Ayuub 12
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 Shakila'aan waxaad tihiin dadkii, Oo xigmad baa idinla dhiman doonta.
Of a truth, ye, are the people, and, with you, wisdom, will die.
3 Laakiinse aniguba waxgarasho baan leeyahay sidiinna oo kale, Oo weliba idinkama aan liito. Bal waxyaalahan oo kale kan aan garanaynu waa ayo?
I also, have a mind like you, I, fall not short, of you, But who hath not such things as these?
4 Waxaan la mid ahay sida mid saaxiibkiisu ku maadaysto, Anoo Ilaah baryay oo isna uu ii jawaabay, Ninkii xaq ah oo qumman waa lagu maadaystaa.
A laughing-stock to one’s neighbour, do I become, one who hath called upon GOD and he hath answered him! A laughing-stock—a righteous man without blame!
5 Kii istareexsan fikirkiisu waa yaraystaa nasiibdarrada, Laakiinse diyaar bay u tahay kuwa cagtoodu simbiriirixato.
For ruin, there is contempt, in the thought of the man at ease, —ready, for such as are of faltering foot!
6 Kuwa wax dhaca teendhooyinkoodu way barwaaqoobaan, Oo kuwa Ilaah ka cadhaysiiyaana ammaan bay ku joogaan, Oo Ilaahna gacmahooduu wax kasta uga buuxshaa.
At peace are the tents that belong to the spoilers, and there is security to them who provoke GOD, To him who bringeth a god in his hand.
7 Laakiinse haatan bal xayawaanka wax weyddii, oo iyana wax bay ku bari doonaan, Iyo haadka hawada, oo iyana wax bay kuu sheegi doonaan,
But, in very deed, ask, I pray thee, the beasts, and they will teach thee, and the bird of the heavens, and it will tell thee;
8 Amase bal dhulka la hadal, oo isna wax buu ku bari doonaa, Oo kalluunka badduna wax buu kuu sheegi doonaa.
Or address the earth, and it will teach thee, and the fishes of the sea, will recount it to thee:
9 Bal yuu yahay kan aan waxyaalahan oo dhan ka garanayn Inay gacanta Rabbigu waxan samaysay?
Who knoweth not, among all these, that, the hand of Yahweh, hath done this?
10 Kaasoo gacantiisa ku haya nafta wax kasta oo nool Iyo neefta binu-aadmiga oo dhan.
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the flesh of men.
11 War sow dhegtu erayada ma kala soocdo, Sida dhanxanagguba cuntadiisa u dhadhamiyo?
Doth not, the ear, try, words? even as, the palate, tasteth for itself, food?
12 Odayaashu waxay leeyihiin xigmad, Oo cimriga dheerna waxaa laga helaa waxgarasho.
In the Ancient, is wisdom, and [in] Length of Days, understanding:
13 Isagu wuxuu leeyahay xigmad iyo xoog, Oo wuxuu leeyahay talo iyo waxgarasho.
With Him, are wisdom and strength, to Him, pertain counsel and understanding.
14 Bal eeg, isagu wax buu dumiyaa, Oo wuxuu dumiyana mar dambe lama dhisi karo, Nin buu xidhaa oo wax furi kara lama arko.
Lo! He pulleth down, and it cannot be built, He closeth up over a man, and it cannot be opened:
15 Biyuhuu celiyaa, oo way iska gudhaan, Oo haddana wuu soo daayaa, markaasay dhulka qarqiyaan.
Lo! He holdeth back the waters, and they dry up, or sendeth them out, and they transform the earth:
16 Xoog iyo xigmaduba isagay la jiraan, Oo kan la khiyaaneeyey iyo kan wax khiyaaneeyaba isagaa iska leh.
With Him, is strength and effective wisdom, to Him, belong he that erreth, and he that causeth to err.
17 Taliyayaasha wuxuu u kaxaystaa sida booli la dhacay, Xaakinnadana nacasyo buu ka dhigaa.
Who leadeth away counsellors [as] a spoil, and, judges, He befooleth:
18 Wuxuu furaa boqorrada xidhan, Oo dhex-xidh buuna u xidhaa.
The fetters of kings, He looseth, or hath bound a slave’s waistcloth about their loins:
19 Wadaaddadana sida booli la dhacay buu u kaxaystaa, Oo kuwa xoogga badanna wuu afgembiyaa.
Who leadeth away priests [as] a spoil, and, men firmly seated, He overturneth:
20 Kuwa la aaminayna wuu hadal beeliyaa, Oo odayaashana waxgarashaduu ka qaadaa.
Setting aside the speech of the trusty, and, the discernment of elders, He taketh away:
21 Amiirrada wuxuu ku shubaa quudhsasho, Kuwa xoogga badanna suunkooduu debciyaa.
Pouring contempt upon nobles, and, the girdle of the mighty, hath He loosed:
22 Wuxuu gudcurka ka soo saaraa waxyaalo mool dheer, Oo hooska dhimashadana iftiinkuu u soo bixiyaa.
Laying open deep things, out of darkness, and bringing out to light, the death-shade:
23 Quruumaha wuu badiyaa, oo haddana wuu wada baabbi'iyaa, Oo quruumaha wuu ballaadhiyaa, oo haddana wuu kexeeyaa,
Who giveth greatness to nations, or destroyeth them, Who spreadeth out nations, or leadeth them into exile:
24 Wuxuu caqliga ka qaadaa madaxda dadyowga dhulka, Oo wuxuu iyaga ku warwareejiyaa meel cidla ah oo aan jid lahayn.
Who taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and hath caused them to wander in a pathless waste:
25 Waxay wax ka haabhaabtaan gudcurka iyagoo aan iftiin lahayn, Oo wuxuu iyaga ka dhigaa inay u dhacdhacaan sida nin sakhraan ah.
They grope about in the dark, having no light, and He hath made them to reel, like a drunken man.
