Job 14
1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
“Mutum haihuwar mace kwanakinsa kaɗan ne, kuma cike da wahala.
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
Yana tasowa kamar fure yana kuma shuɗewa; kamar inuwa, ba ya daɗewa.
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
Za ka zura ido a kan irin wannan ne? Za ka kawo shi gaba don ka yi masa shari’a?
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
Wane ne zai iya kawo abin da yake da tsarki daga cikin abu marar tsarki? Babu!
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
An lissafta kwanakin mutum; ka riga ka ɗibar masa watanni, ka yi masa iyaka, ba zai iya wuce iyakar ba.
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
Saboda haka ka kawar da kanka daga gare shi, ka rabu da shi har sai ya cika lokacinsa kamar mutumin da aka ɗauki hayarsa.
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
“Aƙalla itace yana da bege. In an sare shi, zai sāke tsira, zai tohu da kyau.
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
Ko da jijiyoyin itacen sun tsufa a cikin ƙasa kuma kututturensa ya mutu a cikin ƙasa.
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
Daga ya ji ƙanshin ruwa zai tohu yă yi tsiro kamar shuka.
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
Amma mutum yana mutuwa a bizne shi; daga ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, shi ke nan.
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
Kamar yadda ruwa yake bushewa a teku ko a gaɓar rafi sai wurin yă bushe,
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
haka mutum zai kwanta ba zai tashi ba; har sai duniya ta shuɗe mutane ba za su farka ba, ba za su tashi daga barcinsu ba.
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
“Da ma za ka ɓoye ni a cikin kabari ka ɓoye ni har sai fushinka ya wuce! In da za ka keɓe mini lokaci sa’an nan ka tuna da ni! (Sheol h7585)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
In mutum ya mutu, ko zai sāke rayuwa? In haka ne zan daure kwanakin da nake shan wahala har su wuce.
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
Za ka kira zan kuwa amsa maka; za ka yi marmarin abin da hannunka ya halitta.
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
Ba shakka a lokacin ne za ka lura da matakaina amma ba za ka kula da zunubaina ba.
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
Za a daure laifofina a cikin jaka; za ka rufe zunubaina.
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
“Amma kamar yadda manyan duwatsu suke fāɗuwa su farfashe su kuma gusa daga wurarensu,
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
yadda ruwa yakan zaizaye duwatsu ruwa mai ƙarfi kuma yă kwashe turɓayar ƙasa, haka kake barin mutum ba bege.
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
Ka sha ƙarfinsa gaba ɗaya, sai ya ɓace, ka sauya yanayinsa ka kuma kore shi.
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
Ko an martaba’ya’yansa maza, ba zai sani ba; Ko an wulaƙanta su, ba zai gani ba.
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
Zafin jikinsa kaɗai yake ji yana kuka wa kansa ne kaɗai.”
