Ayuub 14
1 Ninkii naagu dhashaba Cimrigiisu waa maalmo yar iyo dhibaato miidhan.
“We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot 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.
We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
3 Haddaba ma mid sidaas oo kalaad indhaha u kala qaadaysaa? Oo ma anigaad xukun ila soo gelaysaa?
[Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
4 Bal yaa wax wasakh ah wax nadiif ah ka soo bixin kara? Xataa mid qudha oo saas yeeli karaa ma jiro.
People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
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 decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
6 Bal ha nastee isaga ka sii jeeso, Ilaa uu cimrigiisa ka dhammaysanayo sida shaqaale maalintiisa u dhammaysto.
So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [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.
If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
8 In kastoo xididkiisu uu ciidda ku dhex gaboobo, Oo ay jirriddiisiina dhulka dhexdiisa ku dhimato,
Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
9 Biyaha urkooda ayuu ku biqli doonaa, Oo waxaa ka soo bixi doona laamo curdan ah oo dhalato la moodo.
but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots 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 when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
11 Biyuhu badda way ka dhammaadaan, Oo webiguna waa gudhaa oo waa iska engegaa,
Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
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.
people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
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)
[“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
14 Mar hadduu nin dhinto, miyuu soo noolaanayaa? Maalmaha dadaalkayga oo dhan waan iska sugi lahaa Ilaa uu isbeddelkaygu yimaado.
When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
15 Waad ii yeedhi lahayd, oo anna waan kuu jawaabi lahaa; Oo adna waxaa damac kaa geli lahaa shuqulkii gacmahaaga.
You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
16 Laakiinse haatan waad tirisaa tallaabooyinkayga, Balse miyaadan dembigayga isha ku hayn?
You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
17 Xadgudubkaygii kolay baa lagu xidhay, Oo xumaantaydiina meel baad ku dhuujisay.
[It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
18 Oo sida xaqiiqada ah buurtii dhacdaa waa baabba'daa, Oo dhagaxiina meeshiisii wuu ka dhaqaaqaa.
“But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
19 Biyuhu dhagaxyaday lisaan, Oo daadkooduna wuxuu qaada ciidda dhulka, Oo adna sidaasoo kalaad u baabbi'isaa binu-aadmiga rajadiisa.
and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
20 Weligaaba waad ka adkaataa isaga, oo isna wuu iska baxaa, Oo jaahiisa waad beddeshaa, oo waad iska dirtaa isaga.
You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
21 Wiilashiisa waa la sharfaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama oga; Oo haddana hoos baa loo ridaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama garto iyaga.
[When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
22 Laakiinse xanuunka jidhkiisa oo keliya buu gartaa, Oo nafsaddiisa oo keliya ayuu u baroortaa.
We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
