Ayuub 32

1 Markaasay saddexdaas nin iska daayeen inay Ayuub u jawaabaan, maxaa yeelay, isagu xaq buu isla ahaa.

Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.

2 Markaas waxaa cadhooday Eliihuu ina Barakeel oo ahaa reer Buus oo qoladiisu ahayd reer Raam, oo aad buu Ayuub ugu xanaaqay, maxaa yeelay, isagu xaq buu isu qaatay intuu Ilaah xaq u qaadan lahaa.

Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].

3 Oo weliba wuxuu aad ugu cadhooday saddexdiisii saaxiib, maxaa yeelay, iyagu jawaab ma ay helin, ee weliba Ayuub way xukumeen.

He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.

4 Haddaba Eliihuu inuu Ayuub la hadlo ayuu sugayay, maxaa yeelay, iyagu isaga way ka waaweynaayeen.

Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.

5 Oo Eliihuu markuu arkay inaan jawaab afka saddexdaas nin lagu arag ayuu aad u cadhooday.

But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.

6 Oo Eliihuu ina Barakeel oo ahaa reer Buus ayaa jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay nin dhallinyar, idinkuse odayaal baad tihiin, Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan dib isugu celiyey, oo aan ugu dhici waayay inaan ra'yigayga idiin caddeeyo.

And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.

7 Waxaan is-idhi, Waxaa roon kuwa da'da waaweynu inay hadlaan, Kuwa cimriga dheeruna inay xigmad na baraan.

I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’

8 Laakiinse binu-aadmiga ruux baa ku jira, Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah neeftiisa ayaa iyaga waxgarasho siisa.

But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.

9 Kuwa cimriga weynu ma aha kuwa xigmadda leh, Odayaashuna ma aha kuwa garsooridda garta.

It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.

10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan idin leeyahay, Bal i dhegaysta; Aniguna ra'yigayga waan idiin caddaynayaa.

“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’

11 Bal eega, erayadiinnii waan sugayay, Oo xigmaddiinniina waan dhegaysanayay, Intaad baadhbaadhayseen wixii aad odhan lahaydeen.

I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.

12 Sida runta ah aad baan idiin dhegaysanayay, Oo bal eega, laydinkuma arag mid Ayuub rumaysiiyey, Amase mid erayadiisii uga jawaabay.

I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.

13 Isjira inaydaan odhan, Annagu xigmad waannu helnay; Ilaah baa isaga ka adkaan kara, laakiinse dadi ma kari karo.

So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.

14 Waayo, isagu erayadiisii iguma uu soo jeedin, Oo anigu hadalladiinnii isaga ugu jawaabi maayo.

Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.

15 Iyagii way yaabsan yihiin, oo mar dambena ma ay jawaabaan; Oo wax ay ku yidhaahdaanna ma leh.

“You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].

16 Haddaba anigu miyaan u sii sugaa, hadalka ay waayeen daraaddiis, Iyo istaagiddooda daraaddeed, oo ay mar dambe jawaabi waayeen?

But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.

17 Haddaba aniguna qaybtayda waan ka jawaabayaa, Oo ra'yigaygana waan caddaynayaa.

So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.

18 Waayo, waxaa iga buuxa erayo; Oo ruuxa gudahayga ku jira ayaa i qasba.

I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.

19 Bal eega, calooshaydu waa sidii khamri sibraar ku jirta oo aan lahayn meelay ka neefsato, Xataa sidii sibraarro ku dhow inay qarxaan.

My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.

20 Anigu waan hadli doonaa, si aan u qalbi qabowsado; Oo bushimahayga waan kala qaadi doonaa, waanan jawaabi doonaa.

I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].

21 Waan idin baryayaaye, yaanan ninna u eexan, Oo weliba ninna u bixin maayo magacyo faanid ah.

I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.

22 Waayo, anigu ma aan aqaan si loo bixiyo magacyo faanid ah, Haddii kalese Kii i sameeyey ayaa haddiiba i qaadi lahaa.

I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
