1 A nd Job again took up his discussion and said,

Oo haddana Ayuub hadalkiisuu sii waday, oo wuxuu yidhi,

2 O h, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me,

Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ahaado sidii waayihii hore, Iyo sidii aan ahaan jiray markii Ilaah i dhawri jiray,

3 W hen His lamp shone above and upon my head and by His light I walked through darkness;

Markay laambaddiisu madaxayga ku ifin jirtay, Oo aan nuurkiisa gudcurka ku dhex mari jiray,

4 A s I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship and counsel of God were over my tent,

Markii aan xoog lahaan jiray, Oo qarsoodiga Ilaahna teendhadayda saarnaan jiray,

5 W hen the Almighty was yet with me and my children were about me,

Markii Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu ila jiri jiray, Oo carruurtayduna ay hareerahayga joogi jireen,

6 W hen my steps were washed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

Markay tallaabooyinkaygu subagga la barwaaqoobi jireen, Oo ay webiyaasha saliidda ahu dhagaxa iiga soo shubmi jireen!

7 W hen I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the street,

Markaan magaalada iriddeeda u bixi jiray, Oo aan kursigayga meel bannaan ku diyaarin jiray.

8 T he young men saw me and hid themselves; the aged rose up and stood;

Dhallinyaradu intay i arkaan ayay dhuuman jireen, Oo odayaashuna intay sara joogsadaan ayay istaagi jireen,

9 T he princes refrained from talking and laid their hands on their mouths;

Amiirraduna intay hadalka joojiyaan, Ayay afka gacanta saari jireen.

10 T he voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths.

Ragga gobta ahuna way aamusi jireen, Oo carrabkoodiina dhabxanagguu ku dhegi jiray.

11 F or when the ear heard, it called me happy and blessed me; and when the eye saw, it testified for me,

Waayo, markii dhegu i maqasho, way ii ducayn jirtay, Oo iluna markay i aragto, way ii marag furi jirtay.

12 B ecause I delivered the poor who cried, the fatherless and him who had none to help him.

Maxaa yeelay, waxaan samatabbixin jiray miskiinka qaylinaya, Iyo weliba agoonka aan wax u kaalmeeya lahayn.

13 T he blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

Ka halligaadda ku dhow ducadiisa ayaa igu soo degi jirtay, Oo ta carmalka ahna qalbigeeda waan ka farxin jiray ilaa ay gabay la rayrayso.

14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me or clothed itself with me; my justice was like a robe and a turban or a diadem or a crown!

Waxaan huwan jiray xaqnimo, oo iyana dhar bay ii noqon jirtay, Oo caddaaladdayduna waxay ii ahaan jirtay sida khamiis iyo cimaamad oo kale.

15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

Kuwa indhaha la' indho baan u ahaan jiray, Kuwa curyaanka ahna cago baan u ahaan jiray.

16 I was a father to the poor and needy; the cause of him I did not know I searched out.

Aabbaan u ahaan jiray saboolka baahan, Oo ka aanan aqoonna xaalkiisa waan baadhi jiray.

17 A nd I broke the jaws or the big teeth of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

Ka xaqa daran daamankiisa waan jebin jiray, Oo wixii uu dhufsadana ilkihiisaan ka soo bixin jiray.

18 T hen I said, I shall die in or beside my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

Markaasaan is-idhi, Buulkaygaan ku dhex dhiman doonaa, Oo cimrigayguna wuxuu u badan doonaa sida cammuudda oo kale.

19 M y root is spread out and open to the waters, and the dew lies all night upon my branch.

Xididkaygu biyaha xaggooduu u faafayaa, Oo laamahaygana habeenkii oo dhan waxaa saaran sayax.

20 M y glory and honor are fresh in me, and my bow gains new strength in my hand.

Sharaftaydu way igu cusub tahay, Oo qaansadayduna gacantayday ku cusboonaatay.

21 M en listened to me and waited and kept silence for my counsel.

Dadku dhegtuu ii dhigi jiray, oo i sugi jiray, Oo taladayda aawadeedna way u aamusi jireen.

22 A fter I spoke, they did not speak again, and my speech dropped upon them.

Weligood igama ay daba hadlin, Oo hadalkayguna korkooduu ku soo dhibci jiray.

23 A nd they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouths wide as for the spring rain.

Oo waxay ii dhawri jireen sidii roobka oo kale, Oo waxay afkooda u kala furi jireen sidii roobka dambe loo sugo.

24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and their depression did not cast down the light of my countenance.

Waan u af caddayn jiray markay qalbi jabaan, Oo nuurkii jaahaygana hoos uma ay tuuri jirin.

25 I chose their way and sat as chief, and dwelt like a king among his soldiers, like one who comforts mourners.

Waxaan dooran jiray jidkooda, oo sida nin madax ah ayaan u fadhiisan jiray, Oo waxaan u dhaqmi jiray sidii boqor ciidan dhex fadhiya, Iyo sidii mid u tacsiyeeya kuwa baroorta.
