Ayuub 23

1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Bvt Iob answered and sayd,

2 Xataa maantadan guryankayga cabashada ahu waa qadhaadh yahay, Oo gacanta i saaranuna waa ka sii daran tahay cabashadayda.

Though my talke be this day in bitternes, and my plague greater then my groning,

3 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado meeshaan isaga ka heli karo, Si aan kursigiisa ugu imaado!

Would God yet I knew how to finde him, I would enter vnto his place.

4 Dacwadayda ayaan hortiisa ku diyaarin lahaa, Oo afkaygana hadallo dood ah baan ka buuxin lahaa.

I would pleade 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 knowe the wordes, that he would answere me, and would vnderstand what he would say vnto me.

6 Ma wuxuu igula diriri lahaa xooggiisa badan? Maya, laakiinse wuu i maqli lahaa.

Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.

7 Kii qummanu halkaasuu isaga kula xaajoon kari lahaa, Oo anna saasaan xaakinkayga uga samatabbixi lahaa weligayba.

There the righteous might reason with him, so I shoulde be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.

8 Bal eega, hore baan u socdaa, laakiinse isagu halkaas ma joogo, Oo dib baan u socdaa, laakiinse ma aan heli karo.

Behold, if I go to the East, he is not there: if to the West, yet I can not perceiue him:

9 Oo waxaan tagaa xagga bidix markuu shaqaynayo, laakiinse uma aan jeedi karo; Oo wuxuu ku dhuuntaa xagga midig laakiinse kama arki karo.

If to the North where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he wil hide himselfe in the South, and I cannot beholde him.

10 Laakiinse wuu yaqaan jidkaan maro, Oo markuu i tijaabiyo waxaan u soo bixi doonaa sida dahab oo kale.

But he knoweth my way, and trieth mee, and I shall come forth like the gold.

11 Cagtaydu waxay ku adkaatay tallaabooyinkiisa, Jidkiisii waan xajiyey, oo dhanna ugama aan leexan.

My foote hath followed his steps: his way haue I kept, and haue not declined.

12 Dib ugama noqon amarkii bushimihiisa, Oo erayadii afkiisana waxaan u hayay wax ka qiimo badan cuntada aanan ka maarmin.

Neyther haue I departed from the commandement of his lippes, and I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then mine appointed foode.

13 Laakiinse wax qudha ayuu goostay, bal yaa ka leexin kara? Oo wixii naftiisu doonaysaba wuu sameeyaa.

Yet he is in one minde, and who can turne him? yea, he doeth what his minde desireth.

14 Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.

For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him.

15 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan hortiisa uga naxaa, Oo markaan ka fikiraba waan ka baqaa isaga.

Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him.

16 Waayo, Ilaah ayaa qalbigayga itaal darreeyey, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iga nixiyey,

For God hath softened mine heart, and the Almightie hath troubled me.

17 Maxaa yeelay, gudcurka hortiis layma baabbi'in, Oo gudcurkii qarada lahaana wejigayga kama uu daboolin.

For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.
