Ayuub 7
1 War sow hawl diyaar uma aha binu-aadmiga dhulka jooga? Sowse maalmihiisu ma aha sida kuwa shaqaale oo kale?
Is there not a limited time of service to a mortal upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired laborer?
2 Sida addoon hoos u xiisooda, Iyo sida shaqaale mushahaaradiisa filanaya,
As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:
3 Sidaasoo kale waxaa lay siiyaa bilo aan waxtar lahayn, Oo waxaa lay siiyaa habeenno daal badan.
So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto me.
4 Haddaba markaan jiifsado waxaan idhaahdaa, Bal goormaan kici doonaa? Laakiinse habeenku waa dheer yahay Oo tan iyo waaberiga waan rogrogmadaa.
When I He down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am wearied with tossings about till the dawn of day.
5 Jidhkaygii waxaa ku dedan dirxiyo iyo qolfo ciid ah, Haddaba dubkaygu waa isqabsadaa dabadeedna wuu sii dillaacaa.
My flesh is covered with worms and clods of dust: my skin is burst open, and become loathsome.
6 Cimrigaygu waa ka dheereeyaa dungudbiyaha dharsameeyaha, Oo rajola'aan baan ku noolahay.
My days hasten away more swiftly than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.
7 Bal xusuusta in noloshaydu tahay dabayl uun, Ishayduna mar dambe samaan ma arki doonto.
Oh remember that nothing but a breath is my life; that my eye will not again see happiness;
8 Kii i fiiriya ishiisu mar dambe ima arki doonto, Indhahaagu way i fiirin doonaan, laakiinse anigu ma jiri doono.
The eye of him that seeth me now will not behold me again: [thou fixest] thy eyes upon me, and I am no more.
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)
As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again. (Sheol h7585)
10 Isagu mar dambe gurigiisii kuma soo noqon doono, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe ma ay aqoon doonto.
He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize him any more.
11 Sidaas daraaddeed anigu afkayga celin maayo; Waxaan ku hadli doonaa cidhiidhiga qalbigayga, Oo waxaan ku caban doonaa tiiraanyada qadhaadh oo naftayda.
Therefore will I also not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish 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 a sea, or a monster, that thou settest a watch over me?
13 Markaan idhaahdo, Sariirtaydaa ii raxayn doonta, Oo gogoshaydaa cabatinkayga iga sahali doonta,
For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint:
14 Ayaad riyooyin igu bajisaa, Oo waxaad igu cabsiisaa muuqashooyin.
Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me;
15 Sidaas daraaddeed naftaydu waxay lafahayga ka doorataa Ceejin iyo geeri.
So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine.
16 Noloshayda waan nacsanahay, oo dooni maayo inaan weligay sii noolaado; War iska kay daa, waayo, cimrigaygu waa neefsasho oo kale.
I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought.
17 Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo aad u weynaynaysaa, Balse maxaad uga fikiraysaa isaga?
What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him?
18 Bal maxaad subax kasta u soo booqanaysaa, Oo aad daqiiqad kasta u tijaabinaysaa?
And that thou shouldst visit him every morning, probe him every moment?
19 Bal ilaa goormaadan iga sii jeesanayn, Oo aadan iska kay daynayn intaan candhuuftayda liqayo?
How long wilt thou not turn thy regard from me, nor let; me loose till I swallow down my spittle?
20 Oo haddii aan dembaabay bal maxaan kuu sameeyaa Kaaga dadka ilaaliyow? Bal maxaad iiga dhigatay calaamad, Si aan nafsaddayda culaab ugu noqdo?
If I have sinned, what [injury] can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become a burden 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.
And why wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.
