[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.
[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.
[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.
