1 M arkaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then Job answered and said,

2 S ida runta ah waan ogahay inay sidaas tahay, Laakiinse sidee baa nin xaq ugu noqon karaa Ilaah hortiisa?

Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?

3 O o hadduu doonayo inuu la doodo isaga, Kunkii erayba mid qudha ugama jawaabi karo.

If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.

4 Q albigiisu waa xigmad miidhan, oo xooggiisuna waa badan yahay; Bal yaa intuu isaga ka qalafsanaaday barwaaqoobay?

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-

5 I sagu wuxuu rujiyaa buuraha, oo iyana ma ay yaqaaniin, Markuu cadhadiisa ku afgembiyo.

Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;

6 D hulka wuu ka ruxruxaa meeshiisa, Oo tiirarkiisuna way wada gariiraan.

That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;

7 W uxuu amraa qorraxda, oo iyana sooma ay baxdo, Xiddigahana wuu xidhaa.

That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;

8 I sagoo keliya ayaa samooyinka kala bixiya, Oo wuxuu ku dul socdaa hirarka badda.

That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;

9 O o wuxuu sameeyey ururrada xiddigaha oo la yidhaahdo Orsada iyo Oriyon iyo Toddobaadyada, Iyo xiddigaha koonfureed.

That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

10 W uxuu sameeyaa waxyaalo waaweyn oo aan la baadhi karin, Oo ah waxyaalo yaab badan oo aan la tirin karin.

That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.

11 W uu i ag maraa, aniguse uma jeedo isaga, Oo wuu iga gudbaa, aniguse waxba kama ogi.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

12 B al wax buu qabsadaa ee, yaa ka hor joogsan kara? Oo bal yaa ku odhan doona, War maxaad samaynaysaa?

Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?

13 I laah cadhadiisa ka soo celin maayo; Oo kalmeeyayaasha kibirka lahuna isagay hoos foororaan.

God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.

14 H addaba bal anigu sidee baan ugu jawaabi karaa, Oo aan erayadayda kala doortaa si aan isaga kula hadlo?

How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?

15 I n kastoo aan xaq ahaan lahaa, weliba uma aanan jawaabeen isaga, Illowse waxaan iska baryi lahaa Kan i xukumaya.

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

16 H addaan baryi lahaa oo uu ii jawaabi lahaa, Ma aanan rumaysteen xataa inuu codkayga maqlay.

If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

17 W aayo, isagu wuxuu igu jejebiyaa duufaan, Oo nabrahaygana sababla'aan buu u sii kordhiyaa.

For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18 I sagu iima oggola inaan neefsado, Laakiinse qadhaadh buu iga buuxiyaa.

He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.

19 B al haddaan xagga xoogga ka hadalno isagu waa itaal miidhan, Balse xagga xukunka yaa wakhti ii sheegaya?

If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?

20 I n kastoo aan xaq ahay, afkayga ayaa i xukumi doona, In kastoo aan qummanahay, waxaa igu caddaan doonta qalloocnaan.

Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.

21 A nigu waan qummanahay, oo nafsaddayda kama fikiro, Noloshaydana waan quudhsadaa.

I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.

22 K ulli waa isku mid, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan idhaahdaa, Isagu wuu wada baabbi'iyaa kan qumman iyo kan sharka ahba.

It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

23 H addii belaayadu haddiiba wax disho, Wuu ku majaajiloon doonaa jirrabaadda kuwa aan xaqa qabin.

If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.

24 D hulka waxaa gacanta loo geliyey kan sharka ah; Oo isna wuxuu indhasaabaa xaakinnadii dhulka. Bal hadduusan isaga ahayn, haddaba waa ayo?

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If it be not he, who then is it?

25 H addaba cimrigaygu waa ka sii dheereeyaa nin orda, Wuu iga cararaa, oo wanaagna ma arko.

Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

26 W uxuu ii dhaafay sida doonniyaha dheereeya, Iyo sida gorgor raq ku soo deganaya.

They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.

27 H addaan odhan lahaa, Cabatinkayga waan illoobi doonaa, Oo tiiraanyada jaaha iga saaran waan iska tuuri doonaa, oo waan faraxsanaan doonaa,

If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;

28 W axaan ka baqayaa caloolxumadayda oo dhan, Waayo, waan ogahay inaadan ii haysanayn sidii mid aan xaq qabin.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

29 K olleyba waa lay xukumayaaye, Bal maxaan waxtarla'aan u hawshoodaa?

I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?

30 H addaan biyo baraf ah ku maydho, Oo aan gacmahayga aad iyo aad u nadiifiyo,

If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;

31 A digu waxaad igu dhex tuuri doontaa bohol, Oo xataa dharkaygu waa i nici doonaa.

Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.

32 W aayo, isagu nin ma aha, sidaydoo kale, si aan isaga ugu jawaabo, Oo aannu labadayaduba xukun u wada galno.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

33 M a jiro nin noo dhexeeya, Oo labadayadaba gacantiisa na saari kara.

There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.

34 I sagu ushiisa ha iga fogeeyo, Oo cabsidiisuna yaanay i bajin.

Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:

35 M arkaas waan hadli lahaa, oo isaga kama aanan baqeen; Waayo, anigu sidaas ma ahi.

Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
