Ayuub 16
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
2 Anigu waan maqlay waxyaalo badan oo caynkaas ah. Idinku dhammaantiin waxaad tihiin qalbiqabowjiyayaal qalqalloocan.
“I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
3 Hadal dabayl ahu miyuu dhammaadaa? Balse maxaa kaa dhirfinaya oo aad u jawaabaysaa?
Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
4 Haddii naftiinnu ahaan lahayd naftayda, Anigu waan u hadli kari lahaa sidiinna oo kale, Oo hadal waan idinku kor tuuli kari lahaa, Oo madaxaygana waan idinku ruxruxi kari lahaa.
If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
5 Laakiinse anigu afkayga waan idinku xoogayn lahaa, Oo tacsiyaynta bushimahayguna way idin qalbi qabowjin lahayd.
But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
6 Anigu haddaan hadlo xanuunkaygu igama yaraado, Oo haddaan iska aamusona miyaan in ka yar xanuunsadaa?
“But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
7 Laakiinse haatan wuu i daaliyey, Oo guutadaydii oo dhan cidlo baad ka dhigtay.
God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
8 Waad i qabsatay, taasuna waa marag iga gees ah, Oo waxaa igu kaca macluulkayga, oo fool ka fool ayuu igu markhaati furaa.
He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
9 Isagoo cadhaysan ayuu i dildillaacsaday, oo wuu i silciyey, Wuuna igu ilko jirriqsaday, Oo cadowgaygii indhuhuu igu caddeeyey.
Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
10 Iyagu afkay ii kala qaadeen, Oo quudhsasho ayay dhabanka igaga dharbaaxeen, Oo dhammaantoodna way isu kay wada urursadaan.
People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
11 Ilaah wuxuu gacantooda i geliyaa cibaadalaawayaasha, Oo wuxuu igu dhex tuuraa gacmaha kuwa sharka ah.
[It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
12 Anigoo iska istareexsan ayuu i kala jejebiyey, Oo intuu surka i qabtay ayuu i kala burburiyey, Oo weliba intuu meel i qotomiyey ayuu goolibaadh iga dhigtay.
Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
13 Qaansoolayaashiisii ayaa i hareereeya, Oo kelyahaygii ayuu kala googooyaa, Oo xammeetidaydiina dhulkuu ku daadshaa.
people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
14 Isagu wuu i jejebiyaa oo nabarba nabar buu iiga kor mariyaa; Oo sidii nin xoog badan ayuu orod igula soo kacaa.
[It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
15 Korkayga waxaan ku tolay joonyad, Oo xooggaygiina ciiddaan ku riday.
[“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
16 Wejigaygii oohin buu la beddelmay, Oo indhaha daboolkoodana waxaa ii jooga hooskii dhimashada,
My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
17 In kastoo aanay xaqdarro ku jirin gacmahayga, Oo uu baryootankayguna daahir yahay.
[All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
18 Dhulkow, dhiiggayga ha qarinin, Oo qayladayduna yaanay meelay ku nasato lahaan.
[When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
19 Oo hadda bal eeg, markhaatigaygii wuxuu joogaa samada, Oo kii ii dammiintaana xagga saruu joogaa.
But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
20 Saaxiibbaday way igu qoslaan, Laakiinse indhahaygu ilmo bay u daadiyaan xag Ilaah.
My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
21 Bal muu jiro mid dadka Ilaah ula hadla, Siduu nin deriskiisa ugu hadlo oo kale.
I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
22 Waayo, markii dhawr sannadood dhaafaan, Waxaan mari doonaa jidka aanan mar kale dib uga soo noqonayn.
[I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
