< Ayuub 6 >

1 Markaasaa Ayuub jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,
Then Job answered and said,
2 Hahe haddii dhibkayga la miisaami lahaa, Oo masiibadayda kafado la wada saari lahaa!
“Oh, if only my anguish were weighed; if only all my calamity were laid in the balance!
3 Wuu ka sii cuslaan lahaa cammuudda badaha, Sidaas daraaddeed hadalkaygii degdeg buu noqday.
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas. That is why my words were reckless.
4 Waayo, Ilaaha Qaadirka ah fallaadhihiisii ayaa igu dhex jira, Oo naftayduna waabaydoodii way cabbaysaa, Oo Ilaah cabsiintiisiina anigay igu soo kacdaa.
For the arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks up the poison; the terrors of God have arranged themselves in array against me.
5 Dameerdibadeedku miyuu ciyaa markuu caws haysto? Dibiguse miyuu ciyaa markii cunto la siiyo?
Does the wild donkey bray in despair when he has grass? Or does the ox low in hunger when it has fodder?
6 Wixii aan dhadhan lahayn miyaa cusbola'aan la cuni karaa? Ukunta xabkeeduse miyuu dhadhan leeyahay?
Can that which has no taste be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 Naftaydu way diidaa inay taabato, Waxay ii yihiin sida cunto la naco oo kale.
I refuse to touch them; they are like disgusting food to me.
8 Hahe bal maan helo waxa aan u baryootamo, Oo Ilaah bal muu i siiyo waxa aan u xiisoodo!
Oh, that I might have my request; oh, that God would grant me the thing I long for:
9 Oo xataa Ilaah bal muu iska jeclaado inuu i burburiyo, Oo bal muu gacantiisa iga sii daayo oo i baabbi'iyo!
that it would please God to crush me once, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off from this life!
10 Markaas waan istareexi lahaaye, Oo waxaan u adkaysan lahaa xanuun aan ii tudhayn, Waayo, ma aanan diidin Kan Quduuska ah erayadiisii.
May this still be my consolation— even if I exult in pain that does not lessen: that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 Bal xooggaygu waa maxay inaan sugo aawadeed? Aakhirkayguse waa maxay inaan dulqaato aawadeed?
What is my strength, that I should try to wait? What is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 War xooggaygu ma xoogga dhagaxyada baa? Mise jidhkaygu ma naxaas baa?
Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh made of bronze?
13 War sow ma aha inaanan iscaawiyi karayn? Sowse xigmaddu igama fogaan?
Is it not true that I have no help in myself, and that wisdom has been driven out of me?
14 Kii diyaar u ah inuu qalbi jabo waa in saaxiibkiis u naxariisto Waaba intaasoo uu ka tago cabsida Ilaaha Qaadirka ahe.
To the person who is about to faint, faithfulness should be shown by his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 Walaalahay waa u khiyaano badnaayeen sida durdur oo kale, Sida biyaha durdurrada ee iska baabba'a,
But my brothers have been as faithful to me as a desert streambed, as channels of water that pass away to nothing,
16 Kuwaasoo barafka la madoobaaday, Oo uu barafka cad isku qariyo.
which are darkened because of ice over them, and because of the snow that hides itself in them.
17 Markay qorraxoodaan way libdhaan, Oo markay kululaadaanna meeshooday ka baabba'aan.
When they thaw out, they vanish; when it is hot, they melt out of their place.
18 Kuwa safraa gees bay uga leexdaan, Waxay u baxaan xagga cidlada oo halkaasay ku dhintaan.
The caravans that travel by their way turn aside for water; they wander into barren land and then perish.
19 Waxaa fiiriyey kuwa Teemaa ka safray, Oo socotooyinkii Shebaa ayaa fishay.
Caravans from Tema looked there, while companies of Sheba hoped in them.
20 Way ceeboobeen, waayo, way rajeeyeen, Halkaasay yimaadeen, oo way hungoobeen.
They were disappointed because they had been confident of finding water. They went there, but they were deceived.
21 Waayo, hadda idinku sidaasaad ii noqoteen, Waxaad aragteen belaayo, waanad baqdeen.
For now you friends are nothing to me; you see my dreadful situation and are afraid.
22 Bal anigu miyaan idhi, Wax i sii? Amase, Maalkaaga hadiyad iiga keen?
Did I say to you, 'Give something to me?' Or, 'Offer me a gift from your wealth?'
23 Amase, Cadowga gacantiisa iga samatabbixi? Amase, Iga furo gacanta kan i dulma?
Or, 'Save me from my adversary's hand?' Or, 'Ransom me from the hand of my oppressors?'
24 Bal wax i bar, oo anna waan iska aamusayaa; Oo i garansii wixii aan ku qaldamay.
Teach me, and I will hold my peace; make me understand where I have been wrong.
25 Erayo runu xoog badanaa! Laakiinse bal canaantiinna muranka ahu maxay caddaysaa?
How painful are truthful words! But your arguments, how do they actually rebuke me?
26 Ma waxaad u malaynaysaan inaad erayo canaanataan? Maxaa yeelay, kii quustay hadalkiisu waa sida dabayl oo kale.
Do you plan to ignore my words, treating the words of a desperate man like the wind?
27 Waxaad saami u ridan lahaydeen maalka agoonta, Oo saaxiibkiinna waad ka faa'iidaysan lahaydeen.
Indeed, you cast lots for a fatherless child, and haggle over your friend like merchandise.
28 Haddaba raalli ahaada oo bal i fiiriya, Waayo, sida runta ah been idiin sheegi maayo.
Now, therefore, please look at me, for surely I would not lie to your face.
29 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye iska noqda, yaan caddaaladla'aanu dhicin, Ee mar kale iska noqda, waayo, xaalkaygu waa xaq.
Relent, I beg you; let there be no injustice with you; Indeed, relent, for my cause is just.
30 War ma caddaaladla'aan baa carrabkayga saaran? Mase carrabkaygaan waxyaalo xunxun dhadhamin karin?
Is there evil on my tongue? Cannot my mouth detect malicious things?
