Ayuub 23
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
THEN 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 even to his seat!
4 Dacwadayda ayaan hortiisa ku diyaarin lahaa, Oo afkaygana hadallo dood ah baan ka buuxin lahaa.
I would order my 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 which 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.
Will 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 dispute with him; so should I 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.
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot 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 cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
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: when he hath tried 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 his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
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 esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
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, even that he doeth.
14 Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.
For he performeth the thing that 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: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 Waayo, Ilaah ayaa qalbigayga itaal darreeyey, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iga nixiyey,
For God maketh 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 covered the darkness from my face.
