Ayuub 30
1 Laakiinse haatan waxaa igu majaajilooda kuwa iga da' yar Oo aan aabbayaashood quudhsan jiray inay xataa la fadhiistaan eeyaha adhigayga.
But now, those younger in years scorn me, whose fathers I would not have seen fit to place with the dogs of my flock,
2 Nimanka xooggoodu dhammaaday Itaalka gacmahoodu muxuu ii tarayaa?
the strength of whose hands was nothing to me, and they were considered unworthy of life itself.
3 Waxay la weydoobeen baahi iyo abaar, Oo waxay u cararaan dhul engegan, kaasoo ah lamadegaan gudcur iyo cidlo ah.
They were barren from poverty and hunger; they gnawed in solitude, layered with misfortune and misery.
4 Waxay gurtaan geed cusbeed oo kaynta ku yaal, Oo cuntadooduna waxa weeye geed rotem la yidhaahdo xididdadiisa.
And they chewed grass and the bark from trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
5 Iyaga dadka waa laga dhex eryaa, Oo waxaa looga daba qayliyaa sida tuug looga daba qayliyo oo kale.
They took these things from the steep valleys, and when they discovered one of these things, they rushed to the others with a cry.
6 Waa inay ku hoydaan haadaamaha dooxooyinka, Iyo boholaha dhulka iyo dhagaxyada dhexdooda.
They lived in the parched desert and in caves underground or above the rocks.
7 Waxay ka qayliyaan kaynta dhexdeeda, Oo waxay dhammaantood ku soo ururaan maraboob hoosteed.
They rejoiced among these kinds of things, and they considered it delightful to be under thorns.
8 Iyagu waa nacasyo iyo ceebaalowyo carruurtood, Oo dhulka waxaa lagaga saaray karbaash.
These are the sons of foolish and base men, not even paying any attention to the land.
9 Oo haatan gabay cay ah baan u noqday, Oo halqabsi baan u ahay.
Now I become their song, and I have been made into their proverb.
10 Way i karahsadaan, oo meel fog bay iga istaagaan, Oo inay candhuufo wejiga iiga tufaanna iskama ay qabtaan.
They loathe me, and so they flee far from me, and they are not reluctant to spit in my face.
11 Ilaah baa xadhiggaygii debciyey, wuuna i dhibay, Oo taas aawadeed iyagu hortayda iskuma celiyaan.
For he has opened his quiver and has afflicted me, and he has placed a bridle in my mouth.
12 Xagga midigtayda waxaa ka kaca ciyaalasuuq, Oo cagtaydana way iska riixaan, Oo waxay igu hor tuuraan jidadkoodii halligaadda.
Immediately, upon rising, my calamities rise up to the right. They have overturned my feet and have pressed me down along their way like waves.
13 Jidadkayga way halleeyaan, Oo waxay soo deddejiyaan masiibadayda; Oo mid caawiyaana ma jiro.
They have diverted my journeys; they have waited to ambush me, and they have prevailed, and there was no one who might bring help.
14 Jabniin ballaadhan ayay ka soo dusaan, Oo burburka dhexdiisa ayay igaga soo dhacaan.
They have rushed upon me, as when a wall is broken or a gate opened, and they have been pulled down into my miseries.
15 Waxaa igu soo jeesta cabsi weyn, Oo sharaftayda waxaa loo kaxeeyaa sida dabayshu wax u kaxayso oo kale. Barwaaqadaydiina waxay u dhammaatay sidii daruur oo kale.
I have been reduced to nothing. You have taken away my desire like a wind, and my health has passed by like a cloud.
16 Haddaba naftaydaa igu dhex daadatay, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
But now my soul withers within myself, and the days of affliction take hold of me.
17 Habeenkii lafahaygaa i muda, Oo xanuunka i cunayaana ima daayo innaba.
At night, my bone is pierced with sorrows, and those who feed on me, do not sleep.
18 Xoogga weyn oo cudurkayga daraaddiis ayaa dharkaygii ku xumaaday, Oo wuxuu iigu cidhiidhisan yahay sidii jubbaddayda qoorteeda.
By the sheer number of them my clothing is worn away, and they have closed in on me like the collar of my coat.
19 Isagu wuxuu igu tuuray dhoobada dhexdeeda, Oo waxaan noqday sidii boodh iyo dambas oo kale.
I have been treated like dirt, and I have been turned into embers and ashes.
20 Anigu waan kuu qayshadaa, adiguse iima aad jawaabtid, Waan ku soo hor istaagaa, adiguse ima aad aragtid.
I cry to you, and you do not heed me. I stand up, and you do not look back at me.
21 Calooladeeg baad igula soo jeesatay, Oo gacantaada itaalkeeda ayaad igu silcisaa.
You have changed me into hardness, and, with the hardness of your hand, you oppose me.
22 Kor baad iigu qaaddaa dabaysha, Oo waxaad i fuushisaa dusheeda, Oo haddana waxaad igu baabbi'isaa duufaanka.
You have lifted me up, and, placing me as if on the wind, you have thrown me down powerfully.
23 Waayo, waan ogahay inaad ii kaxaynaysid dhimasho, Iyo guriga inta nool oo dhammu ku wada kulmayaan.
I know that you will hand me over to death, where a home has been established for all the living.
24 Laakiinse ninkii hoos u dhacaya sow gacantiisa sooma fidiyo? Markuu halligmayose sow ma qayshado?
Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them.
25 Oo ninka dhibaataysan anigu sow uma ooyi jirin? Naftayduse sow masaakiinta uma murugoon jirin?
Once, I wept over him who was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
26 Laakiinse markaan wanaagga filanayo waxaa ii iman jiray xumaanta, Oo markaan nuurka sugana waxaa ii iman jiray gudcurka.
I expected good things, but evil things have come to me. I stood ready for light, yet darkness burst forth.
27 Qalbigaygu welwel buu la kacsan yahay, mana nasto, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
My insides have seethed, without any rest, for the days of affliction have prevented it.
28 Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qorraxda la'aanteed socdaa, Waxaan ka dhex istaagaa shirka, oo caawimaad waan u qayshadaa.
I went forth mourning, without anger, and rising up, I cried out in confusion.
29 Waxaan noqday walaalka dawacooyinka, Iyo saaxiibka gorayada.
I was the brother of snakes, and the companion of ostriches.
30 Dubkaygu intuu gubto ayuu iska diirmaa, Oo lafahayguna kulayl bay ku gubtaan.
My skin has become blackened over me, and my bones have dried up because of the heat.
31 Sidaas daraaddeed kataaradaydii waxay u rogmatay baroorasho, Oo biibiilahaygiina wuxuu u rogmaday kuwa ooya codkooda.
My harp has been turned into mourning, and my pipes have been turned into a voice of weeping.
