1 H owbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.

Habase ahaatee, Ayuubow, waan ku baryayaaye, hadalkayga maqal, Oo erayadayda oo dhanna dhegta u dhig.

2 B ehold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,

Bal eeg haatan, afkaygaan furay, Oo carrabkaygu wuxuu ku dhex hadlay afkayga.

3 M y words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.

Erayadaydu waxay sheegi doonaan qummanaanta qalbigayga, Oo bushimahayguna wixii ay yaqaaniin si daacad ah ayay ugu hadli doonaan.

4 T he Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Waxaa i sameeyey Ruuxa Ilaah, Oo waxaa i noolaysa Ilaaha Qaadirka ah neeftiisa.

5 I f thou canst, answer me; array before me: take thy stand.

Haddaba haddaad kartid ii jawaab, Oo hortayda erayada si hagaagsan ugu sheeg oo istaag.

6 B ehold, before God I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.

Bal eeg, aniguba xag Ilaah waxaan ahay sidaada oo kale; Oo anigana waxaa layga uumay dhoobo.

7 B ehold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor my burden be heavy upon thee.

Bal eeg, nixintaydu kuma cabsiin doonto, Oo gacantayduna kuguma cuslaan doonto.

8 S urely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of words:—

Sida xaqiiqada ah dhegahaygaad ku hadashay, Waanan maqlay codkii erayadaada oo leh,

9 I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;

Anigu nadiif baan ahay, oo xadgudubna ma lihi, Xaq ma qabo, oo xumaanuna iguma jirto innaba.

10 L o, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;

Bal eeg, sabab uu igu eedeeyo ayuu iga helaa, Oo wuxuu igu tiriyaa inaan cadowgiisa ahay;

11 H e putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

Cagahayga wuxuu geliyaa jeebbooyin, Oo jidadkayga oo dhanna wuu wada fiiriyaa.

12 B ehold, I will answer thee in this, thou art not right; for +God is greater than man.

Bal eeg, waan kuu jawaabi doonaa, haddaba waxan xaq kuma tihid, Waayo, Ilaah baa binu-aadmiga ka sii weyn.

13 W hy dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

Haddaba maxaad isaga ula asaraartantaa? Waayo, isagu axwaalkiisa midnaba jawaab kama baxsho.

14 F or God speaketh once, and twice,— perceiveth it not—

Waayo, Ilaah wuxuu hadlaa mar, Ama laba jeer, in kastoo aan laga fiirsanayn.

15 I n a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Riyada iyo muujinta habeennimo, Markii hurdo weynu dadka ku soo degto, Oo sariirta lagu gam'o,

16 T hen he openeth men's ears, and sealeth their instruction,

Markaasuu dhegaha binu-aadmiga furaa, Oo waxa iyaga lagu waaniyey ayuu xaqiijiyaa,

17 T hat he may withdraw man work, and hide pride from man.

Si uu dadka uga soo celiyo qasdigooda xun, Oo uu binu-aadmiga kibir uga qariyo,

18 H e keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

Oo naftiisana wuxuu dib uga hayaa yamayska, Oo noloshiisana wuxuu ka hayaa seefta.

19 H e is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;

Oo weliba waxaa sariirtiisa lagu kor edbiyaa xanuun, Iyo dagaal joogto ah oo lafihiisa ku dhex jira.

20 A nd his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food;

Sidaas daraaddeed nafsaddiisu kibista way karahsataa, Naftiisuna cuntada macaan way nacdaa.

21 H is flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;

Hilibkiisu waa ka mudhuxsan yahay, oo mar dambe lama arki karo; Oo lafihiisii aan la arki jirinuna way soo baxaan.

22 A nd his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

Hubaal naftiisu waxay ku dhow dahay yamayska, Oo noloshiisuna waxay ku dhow dahay kuwii baabbi'in lahaa.

23 I f there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;

Hadday la joogi lahayd malaa'ig dhexdhexaadeye ah Oo ah mid kun ka mid ahu, Inay dadka tusto waxa ku qumman,

24 T hen he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

Markaas Ilaah baa u naxariista, oo wuxuu leeyahay, Yamayska uu ku sii dhacayo ka samatabbixi, Waayo, furasho baan helay.

25 H is flesh shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return to the days of his youth.

Hilibkiisu waa ka sii jilicsanaan doonaa kan ilmaha; Oo wuxuu ku noqdaa wakhtigii dhallinyaranimadiisa.

26 H e shall pray unto +God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.

Isagu Ilaah buu baryaa, oo isna raalli buu ka noqdaa, Sidaas daraaddeed wejigiisa farxad buu ku arkaa; Oo wuxuu dadka u soo celiyaa xaqnimadiisa.

27 H e will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me;

Isagu dadka hortiisa buu ku gabyaa, oo wuxuu leeyahay, Waan dembaabay, oo waxaan qalloociyey wixii qummanaa, Oo taasuna layguma abaalgudin.

28 H e hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.

Isagu naftayduu ka soo furtay yamayskii ay ku dhacaysay, Oo noloshayduna iftiin bay arki doontaa.

29 L o, all these worketh God twice, thrice, with man,

Bal eeg, waxyaalahan oo dhan Ilaah baa binu-aadmiga ku sameeya, Laba ama saddex jeer,

30 T o bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

Si uu naftiisa yamayska uga soo celiyo, In isaga lagu iftiimiyo iftiinka kuwa nool.

31 M ark well, Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.

Ayuubow, i maqal oo aniga i dhegayso: Adigu iska aamus, oo anna waan hadli doonaa.

32 I f thou hast anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.

Haddaad wax odhan lahayd, ii jawaab, Oo hadal, waayo, waxaan jeclahay inaan xaq kaa dhigo.

33 I f not, hearken thou unto me; be silent, and I will teach thee wisdom.

Haddii kalese, bal i dhegayso: Iska aamus, oo anna xigmad baan ku bari doonaa.
