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 they who are younger than I in years laugh at me, whose fathers I scorned to put as equals with the dogs of my flocks.
2 Nimanka xooggoodu dhammaaday Itaalka gacmahoodu muxuu ii tarayaa?
Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?
3 Waxay la weydoobeen baahi iyo abaar, Oo waxay u cararaan dhul engegan, kaasoo ah lamadegaan gudcur iyo cidlo ah.
Who suffer for want and famine in solitude; who flee into the wilderness [where all is] darkness, ruin, and desolation;
4 Waxay gurtaan geed cusbeed oo kaynta ku yaal, Oo cuntadooduna waxa weeye geed rotem la yidhaahdo xididdadiisa.
Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broom-bush roots as their bread;
5 Iyaga dadka waa laga dhex eryaa, Oo waxaa looga daba qayliyaa sida tuug looga daba qayliyo oo kale.
Who are driven forth from among [men], who are shouted after as though they were thieves,
6 Waa inay ku hoydaan haadaamaha dooxooyinka, Iyo boholaha dhulka iyo dhagaxyada dhexdooda.
To dwell in the caverns of the valleys, in holes of the earth, and on naked cliffs.
7 Waxay ka qayliyaan kaynta dhexdeeda, Oo waxay dhammaantood ku soo ururaan maraboob hoosteed.
Among the bushes they shriek; under briers they are huddled together,
8 Iyagu waa nacasyo iyo ceebaalowyo carruurtood, Oo dhulka waxaa lagaga saaray karbaash.
The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.
9 Oo haatan gabay cay ah baan u noqday, Oo halqabsi baan u ahay.
But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them.
10 Way i karahsadaan, oo meel fog bay iga istaagaan, Oo inay candhuufo wejiga iiga tufaanna iskama ay qabtaan.
They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle.
11 Ilaah baa xadhiggaygii debciyey, wuuna i dhibay, Oo taas aawadeed iyagu hortayda iskuma celiyaan.
Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.
12 Xagga midigtayda waxaa ka kaca ciyaalasuuq, Oo cagtaydana way iska riixaan, Oo waxay igu hor tuuraan jidadkoodii halligaadda.
Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths: they push away my feet, and they level against me their calamity-bringing paths.
13 Jidadkayga way halleeyaan, Oo waxay soo deddejiyaan masiibadayda; Oo mid caawiyaana ma jiro.
They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them.
14 Jabniin ballaadhan ayay ka soo dusaan, Oo burburka dhexdiisa ayay igaga soo dhacaan.
As [through] a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.
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.
Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away.
16 Haddaba naftaydaa igu dhex daadatay, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me;
17 Habeenkii lafahaygaa i muda, Oo xanuunka i cunayaana ima daayo innaba.
All night it holloweth out my bones out of my body; and my pursuers take no rest.
18 Xoogga weyn oo cudurkayga daraaddiis ayaa dharkaygii ku xumaaday, Oo wuxuu iigu cidhiidhisan yahay sidii jubbaddayda qoorteeda.
Through the Almlghty's power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me.
19 Isagu wuxuu igu tuuray dhoobada dhexdeeda, Oo waxaan noqday sidii boodh iyo dambas oo kale.
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20 Anigu waan kuu qayshadaa, adiguse iima aad jawaabtid, Waan ku soo hor istaagaa, adiguse ima aad aragtid.
I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me.
21 Calooladeeg baad igula soo jeesatay, Oo gacantaada itaalkeeda ayaad igu silcisaa.
Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.
22 Kor baad iigu qaaddaa dabaysha, Oo waxaad i fuushisaa dusheeda, Oo haddana waxaad igu baabbi'isaa duufaanka.
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.
23 Waayo, waan ogahay inaad ii kaxaynaysid dhimasho, Iyo guriga inta nool oo dhammu ku wada kulmayaan.
For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.
24 Laakiinse ninkii hoos u dhacaya sow gacantiisa sooma fidiyo? Markuu halligmayose sow ma qayshado?
But doth not a man stretch out his hand among ruins? or doth one not cry out therefrom [for help] when he meeteth his downfall?
25 Oo ninka dhibaataysan anigu sow uma ooyi jirin? Naftayduse sow masaakiinta uma murugoon jirin?
Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 Laakiinse markaan wanaagga filanayo waxaa ii iman jiray xumaanta, Oo markaan nuurka sugana waxaa ii iman jiray gudcurka.
That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness!
27 Qalbigaygu welwel buu la kacsan yahay, mana nasto, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me.
28 Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qorraxda la'aanteed socdaa, Waxaan ka dhex istaagaa shirka, oo caawimaad waan u qayshadaa.
I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.
29 Waxaan noqday walaalka dawacooyinka, Iyo saaxiibka gorayada.
I am a brother to [howling] monsters, and a companion to ostriches.
30 Dubkaygu intuu gubto ayuu iska diirmaa, Oo lafahayguna kulayl bay ku gubtaan.
My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat.
31 Sidaas daraaddeed kataaradaydii waxay u rogmatay baroorasho, Oo biibiilahaygiina wuxuu u rogmaday kuwa ooya codkooda.
And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.
