Ayuub 15
1 Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan isagii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 War nin xigmad lahu miyuu ku jawaabaa aqoon aan waxba tarayn, Oo bal miyuu calooshiisa ka buuxiyaa dabaysha bari?
“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
3 Miyayse ku habboon tahay inuu ku xaajowdo hadal aan faa'iido lahayn, Amase hadallo uusan innaba wanaag ku samayn karin?
Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
4 Cabsida waad baabbi'isaa, Oo cibaadadana Ilaah hortiisa waad ka joojisaa.
But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
5 Waayo, afkaaga waxaa wax bara xumaantaada, Oo waxaad doorataa carrabka khaa'inka.
For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6 Haddaba waxaa ku xukuma afkaaga oo aniga ma aha; Hubaal bushimahaaga qudhooda ayaa kugu marag fura.
Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
7 War ma ninkii binu-aadmiga ugu hor dhashaad tahay? Mase buuraha hortood baad soo dhalatay?
Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
8 War talada qarsoon oo Ilaah miyaad maqashay? Oo nafsaddaada miyaad xigmad ula hadhay?
Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
9 War maxaad og tahay, oo aannan annagu ogayn? Oo bal maxaad garanaysaa, oo aannan garanayn?
What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10 Waxaa nala jooga rag cirro leh iyo odayaal da' weyn, Oo aabbahaa ka sii fil weyn.
Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
11 Ma kugu yar yihiin qalbiqabowjiska Ilaah Iyo erayga sida qabow kuula macaamiloodaa?
Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
12 Bal maxaa qalbigaagu kuu fogeeyaa? Maxaase indhahaagu u gabgab leeyihiin?
Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13 Oo aad ruuxaaga Ilaah ugu soo jeedisaa, Oo erayo caynkaas ah aad afkaaga uga soo daysaa?
as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
14 Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo uu daahir ahaado? Kii naagu dhashayse muxuu yahay oo uu xaq ahaado?
What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Bal eeg, Ilaah ma aamino kuwiisa quduuska ah, Oo xataa samooyinku hortiisa daahir kuma aha.
If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
16 Haddaba bal sidee buu u daahir ahaanayaa nin karaahiyo iyo wasakhaan ah, Oo dembiga sida biyo u cabbaa!
how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
17 Bal i maqal, wax baan ku tusayaa, Oo wixii aan arkay oo dhan waan kuu sheegayaa;
Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
18 (Kuwaasoo rag xigmad lahu ay awowayaashood ka heleen, Oo ayan qarin,
what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
19 Kuwaasoo dalka keligood la siiyey, Oo uusan shisheeye innaba dhex mari jirin.)
to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20 Ninkii shar ahu sida naag u foolato oo kale ayuu u xanuunsadaa cimrigiisa oo dhan, Intaas oo ah sannadihii loo kaydiyey kuwa wax dulma.
A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21 Oo sanqadh cabsi leh ayaa dhegihiisa gasha, Oo wakhtiga barwaaqadana baabbi'iyuhu waa u soo iman doonaa.
Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
22 Isagu ma rumaysto inuu gudcurka ka noqon doono, Iyo inay seeftu isaga sugayso.
He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23 Meel meel buu cunto u wareegaa isagoo leh, Meeday? Oo wuxuu og yahay inay maalinta gudcurku isaga u diyaar tahay.
He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24 Waxaa isaga bajiya dhib iyo cidhiidhi, Oo isagay uga adkaadaan sida boqor dagaal isu diyaariyey,
Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
25 Maxaa yeelay, isagu gacantiisuu Ilaah ku taagay, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah kibir buu ku caasiyaa.
For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26 Wuxuu kula ordaa madax adag Iyo gaashaammadiisa biro ku taagan yihiin.
rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
27 Maxaa yeelay, wejiga ayuu ka cayilay, Oo bowdooyinkana baruur buu ku yeeshay,
Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28 Oo wuxuu degay magaalooyin baabba' ah, Iyo guryo aan lagu hoyan, Oo u diyaarsan inay tuulmooyin burbur ah noqdaan.
he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29 Isagu taajir noqon maayo, oo maalkiisuna sii raagi maayo, Oo dhulkana ku sii waari maayo.
He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
30 Isagu marnaba gudcur ka bixi maayo, Oo laamihiisa olol baa qallajin doona, Oo neefta afkiisa ayaa qaadi doonta.
He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
31 Yuusan wax aan waxba tarayn isku hallayn, isagoo iskhiyaaneeya, Waayo, wax aan waxba tarayn ayaa abaalgudkiisa ahaan doona.
Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.
32 Wakhtigiisii ka hor buu dhammaan doonaa, Oo laantiisuna ma cagaaroobi doonto.
It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
33 Sida canabka ayuu midhihiisa ceedhiin iska ridi doonaa, Oo sida saytuunka ayuu ubaxiisa iska daadin doonaa.
He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
34 Waayo, ururka cibaadalaawayaashu wuxuu ahaan doonaa wax aan waxba dhalin, Oo teendhooyinka kuwa laaluushka qaatana dab baa baabbi'in doona.
For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35 Iyagu waxay uuraystaan belaayo, xumaanna way dhalaan, Oo calooshooduna waxay diyaarisaa khiyaano.
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
