1 A nd Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 H ath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?

Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa? Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?

3 L o, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.

Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay, Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.

4 T he stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.

Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay, Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.

5 B ut now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa, Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.

6 I s not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?

War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato, Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?

7 R emember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?

Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin? Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?

8 A s I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!

Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa, Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.

9 F rom the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.

Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa, Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.

10 T he roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.

Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii, Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.

11 A n old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.

Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa, Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.

12 A nd unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.

Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay, Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.

13 I n thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,

Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan, Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,

14 F ear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.

Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay, Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.

15 A nd a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;

Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray, Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.

16 I t standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:

Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay; Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay; Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,

17 ` Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?

War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa? Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?

18 L o, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'

Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo; Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.

19 A lso -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)

Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan, Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro, Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!

20 F rom morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.

Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan; Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.

21 H ath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!

Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo? Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.
