Ayuub 17
1 Ruuxaygii waa tabardarnaaday, cimrigaygiina waa dhammaaday, Oo qabrigu waa ii diyaar.
My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave is ready for me.
2 Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaa ila jooga majaajilowyo, Oo ishayduna waxay fiiro u leedahay ka cadhaysiintooda.
Yet truly those that mock are with me, and on their offendings must my eye rest.
3 Haddaba rahaamad i sii, oo dammiin ii noqo; Bal yaa jooga oo gacanta dhaar iigu dhiibaya?
And thou, [Creator!] attend, I pray thee, be my surety with thyself: who else is there that would strike hands with me?
4 Waayo, qalbigooda waxgarashadii waad ka qarisay, Oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga ma aad sarraysiin doontid.
For thou hast concealed their heart against intelligence: therefore art thou not exalted [through them].
5 Kii saaxiibbadiis u yeedha inay maal ka qaybgeliyaan, Carruurtiisu way indha beeli doonaan.
Every one of them speaketh deceptively to his friends: may also the eyes of his children fail.
6 Oo weliba isagu wuxuu iga dhigay wax ay dadku ku halqabsadaan, Oo waxaan noqday mid ay dadku candhuuf ku tufaan.
And he hath placed me here as a by-word unto nations; and I become openly as a place of abomination.
7 Indhahaygii murug bay la arag daranyihiin, Oo xubnahaygii oo dhammuna waxay noqdeen sidii hoos oo kale.
Therefore is my eye dim from vexation, and my limbs are all of them like a shadow.
8 Dadkii toolmoonu waxan way la yaabayaan, Oo kan aan xaqa qabinuna wuxuu ku kacayaa cibaadalaawaha.
Upright men must be astonished at this, and the innocent must arouse himself against the hypocrite.
9 Laakiinse kii xaq ahu jidkiisa wuu ku sii adkaysan doonaa, Oo kii gacmo nadiifsan lahuna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaysan doonaa.
Yet will the righteous hold firmly on to his way; and he that is clean of hands will acquire additional strength.
10 Laakiinse idinku dhammaantiin bal soo noqda oo ii kaalaya, Oo anna nin xigmad leh idinkama heli doono.
But all of you, do only return, and come but [to me]: and yet I shall not find among you one wise man.
11 Cimrigaygii waa dhammaaday, Oo qasdigaygii iyo fikirradii qalbigayguba waa baabbe'een.
My days are past, my resolves are broken off, [even the thoughts]—the possessions of my heart.
12 Habeenka waxay u beddelaan maalin, Oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Iftiinku waa u dhow yahay gudcurka.
These would change the night into day, the light as near in the presence of darkness.—
13 Haddaan She'ool u rajeeyo sida gurigaygii oo kale, Ama haddaan gogoshayda gudcurka ku dhex fidsado, (Sheol h7585)
When I hope for the nether world as my house; in the darkness have I spread my couch; (Sheol h7585)
14 Oo haddaan qudhunka ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay aabbahay, Oo aan dirxigana ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay hooyaday iyo walaashay,
When I call to corruption, Thou art my father: Thou art my mother, and my sister, to the worms.
15 Bal markaas meeday rajadaydu? Oo bal yaase rajadayda arki doona?
Ay, where is then my hope? as for my hope, who will see it [fulfilled]?
