Ayuub 23
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
And Job answered and said,
2 Xataa maantadan guryankayga cabashada ahu waa qadhaadh yahay, Oo gacanta i saaranuna waa ka sii daran tahay cabashadayda.
Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado meeshaan isaga ka heli karo, Si aan kursigiisa ugu imaado!
Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!
4 Dacwadayda ayaan hortiisa ku diyaarin lahaa, Oo afkaygana hadallo dood ah baan ka buuxin lahaa.
I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;
5 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado erayada uu iigu jawaabayo, Oo aan garto bal waxa uu igu odhanayo.
I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6 Ma wuxuu igula diriri lahaa xooggiisa badan? Maya, laakiinse wuu i maqli lahaa.
Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
7 Kii qummanu halkaasuu isaga kula xaajoon kari lahaa, Oo anna saasaan xaakinkayga uga samatabbixi lahaa weligayba.
There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 Bal eega, hore baan u socdaa, laakiinse isagu halkaas ma joogo, Oo dib baan u socdaa, laakiinse ma aan heli karo.
Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9 Oo waxaan tagaa xagga bidix markuu shaqaynayo, laakiinse uma aan jeedi karo; Oo wuxuu ku dhuuntaa xagga midig laakiinse kama arki karo.
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.
10 Laakiinse wuu yaqaan jidkaan maro, Oo markuu i tijaabiyo waxaan u soo bixi doonaa sida dahab oo kale.
But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 Cagtaydu waxay ku adkaatay tallaabooyinkiisa, Jidkiisii waan xajiyey, oo dhanna ugama aan leexan.
My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.
12 Dib ugama noqon amarkii bushimihiisa, Oo erayadii afkiisana waxaan u hayay wax ka qiimo badan cuntada aanan ka maarmin.
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.
13 Laakiinse wax qudha ayuu goostay, bal yaa ka leexin kara? Oo wixii naftiisu doonaysaba wuu sameeyaa.
But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.
14 Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.
For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.
15 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan hortiisa uga naxaa, Oo markaan ka fikiraba waan ka baqaa isaga.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.
16 Waayo, Ilaah ayaa qalbigayga itaal darreeyey, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iga nixiyey,
For God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;
17 Maxaa yeelay, gudcurka hortiis layma baabbi'in, Oo gudcurkii qarada lahaana wejigayga kama uu daboolin.
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
