Ayuub 7
1 War sow hawl diyaar uma aha binu-aadmiga dhulka jooga? Sowse maalmihiisu ma aha sida kuwa shaqaale oo kale?
“People need to work hard on this earth, like soldiers do; all during the time that we are alive, we work hard [RHQ], like laborers/servants do.
2 Sida addoon hoos u xiisooda, Iyo sida shaqaale mushahaaradiisa filanaya,
We are like [SIM] slaves who keep wanting to be in the cool shade, and we are like [SIM] workers who are waiting to be paid.
3 Sidaasoo kale waxaa lay siiyaa bilo aan waxtar lahayn, Oo waxaa lay siiyaa habeenno daal badan.
God has given me many months [in which I think that it is] useless [to remain alive]; he has allotted/given to me many nights during which I feel miserable.
4 Haddaba markaan jiifsado waxaan idhaahdaa, Bal goormaan kici doonaa? Laakiinse habeenku waa dheer yahay Oo tan iyo waaberiga waan rogrogmadaa.
When I lie down [at night] I say, ‘How long will it be until morning?’ But nights are long, and I (toss/turn over and over) [on my bed] 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 scabs; pus oozes out of my open sores.
6 Cimrigaygu waa ka dheereeyaa dungudbiyaha dharsameeyaha, Oo rajola'aan baan ku noolahay.
My days pass as quickly as a weaver’s (shuttle/stick that takes the thread back and forth), and they end without my confidently expecting [that things will be better the next day].
7 Bal xusuusta in noloshaydu tahay dabayl uun, Ishayduna mar dambe samaan ma arki doonto.
God, do not forget that my life is [as short as] a breath [MET]; I [think that] I [SYN] will never again be happy.
8 Kii i fiiriya ishiisu mar dambe ima arki doonto, Indhahaagu way i fiirin doonaan, laakiinse anigu ma jiri doono.
God, you [SYN] see me now, but [some day] you will not see me any more. You will search for me, but I will be gone [because I will be dead].
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)
Like [SIM] clouds (disperse/break up) and then disappear, people [die and] descend to the place where dead people are, and they do not return; (Sheol h7585)
10 Isagu mar dambe gurigiisii kuma soo noqon doono, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe ma ay aqoon doonto.
they never return to their houses, and people among whom they lived do not remember them any more.
11 Sidaas daraaddeed anigu afkayga celin maayo; Waxaan ku hadli doonaa cidhiidhiga qalbigayga, Oo waxaan ku caban doonaa tiiraanyada qadhaadh oo naftayda.
So, I will not be silent; while I am suffering I will speak; I will complain [to God about what has happened to me] because I [SYN] am very angry.
12 War anigu ma bad baan ahay, mase nibiriga badda, Bal maxaad ii daawanaysaa?
[God, ] why do you watch closely what I am doing? [Do you think that] I am a [dangerous] sea monster?
13 Markaan idhaahdo, Sariirtaydaa ii raxayn doonta, Oo gogoshaydaa cabatinkayga iga sahali doonta,
When [I lie down at night, ] I think, ‘I will be comforted here on my bed; my pain will be less while I am sleeping.’
14 Ayaad riyooyin igu bajisaa, Oo waxaad igu cabsiisaa muuqashooyin.
But then you give me dreams that cause me to be afraid; you give me visions that terrify me,
15 Sidaas daraaddeed naftaydu waxay lafahayga ka doorataa Ceejin iyo geeri.
with the result that I would prefer to be strangled to death than to continue to [be alive] being only a bunch of bones.
16 Noloshayda waan nacsanahay, oo dooni maayo inaan weligay sii noolaado; War iska kay daa, waayo, cimrigaygu waa neefsasho oo kale.
I detest continuing to be alive; I do not want to live for many years [HYP]. Allow me to be alone, [because I will be alive] for only a very short remaining time [HYP].
17 Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo aad u weynaynaysaa, Balse maxaad uga fikiraysaa isaga?
“We human beings are not [very important]; so, why do you pay a lot of attention to us [DOU]?
18 Bal maxaad subax kasta u soo booqanaysaa, Oo aad daqiiqad kasta u tijaabinaysaa?
You look at us every morning [to see what we are doing], and examine us every moment [to see if we are doing what is right].
19 Bal ilaa goormaadan iga sii jeesanayn, Oo aadan iska kay daynayn intaan candhuuftayda liqayo?
(When will you stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit?/Please stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit.) [RHQ]
20 Oo haddii aan dembaabay bal maxaan kuu sameeyaa Kaaga dadka ilaaliyow? Bal maxaad iiga dhigatay calaamad, Si aan nafsaddayda culaab ugu noqdo?
[Why do] you watch me constantly? If I sin, that certainly does not harm you! Why have you set me up like a target to shoot at? Do you consider me to be a heavy load that you are forced to carry?
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 I have sinned, ] are you not able to forgive me for my sins— the things that I have done that are wrong? Soon I will lie in my grave; you will search for me, but [you will not find me because] I will be [dead and] gone.”
