Ayuub 4
1 Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
2 Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
If one venture a word unto thee, wilt thou be weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4 Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5 Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
But now it is come upon thee, and thou art weary; it toucheth thee, and thou art affrighted.
6 War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, and thy hope the integrity of thy ways?
7 Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8 Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow mischief, reap the same.
9 Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger are they consumed.
10 Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
The lion roareth, and the fierce lion howleth — yet 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 perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12 Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
Now a word was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
13 Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
Fear came upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were made to shake.
15 Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
Then a spirit passed before my face, that made the hair of my flesh to stand up.
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,
It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before mine eyes; I heard a still voice:
17 War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
'Shall mortal man be just before God? Shall a man be pure before his Maker?
18 Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants, and His angels He chargeth with folly;
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 them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
20 Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
Betwixt morning and evening they are shattered; they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
