1 T hen Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 I f we venture to converse with you, will you be offended? Yet who can restrain himself from speaking?

Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?

3 B ehold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.

Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.

4 Y our words have held firm him who was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.

Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.

5 B ut now it is come upon you, and you faint and are grieved; it touches you, and you are troubled and dismayed.

Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.

6 I s not your fear of God your confidence and the integrity and uprightness of your ways your hope?

War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?

7 T hink, I beg of you: who, being innocent, ever perished? Or where were those upright and in right standing with God cut off?

Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?

8 A s I myself have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble and mischief reap the same.

Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.

9 B y the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.

Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.

10 T he roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.

Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.

11 T he old and strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.

Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.

12 N ow a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.

Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.

13 I n thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,

14 F ear came upon me and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.

15 T hen a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up!

Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.

16 s tood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, and then I heard a voice, saying,

Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,

17 C an mortal man be just before God, or be more right than He is? Can a man be pure before his Maker, or be more cleansed than He is?

War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?

18 E ven in His servants He puts no trust or confidence, and His angels He charges with folly and error—

Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.

19 H ow much more those who dwell in houses (bodies) of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed like the moth.

Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!

20 B etween morning and evening they are destroyed; without anyone noticing it they perish forever.

Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.

21 I s not their tent cord plucked up within them ? Do they not die, and that without wisdom?

Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
