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 men who are younger than I am make fun of me— men whose fathers I greatly despised, with the result that I would not even have allowed them to help my dogs guard my sheep.
2 Nimanka xooggoodu dhammaaday Itaalka gacmahoodu muxuu ii tarayaa?
They were men who were old and (weak/worn out); so (what could I gain from them working for me?/I would have gained nothing from them working for me.) [RHQ]
3 Waxay la weydoobeen baahi iyo abaar, Oo waxay u cararaan dhul engegan, kaasoo ah lamadegaan gudcur iyo cidlo ah.
They were very poor and hungry, with the result that they chewed on roots [at night] in dry and desolate places.
4 Waxay gurtaan geed cusbeed oo kaynta ku yaal, Oo cuntadooduna waxa weeye geed rotem la yidhaahdo xididdadiisa.
They pulled up plants in the desert [and ate them] and warmed themselves by [burning] the roots of broom trees.
5 Iyaga dadka waa laga dhex eryaa, Oo waxaa looga daba qayliyaa sida tuug looga daba qayliyo oo kale.
Everyone shouted at them as though they were thieves and expelled them [from their areas].
6 Waa inay ku hoydaan haadaamaha dooxooyinka, Iyo boholaha dhulka iyo dhagaxyada dhexdooda.
They were forced to live in caves in the hills, in holes in the ground, and in the sides of cliffs.
7 Waxay ka qayliyaan kaynta dhexdeeda, Oo waxay dhammaantood ku soo ururaan maraboob hoosteed.
In the bushes they howled [like animals because they were hungry], and they huddled together under thornbushes.
8 Iyagu waa nacasyo iyo ceebaalowyo carruurtood, Oo dhulka waxaa lagaga saaray karbaash.
They were people without good sense, whose names no one knows; they have been expelled from the land [where they were born].
9 Oo haatan gabay cay ah baan u noqday, Oo halqabsi baan u ahay.
“And now their [children] sing songs to make fun of me. They tell jokes about me.
10 Way i karahsadaan, oo meel fog bay iga istaagaan, Oo inay candhuufo wejiga iiga tufaanna iskama ay qabtaan.
They are disgusted with me, and they [usually] stay away from me, [but when they see me, ] they are happy to spit in my face.
11 Ilaah baa xadhiggaygii debciyey, wuuna i dhibay, Oo taas aawadeed iyagu hortayda iskuma celiyaan.
Because [it is as though] [MET] God has cut my bowstring, [he has caused me to be unable to defend myself, ] and he has humbled me, and my enemies have done to me whatever they wanted.
12 Xagga midigtayda waxaa ka kaca ciyaalasuuq, Oo cagtaydana way iska riixaan, Oo waxay igu hor tuuraan jidadkoodii halligaadda.
(Gangs/Groups of violent youths) attack me and force me to run away; they prepare to destroy me.
13 Jidadkayga way halleeyaan, Oo waxay soo deddejiyaan masiibadayda; Oo mid caawiyaana ma jiro.
They prevent me from escaping, and they [do] not [need] anyone to help them (OR, there is no one to help me).
14 Jabniin ballaadhan ayay ka soo dusaan, Oo burburka dhexdiisa ayay igaga soo dhacaan.
[It is as though I am a city wall and] [SIM] they have broken through the wall, and they have come crashing down on me.
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 am very terrified; My dignity/honor has been taken away as though [SIM] [it has been] blown away by the wind, and my prosperity has disappeared like [SIM] clouds disappear.
16 Haddaba naftaydaa igu dhex daadatay, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
“And now I [SYN] am about to die [IDM]; I suffer every day.
17 Habeenkii lafahaygaa i muda, Oo xanuunka i cunayaana ima daayo innaba.
My bones ache during the night, and the pain that torments me never stops.
18 Xoogga weyn oo cudurkayga daraaddiis ayaa dharkaygii ku xumaaday, Oo wuxuu iigu cidhiidhisan yahay sidii jubbaddayda qoorteeda.
[It is as though God] seizes my clothes and chokes me with the collar of my coat.
19 Isagu wuxuu igu tuuray dhoobada dhexdeeda, Oo waxaan noqday sidii boodh iyo dambas oo kale.
He has thrown me into the mud; I am [not worth anything more than] dust and ashes.
20 Anigu waan kuu qayshadaa, adiguse iima aad jawaabtid, Waan ku soo hor istaagaa, adiguse ima aad aragtid.
“I cry out to God, but he does not answer/help me; I stand up [and pray], but he does not pay any attention.
21 Calooladeeg baad igula soo jeesatay, Oo gacantaada itaalkeeda ayaad igu silcisaa.
He acts very cruelly toward me; with all of his power [MTY] he causes me to suffer.
22 Kor baad iigu qaaddaa dabaysha, Oo waxaad i fuushisaa dusheeda, Oo haddana waxaad igu baabbi'isaa duufaanka.
He [allows] the wind to lift me up and blow me away, and he tosses me up and down in a violent storm.
23 Waayo, waan ogahay inaad ii kaxaynaysid dhimasho, Iyo guriga inta nool oo dhammu ku wada kulmayaan.
I know that he will cause me to die, which is what happens to everyone [MTY] who is alive.
24 Laakiinse ninkii hoos u dhacaya sow gacantiisa sooma fidiyo? Markuu halligmayose sow ma qayshado?
“When people experience disasters, and they sit on a pile of ruins and cry out for help, others surely [RHQ] reach out their hand to help them.
25 Oo ninka dhibaataysan anigu sow uma ooyi jirin? Naftayduse sow masaakiinta uma murugoon jirin?
[That is what I did previously]. I wept for people who were experiencing troubles, and I felt sorry for poor/needy people.
26 Laakiinse markaan wanaagga filanayo waxaa ii iman jiray xumaanta, Oo markaan nuurka sugana waxaa ii iman jiray gudcurka.
But when I expected good things [to happen to me], evil things happened; when I waited for light/happiness, all I experienced was darkness/unhappiness [MET].
27 Qalbigaygu welwel buu la kacsan yahay, mana nasto, Oo waxaan la kulmay wakhti dhibaato badan.
I am very distressed [IDM], all the time; I suffer every day.
28 Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qorraxda la'aanteed socdaa, Waxaan ka dhex istaagaa shirka, oo caawimaad waan u qayshadaa.
I go about very discouraged; I stand up and plead for people to help me.
29 Waxaan noqday walaalka dawacooyinka, Iyo saaxiibka gorayada.
My wailing sounds as sad as [MET] the cries of jackals/foxes and ostriches.
30 Dubkaygu intuu gubto ayuu iska diirmaa, Oo lafahayguna kulayl bay ku gubtaan.
My skin has become dark/black and is peeling off, and I have a fever [which causes my body to feel like it is] burning.
31 Sidaas daraaddeed kataaradaydii waxay u rogmatay baroorasho, Oo biibiilahaygiina wuxuu u rogmaday kuwa ooya codkooda.
Previously, I played joyful music on my harp and with my flute, but now I play only the sad music of those who mourn.”
