Job 36
1 Elihu [finished by] saying this:
Elihu ya ci gaba,
2 “[Job, ] be patient with me a little longer, because I have something else to teach you. I have something else to say that God [wants you to know].
“Ka ɗan ƙara haƙuri da ni kaɗan, zan kuma nuna maka cewa akwai sauran abubuwan da zan faɗa a madadin Allah.
3 I will tell you what I have learned from many sources, in order to show that God, my creator, is just/fair.
Daga nesa na sami sanina; zan nuna cewa Mahaliccina shi mai gaskiya ne.
4 I am not saying anything to you that is false; I, who am standing in front of you, am someone who understands things (very well/perfectly) [HYP].
Abin da zan gaya maka ba ƙarya ba ne; mai cikakken sani yana tare da kai.
5 “Hey, God is [very] powerful, and he does not despise anyone, and he understands everything.
“Allah mai iko ne, amma ba ya rena mutane; shi mai girma ne cikin manufarsa.
6 He does not allow wicked people to remain alive, and he always acts justly toward those who are poor.
Ba ya barin mugaye da rai sai dai yana ba waɗanda ake tsanantawa hakkinsu.
7 He always watches over [MTY] those who are righteous; he allows them to sit on thrones [and rule] with kings, and they are honored forever.
Ba ya fasa duban masu adalci; yana sa su tare da sarakuna yana ɗaukaka su har abada.
8 But if people [who commit crimes] are caught, they [are thrown into prison and] are caused to suffer by being fastened with chains.
Amma in mutane suna daure da sarƙoƙi, ƙunci kuma ya daure su,
9 When that happens, God shows them what they have done; he shows them the sins that they have committed, and he shows them that they have been proud/arrogant.
yana gaya musu abin da suka yi, cewa sun yi zunubi da girman kai.
10 He causes them to listen [MTY] to what he is warning them, and he commands them to turn away from [doing what is] evil.
Yana sa su saurari gyara yă kuma umarce su su tuba daga muguntarsu.
11 If they (listen to/heed) him and serve him, [after they get out of prison] they will prosper for all the years that they are alive and be peaceful/happy.
In sun yi biyayya suka bauta masa, za su yi rayuwa dukan kwanakinsu cikin wadata shekarunsu kuma cikin kwanciyar zuciya.
12 But if they do not (listen/pay attention) to him, they will die violently, not knowing [why God is causing them to die].
Amma in ba su saurara ba, za su hallaka da takobi kuma za su mutu ba ilimi.
13 “Godless/Wicked people continue being angry, and they do not cry out for help, [even] when God is punishing them.
“Waɗanda ba su da Allah a zuciyarsu su ne suke riƙe fushi; ko sa’ad da ya ba su horo, ba su neman taimakonsa.
14 They die while they are still young, disgraced because of their very immoral behavior [EUP].
Suna mutuwa tun suna matasa, cikin ƙazamar rayuwar karuwanci.
15 But God teaches people by causing them to suffer; by afflicting them, he causes them to listen to [MTY] what he is telling them.
Amma yana kuɓutar da masu wahala; yana magana da su cikin wahalarsu.
16 “And Job, [I think that] God [wants to] bring you out of your troubles and allow you to live without distress; he wants your table to be full of very nice food.
“Yana so yă rinjaye ka daga haƙoran ƙunci, zuwa wuri mai sauƙi inda ba matsi zuwa teburinka cike da abincin da kake so.
17 But now, you are being punished [MTY] as wicked people are punished; [God] [PRS] has been punishing you (justly/as you deserve).
Amma yanzu an cika ka da hukuncin da ya kamata a yi wa mugaye; shari’a da kuma gaskiya sun kama ka.
18 So be careful that you are not deceived by [desiring to acquire] money or that you are not ruined by [accepting] large bribes.
Ka yi hankali kada wani yă ruɗe ka da arziki; kada ka bar toshiya ta sa ka juya.
19 [If you are deceived by those things, ] it certainly will not [RHQ] help you to cry out when you are distressed; all of your strength will not help you.
Dukiyarka ko dukan yawan ƙoƙarinka sun isa su riƙe ka su hana ka shan ƙunci?
20 Do not wish that it would be nighttime [in order that God will not see you and punish you], because night is the time when [even] people-groups are destroyed!
Kada ka yi marmari dare yă yi, don a fitar da mutane daga gidajensu.
21 Be careful not to [begin doing] evil things, because [God] has caused you to suffer to prevent you from doing evil.
Ka kula kada ka juya ga mugunta, abin da ka fi so fiye da wahala.
22 “Hey, God is extremely powerful; there is certainly [RHQ] no teacher who teaches like he does.
“An ɗaukaka Allah cikin ikonsa. Wane ne malami kamar sa?
23 No one has [RHQ] told him what he should do, and no one has [RHQ] said to him, ‘You have done what is wrong!’
Wane ne ya nuna masa hanyar da zai bi, ko kuma wane ne ya ce masa, ‘Ba ka yi daidai ba?’
24 People have [always] sung to praise him, so you also should never forget to praise him for what he has done.
Ka tuna ka ɗaukaka aikinsa, waɗanda mutane suka yaba a cikin waƙa.
25 Everyone has seen [what he has done], but [sometimes] we can see it only from far away.
Dukan’yan adam sun gani; mutane sun hanga daga nesa.
26 “Hey, God is very great, and we are not able to know how great he is, and we do not know how old he is.
Allah mai girma ne, ya wuce ganewarmu! Yawan shekarunsa ba su bincikuwa.
27 He draws water up [from the earth and puts it in clouds] and causes it to become rain.
“Yana sa ruwa yă zama tururi yă zubo daga sama.
28 The rain pours down from the sky/clouds; God causes abundant showers to fall on everyone.
Gizagizai suna zubo da raɓarsu kuma ruwan sama yana zubowa’yan adam a wadace.
29 No one can [RHQ] understand how the clouds move [across the sky] or how it thunders in the sky where God lives.
Wane ne zai iya gane yadda ya shimfiɗa gizagizai yadda yake tsawa daga wurin zamansa?
30 He causes lightning to flash all around him, but he causes the bottom of the oceans to remain dark.
Dubi yadda ya baza walƙiyarsa kewaye da shi, tana haskaka zurfin teku.
31 By providing plenty of rain for us, he enables us to have abundant food.
Haka yake mulkin al’ummai yana kuma tanada abinci a wadace.
32 [It is as though] he holds the lightning in his hands, and [then] he commands it to strike where he wants it to.
Yana cika hannuwansa da walƙiya kuma yana ba ta umarni tă fāɗi a inda ya yi nufi.
33 When we hear his thunder, we know that there will be a storm, and the cattle know it, too.”
Tsawarsa tana nuna cewa babbar iska da ruwa suna zuwa; ko shanu sun san da zuwansa.
