Ayuub 5
1 Hadda bal u yeedh, mid kuu jawaabayaa ma jiraa? Balse kuwa quduuska ah midkoodee baad u jeesanaysaa?
Call now, is there any who will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones will thou turn?
2 Waayo, ninkii nacas ah xanaaqiisaa dila, Oo kii doqon ahna ciilkiisaa dila.
For vexation kills the foolish man, and jealousy slays the silly one.
3 Anba waxaan arkay nacas xidid yeeshay. Laakiinse degdeg baan u habaaray rugtiisii.
I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 Carruurtiisu nabaadiino way ka fog yihiin, Oo iridda agteeda ayaa iyaga lagu burburiyaa, Mana jiro mid samatabbixiyaa.
His sons are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
5 Kuwaas beertay goostaan waxaa cuna kuwa gaajaysan, Oo xataa qodxanta way kala soo dhex bixiyaan, Oo maalkoodana waxaa afka u kala haya siriq.
whose harvest the hungry eat up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapes for their substance.
6 Waayo, belaayo kama soo baxdo ciidda, Dhibaatona kama soo dhex booddo dhulka,
For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring out of the ground,
7 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu dhibaato buu u dhashay, Sida dhimbiiluhu kor ugu duulaan.
but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 Aniguse Ilaah baan baryi lahaa, Oo xaalkaygana Ilaah baan u dhiibi lahaa,
But as for me, I would seek to God. And to God I would commit my cause,
9 Kaasoo sameeya waxyaalo waaweyn oo aan la baadhi karin, Iyo waxyaalo yaab badan oo aan la tirin karin,
who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number,
10 Oo dhulka roob ku di'iya, Beerahana biyo u soo dira.
who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields,
11 Oo kuwa hooseeyana kor buu u qaadaa, Kuwa baroortana nabaadiinuu ku sarraysiiyaa.
so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety.
12 Madhnaan buu ka dhigaa talada khaa'innada, Si ayan gacmahoodu u oofin karin farsamadoodii.
He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 Isagu kuwa xigmadda leh ayuu khiyaanadooda ku qabtaa; Oo kuwa qalloocan taladoodana degdeg baa loo rogaa.
He takes the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
14 Oo maalinnimada ayay gudcur helaan, Oo hadhka ayay wax haabhaabtaan sida habeennimada oo kale.
They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 Laakiinse isagu kuwa baahan ayuu ka badbaadiyaa seefta afkooda, Iyo kuwa xoogga badan gacantooda.
But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
16 Sidaas daraaddeed kii miskiin ahu rajuu leeyahay, Xumaantuse afkeeday xidhaa.
So a poor man has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Bal eeg, waxaa faraxsan ninkii Ilaah canaanto, Haddaba ha quudhsan Qaadirka edbintiisa.
Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise thou the chastening of the Almighty.
18 Waayo, isagu wax buu nabar u yeelaa, waana duubaa; Wuu dhaawacaa, gacmihiisuna way bogsiiyaan.
For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 Wuxuu kaa samatabbixin doonaa lix dhibaato, Oo marka toddobaadna belaayo kuma taaban doonto innaba.
He will deliver thee in six troubles. Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 Wakhtiga abaarta ah dhimashuu kaa furan doonaa, Wakhtiga dagaalkana xoogga seefta.
In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Waad ka qarsoonaan doontaa karbaashidda carrabka; Oo baabbi'iddu markay timaadana kama aad cabsan doontid innaba.
Thou shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue. Neither shall thou be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 Waad ku qosli doontaa baabbi'idda iyo abaarta, Oo dugaagga dhulkana kama aad baqi doontid.
At destruction and dearth thou shall laugh, nor shall thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 Waayo, axdi baad la yeelan doontaa dhagaxyada berrinka, Oo dugaagga duurkana heshiis baad la ahaan doontaa.
For thou shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 Oo waxaad ogaan doontaa in teendhadaadu nabdoon tahay, Oo xeradaada waad soo booqon doontaa, oo waxba kama waayi doontid innaba.
And thou shall know that thy tent is in peace, and thou shall visit thy fold, and shall miss nothing.
25 Oo weliba waxaad ogaan doontaa in farcankaagu badnaan doono, Oo dhashaaduna sida cawska dhulka bay ahaan doontaa.
Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Oo cimri dheer baad qabrigaaga ku geli doontaa, Sida xidhmo hadhuudh ah xilliga loo soo xidho.
Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
27 Bal eeg, annagu xaalkan waannu baadhnay, oo sidaas bayna tahay, Haddaba bal maqal, oo nafsaddaada u ogow.
Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
