Ayuub 19
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,
Then Job replied:
2 War ilaa goormaad naftayda dhibaysaan Oo aad erayo igu burburinaysaan?
“How long will you [three] torment me and crush my spirit by saying to me [that I am wicked]?
3 Toban jeer baad i caydeen, Haddaba miyaydaan ka xishoonayn inaad saas oo xun iila macaamilootaan?
You have already insulted me many [HYP] times; (are you not ashamed for saying these things to me?/you should be ashamed for saying these things to me.) [RHQ]
4 Oo sida xaqiiqada ah haddaan qaldamay, Qaladkaygu aniguu igu hadhayaa.
Even if it were true that I have done things that are wrong, I have not injured you!
5 Oo sida xaqiiqada ah haddaad iska kay weynaynaysaan, Oo aad ceebtayda igu caddaysaan inaan dembi leeyahay,
If you truly think that you are better than I am, and you think that my being miserable now proves that I (am guilty/have committed many sins),
6 Haddaba bal ogaada in Ilaah i afgembiyey, Oo uu shabagtiisii igu wareejiyey.
you need to realize that it is God who has caused me to suffer. [It is as though] he has trapped me with his net.
7 Bal eega, dulunka daraaddiis waan u qayliyaa, laakiin lay maqli maayo, Oo caawimaad waan u qayshadaana, caddaaladduse ma jirto.
“I cry out, ‘Help me!’, but no one answers me. I call out loudly, but there is no one, [not even God, ] who acts fairly toward me.
8 Jidkaygii ayuu ooday si aanan u dhaafi karin, Oo wadiiqooyinkaygiina gudcur buu ka dhigay.
[It is as though] [MET] God has blocked my way, with the result that I cannot go where I want to; [it is as though] he has forced me to try to find my way in the darkness.
9 Ammaantaydii wuu iga xayuubiyey, Oo taajkiina madaxayga wuu ka qaaday.
He has (taken away my good reputation/caused people not to honor me any more); [it is as though] he removed [MET] a crown from my head.
10 Xagga iyo xaggaaba wuu iga dumiyey, oo baabba' waan noqday, Oo rajadaydiina sidii geed oo kale ayuu u rujiyey.
He batters me from every side, and I will soon die. He has caused me to no longer confidently expect [him to do good things for me].
11 Aad buu iigu cadhooday, Oo sida mid cadowgiisa ah ayuu igu tiriyaa.
He attacks me because he is extremely angry with me [MET], and he considers that I am his enemy.
12 Ciidammadiisii oo dhammu way wada yimaadaan, Oo jid bay dhistaan si ay iigu kacaan, Oo teendhadayda hareeraheeda ayay degaan.
[It is as though] he sends his army to attack me; they surround my tent, preparing to attack me.
13 Walaalahay wuu iga fogeeyey, Oo kuwii aan iqiinna way iga wada shisheeyoobeen.
“God has caused my brothers to abandon me, and all those who know me act like strangers to me.
14 Ehelkaygii way i dayriyeen, Oo saaxiibbadaydiina way i illoobeen.
All my relatives and good friends have left me.
15 Kuwa reerkayga ku hoyda, iyo gabdhaha addoommahayga ahuba waxay igu tiriyaan shisheeye, Oo hortooda waxaan ku ahay ajanabi.
The people who were guests in my house have forgotten me, and my female servants consider that I am a stranger or that I am a foreigner.
16 Waxaan u yeedhaa addoonkaygii, Oo in kastoo aan afkayga ku baryo, iima jawaabo innaba.
When I summon my servants, they do not answer; I plead with them to come [to help me, but they do not come].
17 Naagtaydu waxay nacdaa neeftayda, Oo carruurtii hooyaday dhashayna waxay nacaan baryootankayga.
My wife does not want to come close to me because my breath [smells very bad], and even my brothers detest me.
18 Xataa dhallaanka yaryaru way i quudhsadaan, Oo haddaan sara joogsado way i caayaan.
Even young children despise me; when I stand up [to talk to them], they laugh at me.
19 Saaxiibbadaydii aan ku kalsoonaa oo dhammu way i karahsadaan, Oo kuwii aan jeclaana way igu soo jeesteen.
My dearest friends detest me, and those whom I love [very much] have turned against me.
20 Haraggayga iyo hilibkaygu waxay ku dhegaan lafahayga, Oo dirqi baan ku baxsaday.
My body is [only] skin and bones; I am barely alive [IDM].
21 Saaxiibbadayow, ii naxa, oo ii naxa, Waayo, gacantii Ilaah baa i taabatay.
[“I plead with] you, my [three] friends, pity me, because God has (struck [EUP] me with his hand/caused me to suffer greatly).
22 Maxaad sidii Ilaah iigu silcisaan? Oo bal maxaad dhibaatada jidhkayga uga dhergi weydeen?
Why do you cause me to suffer like God does? Why do you continue to slander [MET] me?
23 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in erayadayda la qoro! Iyo in kitaab gudihiis lagu qoro!
“I wish/desire that someone would take these words of mine and write them permanently in a book [in order that people can read them].
24 Iyo inay weligood dhagax kula qornaadaan Qalin bir ah iyo rasaas!
Or else, I wish that he would carve them on a rock with (a chisel/an iron tool) in order that they would last forever.
25 Laakiinse waan ogahay in kii i soo furtay nool yahay, Iyo inuu ugudambaysta dhulka ku istaagi doono.
But I know that the one who vindicates/defends me in court is alive, and that some day he will stand [here] on the earth [and make the final decision about whether I deserve to be punished].
26 Oo markii haraggaygu sidaas u baabba'o dabadeed, Ayaan anigoo aan jiidh lahayn Ilaah arki doonaa,
And even after diseases have eaten away my skin, while I still have my body, I will see God.
27 Kaasoo aan aniga qudhaydu arki doono, Oo indhahaygu ay fiirin doonaan, oo aanay kuwa mid kale arkayn. Qalbigaygu waa taag daranyahay.
I will see him myself; I will see him with my own eyes! I am overwhelmed [as I think about that]!
28 Haddaad istidhaahdaan, War xaalkan salkiisu isagaa laga helay, Bal maxaannu isaga u silcinnaa?
“If you three men say, ‘What more can we do to cause Job to suffer?’ and if you say, ‘He has caused his own [troubles],’
29 Si aad u ogaataan in xukun jiro, Waxaad ka cabsataan seefta, Maxaa yeelay, cadhadu waxay keentaa taqsiirta seefta.
you should be afraid that God will punish [MTY] you; he punishes those [like you] with whom he is angry; and when that happens, you will know that there is [someone who] judges [people].”
