Ayuub 6
1 Markaasaa Ayuub jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi,
Then Job answered,
2 Hahe haddii dhibkayga la miisaami lahaa, Oo masiibadayda kafado la wada saari lahaa!
“Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
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, therefore my words have been rash.
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 within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5 Dameerdibadeedku miyuu ciyaa markuu caws haysto? Dibiguse miyuu ciyaa markii cunto la siiyo?
Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 Wixii aan dhadhan lahayn miyaa cusbola'aan la cuni karaa? Ukunta xabkeeduse miyuu dhadhan leeyahay?
Can that which has no flavour 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.
My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome 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, that God would grant the thing that 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!
even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Markaas waan istareexi lahaaye, Oo waxaan u adkaysan lahaa xanuun aan ii tudhayn, Waayo, ma aanan diidin Kan Quduuska ah erayadiisii.
Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, 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 wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
12 War xooggaygu ma xoogga dhagaxyada baa? Mise jidhkaygu ma naxaas baa?
Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
13 War sow ma aha inaanan iscaawiyi karayn? Sowse xigmaddu igama fogaan?
Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
14 Kii diyaar u ah inuu qalbi jabo waa in saaxiibkiis u naxariisto Waaba intaasoo uu ka tago cabsida Ilaaha Qaadirka ahe.
“To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from 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,
My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 Kuwaasoo barafka la madoobaaday, Oo uu barafka cad isku qariyo.
which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
17 Markay qorraxoodaan way libdhaan, Oo markay kululaadaanna meeshooday ka baabba'aan.
In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 Kuwa safraa gees bay uga leexdaan, Waxay u baxaan xagga cidlada oo halkaasay ku dhintaan.
The caravans that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 Waxaa fiiriyey kuwa Teemaa ka safray, Oo socotooyinkii Shebaa ayaa fishay.
The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 Way ceeboobeen, waayo, way rajeeyeen, Halkaasay yimaadeen, oo way hungoobeen.
They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
21 Waayo, hadda idinku sidaasaad ii noqoteen, Waxaad aragteen belaayo, waanad baqdeen.
For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
22 Bal anigu miyaan idhi, Wax i sii? Amase, Maalkaaga hadiyad iiga keen?
Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’? or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
23 Amase, Cadowga gacantiisa iga samatabbixi? Amase, Iga furo gacanta kan i dulma?
or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the 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. Cause me to understand my error.
25 Erayo runu xoog badanaa! Laakiinse bal canaantiinna muranka ahu maxay caddaysaa?
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
26 Ma waxaad u malaynaysaan inaad erayo canaanataan? Maxaa yeelay, kii quustay hadalkiisu waa sida dabayl oo kale.
Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
27 Waxaad saami u ridan lahaydeen maalka agoonta, Oo saaxiibkiinna waad ka faa'iidaysan lahaydeen.
Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28 Haddaba raalli ahaada oo bal i fiiriya, Waayo, sida runta ah been idiin sheegi maayo.
Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will 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.
Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
30 War ma caddaaladla'aan baa carrabkayga saaran? Mase carrabkaygaan waxyaalo xunxun dhadhamin karin?
Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
