Ayuub 21
1 Markaasaa Ayuub u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Job replied,
2 Maqla oo warkayga aad u dhegaysta, Oo tanuna ha noqoto wixii aad igu qalbiqabowjisaan.
“Please listen carefully to what I say—that would be one comfort you could give me.
3 Bal mar ii oggolaada aan hadlee, Oo kolkii aan hadlo dabadeed iska sii majaajilooda.
Bear with me; let me speak. After I've spoken you can resume mocking me.
4 Balse anigu ma dad baan ka ashtakoonayaa? Maxaan u ahaan waayay mid aan dulqaadan?
Am I complaining against people? Of course not. Why shouldn't I be impatient?
5 Bal i eega, oo yaaba, Oo afkiinna gacanta saara.
Just take a look at me. Aren't you appalled? Cover your mouth with your hand in shock!
6 Oo xataa markaan soo xusuusto waan welwelaa, Oo jidhkaygana waa hoog iyo ba'.
Every time I think of what's happened to me I am horrified and I shake all over with fear.
7 Bal maxay kuwa sharka ahu u noolaanayaan? Oo ay u gaboobayaan? Balse maxay xoog badan u yeeshaan?
Why do the wicked continue to live, to grow old and increasingly powerful?
8 Farcankoodu iyagoo la jooga hortooduu ku xoogaystaa, Oo dhashoodiina hortooday ku dhisan yihiin.
Their children are with them; they watch their grandchildren grow up.
9 Reerahoodu cabsi way ka ammaan galeen, Oo ushii Ilaahna iyaga ma kor saarna.
They live in their homes in safety—they are not afraid. God does not use his rod to beat them.
10 Dibidoodu way dhalaan, oo marnaba madhalays ma noqdaan, Sacyahooduna way dhalaan, dhicis mana keenaan.
Their bulls always breed successfully; their cows give birth to calves and do not miscarry.
11 Dhallaankooda dibadday u baxshaan sidii adhi oo kale, Oo carruurtooduna way cayaaraan.
They send out their little ones like lambs to play; their children dance around.
12 Waxay ku gabyaan daf iyo kataarad, Oo dhawaaqa biibiilaha way ku reyreeyaan.
They sing accompanied by the tambourine and lyre; they celebrate with the music of the flute.
13 Cimrigooda waxay ku dhammaystaan barwaaqo, Oo dabadeedna daqiiqad ayay She'ool ku dhaadhacaan. (Sheol h7585)
They live out their lives contentedly, and go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
14 Laakiin waxay Ilaah ku yidhaahdeen, War naga tag, Waayo, dooni mayno aqoonta jidadkaaga.
Yet they tell God, ‘Get lost! We don't want anything to do with you.
15 Waa maxay Ilaaha Qaadirka ah, oo aan u adeegayno? Balse maxaa faa'iido ah oo aannu ka helaynaa, haddaan isaga u tukanno?
Who does the Almighty think he is for us to serve him as slaves? What benefit is there for us if we pray to him?’
16 Bal eeg, barwaaqadoodii gacantooda kuma jirto, Kuwa sharka ahna taladoodu way iga fog tahay.
Such people believe they make their own fortune, but I don't accept their way of thinking.
17 Immisa jeer baa laambadda kuwa sharka ah la demiyaa? Oo immisa jeer baa belaayo ku kor degtaa? Oo immisa jeer baa Ilaah isagoo cadhaysan xanuun u qaybiyaa?
How often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does disaster come upon them? How often does God punish the wicked in his anger?
18 Oo ay sababtaas aawadeed u noqdaan sidii xaab dabayl ka horreeya, Iyo sidii buunshe uu duufaanu kaxeeyo?
Are they blown along like straw in the wind? Does a tornado come in and carry them away?
19 Idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Ilaah xumaantiisii wuxuu u kaydiyaa sharrowga carruurtiisa. Haddaba isagu sharrowga ha ugu abaalgudo si uu laftigiisu u ogaado aawadeed.
Some say, ‘God saves up people's punishment for their children.’ But I say, ‘God should punish those people themselves so that they can learn from it.’
20 Indhihiisu ha arkeen halligaaddiisa, Oo isagu ha cabbo Ilaaha Qaadirka ah cadhadiisa.
Let them see their destruction themselves, and drink deeply from God's anger.
21 Waayo, waa maxay farxadda uu reerkiisa ka helo, Markii cimrigiisa dhexda laga gooyo?
For they don't care what happens to their families once they're dead.
22 Bal ma Ilaah baa wax la baraa? Maxaa yeelay, isagaa xukuma xataa kuwa sare.
Can anyone teach God anything he doesn't already know, since he is the one who judges even heavenly beings?
23 Mid baa dhinta isagoo xooggiisu ku dhan yahay, Oo istareexsan oo xasilloon,
One person dies in good health, totally comfortable and secure.
24 Oo aad u buuran, Oo dhuuxa lafihiisuna qoyan yahay.
Their body is fat from eating well; their bones still strong.
25 Oo mid kalena wuxuu ku dhintaa naf qadhaadh, Isagoo aan weligiis wanaag dhedhemin.
Another dies after a miserable life without every experiencing happiness.
26 Habase yeeshee isku si bay ciidda u dhex jiifsadaan, Oo dirxi baa korkooda daboola.
Yet they are both buried in the same dust; they are treated alike in death, eaten by maggots.
27 Bal eega, anigu waan ogahay fikirradiinna, Iyo xeesha aad qaldan igu hindisaysaan.
Look, I know what you're thinking, and your schemes to do me wrong.
28 Waayo, waxaad tidhaahdaan, War meeh gurigii amiirku? Oo meeday teendhadii sharrowgu ku dhex hoyan jiray?
You may ask me, ‘Where is the home of the great man? Where is the place where the wicked live?’
29 Miyeydaan weyddiin kuwa jidka mara? Oo miyeydaan garanayn calaamooyinkooda?
Haven't you asked people who travel? Don't you pay attention to what they tell you?
30 Iyo in ninkii sharrow ah loo celiyey maalinta belaayada? Iyo in hore loogu sii kaxaynayo maalinta cadhada?
Wicked people are spared in times of disaster; they are rescued from the day of judgment.
31 Bal yaa jidkiisa isaga hortiisa ugu caddayn doona? Oo bal yaa isaga ka abaalmarin doona wixii uu sameeyey?
Who confronts them with their actions? Who pays them back for what they have done?
32 Laakiinse isaga waxaa loo qaadi doonaa xabaasha, Oo qabrigiisa waa la ilaalin doonaa.
When they eventually die and are carried to the graveyard, their tomb is guarded. The earth of the grave softly covers them.
33 Waxaa isaga u macaanaan doonta ciidda dooxada, Oo dadka oo dhammuna isagay soo daba kici doonaan, Sida kuwii aan tirada lahayn oo isagii ka horreeyeyba ay u dhinteen.
Everyone attends their funeral service; a huge procession of people comes to pay their last respects.
34 Haddaba bal maxaad si aan waxba tarayn iigu qalbiqabowjinaysaan, Maxaa yeelay, jawaabihiinnii been oo keliya ayaa ku hadhay?
Why do you try to comfort me with worthless nonsense? Your answers are just a pack of lies!”
