1 “ Man who is born of woman lives only a short time and is full of trouble.

Ninkii naagu dhashaba Cimrigiisu waa maalmo yar iyo dhibaato miidhan.

2 H e grows up and dries like a flower. He leaves like a shadow and does not stay.

Wuxuu u soo baxaa sida ubax oo kale, oo haddana waa la gooyaa, Oo wuxuu u cararaa sida hoos oo kale, oo innaba siima raago.

3 Y ou open Your eyes on him and decide about him.

Haddaba ma mid sidaas oo kalaad indhaha u kala qaadaysaa? Oo ma anigaad xukun ila soo gelaysaa?

4 W ho can make clean what is unclean? No one!

Bal yaa wax wasakh ah wax nadiif ah ka soo bixin kara? Xataa mid qudha oo saas yeeli karaa ma jiro.

5 A man’s days are numbered. You know the number of his months. He cannot live longer than the time You have set.

Maxaa yeelay, dadka cimrigiisu waa go'an yahay, oo inta bilood oo uu jirayo tiradoodana adigaa haya, Oo waxaad u dhigtay soohdin uusan dhaafi karin.

6 S o now look away from him that he may rest, until he has lived the time set for him like a man paid to work.

Bal ha nastee isaga ka sii jeeso, Ilaa uu cimrigiisa ka dhammaysanayo sida shaqaale maalintiisa u dhammaysto.

7 “ For there is hope for a tree, when it is cut down, that it will grow again, and that its branches will not stop growing.

Waayo, geed dheer haddii la gooyo rajuu leeyahay inuu mar kale soo biqlo, Iyo in laantiisa curdanka ahu ayan joogsan.

8 I ts roots grow old in the ground, and the base of the tree dies in the dry ground.

In kastoo xididkiisu uu ciidda ku dhex gaboobo, Oo ay jirriddiisiina dhulka dhexdiisa ku dhimato,

9 B ut with water it will grow. Branches will grow from it like a plant.

Biyaha urkooda ayuu ku biqli doonaa, Oo waxaa ka soo bixi doona laamo curdan ah oo dhalato la moodo.

10 B ut man dies and is laid low. Man dies, and where is he?

Laakiinse ninku wuu dhintaa, wuuna iska baabba'aa, Oo ninka naftu waa ka dhacdaa, oo bal xaggee buu joogaa isagu?

11 A s water goes into the air from the sea, and the river wastes away and dries up,

Biyuhu badda way ka dhammaadaan, Oo webiguna waa gudhaa oo waa iska engegaa,

12 s o man lies down and does not get up again. Until the heavens are no more, he will not wake up or come out of his sleep.

Sidaas oo kalaa dadku u jiifsada oo mana uu kaco, Oo jeeray samooyinku wada baabba'aan iyagu sooma toosi doonaan, Oo hurdadoodana kama kici doonaan.

13 “ If only You would hide me in the place of the dead! If only You would hide me until Your anger is past, and set a time for me and remember me!

Hahe bal maad She'ool igu qarisid, Oo bal maad meel qarsoon igu haysid ilaa cadhadaadu dhaafto, Oo bal maad wakhti go'an ii qabatid, oo aad i soo xusuusatid!

14 I f a man dies, will he live again? I will wait all the days of my trouble until a change comes.

Mar hadduu nin dhinto, miyuu soo noolaanayaa? Maalmaha dadaalkayga oo dhan waan iska sugi lahaa Ilaa uu isbeddelkaygu yimaado.

15 Y ou will call and I will answer You. You will wait for the work of Your hands.

Waad ii yeedhi lahayd, oo anna waan kuu jawaabi lahaa; Oo adna waxaa damac kaa geli lahaa shuqulkii gacmahaaga.

16 F or now You number my steps. You do not write down my sin.

Laakiinse haatan waad tirisaa tallaabooyinkayga, Balse miyaadan dembigayga isha ku hayn?

17 M y sin is locked up in a bag. You cover my wrong-doing.

Xadgudubkaygii kolay baa lagu xidhay, Oo xumaantaydiina meel baad ku dhuujisay.

18 “ But the mountain falls and breaks apart to nothing. The rock moves from its place.

Oo sida xaqiiqada ah buurtii dhacdaa waa baabba'daa, Oo dhagaxiina meeshiisii wuu ka dhaqaaqaa.

19 W ater wears away the stones. Its floods wash away the dust of the earth. So You destroy man’s hope.

Biyuhu dhagaxyaday lisaan, Oo daadkooduna wuxuu qaada ciidda dhulka, Oo adna sidaasoo kalaad u baabbi'isaa binu-aadmiga rajadiisa.

20 Y ou have power over him forever, and he leaves. You change what he looks like and send him away.

Weligaaba waad ka adkaataa isaga, oo isna wuu iska baxaa, Oo jaahiisa waad beddeshaa, oo waad iska dirtaa isaga.

21 H is sons receive honor, but he does not know it. Or they lose honor, but he does not see it.

Wiilashiisa waa la sharfaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama oga; Oo haddana hoos baa loo ridaa, laakiinse isagu waxba kama garto iyaga.

22 H is body gives him pain, and he has sorrow only for himself.”

Laakiinse xanuunka jidhkiisa oo keliya buu gartaa, Oo nafsaddiisa oo keliya ayuu u baroortaa.
