Eliifas

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

Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa?
Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay,
Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay,
Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa,
Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato,
Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin?
Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa,
Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa,
Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
10 Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii,
Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
11 Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa,
Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
12 Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay,
Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
13 Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan,
Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
14 Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay,
Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
15 Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray,
Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
16 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 War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa?
Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
18 Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo;
Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
19 Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan,
Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro,
Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
20 Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan;
Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
21 Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo?
Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.

Eliphaz

Then Eliphaz the Temanite(A) replied:

“If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
    But who can keep from speaking?(B)
Think how you have instructed many,(C)
    how you have strengthened feeble hands.(D)
Your words have supported those who stumbled;(E)
    you have strengthened faltering knees.(F)
But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;(G)
    it strikes(H) you, and you are dismayed.(I)
Should not your piety be your confidence(J)
    and your blameless(K) ways your hope?

“Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished?(L)
    Where were the upright ever destroyed?(M)
As I have observed,(N) those who plow evil(O)
    and those who sow trouble reap it.(P)
At the breath of God(Q) they perish;
    at the blast of his anger they are no more.(R)
10 The lions may roar(S) and growl,
    yet the teeth of the great lions(T) are broken.(U)
11 The lion perishes for lack of prey,(V)
    and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(W)

12 “A word(X) was secretly brought to me,
    my ears caught a whisper(Y) of it.(Z)
13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night,
    when deep sleep falls on people,(AA)
14 fear and trembling(AB) seized me
    and made all my bones shake.(AC)
15 A spirit glided past my face,
    and the hair on my body stood on end.(AD)
16 It stopped,
    but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
    and I heard a hushed voice:(AE)
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(AF)
    Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(AG)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(AH)
    if he charges his angels with error,(AI)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(AJ)
    whose foundations(AK) are in the dust,(AL)
    who are crushed(AM) more readily than a moth!(AN)
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;
    unnoticed, they perish forever.(AO)
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,(AP)
    so that they die(AQ) without wisdom?’(AR)

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.

12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
