Ayuub 24
1 Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?
Why doesn't the Almighty set a definite time to punish the wicked? Why don't those who follow him never see him act in judgment?
2 Waxaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.
The wicked move boundary stones; they seize other people's flocks and move them to their own pastures.
3 Oo waxay iska kaxaystaan dameerka agoonta, Oo waxay rahaamad u qaataan naag carmal ah dibigeed.
They steal the orphan's donkey; they take the widow's ox as security for a debt.
4 Saboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.
They push the poor out of their way; the destitute are forced to hide from them.
5 Bal eeg, sida dameerdibadeedyo lamadegaanka jooga Ayay shuqulkooda ugu baxaan, iyagoo cunto aad u doonaya; Cidladuna carruurtooda cuntay u soo bixisaa.
Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor have to scavenge for their food, looking for anything to feed their children in the wasteland.
6 Cuntadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.
They are forced to find what they can in other people's fields, to glean among 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.
They spend the night naked because they have no clothes; they have nothing to cover themselves against the cold.
8 Waxaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.
They are soaked by the cold mountain storms, and huddle beside the rocks for shelter.
9 Waxaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,
Fatherless children are snatched from their mother's breasts, taking the babies of the poor as security for a debt.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.
Because they have no clothes to wear they have to go naked, harvesting sheaves of grain while they themselves are hungry.
11 Waxay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.
In the olive groves they work to produce oil, but do not taste it; they tread the winepress, but are thirsty.
12 Dadku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.
In the city the dying groan, and the wounded cry for help, but God ignores their prayers.
13 Kuwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.
These are people who rebel against the light. They do not want to know its ways, or to stay 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.
The murderer gets up at dawn to kill the poor and needy, and when night falls he becomes a thief.
15 Oo isha dhillayguna waxay sugtaa fiidka, Oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ninna ima arki doono, Oo wuu hagoogtaa.
The adulterer waits for dusk, saying to himself, ‘No one will see me now,’ and he covers his face.
16 Oo goor gudcur ah ayay guryaha dhacaan, Oo maalinnimadana meel bay isku xidhaan, Oo iftiinka maba yaqaaniin.
Thieves break into houses during the night and they sleep during the day. They don't even know what the light is like!
17 Waayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.
Total darkness is like light to them, for they are familiar with the night.
18 Isagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.
Like bubbles on the surface of a river they are quickly carried away. The land they own is cursed by God. They don't enter their own vineyards.
19 Biyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay. (Sheol h7585)
Just as heat and drought dry up snowmelt, so Sheol takes away 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.
Even their mothers forget them, maggots feast on them, they are no longer remembered, and their wickedness becomes like a tree that is broken into pieces.
21 Isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.
They mistreat childless women and are mean to widows.
22 Oo weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.
God prolongs the life of the wicked by his power; but when they arise, they have no assurance of life.
23 Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.
He supports them and gives them security, but he is always watching what they're doing.
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.
Though they may be illustrious for a while, soon they are gone. They are brought down like all others, cut off like the 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 isn't so, who can prove I'm a liar and there's nothing to what I say?”
