Ayuub 9
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then Job replied,
2 Sida runta ah waan ogahay inay sidaas tahay, Laakiinse sidee baa nin xaq ugu noqon karaa Ilaah hortiisa?
“Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
3 Oo hadduu doonayo inuu la doodo isaga, Kunkii erayba mid qudha ugama jawaabi karo.
If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
4 Qalbigiisu waa xigmad miidhan, oo xooggiisuna waa badan yahay; Bal yaa intuu isaga ka qalafsanaaday barwaaqoobay?
God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
5 Isagu wuxuu rujiyaa buuraha, oo iyana ma ay yaqaaniin, Markuu cadhadiisa ku afgembiyo.
He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
6 Dhulka wuu ka ruxruxaa meeshiisa, Oo tiirarkiisuna way wada gariiraan.
He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
7 Wuxuu amraa qorraxda, oo iyana sooma ay baxdo, Xiddigahana wuu xidhaa.
[Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
8 Isagoo keliya ayaa samooyinka kala bixiya, Oo wuxuu ku dul socdaa hirarka badda.
He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
9 Oo wuxuu sameeyey ururrada xiddigaha oo la yidhaahdo Orsada iyo Oriyon iyo Toddobaadyada, Iyo xiddigaha koonfureed.
He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
10 Wuxuu sameeyaa waxyaalo waaweyn oo aan la baadhi karin, Oo ah waxyaalo yaab badan oo aan la tirin karin.
Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
11 Wuu i ag maraa, aniguse uma jeedo isaga, Oo wuu iga gudbaa, aniguse waxba kama ogi.
He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
12 Bal wax buu qabsadaa ee, yaa ka hor joogsan kara? Oo bal yaa ku odhan doona, War maxaad samaynaysaa?
If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
13 Ilaah cadhadiisa ka soo celin maayo; Oo kalmeeyayaasha kibirka lahuna isagay hoos foororaan.
God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
14 Haddaba bal anigu sidee baan ugu jawaabi karaa, Oo aan erayadayda kala doortaa si aan isaga kula hadlo?
“So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
15 In kastoo aan xaq ahaan lahaa, weliba uma aanan jawaabeen isaga, Illowse waxaan iska baryi lahaa Kan i xukumaya.
Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
16 Haddaan baryi lahaa oo uu ii jawaabi lahaa, Ma aanan rumaysteen xataa inuu codkayga maqlay.
If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
17 Waayo, isagu wuxuu igu jejebiyaa duufaan, Oo nabrahaygana sababla'aan buu u sii kordhiyaa.
He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
18 Isagu iima oggola inaan neefsado, Laakiinse qadhaadh buu iga buuxiyaa.
[It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
19 Bal haddaan xagga xoogga ka hadalno isagu waa itaal miidhan, Balse xagga xukunka yaa wakhti ii sheegaya?
If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
20 In kastoo aan xaq ahay, afkayga ayaa i xukumi doona, In kastoo aan qummanahay, waxaa igu caddaan doonta qalloocnaan.
Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
21 Anigu waan qummanahay, oo nafsaddayda kama fikiro, Noloshaydana waan quudhsadaa.
“I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
22 Kulli waa isku mid, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan idhaahdaa, Isagu wuu wada baabbi'iyaa kan qumman iyo kan sharka ahba.
But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
23 Haddii belaayadu haddiiba wax disho, Wuu ku majaajiloon doonaa jirrabaadda kuwa aan xaqa qabin.
When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
24 Dhulka waxaa gacanta loo geliyey kan sharka ah; Oo isna wuxuu indhasaabaa xaakinnadii dhulka. Bal hadduusan isaga ahayn, haddaba waa ayo?
God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
25 Haddaba cimrigaygu waa ka sii dheereeyaa nin orda, Wuu iga cararaa, oo wanaagna ma arko.
“My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
26 Wuxuu ii dhaafay sida doonniyaha dheereeya, Iyo sida gorgor raq ku soo deganaya.
My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
27 Haddaan odhan lahaa, Cabatinkayga waan illoobi doonaa, Oo tiiraanyada jaaha iga saaran waan iska tuuri doonaa, oo waan faraxsanaan doonaa,
If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
28 Waxaan ka baqayaa caloolxumadayda oo dhan, Waayo, waan ogahay inaadan ii haysanayn sidii mid aan xaq qabin.
then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
29 Kolleyba waa lay xukumayaaye, Bal maxaan waxtarla'aan u hawshoodaa?
He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
30 Haddaan biyo baraf ah ku maydho, Oo aan gacmahayga aad iyo aad u nadiifiyo,
If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
31 Adigu waxaad igu dhex tuuri doontaa bohol, Oo xataa dharkaygu waa i nici doonaa.
he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
32 Waayo, isagu nin ma aha, sidaydoo kale, si aan isaga ugu jawaabo, Oo aannu labadayaduba xukun u wada galno.
“God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
33 Ma jiro nin noo dhexeeya, Oo labadayadaba gacantiisa na saari kara.
There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
34 Isagu ushiisa ha iga fogeeyo, Oo cabsidiisuna yaanay i bajin.
I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
35 Markaas waan hadli lahaa, oo isaga kama aanan baqeen; Waayo, anigu sidaas ma ahi.
If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
