Ayuub 17
1 Ruuxaygii waa tabardarnaaday, cimrigaygiina waa dhammaaday, Oo qabrigu waa ii diyaar.
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me.
2 Sida xaqiiqada ah waxaa ila jooga majaajilowyo, Oo ishayduna waxay fiiro u leedahay ka cadhaysiintooda.
[Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3 Haddaba rahaamad i sii, oo dammiin ii noqo; Bal yaa jooga oo gacanta dhaar iigu dhiibaya?
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me?
4 Waayo, qalbigooda waxgarashadii waad ka qarisay, Oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga ma aad sarraysiin doontid.
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
5 Kii saaxiibbadiis u yeedha inay maal ka qaybgeliyaan, Carruurtiisu way indha beeli doonaan.
He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 Oo weliba isagu wuxuu iga dhigay wax ay dadku ku halqabsadaan, Oo waxaan noqday mid ay dadku candhuuf ku tufaan.
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Indhahaygii murug bay la arag daranyihiin, Oo xubnahaygii oo dhammuna waxay noqdeen sidii hoos oo kale.
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shadow.
8 Dadkii toolmoonu waxan way la yaabayaan, Oo kan aan xaqa qabinuna wuxuu ku kacayaa cibaadalaawaha.
Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 Laakiinse kii xaq ahu jidkiisa wuu ku sii adkaysan doonaa, Oo kii gacmo nadiifsan lahuna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaysan doonaa.
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 Laakiinse idinku dhammaantiin bal soo noqda oo ii kaalaya, Oo anna nin xigmad leh idinkama heli doono.
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you.
11 Cimrigaygii waa dhammaaday, Oo qasdigaygii iyo fikirradii qalbigayguba waa baabbe'een.
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the thoughts of my heart.
12 Habeenka waxay u beddelaan maalin, Oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Iftiinku waa u dhow yahay gudcurka.
They change the night into day: the light [is] short because of darkness.
13 Haddaan She'ool u rajeeyo sida gurigaygii oo kale, Ama haddaan gogoshayda gudcurka ku dhex fidsado, (Sheol h7585)
If I wait, the grave [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. (Sheol h7585)
14 Oo haddaan qudhunka ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay aabbahay, Oo aan dirxigana ku idhaahdo, Adigu waxaad tahay hooyaday iyo walaashay,
I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father: to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister.
15 Bal markaas meeday rajadaydu? Oo bal yaase rajadayda arki doona?
And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
