1 T hen Job answered,

Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 I have heard many such things; wearisome and miserable comforters are you all!

Anigu waan maqlay waxyaalo badan oo caynkaas ah. Idinku dhammaantiin waxaad tihiin qalbiqabowjiyayaal qalqalloocan.

3 W ill your futile words of wind have no end? Or what makes you so bold to answer ?

Hadal dabayl ahu miyuu dhammaadaa? Balse maxaa kaa dhirfinaya oo aad u jawaabaysaa?

4 I also could speak as you do, if you were in my stead; I could join words together against you and shake my head at you.

Haddii naftiinnu ahaan lahayd naftayda, Anigu waan u hadli kari lahaa sidiinna oo kale, Oo hadal waan idinku kor tuuli kari lahaa, Oo madaxaygana waan idinku ruxruxi kari lahaa.

5 I would strengthen and encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would soothe your suffering.

Laakiinse anigu afkayga waan idinku xoogayn lahaa, Oo tacsiyaynta bushimahayguna way idin qalbi qabowjin lahayd.

6 I f I speak, my sorrow is not soothed or lessened; and if I refrain, in what way am I eased?

Anigu haddaan hadlo xanuunkaygu igama yaraado, Oo haddaan iska aamusona miyaan in ka yar xanuunsadaa?

7 B ut now has taken away my strength. You have made desolate all my family and associates.

Laakiinse haatan wuu i daaliyey, Oo guutadaydii oo dhan cidlo baad ka dhigtay.

8 Y ou have laid firm hold on me and have shriveled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness are further evidence; testify to my face.

Waad i qabsatay, taasuna waa marag iga gees ah, Oo waxaa igu kaca macluulkayga, oo fool ka fool ayuu igu markhaati furaa.

9 ' > My adversary Satan] has torn in his wrath and hated and persecuted me; he has gnashed upon me with his teeth; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.

Isagoo cadhaysan ayuu i dildillaacsaday, oo wuu i silciyey, Wuuna igu ilko jirriqsaday, Oo cadowgaygii indhuhuu igu caddeeyey.

10 h ave gaped at me with their mouths; they have struck me upon the cheek insolently; they massed themselves together and conspired unanimously against me.

Iyagu afkay ii kala qaadeen, Oo quudhsasho ayay dhabanka igaga dharbaaxeen, Oo dhammaantoodna way isu kay wada urursadaan.

11 G od has delivered me to the ungodly (to the evil one) and cast me into the hands of the wicked (Satan’s host).

Ilaah wuxuu gacantooda i geliyaa cibaadalaawayaasha, Oo wuxuu igu dhex tuuraa gacmaha kuwa sharka ah.

12 I was living at ease, but crushed me and broke me apart; yes, he seized me by the neck and dashed me in pieces; then he set me up for his target.

Anigoo iska istareexsan ayuu i kala jejebiyey, Oo intuu surka i qabtay ayuu i kala burburiyey, Oo weliba intuu meel i qotomiyey ayuu goolibaadh iga dhigtay.

13 a rrows whiz around me. He slashes open my vitals and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.

Qaansoolayaashiisii ayaa i hareereeya, Oo kelyahaygii ayuu kala googooyaa, Oo xammeetidaydiina dhulkuu ku daadshaa.

14 s tabs me, making breach after breach and attacking again and again; he runs at me like a giant and irresistible warrior.

Isagu wuu i jejebiyaa oo nabarba nabar buu iiga kor mariyaa; Oo sidii nin xoog badan ayuu orod igula soo kacaa.

15 I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and have defiled my horn (my insignia of strength) in the dust.

Korkayga waxaan ku tolay joonyad, Oo xooggaygiina ciiddaan ku riday.

16 M y face is red and swollen with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death,

Wejigaygii oohin buu la beddelmay, Oo indhaha daboolkoodana waxaa ii jooga hooskii dhimashada,

17 A lthough there is no guilt or violence in my hands and my prayer is pure.

In kastoo aanay xaqdarro ku jirin gacmahayga, Oo uu baryootankayguna daahir yahay.

18 O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place.

Dhulkow, dhiiggayga ha qarinin, Oo qayladayduna yaanay meelay ku nasato lahaan.

19 E ven now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, and He who vouches for me is on high.

Oo hadda bal eeg, markhaatigaygii wuxuu joogaa samada, Oo kii ii dammiintaana xagga saruu joogaa.

20 M y friends scorn me, but my eye pours out tears to God.

Saaxiibbaday way igu qoslaan, Laakiinse indhahaygu ilmo bay u daadiyaan xag Ilaah.

21 O h, that there might be one who would plead for a man with God and that he would maintain his right with Him, as a son of man pleads with or for his neighbor!

Bal muu jiro mid dadka Ilaah ula hadla, Siduu nin deriskiisa ugu hadlo oo kale.

22 F or when a few years are come, I shall go the way from which I shall not return.

Waayo, markii dhawr sannadood dhaafaan, Waxaan mari doonaa jidka aanan mar kale dib uga soo noqonayn.
