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.
