Ayuub 7
1 War sow hawl diyaar uma aha binu-aadmiga dhulka jooga? Sowse maalmihiisu ma aha sida kuwa shaqaale oo kale?
“Isn't life for human beings like serving a sentence of hard labor? Don't their days pass like those of a hired laborer?
2 Sida addoon hoos u xiisooda, Iyo sida shaqaale mushahaaradiisa filanaya,
Like some slave longing for a bit of shade, like a hired hand anxiously waiting for pay day,
3 Sidaasoo kale waxaa lay siiyaa bilo aan waxtar lahayn, Oo waxaa lay siiyaa habeenno daal badan.
I've been given months of emptiness and nights of misery.
4 Haddaba markaan jiifsado waxaan idhaahdaa, Bal goormaan kici doonaa? Laakiinse habeenku waa dheer yahay Oo tan iyo waaberiga waan rogrogmadaa.
When I go to bed I ask, ‘When shall I get up?’ But the night goes on and on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
5 Jidhkaygii waxaa ku dedan dirxiyo iyo qolfo ciid ah, Haddaba dubkaygu waa isqabsadaa dabadeedna wuu sii dillaacaa.
My body is covered with maggots and caked in dirt; my skin is cracked, with oozing sores.
6 Cimrigaygu waa ka dheereeyaa dungudbiyaha dharsameeyaha, Oo rajola'aan baan ku noolahay.
My days pass quicker than a weaver's shuttle and they come to an end without hope.
7 Bal xusuusta in noloshaydu tahay dabayl uun, Ishayduna mar dambe samaan ma arki doonto.
Remember that my life is just a breath; I will not see happiness again.
8 Kii i fiiriya ishiisu mar dambe ima arki doonto, Indhahaagu way i fiirin doonaan, laakiinse anigu ma jiri doono.
Those watching me won't see me anymore; your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
9 Sida daruurtu ay u libidho oo ay u baabba'do, Sidaasoo kale ayaa kii She'ool hoos u galaa uusan mar dambe kor uga soo noqonayn. (Sheol h7585)
When a cloud disappears, it's gone, just as anyone who goes down to Sheol does not come back up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Isagu mar dambe gurigiisii kuma soo noqon doono, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe ma ay aqoon doonto.
They will never return home, and the people they knew will forget them.
11 Sidaas daraaddeed anigu afkayga celin maayo; Waxaan ku hadli doonaa cidhiidhiga qalbigayga, Oo waxaan ku caban doonaa tiiraanyada qadhaadh oo naftayda.
So, no, I won't hold my tongue—I will speak in the agony of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 War anigu ma bad baan ahay, mase nibiriga badda, Bal maxaad ii daawanaysaa?
Am I the sea or a sea monster that you have to guard me?
13 Markaan idhaahdo, Sariirtaydaa ii raxayn doonta, Oo gogoshaydaa cabatinkayga iga sahali doonta,
If I tell myself, ‘I'll feel better if I lie down in my bed,’ or ‘it will help me to lie down on my couch,’
14 Ayaad riyooyin igu bajisaa, Oo waxaad igu cabsiisaa muuqashooyin.
then you scare me so much with dreams and terrify me with visions
15 Sidaas daraaddeed naftaydu waxay lafahayga ka doorataa Ceejin iyo geeri.
that I would rather be strangled—I would rather die than become just a bag of bones.
16 Noloshayda waan nacsanahay, oo dooni maayo inaan weligay sii noolaado; War iska kay daa, waayo, cimrigaygu waa neefsasho oo kale.
I hate my life! I know I won't live long. Leave me alone because my life is just a breath.
17 Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo aad u weynaynaysaa, Balse maxaad uga fikiraysaa isaga?
Why are human beings so important to you; why are you so concerned about them
18 Bal maxaad subax kasta u soo booqanaysaa, Oo aad daqiiqad kasta u tijaabinaysaa?
that you inspect them every morning and test them every moment? Won't you ever stop staring at me?
19 Bal ilaa goormaadan iga sii jeesanayn, Oo aadan iska kay daynayn intaan candhuuftayda liqayo?
Won't you ever leave me alone long enough to catch my breath?
20 Oo haddii aan dembaabay bal maxaan kuu sameeyaa Kaaga dadka ilaaliyow? Bal maxaad iiga dhigatay calaamad, Si aan nafsaddayda culaab ugu noqdo?
What have I done wrong? What have I done to you, Watcher of Humanity? Why have you made me your target, so that I'm a burden even to myself?
21 Oo bal maxaad xadgudubkayga iiga saamaxi weyday? Oo dembigaygana maxaad iiga fogayn weyday? Waayo, haatan ciiddaan ku dhex jiifsan doonaa, Aad baadna ii doondooni doontaa, laakiinse siima aan jiri doono.
If so why don't you pardon my sins, and take away my guilt? Right now I'm going to lie down in the dust, and though you will look for me, I will be gone.”
