1 ¶ Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered and said,

Markaasaa Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 S hould not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

War sow waajib ma aha in laga jawaabo erayada faraha badan? Balse ninka hadalka badan xaq ma laga dhigaa?

3 S hould thy lies make men be silent? Shalt thou mock, and shall no man make thee ashamed?

Amase faankaagu miyuu dadka aamusiin karaa? Oo markaad majaajilootid miyaan ninna ku kashifi karin?

4 F or thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean before thine eyes.

Waayo, waxaad leedahay, Cilmigaygu waa daahir, Oo nadiif baan ku ahay indhahaaga hortooda.

5 B ut oh, that God would speak and open his lips against thee

Bal muu Ilaah hadlo! Oo bal muu bushimihiisa furo isagoo kaa gees ah!

6 a nd that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For thou dost deserve double according to sound wisdom; and thou dost know that God has forgotten thee because of thine iniquity.

Oo bal muu ku tuso waxyaalaha qarsoon ee xigmadda ah, Waayo, way badan yihiin. Haddaba bal ogow in Ilaah kaa jisaynayo in ka sii yar ciqaabta dembigaagu istaahilo.

7 ¶ Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou come unto the perfection of the Almighty?

War miyaad baadhi kartaa Ilaah axwaalkiisa moolka dheer? Miyaadse Ilaaha Qaadirka ah si kaamil ah u garan kartaa?

8 I t is higher than the heavens; what canst thou do? It is deeper than Sheol; how canst thou know it?

Xigmaddiisu way u sarraysaa sida samada, ee bal maxaad samayn kartaa? Oo She'oolna way ka sii mool dheer tahay, ee maxaad garan kartaa?

9 T he measure of it is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

Qiyaasteeduna waa ka sii dheer tahay dhulka, waana ka sii ballaadhan tahay badda oo dhan.

10 I f he cuts off, or shuts up, or gathers together, then who can hinder him?

Oo isagu hadduu dhex gudbo, wax kastana xidho, Oo uu garsoorid isugu yeedho, bal yaa isaga hor joogsan kara?

11 F or he knows the vain men; and he sees the iniquity; will he not then understand it?

Waayo, wuu gartaa dadka waxmatarayaasha ah, Weliba xumaantana wuu arkaa, sow kama fikirin?

12 T he vain man shall make himself understood, though man is born like a wild ass’s colt.

Laakiinse ninkii waxmatare ahu waxgarasho waa ka madhan yahay, Hubaal dadku wuxuu u dhashaa sida qayl dameerdibadeed,

13 ¶ If thou would prepare thine heart and stretch out thine hands toward him;

Haddaad qalbigaaga hagaajisid, Oo aad isaga gacmaha u fidsatid,

14 i f there is any iniquity in thy hand and thou dost put it far away and dost not consent that wickedness dwell in thy habitations,

Haddii xumaanu gacantaada ku jirto iska fogee, Oo xaqdarrona yaanay teendhooyinkaaga degin.

15 t hen shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; thou shalt be strongly established and shalt not fear;

Hubaal markaasaad wejigaaga kor u qaadi doontaa isagoo aan ceeb lahayn; Oo waad adkaan doontaa, mana aad baqi doontid,

16 a nd thou shalt forget thy misery and remember it as waters that passed away;

Waayo, dhibaatadaada waad illoobi doontaa, Oo waxaad u xusuusan doontaa sidii biyo ku dhaafay,

17 a nd thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

Oo noloshaaduna way ka sii dhalaal dheeraan doontaa hadhkii, Oo in kastoo gudcur jiro, waxay ahaan doontaa sida subaxda.

18 A nd thou shalt trust because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig and sleep in safety;

Oo ammaan baad ahaan doontaa, maxaa yeelay, rajaa jirta, Hareerahaagaad fiirin doontaa, oo nabaadiinona waad ku nasan doontaa.

19 t hou shalt lie down, and no one shall make thee afraid; and many shall make requests unto thee.

Weliba waad jiifsan doontaa, oo waxba kuma cabsiin doonaan; Hubaal kuwa badan ayaa raallinimo kaa baryi doona.

20 B ut the eyes of the wicked shall consume themselves, and they shall have no refuge, and their hope shall be agony of the soul.

Laakiinse kuwa sharka ahu way indhabbeeli doonaan. Mana ay heli doonaan jid ay ku cararaan, Rajadooduna waxay ahaan doontaa nafta oo ka dhacda.
