Ayuub 31

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

I made a covenant with mine eyes, and I will not think upon a virgin.

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

Now what portion has God given from above? and is there an inheritance [given] of the Mighty One from the highest?

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

Alas! destruction to the unrighteous, and rejection to them that do iniquity.

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

Will he not see my way, and number all my steps?

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

But if I had gone with scorners, and if too my foot has hasted to deceit:

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

(for I am weighed in a just balance, and the Lord knows my innocence: )

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

if my foot has turned aside out of the way, or if mine heart has followed mine eye, and if too I have touched gifts with my hands;

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

then let me sow, and let others eat; and let me be uprooted on the earth.

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

If my heart has gone forth after another man's wife, and if I laid wait at her doors;

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

then let my wife also please another, and let my children be brought low.

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

For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, [in the case] of defiling [another] man's wife.

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

For it is a fire burning on every side, and whomsoever it attacks, it utterly destroys.

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

And if too I despised the judgment of my servant or [my] handmaid, when they pleaded with me;

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

what then shall I do if the Lord should try me? and if also he should at all visit me, can I make an answer?

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

Were not they too formed as I also was formed in the womb? yea, we were formed in the same womb.

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

But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not cause the eye of the widow to fail.

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

And if too I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart [of it] to the orphan;

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 nourished [them] as a father from my youth and guided [them] from my mother's womb.)

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

And if too I overlooked the naked as he was perishing, and did not clothe him;

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

and if the poor did not bless me, and their shoulders were [not] warmed with the fleece of my lambs;

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

if I lifted my hand against an orphan, trusting that my strength was far superior [to his]:

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

let them my shoulder start from the blade-bone, and my arm be crushed off from the elbow.

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

For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I cannot bear up by reason of his burden.

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

If I made gold my treasure, and if too I trusted the precious stone;

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

and if too I rejoiced when my wealth was abundant, and if too I laid my hand on innumerable [treasures]:

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

(do we not see the shining sun eclipsed, and the moon waning? for they have not [power to continue]: )

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

and if my heart was secretly deceived, and if I have laid my hand upon my mouth and kissed it:

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

let this also then be reckoned to me as the greatest iniquity: for I [should] have lied against the Lord Most High.

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

And if too I was glad at the fall of mine enemies, and mine heart said, Aha!

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

let then mine ear hear my curse, and let me be a byword among my people in my affliction.

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

And if too my handmaids have often said, Oh that we might be satisfied with his flesh; (whereas I was very kind:

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

for the stranger did not lodge without, and my door was opened to every one that came: )

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

or if too having sinned unintentionally, I hid my sin;

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 I did not stand in awe of a great multitude, so as not to declare boldly before them: ) and if too I permitted a poor man to go out of my door with an empty bosom:

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!

(Oh that I had a hearer, ) and if I had not feared the hand of the Lord; and [as to] the written charge which I had against any one,

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

I would place [it] as a chaplet on my shoulders, and read it.

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

And if I did not read it and return it, having taken nothing from the debtor:

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

If at any time the land groaned against me, and if its furrows mourned together;

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

and if I ate its strength alone without price, and if I too grieved the heart of the owner of the soil, by taking [aught] from [him]:

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

then let the nettle come up to me instead of wheat, and a bramble instead of barley. And Job ceased speaking.
