Ayuub 24
1 Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?
“Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?
2 Waxaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.
Men move boundary stones; they pasture stolen flocks.
3 Oo waxay iska kaxaystaan dameerka agoonta, Oo waxay rahaamad u qaataan naag carmal ah dibigeed.
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.
4 Saboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.
They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
5 Bal eeg, sida dameerdibadeedyo lamadegaanka jooga Ayay shuqulkooda ugu baxaan, iyagoo cunto aad u doonaya; Cidladuna carruurtooda cuntay u soo bixisaa.
Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.
6 Cuntadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.
They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
7 Oo habeenkii oo dhan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar lahayn ayay jiifsadaan, Oo dhaxanta waxay ka huwadaanna ma leh.
Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.
8 Waxaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.
Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
9 Waxaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,
The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.
Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11 Waxay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.
They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12 Dadku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.
From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
13 Kuwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.
Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.
14 Gacankudhiigluhu kaaha waaberi wuu la soo kacaa, oo wuxuu dilaa miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan, Oo habeenkiina isagu waa sida tuug oo kale.
When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
15 Oo isha dhillayguna waxay sugtaa fiidka, Oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ninna ima arki doono, Oo wuu hagoogtaa.
The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
16 Oo goor gudcur ah ayay guryaha dhacaan, Oo maalinnimadana meel bay isku xidhaan, Oo iftiinka maba yaqaaniin.
In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
17 Waayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.
For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
18 Isagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.
They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
19 Biyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay. (Sheol h7585)
As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Uurkii hooyadiis waa illoobi doonaa isaga; jidhkiisana waxaa cuni doona oo macaansan doona dirxiga, Oo mar dambena isaga lama xusuusan doono, Oo kii xaqdaranuna wuxuu u jabi doonaa sida geed oo kale.
The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
21 Isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.
They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
22 Oo weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.
Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.
23 Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.
He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
24 Iyaga waa la sarraysiiyaa, laakiin in yar dabadeed way wada baabba'aan; Hubaal iyaga waa la hoosaysiiyaa, oo jidka ayaa looga tuuraa sida kuwa kale oo dhan, Oo waxaa loo jaraa sida sabuul hadhuudh oo kale.
They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
25 Oo haddayan saas ahayn, yaa igu caddayn kara inaan beenlow ahay, Oo hadalkaygase yaa ka dhigi kara wax aan waxtar lahayn?
If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
