Ayuub 24
1 Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?
“(Why does Almighty [God] not set a time when he will judge [evil people]?/I do not understand why Almighty [God does] not set a time when he will judge [evil people].) [RHQ] Those who know him never [RHQ] see him do that!
2 Waxaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.
[Some evil people] remove the markers of boundaries of [other people’s] land, [in order to steal their land]; they seize/steal [other people’s] sheep and put them in their own pastures.
3 Oo waxay iska kaxaystaan dameerka agoonta, Oo waxay rahaamad u qaataan naag carmal ah dibigeed.
[Some] (take away/steal) the donkeys that belong to orphans, and they take widow’s oxen to guarantee that the widows will pay back the money that they loaned to those widows.
4 Saboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.
[Some] shove poor people off the road (OR, prevent poor people from (obtaining their rights/being treated justly)), and they force poor people to find places 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.
The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert like wild donkeys do.
6 Cuntadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.
The poor people harvest left-over grain in other people’s fields, and gather grapes from vineyards that belong to wicked men.
7 Oo habeenkii oo dhan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar lahayn ayay jiifsadaan, Oo dhaxanta waxay ka huwadaanna ma leh.
During the night they have nothing to cover their bodies, nothing to keep them warm.
8 Waxaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.
When it rains on the mountains, the poor people become very wet, so they huddle under the rock ledges to be protected [from the rain].
9 Waxaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,
[Some evil men] snatch infants away from their widowed mothers [SYN], and they say ‘I will return your babies to you when you repay the money that I lent to you.’
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.
But the poor people walk around with no clothes on; they are hungry while they are working to carry [other people’s] bundles of grain [to the places where their grain will be threshed].
11 Waxay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.
Poor people press olives to make [olive] oil; they tread on grapes [to make juice for wine], but [they are not allowed to drink any of it when] they become thirsty.
12 Dadku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.
In the cities, people who are wounded and dying cry out [to God for help], but God does not heed their prayers.
13 Kuwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.
Some wicked people avoid the light [because they do evil things in the dark]; they do not walk on roads that are lighted.
14 Gacankudhiigluhu kaaha waaberi wuu la soo kacaa, oo wuxuu dilaa miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan, Oo habeenkiina isagu waa sida tuug oo kale.
Murderers steal things during the night, and then they arise before dawn in order that they may [go out again and] kill needy [DOU] people.
15 Oo isha dhillayguna waxay sugtaa fiidka, Oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ninna ima arki doono, Oo wuu hagoogtaa.
Those who want to commit adultery wait for twilight/evening; they say ‘I do not want anyone to see me,’ so they keep their faces covered.
16 Oo goor gudcur ah ayay guryaha dhacaan, Oo maalinnimadana meel bay isku xidhaan, Oo iftiinka maba yaqaaniin.
It is during the night that robbers break into houses [to steal things], but during the day they hide because they want to avoid [being seen in] the light.
17 Waayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.
All of those [people] want to do their evil things at night, not in the morning [when it is light], because they are not afraid of [the things that happen during the] night that terrify others.”
18 Isagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.
“[But it is wicked people] who are swept/carried away by floods, and God curses the land that they own, and no one goes to work in their vineyards.
19 Biyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay. (Sheol h7585)
Just like the snow melts away when it is hot and there is no rain, those who have sinned disappear into the place where dead people are. (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.
Not even their mothers remember them now; wicked people are destroyed like trees that are cut down, and maggots eat their corpses.
21 Isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.
They mistreat women who have been unable to give birth to children and women who no longer have children [to take care of them], and they never do good things for widows.
22 Oo weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.
But God, by his power, gets rid of mighty/influential people. God acts and causes the wicked people to die.
23 Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.
God allows them to think that they are secure and safe, but he is watching [MTY] them all the time.
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 prosper for a little while, and then [suddenly] they are gone; they disappear like weeds wither and die; they are like [SIM] stalks of grain that have been cut off.
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 true, is there [RHQ] anyone who will show that I am a liar and prove that what I have said is not true?”
