Aliihu yidoor Ayyuub yidaafiʼ le nafsah
1 Wa hassaʼ da, asmaʼ gooli, ya Ayyuub
wa khutt adaanak le kulla kalaami.
2 Daahu ! Ana nufukk khachmi
wa lisaani yantug.
3 Kalaam galbi kulla adaala
wa lisaani yikallim be maʼrafa sahiihe.
4 Be ruuhah, al-Rabb khalagaani
wa nafas al-Gaadir hayyaani.
5 Ya Ayyuub ! Kan tagdar, rudd leyi !
Gumm ! Agiif giddaami
wa daafiʼ le nafsak !
6 Giddaam al-Rabb,
ana zaati mislak inta.
Hu khalagaani ana kula
min al-tiine bas.
7 Wa be misil da, ma waajib takhaaf minni
achaan ana ma nidammirak.
Al-Rabb ma yikallim be tariiga waahide
8 Laakin inta hajjeet giddaami,
aywa, ana simiʼtak wakit inta gult :
9 «Ana saafi, ma indi khata.
Ana nadiif, ma indi zanib.
10 Wa daahu al-Rabb gaaʼid yihaarijni
wa yajʼalni misil aduuh.
11 Hu dassa rijileeni fi guyuud
wa yiraakhibni fi kulla duruubi.»
12 Wa ana nuguul leek, ya Ayyuub,
inta ma indak hagg fi l-kalaam da
achaan al-Rabb kabiir min al-insaan.
13 Maala inta tachki min al-Rabb
wakit hu ma radda leek fi kalaamak ?
14 Laakin al-Rabb yikallim be tariiga waahide aw aakhara
wa l-insaan ma yaʼarfah.
15 Hu yihajji fi hilim wa fi l-ruʼya be l-leel
wakit al-insaan naayim noom chadiid fi furaachah.
16 Wa khalaas, al-Rabb yikallim
le l-naas fi udneehum
wa yihazzirhum
wa yikhawwifhum marra waahid.
17 Wa da le yibaʼʼidhum min amalhum al-cheen
wa yahfad al-insaan min al-istikbaar.
18 Wa da le yahfadah min al-moot
wa yadhar ruuhah ma tamrug be l-seef.
19 Al-Rabb yihazzir al-insaan be taʼab fi furaachah
wakit udaamah yarjufu min al-wajaʼ.
20 Khalaas, hu yaaba al-akil.
Hatta al-akil al-halu kula, yikhalliih.
21 Wa laham jildah yikammil tak,
yifaddil illa l-udaam.
22 Ruuhah tigarrib le l-khabur
wa hayaatah le l-moot.
Al-malak al-wasiit
23 Wa laakin kan yalga leyah malak wasiit,
waahid min been al-alif
al-yikhabbir al-insaan be l-tariig al-adiil,
24 khalaas, al-Rabb yihinn foogah
wa yuguul :
«Najjiih ! Achaan ma yanzil fi l-khabur,
ana ligiit al-fidya al-ninajjiih beeha.»
25 Wa be da, jismah yalga gudrat chabaabah
wa yigabbil le ayyaam subaayah.
26 Hu yachhad al-Rabb
wa l-Rabb yarda beyah
wa yichiif wijh al-Rabb be farah.
Wa l-Rabb yajʼal al-insaan da
saalih giddaamah battaan.
27 Hu yikhanni giddaam al-naas
wa yuguul :
«Ana aznabt wa awwajt al-adaala
wa laakin al-Rabb ma jaazaani misil waajib leyi.
28 Wa najja ruuhi min al-khabur
wa nichiif nuur al-haya battaan.»
29 Wa daahu kulla cheyy al-sawwaah al-Rabb
marrateen wa talaata maʼa l-insaan
30 le yigabbil ruuhah min al-moot
wa yinawwirah be nuur al-hayyiin.
31 Khutt baalak, ya Ayyuub, wa asmaʼni !
Askut wa ana bas nikallim.
32 Kan indak kalaam, rudd leyi !
Kallim achaan nidoor nibarriik.
33 Wa kan ma fi, askut wa asmaʼni
wa ana niʼallimak al-hikma.
