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

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

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

“Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.

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

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

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

Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

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

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

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

Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to 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 forever like his own dung. Those who 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. Yes, he shall be chased away like 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 which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more see him.

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

His children shall seek the favor of the poor. His hands shall give back his wealth.

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

His bones are full of his youth, but youth 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 is 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 will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

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

yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.

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

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

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

He shall suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue shall kill him.

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

He shall not look at the rivers, the flowing streams 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 for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.

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

For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

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

“Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.

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

There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

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

In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on 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 will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on 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. The bronze arrow 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.

He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on 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 is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

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

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity. 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. They shall rush 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, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
