoo kalaad u baabbi'isaa binu-aadmiga rajadiisa.
as water wears away the stones, as floods wash away the soil, so you destroy the hope people have.
20 Weligaaba waad ka adkaataa isaga, oo isna wuu iska baxaa, Oo jaahiisa waad beddeshaa, oo waad iska dirtaa isaga.
You continually overpower them and they pass away; you distort their faces in death and send them away.
21 Wiilashiisa waa la sharfaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama oga; Oo haddana hoos baa loo ridaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama garto iyaga.
Their children may become important or fall from their positions, but they don't know or see any of this.
22 Laakiinse xanuunka jidhkiisa oo keliya buu gartaa, Oo nafsaddiisa oo keliya ayuu u baroortaa.
As people die they only know their own pain and are sad for themselves.”
