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.
Still is my complaint bitter; But my wound is deeper than my groaning.
3 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ogaado meeshaan isaga ka heli karo, Si aan kursigiisa ugu imaado!
O that I knew where I might find him! That I might go before his throne!
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 should know what he would answer me, And understand what he would say to me.
6 Ma wuxuu igula diriri lahaa xooggiisa badan? Maya, laakiinse wuu i maqli lahaa.
Would he contend with me with his mighty power? No! he would have regard to me.
7 Kii qummanu halkaasuu isaga kula xaajoon kari lahaa, Oo anna saasaan xaakinkayga uga samatabbixi lahaa weligayba.
Then would an upright man contend with him, And I should be fully acquitted by my judge.
8 Bal eega, hore baan u socdaa, laakiinse isagu halkaas ma joogo, Oo dib baan u socdaa, laakiinse ma aan heli karo.
But, behold, I go eastward, and he is not there; And westward, 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.
To the north, where he worketh, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the south, and 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 which is in my heart; When he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 Cagtaydu waxay ku adkaatay tallaabooyinkiisa, Jidkiisii waan xajiyey, oo dhanna ugama aan leexan.
My feet have trodden in his steps; His way I have kept, and have not turned aside from it.
12 Dib ugama noqon amarkii bushimihiisa, Oo erayadii afkiisana waxaan u hayay wax ka qiimo badan cuntada aanan ka maarmin.
I have not neglected the precepts of his lips; Above my own law have I esteemed the words of his mouth.
13 Laakiinse wax qudha ayuu goostay, bal yaa ka leexin kara? Oo wixii naftiisu doonaysaba wuu sameeyaa.
But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? And what he desireth, that he doeth.
14 Waayo, wuxuu oofiyaa wixii la ii amray, Oo waxyaalo badan oo saasoo kale ah ayuu maankiisa ku hayaa.
He performeth that which is appointed for me; And many such things are in his mind!
15 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan hortiisa uga naxaa, Oo markaan ka fikiraba waan ka baqaa isaga.
Therefore I am in terror on account of him; 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 faint; Yea, the Almighty terrifieth me;
17 Maxaa yeelay, gudcurka hortiis layma baabbi'in, Oo gudcurkii qarada lahaana wejigayga kama uu daboolin.
Because I was not taken away before darkness came, And he hath not hidden darkness from mine eyes.
