Ayuub 31

1 Waxaan axdi la dhigtay indhahayga, Haddaba bal sidee baan gabadh u fiirinayaa?

I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?

2 Waayo, waa maxay qaybta laga helo Ilaaha xagga sare jooga, Iyo dhaxalka laga helo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah oo sarreeya?

For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?

3 Sow belaayo uma aha kuwa xaqa daran, Iyo masiibo kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya?

Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?

4 Isagu sow uma jeedin socodkayga oo dhan? Oo sow ma tirinin tallaabooyinkayga oo dhan?

Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?

5 Haddaan hawo been ah ku socday, Oo ay cagtaydu khiyaano u dheeraysay,

If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;

6 (Ha laygu miisaamo miisaan siman, Si Ilaah ku ogaado daacadnimadayda, )

(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness: )

7 Haddii tallaabadaydu jidka gees uga leexatay, Oo qalbigaygu uu indhahayga raacay, Iyo haddii ay bar ceeb ahu gacmahayga ku dhegtay,

If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;

8 Markaas anigu aan wax beero, oo mid kale ha cuno, Oo xataa waxa beertayda ka soo baxa ha la wada rujiyo.

Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.

9 Haddii qalbigayga ay naagu sasabatay, Oo aan albaabka deriskayga ku ag dhuuntay,

If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;

10 Markaas naagtaydu nin kale wax ha u shiiddo, Oo kuwa kale ha ku kor foororsadeen iyada.

Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.

11 Waayo, kaasu waa dembi baas, Oo waa xumaan ay xaakinnadu ciqaabi lahaayeen,

For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:

12 Waayo, kaasu waa dab wax dhammeeya ilaa uu baabbi'iyo, Oo waxa ii soo baxa oo dhan wuu wada rujin lahaa.

It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.

13 Haddaan addoonkayga ama addoontayda dacwadooda quudhsaday, Markay ila mudacayeen,

If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

14 Haddaba bal maxaan samayn doonaa markii Ilaah sara joogsado? Oo markuu i soo booqdose bal maxaan ugu jawaabi doonaa?

What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?

15 Kii uurka dhexdiisa igu abuuray sow isagana ma abuurin? Oo sow uurka nalaguma dhex samayn?

Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

16 Haddaan miskiin u diiday wax uu doonayay, Ama aan indhaha carmalka illin ka keenay,

If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;

17 Amase haddaan quudkayga keligay cunay, Oo ayan agoontu wax ka cunin,

If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

18 (Saas ma aha, laakiinse isaga tan iyo yaraantaydii waan koriyey sidii mid aabbihiis koriyo oo kale, Oo tan iyo markaan uurkii hooyaday ka soo baxayna waxaan iyada u ahaan jiray horseed, )

(For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother; )

19 Haddaan arkay qof arrad daraaddiis u dhimanaya, Amase sabool baahan oo aan dhar haysan,

If I saw one near to death for need of clothing, and that the poor had nothing covering him;

20 Hadduusan uurka iiga ducayn, Amase hadduusan isku kululayn dhogorta idahayga,

If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;

21 Caawimaaddaydii oo aan iridda uga jeeday daraaddeed, Haddaan agoon gacantayda u qaaday,

If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;

22 Markaas garabkaygu ha kala fakado, Oo gacantayduna kalagooyska ha ka jabto.

May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.

23 Waayo, masiibo xag Ilaah ka timid ayaa i cabsiisay, Oo sarraysnaantiisa daraaddeedna anigu waxba ma aanan samayn karin.

For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

24 Haddaan dahab rajo ka dhigtay, Oo aan dahabka saafiga ah ku idhi, Kalsoonidayda baad tahay,

If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;

25 Haddaan ku reyreeyey maalkayga badan daraaddiis, Iyo waxyaalaha badan oo gacantaydu heshay daraaddood,

If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;

26 Haddaan fiiriyey qorraxda oo dhalaalaysa, Ama dayaxa oo iftiin ku socda,

If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,

27 Oo markaas qalbigayga haddii qarsoodi loo sasabtay, Oo anoo caabudaya aan afkayga gacanta ugu dhunkaday,

A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;

28 Kaasu weliba waa dembi ay xaakinnadii ciqaabi lahaayeen, Waayo, waxaan daacadlaawe u ahaan lahaa Ilaaha wax walba ka sarreeya.

That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.

29 Haddaan ku reyreeyey kan i neceb halligaaddiisa, Ama aan aad u farxay markii belaayadu isaga heshay,

If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;

30 (Afkayga uma aanan oggolaan inuu ku dembaabo Naftiisa oo aan habaar u weyddiisto; )

(For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life; )

31 Dadka teendhadayda jooga haddayan isku odhan, Yaa heli kara mid aan hilibkiisa ka dhergin?

If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?

32 Shisheeyuhu jidka kuma baryi jirin, Laakiinse socotada ayaan albaabbadayda u furi jiray,

The traveller did not take his night's rest in the street, and my doors were open to anyone on a journey;

33 Haddaan xadgudubkaygii daboolay sidii binu-aadmiga oo kale, Anigoo xumaantayda laabtayda ku qarinaya,

If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,

34 Maxaa yeelay, dadka badan waan ka baqay, Oo quudhsiga qaraabaday ayaa i cabsiiyey, Oo saas aawadeed ayaan ku aamusay, oo dibadda uma bixin.

For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;

35 Hoogaye haddaan lahaan lahaa mid i maqla! (Bal eeg, waa tan calaamaddaydii, haddaba Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu ha ii jawaabo; ) Yaa i siinaya eedayntii uu cadowgaygu iga qoray!

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

36 Sida xaqiiqada ah garabkaygaan ku qaadan lahaa, Oo weliba madaxaan ku xidhan lahaa sidii taaj oo kale.

Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;

37 Oo waxaan isaga u sheegi lahaa tirada tallaabooyinkaygu inta ay tahay; Oo waxaan isaga ugu soo dhowaan lahaa sidii amiir oo kale.

I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.

38 Haddii dalkaygu uu iga qayliyo, Oo jeexjeexiisu ay dhammaantood wada ooyaan,

If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;

39 Haddaan midhihiisa lacagla'aan ku cunay, Ama aan sabab u noqday in kuwii lahaa ay dhintaan,

If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;

40 Sarreenka meeshiisii yamaarug ha ka soo baxo, Oo shiciirka meeshiisiina gocondho ha ka soo baxdo. Ayuub erayadiisii way dhammaadeen.

Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.
