Ayuub 5
1 Hadda bal u yeedh, mid kuu jawaabayaa ma jiraa? Balse kuwa quduuska ah midkoodee baad u jeesanaysaa?
“Call out if you please, but who will answer? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 Waayo, ninkii nacas ah xanaaqiisaa dila, Oo kii doqon ahna ciilkiisaa dila.
For resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
3 Anba waxaan arkay nacas xidid yeeshay. Laakiinse degdeg baan u habaaray rugtiisii.
I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.
4 Carruurtiisu nabaadiino way ka fog yihiin, Oo iridda agteeda ayaa iyaga lagu burburiyaa, Mana jiro mid samatabbixiyaa.
His sons are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.
5 Kuwaas beertay goostaan waxaa cuna kuwa gaajaysan, Oo xataa qodxanta way kala soo dhex bixiyaan, Oo maalkoodana waxaa afka u kala haya siriq.
The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 Waayo, belaayo kama soo baxdo ciidda, Dhibaatona kama soo dhex booddo dhulka,
For distress does not spring from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
7 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu dhibaato buu u dhashay, Sida dhimbiiluhu kor ugu duulaan.
Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 Aniguse Ilaah baan baryi lahaa, Oo xaalkaygana Ilaah baan u dhiibi lahaa,
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and lay my cause before Him—
9 Kaasoo sameeya waxyaalo waaweyn oo aan la baadhi karin, Iyo waxyaalo yaab badan oo aan la tirin karin,
the One who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.
10 Oo dhulka roob ku di'iya, Beerahana biyo u soo dira.
He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.
11 Oo kuwa hooseeyana kor buu u qaadaa, Kuwa baroortana nabaadiinuu ku sarraysiiyaa.
He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.
12 Madhnaan buu ka dhigaa talada khaa'innada, Si ayan gacmahoodu u oofin karin farsamadoodii.
He thwarts the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands find no success.
13 Isagu kuwa xigmadda leh ayuu khiyaanadooda ku qabtaa; Oo kuwa qalloocan taladoodana degdeg baa loo rogaa.
He catches the wise in their craftiness, and sweeps away the plans of the cunning.
14 Oo maalinnimada ayay gudcur helaan, Oo hadhka ayay wax haabhaabtaan sida habeennimada oo kale.
They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.
15 Laakiinse isagu kuwa baahan ayuu ka badbaadiyaa seefta afkooda, Iyo kuwa xoogga badan gacantooda.
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.
16 Sidaas daraaddeed kii miskiin ahu rajuu leeyahay, Xumaantuse afkeeday xidhaa.
So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 Bal eeg, waxaa faraxsan ninkii Ilaah canaanto, Haddaba ha quudhsan Qaadirka edbintiisa.
Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
18 Waayo, isagu wax buu nabar u yeelaa, waana duubaa; Wuu dhaawacaa, gacmihiisuna way bogsiiyaan.
For He wounds, but He also binds; He strikes, but His hands also heal.
19 Wuxuu kaa samatabbixin doonaa lix dhibaato, Oo marka toddobaadna belaayo kuma taaban doonto innaba.
He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.
20 Wakhtiga abaarta ah dhimashuu kaa furan doonaa, Wakhtiga dagaalkana xoogga seefta.
In famine He will redeem you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
21 Waad ka qarsoonaan doontaa karbaashidda carrabka; Oo baabbi'iddu markay timaadana kama aad cabsan doontid innaba.
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and will not fear havoc when it comes.
22 Waad ku qosli doontaa baabbi'idda iyo abaarta, Oo dugaagga dhulkana kama aad baqi doontid.
You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the earth.
23 Waayo, axdi baad la yeelan doontaa dhagaxyada berrinka, Oo dugaagga duurkana heshiis baad la ahaan doontaa.
For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
24 Oo waxaad ogaan doontaa in teendhadaadu nabdoon tahay, Oo xeradaada waad soo booqon doontaa, oo waxba kama waayi doontid innaba.
You will know that your tent is secure, and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.
25 Oo weliba waxaad ogaan doontaa in farcankaagu badnaan doono, Oo dhashaaduna sida cawska dhulka bay ahaan doontaa.
You will know that your offspring will be many, your descendants like the grass of the earth.
26 Oo cimri dheer baad qabrigaaga ku geli doontaa, Sida xidhmo hadhuudh ah xilliga loo soo xidho.
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
27 Bal eeg, annagu xaalkan waannu baadhnay, oo sidaas bayna tahay, Haddaba bal maqal, oo nafsaddaada u ogow.
Indeed, we have investigated, and it is true! So hear it and know for yourself.”
