1 I laaha Qaadirka ahu muxuu wakhtiyo u kaydin waayaa? Kuwa isaga yaqaanse maxay maalmihiisa u arki waayaan?

¶ Why, seeing that times are not hidden from the Almighty, do those that know him not see his days?

2 W axaa jira kuwa soohdinta dalka durkiya, Oo waxay xoog ku dhacaan adhyo, kolkaasay daajiyaan.

Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks and feed thereof.

3 O o waxay iska kaxaystaan dameerka agoonta, Oo waxay rahaamad u qaataan naag carmal ah dibigeed.

They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

4 S aboolka baahan ayay jidka ka leexiyaan, Oo masaakiinta dhulkana dhammaantood way wada dhuuntaan.

They turn the needy out of the way; and all the poor of the earth hide themselves from them.

5 B al eeg, sida dameerdibadeedyo lamadegaanka jooga Ayay shuqulkooda ugu baxaan, iyagoo cunto aad u doonaya; Cidladuna carruurtooda cuntay u soo bixisaa.

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, rising early for a prey; the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.

6 C untadooda waxay ka goostaan berrinka, Oo waxay xaabxaabaan canabka kuwa sharrowyada ah.

In the field they reap their fodder, and the wicked gather the vintage that is not theirs.

7 O o habeenkii oo dhan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar lahayn ayay jiifsadaan, Oo dhaxanta waxay ka huwadaanna ma leh.

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

8 W axaa iyaga qoya roobka buuraha, Oo gabbaadla'aan daraaddeed ayay dhagaxa u dugsadaan.

They are wet with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a covering.

9 W axaa jira kuwa agoonta naaska ka dhufsada, Oo masaakiintana rahaamad ka qaata,

They pluck the fatherless from the breast and take a pledge of the poor.

10 S idaas daraaddeed waxay warwareegaan iyagoo qaawan oo aan dhar qabin, Oo iyagoo gaajaysan ayay xidhmooyinka sidaan.

They cause the naked to go without clothing, and they take away the sheaves from the hungry.

11 W axay saliid ku sameeyaan nimankaas derbiyadooda gudahooda, Macsarooyinkoodana way tuntaan, iyagoo harraadsan.

They press oil within their walls and tread their winepresses and suffer thirst.

12 D adku magaalooyinka way ka cabaadaan, Oo nafta kuwa dhaawacanuna way qaylisaa, Laakiinse Ilaah nacasnimadaa ma fiiriyo.

Men groan from out of the city, and the souls of the dead cry out; yet God did not hinder them.

13 K uwaasu waxay ka mid yihiin kuwa nuurka ku caasiyooba, Oo jidadkiisa ma ay yaqaaniin, Oo dhabbayaashiisana ma ay sii hayaan.

¶ They are among those that rebel against the light; they have never known its ways nor abided in its paths.

14 G acankudhiigluhu kaaha waaberi wuu la soo kacaa, oo wuxuu dilaa miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan, Oo habeenkiina isagu waa sida tuug oo kale.

The murderer rises with the light, kills the poor and the needy, and in the night is as a thief.

15 O o isha dhillayguna waxay sugtaa fiidka, Oo wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ninna ima arki doono, Oo wuu hagoogtaa.

The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and disguises his face.

16 O o goor gudcur ah ayay guryaha dhacaan, Oo maalinnimadana meel bay isku xidhaan, Oo iftiinka maba yaqaaniin.

In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime; they do not know the light.

17 W aayo, subaxnimadu dhammaantood waxay u tahay sida hooska dhimashada, Maxaa yeelay, waxay yaqaaniin cabsida hooska dhimashada.

For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if they are known, the terrors of the shadow of death come over them.

18 I sagu biyaha dushooda wuu ku dheereeyaa, Qaybtoodii dhulkaa lagu habaaray, Isagu uma leexdo xagga jidka beeraha canabka ah.

¶ They are swift upon the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; they never come by the way of the vineyards.

19 B iyaha barafka waxaa dhammaysta abaar iyo kulayl, Oo sidaasoo kalaa She'oolna u galaa kuwii dembaabay.

Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so does Sheol consume those who have sinned.

20 U urkii hooyadiis waa illoobi doonaa isaga; jidhkiisana waxaa cuni doona oo macaansan doona dirxiga, Oo mar dambena isaga lama xusuusan doono, Oo kii xaqdaranuna wuxuu u jabi doonaa sida geed oo kale.

The Merciful One shall forget them; the worm shall feed sweetly on them; they shall never be remembered again; and iniquity shall be broken as a tree.

21 I sagu wuxuu baabbi'iyaa madhashada aan carruurta dhalin; Oo carmalkana wax wanaagsan uma sameeyo.

He afflicted the barren woman that did not conceive and never did good unto the widow.

22 O o weliba kii xoog badanna itaalkiisuu ku jiidaa; Oo markuu kacana nafta waa laga rajo beelaa.

He furthered the violent with his power; he did not lend to anyone in his life.

23 I laahna wuxuu iyaga siiyaa meel ammaan ah, oo halkaasay isku halleeyaan, Jidadkoodana ishuu ku hayaa.

If he gave credit to some to take them over, his eyes were upon their ways.

24 I yaga waa la sarraysiiyaa, laakiin in yar dabadeed way wada baabba'aan; Hubaal iyaga waa la hoosaysiiyaa, oo jidka ayaa looga tuuraa sida kuwa kale oo dhan, Oo waxaa loo jaraa sida sabuul hadhuudh oo kale.

They were exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others and cut off as the tops of the heads of grain.

25 O o haddayan saas ahayn, yaa igu caddayn kara inaan beenlow ahay, Oo hadalkaygase yaa ka dhigi kara wax aan waxtar lahayn?

And if it is not so now, who will make me a liar or reduce my speech to nothing?
