1 M arkaasaa Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu yidhi,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2 H addaba waxaa ii jawaaba fikirradayda, Oo sababtu waxay tahay degdegga igu jira.

Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

3 W axaan maqlay canaanta i ceebaysa, Oo waxaa ii jawaabta waxgarashadayda.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

4 M iyaadan ogayn in waayihii hore iyo Tan iyo waagii binu-aadmiga dhulka la saaray

Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

5 A y guulaysashada sharrowyadu gaaban tahay, Oo farxadda cibaadalaawayaashuna ay daqiiqad qudha tahay?

that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

6 I n kastoo sarrayntiisu ay samada korto, Oo madaxiisuna uu daruuraha gaadho,

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

7 W uxuu weligiis u baabbi'i doonaa sida saxaradiisa oo kale. Oo kuwii isaga arki jiray waxay odhan doonaan, War meeh isagii?

yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

8 S ida riyo ayuu u libdhi doonaa, oo lama heli doono, Hubaal waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida riyada habeenka.

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

9 I shii isaga aragtay mar dambe ma ay arki doonto, Oo meeshiisiina mar dambe uma ay jeedi doonto.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

10 C arruurtiisu waxay wax ka baryi doonaan masaakiinta, Oo gacmahooduna dib bay u celin doonaan maalkiisa.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

11 L afihiisana waxaa ka buuxa xoogga dhallinyaranimada, Laakiinse ciidda dhexdeeduu la jiifsan doonaa.

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

12 I n kastoo xumaantu afkiisa la macaan tahay, In kastoo uu carrabkiisa ku hoos qarsado,

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

13 I n kastoo uu kaydsado, oo uusan iska sii dayn, Laakiinse uu afkiisa ku sii haysto,

though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

14 K olleyba cuntadiisu mindhicirkiisay ku beddelantaa, Oo waxay uurkiisa ku noqataa waabayo jilbis.

yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

15 I sagu maal buu liqay, laakiinse mar kaluu soo mantagi doonaa, Oo Ilaah baa calooshiisa ka soo saari doona.

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

16 W uxuu nuugi doonaa mariidka jilbisyada, Oo waxaa isaga dili doona mas carrabkiis.

He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17 O o ma uu fiirin doono webiyada, Iyo durdurrada la barwaaqaysan malabka iyo subagga.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

18 W ixii uu ku hawshooday wuu soo celin doonaa, oo ma uu liqi doono, Oo maalka uu faa'iidada u helayna siduu yahay uguma uu farxi doono.

That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

19 W aayo, wuxuu dulmay oo dayriyey masaakiinta, Oo wuxuu xoog ku qaatay guri uusan dhisin.

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

20 U urkiisu xasilloonaan ma lahayn, Taas daraaddeed waxa uu jecel yahay oo dhan waxba kama uu badbaadin doono.

surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

21 W uxuu liqay wax ka hadhay lama arkin, Sidaas daraaddeed barwaaqadiisu siima raagi doonto.

There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

22 M arkuu dheregsan yahay ayuu cidhiidhi dhex geli doonaa, Oo mid kasta oo belaayaysan gacantiisa ayaa ku soo degi doonta.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

23 M arkuu ku dhow yahay inuu calooshiisa buuxsado, Ayaa Ilaah wuxuu ku soo tuuri doonaa kulaylka cadhadiis, Oo wuu ku soo shubi doonaa intuu wax cunayo.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24 W uu ka carari doonaa hubka birta ah, Oo qaansada naxaasta ahu fallaadh bay ka dhex dusin doontaa.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

25 W uu soo jiidaa, kolkaasay jidhkiisa ka soo baxdaa, Hubaal caaradda dhalaalaysa ayaa beerkiisa ka soo baxda, Oo cabsi baa isaga ku dhacda.

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

26 G udcurka oo dhanna waxaa meel loogu kaydiyey khasnadihiisa; Oo dab aan la afuufin ayaa isaga dhammayn doona, Wuuna baabbi'in doonaa waxa teendhadiisa ku dhex hadhay.

All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

27 S amooyinku waxay daaha ka qaadi doonaan xumaantiisa, Oo dhulkuna isaguu ku kici doonaa.

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

28 H odanka reerkiisu wuu ka dhammaan doonaa, Oo maalinta cadhada Ilaah ayaa maalkiisu libdhi doonaa.

The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

29 I ntaasu waxaa weeye qaybta ninkii shar ahu uu xagga Ilaah ka helayo, Iyo wixii Ilaah dhaxal ahaan ugu amray.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
