Ayuub 4
1 Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
2 Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
If one says a word, will it be a weariness to you? but who is able to keep from saying what is in his mind?
3 Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
Truly, you have been a helper to others, and you have made feeble hands strong;
4 Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.
5 Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.
6 War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
Is not your fear of God your support, and your upright way of life your hope?
7 Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?
8 Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.
9 Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
By the breath of God destruction takes them, and by the wind of his wrath they are cut off.
10 Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
Though the noise of the lion and the sounding of his voice, may be loud, the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
The old lion comes to his end for need of food, and the young of the she-lion go wandering in all directions.
12 Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.
13 Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
In troubled thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep comes on men,
14 Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
Fear came on me and shaking, and my bones were full of trouble;
15 Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
And a breath was moving over my face; the hair of my flesh became stiff:
16 Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,
Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:
17 War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
May a man be upright before God? or a man be clean before his Maker?
18 Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels;
19 Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;
20 Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note.
21 Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?
