Ayuub 31

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

A covenant had I made with my eyes: how then should I fix my look on a virgin?

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

And what then would have been my portion of God from above? and what lot of the Almighty from on high?

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

Is not calamity [ready] for the unjust? and misfortune for the wrong-doers?

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

Behold, he truly seeth my ways, and numbereth all my steps;

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

[And knoweth] whether I have walked with vain desires, or if my foot hath hastened after deceit.

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

Let him weigh me then in a righteous balance, and let God acknowledge my integrity,

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

If my step have turned aside from the [proper] way, and my heart have walked after my eyes, and if any blemish have cleaved to 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 another eat; and let what I have growing be rooted out.

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

If my heart have been beguiled toward a woman, or if I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door:

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

Then may my wife labor at the mill for another, and may strangers ill-use her;

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

For this would be incest; yea, it would be an iniquity [to be punished 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.

For it would be a fire that consumeth down to the place of corruption, and would root out all my products.

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

If ever I cast aside the justice due to my man-servant and my maid-servant, when they contended with me:

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

What then could I do when God should rise up? and when he should investigate, what could I answer him?

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

Did not he that made me make him born or a woman? and did not the same one fashion us in the womb?

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

If ever I denied the wish of the indigent, or ever allowed the eyes of the widow to fall [in vain hopes];

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

Or if ever I ate my bread by myself alone, and the fatherless did not eat thereof;

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 from my youth he was brought up with me, as though we were of one father, and I have guided her [as though she was sprung] from my mother's womb; )

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

If ever I saw any one perishing for want of clothing, or the needy without covering:

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

If his loins have not blessed me, and if he have not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

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

If I have swung my hand against the fatherless, because I saw in the gate those that would help me:

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

Then may my shoulder fall from my shoulder-blade, and my arm be broken from the channel-bone;

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

For dreaded by me was the calamitous punishment of God, and against his highness I can accomplish nothing.

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

If I have made gold my confidence, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my trust:

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

If ever I rejoiced because my wealth was abundant, and because my hand had gotten much;

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

If ever I looked at the light [of the sun] when he shone brightly and on the moon walking in splendor:

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

And my heart became misled in secret, and my hand kissed my mouth:

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

This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge; for thus would I have denied the God that is above.

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

If ever I rejoiced at the downfall of him that hated me, or was elated when evil befell him; —

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

But I suffered not my mouth to sin by denouncing with a curse his soul: —

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

If the men of my tent said not, Oh is there one that is not satisfied of his flesh; —

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

In the street a stranger had not to lodge; my doors I held open to the roadside;

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

If I covered up my transgressions like a common man, by hiding in my bosom my iniquity;

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

Because I dreaded the great multitude, or because the contempt of families did terrify me, so that I kept silence, and dared not to go out of the 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!

Oh who will bring me one that would hear me! behold, here is my plea; may the Almighty answer me; and any record which my opponent may have written, —

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

Surely upon my shoulder would I carry it: I would bind it as a crown unto me.

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

The number of my steps would I tell him: as [to] a prince would I go near unto him.—

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

If my land ever cried out because of me, or if its furrows wept together;

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

If I ever consumed its strength without payment, or caused the soul of its owners to grieve:

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

Then may instead of wheat, thorns come forth, and instead of barley, cockle. (Here end the words of Job.)
