Ayuub 34
1 Oo weliba Eliihuu wuu jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,
Then Elihu continued:
2 Raggiinna xigmadda lahow, erayadayda maqla; Oo kuwiinna aqoonta lahow, i dhegaysta.
“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
3 Waayo, dhegtu waxay hadalka u kala soocdaa Sida dhabxanaggu cuntada u dhedhemiyo oo kale.
For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
4 Aynu dooranno waxa qumman, Oo aynu dhexdeenna ka ogaanno waxa wanaagsan.
Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
5 Waayo, Ayuub wuxuu yidhi, Anigu xaq baan ahay, Laakiinse Ilaah baa gartaydii ii diiday.
For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
6 Oo in kastoo aan xaq ahay haddana waxaa laygu tiriyey inaan beenlow ahay; Oo in kastoo aanan xadgudub lahayn, haddana nabarkaygu waa mid aan bogsan karin.
Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 Ninkee baa Ayuub la mid ah, Oo quudhsashada u cabba sida biyaha oo kale,
What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
8 kaasoo raaca kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya, Oo dadka sharka ah la socda?
He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
9 Waayo, isagu wuxuu yidhi, Ninna wax uma tarto Inuu Ilaah ku farxo.
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
10 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed i dhegaysta, raggiinna waxgaradka ahow; Ilaah inuu xaqdarro sameeyo way ka fog tahay; Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ahna inuu xumaan falo way ka fog tahay.
Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
11 Waayo, nin walba shuqulkiisuu ka abaalmariyaa, Oo nin kastana siduu socodkiisu ahaa ayuu ugu abaalgudaa.
For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
12 Laakiinse hubaal Ilaah xaqdarro ma uu samayn doono, Oo Kan Qaadirka ahuna garta ma uu qalloocin doono.
Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
13 Bal yaa isaga ku amray inuu dhulka u taliyo? Yaase isaga dusha ka saaray dunida oo dhan?
Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
14 Hadduu keligiis iska fikiri lahaa, Oo uu ruuxiisa iyo neeftiisa soo urursan lahaa,
If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
15 Dadka oo dhammu waa wada baabbi'i lahaa, Oo binu-aadmiguna ciidduu ku noqon lahaa.
all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
16 Haddaba haddaad waxgarad tahay, waxan maqal; Oo erayadayda codkooda dhegayso.
If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
17 War mid xaqnimada neceb miyuu wax u talinayaa? Oo ma waxaad xukumaysaa midka xaqa ah oo xoogga badan?
Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
18 Ma waxaa boqor lagu yidhaahdaa, Shar baad tahay? Amase kuwa gobta ah, Cibaadalaawayaal baad tihiin?
who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
19 Haddaba ma saasaad ku odhan lahayd kan aan amiirrada u eexan, Ama aan taajirka uga roonayn kan miskiinka ah? Waayo, iyagu dhammaantood waa shuqulkii gacmihiisu sameeyeen.
who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
20 Iyagu daqiiqad bay ku dhintaan, Dadku habeenbadhkiiba way gariiraan oo naftaa ka baxda, Kuwa xoogga badanuna way libdhaan iyadoo aan gacanna la saarin.
They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
21 Waayo, indhihiisu waxay fiiriyaan jidadka binu-aadmiga, Wuxuuna wada arkaa socodkiisa oo dhan.
For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
22 Ma jiro gudcur ama hoosdhimasho toona Oo ay kuwa xumaanta sameeyaa ku dhuuntaan.
There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
23 Waayo, isagu uma baahna inuu in kale binu-aadmiga ka sii fikiro, Inuu isagu Ilaah hortiisa garsoorid u tago.
For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
24 Ragga xoogga badan ayuu u kala jejebiyaa siyaalo aan la baadhi karin, Oo meeshoodiina kuwa kaluu ka kiciyaa.
He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
25 Maxaa yeelay, isagu shuqulladooda wuu yaqaan; Oo habeennimuu afgembiyaa si ay u burburaan.
Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
26 Sharkooda daraaddiis ayuu iyaga wax ku dhuftaa, Iyagoo dadka kale u jeedo,
He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
27 Maxaa yeelay, lasocodkiisii way ka leexdeen, Oo waxay diideen inay jidadkiisa midnaba ka fikiraan.
because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
28 Sidaasay qaylada masaakiinta isaga soo gaadhsiiyeen, Oo isna qaylada kuwa dhibaataysan ayuu maqlay.
They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
29 Haddii quruun lagu sameeyo iyo haddii qof lagu sameeyaba, Markuu nasiyo yaa belaayo kicin kara? Oo markuu wejigiisa qariyana bal yaa isaga fiirin kara?
But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
30 Inaan cibaadalaawe boqornimada qabsan, Si uusan u jirin mid dadka shirqool u dhiga.
that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
31 Waayo, ninna miyuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Anigu edbintii waan qaatay, oo mar dambe ninna xumayn maayo,
Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
32 Haddaba waxaanan u jeedin i bar, Oo haddaan xumaan sameeyeyna mar dambe u noqon maayo?
Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
33 Abaalgudkiisu ma wuxuu ahaan doonaa sidaad doonaysid, inaad diiddid aawadeed? Waayo, waa inaad adigu doorataa, mana aha aniga; Haddaba waxaad taqaanid ku hadal.
Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
34 Nin kasta oo xigmad leh oo i maqla iyo dadka waxgaradka ahuba Waxay igu odhan doonaan,
Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
35 Ayuub aqoonla'aan buu ku hadlaa, Oo hadalkiisana xigmadu kuma jirto.
‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in Ayuub tan iyo ugudambaysta la sii imtixaamo, Maxaa yeelay, wuxuu u jawaabaa sida dadka sharka ah.
If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
37 Waayo, dembigiisii wuxuu ku sii darsadaa caasinimo, Oo dhexdeenna ayuu ka sacab tuntaa, Erayadiisana wuxuu ku sii badiyaa Ilaah.
For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
