Ayuub 29
1 Oo haddana Ayuub hadalkiisuu sii waday, oo wuxuu yidhi,
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ahaado sidii waayihii hore, Iyo sidii aan ahaan jiray markii Ilaah i dhawri jiray,
Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me;
3 Markay laambaddiisu madaxayga ku ifin jirtay, Oo aan nuurkiisa gudcurka ku dhex mari jiray,
When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness;
4 Markii aan xoog lahaan jiray, Oo qarsoodiga Ilaahna teendhadayda saarnaan jiray,
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle;
5 Markii Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu ila jiri jiray, Oo carruurtayduna ay hareerahayga joogi jireen,
When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me;
6 Markay tallaabooyinkaygu subagga la barwaaqoobi jireen, Oo ay webiyaasha saliidda ahu dhagaxa iiga soo shubmi jireen!
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 Markaan magaalada iriddeeda u bixi jiray, Oo aan kursigayga meel bannaan ku diyaarin jiray.
When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street!
8 Dhallinyaradu intay i arkaan ayay dhuuman jireen, Oo odayaashuna intay sara joogsadaan ayay istaagi jireen,
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up.
9 Amiirraduna intay hadalka joojiyaan, Ayay afka gacanta saari jireen.
The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
10 Ragga gobta ahuna way aamusi jireen, Oo carrabkoodiina dhabxanagguu ku dhegi jiray.
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 Waayo, markii dhegu i maqasho, way ii ducayn jirtay, Oo iluna markay i aragto, way ii marag furi jirtay.
When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:
12 Maxaa yeelay, waxaan samatabbixin jiray miskiinka qaylinaya, Iyo weliba agoonka aan wax u kaalmeeya lahayn.
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him.
13 Ka halligaadda ku dhow ducadiisa ayaa igu soo degi jirtay, Oo ta carmalka ahna qalbigeeda waan ka farxin jiray ilaa ay gabay la rayrayso.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 Waxaan huwan jiray xaqnimo, oo iyana dhar bay ii noqon jirtay, Oo caddaaladdayduna waxay ii ahaan jirtay sida khamiis iyo cimaamad oo kale.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem.
15 Kuwa indhaha la' indho baan u ahaan jiray, Kuwa curyaanka ahna cago baan u ahaan jiray.
I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
16 Aabbaan u ahaan jiray saboolka baahan, Oo ka aanan aqoonna xaalkiisa waan baadhi jiray.
I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out.
17 Ka xaqa daran daamankiisa waan jebin jiray, Oo wixii uu dhufsadana ilkihiisaan ka soo bixin jiray.
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Markaasaan is-idhi, Buulkaygaan ku dhex dhiman doonaa, Oo cimrigayguna wuxuu u badan doonaa sida cammuudda oo kale.
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand.
19 Xididkaygu biyaha xaggooduu u faafayaa, Oo laamahaygana habeenkii oo dhan waxaa saaran sayax.
My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 Sharaftaydu way igu cusub tahay, Oo qaansadayduna gacantayday ku cusboonaatay.
My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Dadku dhegtuu ii dhigi jiray, oo i sugi jiray, Oo taladayda aawadeedna way u aamusi jireen.
Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 Weligood igama ay daba hadlin, Oo hadalkayguna korkooduu ku soo dhibci jiray.
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 Oo waxay ii dhawri jireen sidii roobka oo kale, Oo waxay afkooda u kala furi jireen sidii roobka dambe loo sugo.
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.
24 Waan u af caddayn jiray markay qalbi jabaan, Oo nuurkii jaahaygana hoos uma ay tuuri jirin.
[If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 Waxaan dooran jiray jidkooda, oo sida nin madax ah ayaan u fadhiisan jiray, Oo waxaan u dhaqmi jiray sidii boqor ciidan dhex fadhiya, Iyo sidii mid u tacsiyeeya kuwa baroorta.
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
