1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
2 Sidee baad u caawisay midka aan itaalka lahayn! Oo kan ayan gacantiisu xoogga lahayn sidee baad u badbaadisay!
“I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
3 Sidee baad ula talisay kan aan xigmadda lahayn! Oo aad u muujisay aqoon wanaagsan!
(You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
4 Yaad erayo kula hadashay? Oo yaa ruuxiisu xaggaaga ka soo baxay?
Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
5 Kuwii dhintayna way ku hoos gariiraan Biyaha iyo waxyaalaha dhex deggan.
“[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
6 She'ool hortiisuu yaal isagoo qaawan, Oo Halligaadduna dabool ma leh. (Sheol h7585)
God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
7 Isagu woqooyiga wuxuu ku kala bixiyaa meel madhan, Oo dhulkana wuxuu ka laalaadshaa wax aan waxba ahayn.
God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
8 Biyaha wuxuu ku xidhaa daruurihiisa qarada waaweyn; Oo daruurtuna hoostooda kama dillaacdo.
He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
9 Wuxuu xidhaa wejiga carshigiisa, Oo daruurtiisana wuu ku kala bixiyaa.
He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
10 Biyaha dushooda wuxuu ku wareejiyey soohdin Kala xidha nuurka iyo gudcurka.
He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
11 Tiirarka samadu way gariiraan, Oo waxay ka yaabaan canaantiisa.
When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
12 Badda ayuu xooggiisa ku aamusiiyaa, Oo kibirkana waxgarashadiisuu ku dhuftaa.
With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
13 Samooyinka waxaa lagu sharraxay Ruuxiisa, Gacantiisuna waxay mudday abeesada dheeraysa.
With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
14 Bal eeg, waxanu waa darafyadii jidadkiisa uun; Oo inta isaga laga maqlaana yaraan badanaa! Laakiinse bal yaa onkodka xooggiisa garan kara?
But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
