< Ayuub 24 >
1 Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?
“Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
2 Waxaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.
There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
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 they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 Saboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.
They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Bal eeg, sida dameerdibadeedyo lamadegaanka jooga Ayay shuqulkooda ugu baxaan, iyagoo cunto aad u doonaya; Cidladuna carruurtooda cuntay u soo bixisaa.
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
6 Cuntadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.
They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7 Oo habeenkii oo dhan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar lahayn ayay jiifsadaan, Oo dhaxanta waxay ka huwadaanna ma leh.
They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
8 Waxaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9 Waxaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,
There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.
so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11 Waxay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.
They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12 Dadku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.
From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
13 Kuwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.
“These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in 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 rises with the light. He kills 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 also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises 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. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
17 Waayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.
For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18 Isagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.
“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
19 Biyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay. (Sheol )
Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned. (Sheol )
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 will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21 Isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.
He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22 Oo weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.
Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23 Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.
God gives them security, and they rest in it. 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; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears 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 it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
