Ayuub 4
1 Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? 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 faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness 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 righteous cut off?
8 Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and 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 stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
12 Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little 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, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood 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 form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
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 more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged 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 less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
