Ayuub 31

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

I MADE a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?

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

For what [is] the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

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

Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

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

Doth not he see my ways, and number all my steps?

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

If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit;

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

(Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine 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 hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to mine 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; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

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

If mine heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have laid wait 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 grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

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

For that were an heinous crime; yea, it were 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 is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

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

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, 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 shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall 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 in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

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

If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

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

Or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten 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, )

(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother’s womb; )

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

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

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

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

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

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate:

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

Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

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

For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I could do nothing.

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

If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence;

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

If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

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

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

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

And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand:

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 judges: for I should have lied to God that is above.

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

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him;

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

(Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse; )

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

If the men of my tent said not, Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his flesh?

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

The stranger did not lodge in the street; but I opened my doors to the traveller;

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

If like Adam I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom;

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 feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not 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 that I had one to hear me! (lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me; ) and [that I had] the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

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

Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto 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 declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

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

If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;

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

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

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

Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
