Job 16
1 Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
Sai Ayuba ya amsa,
2 “I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
“Na ji abubuwa da yawa kamar waɗannan; dukanku ba ku iya ta’aziyya ba!
3 Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
Dogayen surutanku ba sa ƙare ne? Me yake sa kuke ta yin waɗannan surutai har kuke cin gaba da yin gardama?
4 If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
Ni ma zan iya yin maganganu kamar yadda kuke yi in da kuna cikin halin da nake; zan iya faɗar duk abubuwan da kuke faɗi, in kaɗa muku kaina.
5 But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
Amma bakina zai ƙarfafa ku; ta’aziyyar da za tă fito daga bakina za tă kawar muku da ɓacin zuciyarku.
6 “But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
“Duk da haka in na yi magana, ba na samun sauƙi; in ma na yi shiru zafin ba ya tafiya.
7 God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
Ba shakka ya Allah ka gajiyar da ni; ka ɓata gidana gaba ɗaya.
8 He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
Ka daure ni, ya kuma zama shaida; yadda na rame sai ƙasusuwa, wannan ya sa ake gani kamar don ni mai zunubi ne shi ya sa.
9 Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
Allah ya kai mini hari ya yi kaca-kaca da ni cikin fushinsa yana cizon haƙoransa don fushin da yake yi da ni; ya zura mini ido.
10 People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
Mutane suka buɗe baki suka yi mini riyar reni; suka yi mini ba’a suka haɗu suka tayar mini.
11 [It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
Allah ya bashe ni ga mugayen mutane, ya jefa ni hannun mugaye.
12 Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
Dā ina zamana lafiya kome yana tafiya daidai; amma ya ragargaza ni; ya shaƙe ni a wuya; ya murƙushe ni na zama abin barata gare shi;
13 people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
maharbansa sun kewaye ni. Ba tausayi, ya soke ni a ƙodata har jini ya zuba a ƙasa.
14 [It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
Ya ji mini rauni a kai a kai ya auko mini kamar mai yaƙi.
15 [“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
“Ina makoki saye da tsummoki na ɓoye fuskata a cikin ƙura.
16 My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
Fuskata ta yi ja don kuka idanuna sun kukumbura;
17 [All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
duk da haka hannuwana ba su aikata ɓarna ba kuma addu’ata mai tsabta ce.
18 [When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
“Ya duniya, kada ki ɓoye jinina; bari yă yi kuka a madadina!
19 But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
Ko yanzu haka shaidata tana sama; wanda zai tsaya mini yana sama.
20 My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
Shi mai yin roƙo a madadina abokina ne yayinda nake kuka ga Allah;
21 I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
a madadin mutum ya yi roƙo ga Allah kamar yadda mutum yakan yi roƙo domin abokinsa.
22 [I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
“Shekaru kaɗan suka rage in kama hanyar da ba a komawa.
