1 Markaasaa Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu yidhi,
Then Zophar replied,
2 Haddaba waxaa ii jawaaba fikirradayda, Oo sababtu waxay tahay degdegga igu jira.
“I am very perturbed about what you have said, so I want to reply very quickly.
3 Waxaan maqlay canaanta i ceebaysa, Oo waxaa ii jawaabta waxgarashadayda.
By saying these things you have insulted me, but I know how (OR, because I understand very much) I can reply to you.
4 Miyaadan ogayn in waayihii hore iyo Tan iyo waagii binu-aadmiga dhulka la saaray
“Do you not know that from long ago, ever since people were first put on the earth,
5 Ay guulaysashada sharrowyadu gaaban tahay, Oo farxadda cibaadalaawayaashuna ay daqiiqad qudha tahay?
wicked people [like you] do not continue to rejoice for a long time, ungodly people are happy only for a (moment/very short time) [HYP]?
6 In kastoo sarrayntiisu ay samada korto, Oo madaxiisuna uu daruuraha gaadho,
[Even] though their reputation/pride reaches up to the sky and their fame goes up as high as the clouds,
7 Wuxuu weligiis u baabbi'i doonaa sida saxaradiisa oo kale. Oo kuwii isaga arki jiray waxay odhan doonaan, War meeh isagii?
they will disappear forever, like their own dung, and those who knew them will ask, ‘(Where did they go/What happened to them)?’
8 Sida riyo ayuu u libdhi doonaa, oo lama heli doono, Hubaal waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida riyada habeenka.
They will be forgotten like [SIM] a dream is, and they will exist no more. They will vanish, like visions [that people see] during the night.
9 Ishii isaga aragtay mar dambe ma ay arki doonto, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe uma ay jeedi doonto.
Those who saw those people previously will never see them again; even their families [MTY] will not see them any more.
10 Carruurtiisu waxay wax ka baryi doonaan masaakiinta, Oo gacmahooduna dib bay u celin doonaan maalkiisa.
Their children will be forced to return the valuable things that those children stole from poor people [DOU].
11 Lafihiisana waxaa ka buuxa xoogga dhallinyaranimada, Laakiinse ciidda dhexdeeduu la jiifsan doonaa.
Previously their bodies were young and strong, but they will die and [their bodies will] be buried in the ground.
12 In kastoo xumaantu afkiisa la macaan tahay, In kastoo uu carrabkiisa ku hoos qarsado,
“Doing wicked things was like having sweet food in their mouths, and they wanted to continue to taste it.
13 In kastoo uu kaydsado, oo uusan iska sii dayn, Laakiinse uu afkiisa ku sii haysto,
And they did not want to stop doing those things,
14 Kolleyba cuntadiisu mindhicirkiisay ku beddelantaa, Oo waxay uurkiisa ku noqataa waabayo jilbis.
[but some day] the evil things that they enjoyed doing will become like food [that they swallow] [and which becomes] as bitter as snake venom.
15 Isagu maal buu liqay, laakiinse mar kaluu soo mantagi doonaa, Oo Ilaah baa calooshiisa ka soo saari doona.
Wicked people will not continue to keep the money they have accumulated, like people do not keep the food that they vomit. God takes their wealth from them.
16 Wuxuu nuugi doonaa mariidka jilbisyada, Oo waxaa isaga dili doona mas carrabkiis.
What wicked people do is [like] [MET] swallowing snake venom; it will kill them like [MET] the bite of a poisonous snake kills people.
17 Oo ma uu fiirin doono webiyada, Iyo durdurrada la barwaaqaysan malabka iyo subagga.
They will not remain alive to see abundant blessings [IDM] [from God], milk and olive oil and honey, that are [so abundant they are] like [MET] a stream that flows by.
18 Wixii uu ku hawshooday wuu soo celin doonaa, oo ma uu liqi doono, Oo maalka uu faa'iidada u helayna siduu yahay uguma uu farxi doono.
They will be forced to give back the things that they stole from the poor; they will not be able to continue to enjoy those things. They will not remain happy because of what they got from their businesses,
19 Waayo, wuxuu dulmay oo dayriyey masaakiinta, Oo wuxuu xoog ku qaatay guri uusan dhisin.
because they oppressed poor people and refused to help them, and they took other people’s houses [by cheating them].
20 Uurkiisu xasilloonaan ma lahayn, Taas daraaddeed waxa uu jecel yahay oo dhan waxba kama uu badbaadin doono.
“They were always greedy and never satisfied. They just keep dreaming about owning more and more things.
21 Wuxuu liqay wax ka hadhay lama arkin, Sidaas daraaddeed barwaaqadiisu siima raagi doonto.
When they finished eating their food, there was never anything left over [because they had greedily eaten it all]; but now their prosperity will end.
22 Markuu dheregsan yahay ayuu cidhiidhi dhex geli doonaa, Oo mid kasta oo belaayaysan gacantiisa ayaa ku soo degi doonta.
When they are extremely prosperous/wealthy, they will suddenly experience a lot of trouble. (Misery will strike them and crush them [PRS]/They will suffer very greatly).
23 Markuu ku dhow yahay inuu calooshiisa buuxsado, Ayaa Ilaah wuxuu ku soo tuuri doonaa kulaylka cadhadiis, Oo wuu ku soo shubi doonaa intuu wax cunayo.
When the wicked people are filling their stomachs, God will show that he is very angry with them and punish them; the punishment [that he gives them] will be like [MET] rain falling on them.
24 Wuu ka carari doonaa hubka birta ah, Oo qaansada naxaasta ahu fallaadh bay ka dhex dusin doontaa.
They will try to escape from [being killed by] iron weapons, but arrows with bronze points will pierce them.
25 Wuu soo jiidaa, kolkaasay jidhkiisa ka soo baxdaa, Hubaal caaradda dhalaalaysa ayaa beerkiisa ka soo baxda, Oo cabsi baa isaga ku dhacda.
The arrows will [go completely through their bodies and] stick out of their backs; the shiny points of the arrows will have blood dripping from them, and those wicked people will be terrified.
26 Gudcurka oo dhanna waxaa meel loogu kaydiyey khasnadihiisa; Oo dab aan la afuufin ayaa isaga dhammayn doona, Wuuna baabbi'in doonaa waxa teendhadiisa ku dhex hadhay.
Their valuable possessions will all be destroyed; a fire that is not lit by humans, [but by God, ] will burn them up and also destroy the things that are left in their tents.
27 Samooyinku waxay daaha ka qaadi doonaan xumaantiisa, Oo dhulkuna isaguu ku kici doonaa.
The [angels in] heaven [MTY] will reveal the sins that those wicked people have committed, and [people on] earth will stand up and testify against them.
28 Hodanka reerkiisu wuu ka dhammaan doonaa, Oo maalinta cadhada Ilaah ayaa maalkiisu libdhi doonaa.
When God punishes [MTY] [people], all the possessions in the wicked people’s houses will be carried away by a flood.
29 Intaasu waxaa weeye qaybta ninkii shar ahu uu xagga Ilaah ka helayo, Iyo wixii Ilaah dhaxal ahaan ugu amray.
That is what will happen to wicked people [like you]; that is what God has decided will happen to them.”
