1 N aftaydu noloshadayday la daallan tahay, Oo joojinla'aan waan ku sii caban doonaa, Oo qadhaadhka naftayda waan ku hadli doonaa.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 W axaan Ilaah ku odhan doonaa, Ha i xukumine. Bal waxaad i tustaa waxa aad aawadood iila diriraysid.

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

3 B al miyey kuu wanaagsan tahay inaad cidhiidhisid Oo aad quudhsatid shuqulkii gacantaada, Oo haddana aad iftiimisid kuwa sharka ah taladooda?

Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

4 M a waxaad leedahay indho binu-aadmi, Mase sida dadkaad wax u aragtaa?

Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

5 W akhtigaagu ma sida wakhtiga dadkoo kalaa? Cimrigaaguse ma sida cimriga dadkoo kalaa?

Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,

6 O o bal ma sidaas daraaddeed baad xumaantayda u daba joogtaa, Oo aad dembigayga u baadhaysaa,

That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

7 I n kastoo aad ogtahay inaanan sharrow ahayn, Oo uusan jirin mid gacantaada iga samatabbixinaya?

Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

8 G acmahaaga ayaa i qabanqaabiyey oo i dhisay dhammaantay, Laakiin haddana intaad igu soo jeesato ayaad i duminaysaa.

Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9 B al xusuuso waan ku baryayaaye inaad ii dhoobtay sidii wax dhoobo laga sameeyey, Haddaba ma boodhkaad dib iigu celinaysaa?

Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

10 W ar sow sidii caano iima aadan daadin, Oo sidii gadhoodh oo kale sow iigama aadan dhigin?

Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

11 W axaad i huwisay harag iyo hilib, Oo waxaad dhammaantay igu dhistay lafo iyo seedo.

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

12 W axaad i siisay nolol iyo raallinimo, Oo booqashadaadiina waxay xannaanaysay ruuxayga.

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13 L aakiin waxyaalahaas qalbigaaga waad ku qarisay; Oo waan ogahay in taasu ay kugu jirto.

And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

14 H addaan dembaabo waad iska kay fiirsataa, Oo ma aad caddaysid inaan dembi la'ahay.

If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

15 H addaan sharrow ahay, anaa iska hoogay, Oo haddaan xaq ahayna, innaba madaxayga kor u qaadi maayo Anigoo ceeb ka buuxa Oo dhibaatadayda fiirinaya.

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

16 O o haddii madaxaygu kor isu qaadona, waxaad ii ugaadhsataa sida libaax oo kale, Oo haddana wax laga yaabo ayaad igu samaysaa.

For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

17 W axaad ii keensataa markhaatiyaal cusub, Oo dhirifkaagana waad igu sii kordhisaa, Oo hadba waxaad igu soo daysaa col iyo belaayo isu kay bedbeddela.

Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

18 B al maxaad iiga soo bixisay uurkii hooyaday? Waxaa wanaagsanaan lahayd in naftu iga baxdo iyadoo aan iluna i arag!

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

19 W axaa igu habboonaan lahayd inaan ahaado sidii wax aan jirin, Oo waxaa ii roonaan lahayd in qabriga la ii qaado isla markii aan uurka hooyaday ka soo baxay.

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

20 W ar cimriga noloshaydu sow wax yar ma aha? Haddaba iska kay daa Oo i dhaaf, aan in yar nastee,

Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

21 I ntaanan tegin meesha aanan ka soo noqonayn, Oo ah dalka gudcur iyo hooska dhimashada,

Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22 K aasoo ah gudcur qaro weyn oo ah sida mugdi dam ah, Dalkaas oo ah hooska dhimashada, oo aan innaba nidaam lahayn, Halkaas oo iftiinku yahay sida mugdi oo kale.

A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
