1 “ Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?

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

2 L ike a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,

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

3 S o I have been allotted months of futility, And wearisome nights have been 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 ended?’ For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.

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 caked with worms and dust, My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.

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

6 “ My 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 a breath! My eye will never again see good.

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

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

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

9 A s the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.

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 never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore.

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

11 “ Therefore 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 a sea, or a sea serpent, That You set a guard over me?

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

13 W hen I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, My couch will 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 with visions,

Ayaad riyooyin igu bajisaa, Oo waxaad igu cabsiisaa muuqashooyin.

15 S o that my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.

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 but a breath.

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

17 “ What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,

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

18 T hat You should visit him every morning, And test him every moment?

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

19 H ow long? Will You not look away from me, And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?

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

20 H ave I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, 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 W hy then do You not pardon my transgression, And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, And You will seek me diligently, But I will no longer 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.
