1 T hen Bildad the Shuhite answered,

Markaasaa Bildad oo ahaa reer Shuuxii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 “ How long will you say these things, And the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

Ilaa goormaad waxyaalahan ku hadlaysaa? Oo ilaa goormaa erayada afkaagu ahaanayaan sida dabayl xoog badan?

3 “ Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

War ma Ilaah baa garsooridda qalloociya? Mase Ilaaha Qaadirka ah baa caddaaladda qalloociya?

4 “ If your sons sinned against Him, Then He delivered them into the power of their transgression.

Haddii carruurtaadii ay isaga ku dembaabeen, Wuxuu iyagii u gacangeliyey xadgudubkoodii.

5 “ If you would seek God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,

Haddaad aad u barido Ilaah, Oo aad baryootankaaga hor dhigto Qaadirka,

6 I f you are pure and upright, Surely now He would rouse Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.

Haddaad daahir ahaan lahayd oo aad qummanaan lahayd, Sida xaqiiqada ah haatan wuu kuu toosi lahaa, Oo hoyga xaqnimadaadana wuu barwaaqayn lahaa.

7 “ Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.

Oo in kastoo bilowgaagii yaraa, Haddana ugudambaystaadu aad bay u weynaan lahayd.

8 “ Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers.

Waan ku baryayaaye bal qarniyadii hore wax weyddii, Oo bal soo garwaaqso waxyaalihii ay awowayaashood fatasheen,

9 “ For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.

(Waayo, innagu waxaynu nahay qoonkii shalayto oo qudha, oo waxba garan mayno, Maxaa yeelay, cimrigeenna aan dhulka joognaa waa sida hoos oo kale.)

10 “ Will they not teach you and tell you, And bring forth words from their minds?

War sow iyagu wax kuma bari doonaan, oo wax kuuma sheegi doonaan, Oo sow qalbigooda kaalama hadli doonaan?

11 “ Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes grow without water?

War miyaa cawdu ka bixi kartaa meel aan dhoobo lahayn? Cawsduurkuse miyuu bixi karaa biyola'aantood?

12 “ While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant.

Intuu weli cagaarka yahay oo aan la gooyn, Wuu ka hor engegaa dhalatada kale oo dhan.

13 “ So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish,

Kuwa Ilaah illooba oo dhan wadiiqooyinkoodu waa sidaas oo kale, Oo ninkii cibaadalaawe ah rajadiisuna way baabba'daa.

14 W hose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider’s web.

Oo kaas kalsoonaantiisu way kala jajabtaa, Oo aaminaaddiisuna waa sida xuubcaaro oo kale.

15 “ He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.

Wuxuu ku tiirsan doonaa gurigiisa, laakiinse gurigiisu ma taagnaan doono. Aad buu u xajin doonaa, laakiinse siima uu adkaan doono innaba.

16 “ He thrives before the sun, And his shoots spread out over his garden.

Isagu waa ku cagaar qorraxda, Oo laamihiisa curdanka ahuna waxay ka soo kor baxaan beertiisa.

17 “ His roots wrap around a rock pile, He grasps a house of stones.

Oo xididdadiisuna waxay isku duuduubaan taallo dhagaxyo ah, Oo wuxuu fiiriyaa meesha dhagaxyada.

18 “ If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ‘ I never saw you.’

Isaga haddii meeshiisa laga baabbi'iyo, Markaasay inkiri doontaa isaga, oo waxay odhan doontaa, Anigu kumaba arag.

19 “ Behold, this is the joy of His way; And out of the dust others will spring.

Farxadda jidkiisu waa sidaas, Oo waxaa dhulka ka soo bixi doona kuwa kaleto.

20 “ Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity, Nor will He support the evildoers.

Ilaah marnaba xoori maayo nin qumman, Kuwa sharka falase tiirin maayo.

21 “ He will yet fill your mouth with laughter And your lips with shouting.

Wuxuu afkaaga ka buuxin doonaa qosol, Bushimahaagana qaylo farxad leh,

22 “ Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will be no longer.”

Kuwa ku neceb waxay xidhan doonaan ceeb, Teendhada sharrowyaduna mar dambe siima jiri doonto.
