1 I s there not an warfare and hard labor to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?

War sow hawl diyaar uma aha binu-aadmiga dhulka jooga? Sowse maalmihiisu ma aha sida kuwa shaqaale oo kale?

2 A s a servant earnestly longs for the shade and the evening shadows, and as a hireling who looks for the reward of his work,

Sida addoon hoos u xiisooda, Iyo sida shaqaale mushahaaradiisa filanaya,

3 S o am I allotted months of futile, and nights of misery are appointed to me.

Sidaasoo kale waxaa lay siiyaa bilo aan waxtar lahayn, Oo waxaa lay siiyaa habeenno daal badan.

4 W hen I lie down I say, When shall I arise and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro till the dawning of the day.

Haddaba markaan jiifsado waxaan idhaahdaa, Bal goormaan kici doonaa? Laakiinse habeenku waa dheer yahay Oo tan iyo waaberiga waan rogrogmadaa.

5 M y flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and has become loathsome, and it closes up and breaks out afresh.

Jidhkaygii waxaa ku dedan dirxiyo iyo qolfo ciid ah, Haddaba dubkaygu waa isqabsadaa dabadeedna wuu sii dillaacaa.

6 M y days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

Cimrigaygu waa ka dheereeyaa dungudbiyaha dharsameeyaha, Oo rajola'aan baan ku noolahay.

7 O h, remember that my life is but wind (a puff, a breath, a sob); my eye shall see good no more.

Bal xusuusta in noloshaydu tahay dabayl uun, Ishayduna mar dambe samaan ma arki doonto.

8 T he eye of him who sees me shall see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.

Kii i fiiriya ishiisu mar dambe ima arki doonto, Indhahaagu way i fiirin doonaan, laakiinse anigu ma jiri doono.

9 A s the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol (the place of the dead) shall come up no more.

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.

10 H e shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

Isagu mar dambe gurigiisii kuma soo noqon doono, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe ma ay aqoon doonto.

11 T herefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul!

Sidaas daraaddeed anigu afkayga celin maayo; Waxaan ku hadli doonaa cidhiidhiga qalbigayga, Oo waxaan ku caban doonaa tiiraanyada qadhaadh oo naftayda.

12 A m I the sea, or the sea monster, that You set a watch over me?

War anigu ma bad baan ahay, mase nibiriga badda, Bal maxaad ii daawanaysaa?

13 W hen I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint,

Markaan idhaahdo, Sariirtaydaa ii raxayn doonta, Oo gogoshaydaa cabatinkayga iga sahali doonta,

14 T hen You scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,

Ayaad riyooyin igu bajisaa, Oo waxaad igu cabsiisaa muuqashooyin.

15 S o that I would choose strangling and death rather than these my bones.

Sidaas daraaddeed naftaydu waxay lafahayga ka doorataa Ceejin iyo geeri.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath (futility).

Noloshayda waan nacsanahay, oo dooni maayo inaan weligay sii noolaado; War iska kay daa, waayo, cimrigaygu waa neefsasho oo kale.

17 W hat is man that You should magnify him and think him important? And that You should set Your mind upon him?

Bal binu-aadmigu muxuu yahay oo aad u weynaynaysaa, Balse maxaad uga fikiraysaa isaga?

18 A nd that You should visit him every morning and try him every moment?

Bal maxaad subax kasta u soo booqanaysaa, Oo aad daqiiqad kasta u tijaabinaysaa?

19 H ow long will Your glance not look away from me, nor You let me alone till I swallow my spittle?

Bal ilaa goormaadan iga sii jeesanayn, Oo aadan iska kay daynayn intaan candhuuftayda liqayo?

20 I f I have sinned, what have I done You, O You Watcher and Keeper of men? Why have You set me as a mark for You, so that I am a burden to myself ?

Oo haddii aan dembaabay bal maxaan kuu sameeyaa Kaaga dadka ilaaliyow? Bal maxaad iiga dhigatay calaamad, Si aan nafsaddayda culaab ugu noqdo?

21 A nd why do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and You will seek me diligently, I shall not be.

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.
