Job 23
1 Then Job answered and said,
Sa’an nan Ayuba ya amsa,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
“Ko a yau, ina kuka mai zafi; hannunsa yana da nauyi duk da nishin da nake yi.
3 O that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
Da a ce na san inda zan same shi; da a ce zan iya zuwa wurin da yake zama!
4 I would set my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Zan kai damuwata wurinsa in yi gardama da shi.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
Zan nemi in san abin da zai ce mini, in kuma auna abin da zai ce mini.
6 Would he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
Zai yi gardama da ni da ikonsa mai girma? Babu, ba zai zarge ni da laifi ba.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Mai adalci ne zai kawo ƙara a wurinsa, kuma zan samu kuɓuta daga wurin mai shari’an nan har abada.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
“Amma in na je gabas, ba ya wurin; in na je yamma, ba zan same shi ba.
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
Sa’ad da yake aiki a arewa, ba ni ganinsa; sa’ad da ya juya zuwa kudu, ba na ganinsa.
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Amma ya san hanyar da nake bi; sa’ad da ya gwada ni zan fito kamar zinariya.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Ƙafafuna suna bin ƙafafunsa kurkusa; na bi hanyarsa ba tare da na juya ba.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Ban fasa bin dokokin da ya bayar ba; na riƙe maganarsa da muhimmanci fiye da abincin yau da gobe.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
“Amma ya tsaya shi kaɗai, kuma wa ya isa yă ja da shi? Yana yin abin da yake so.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Yana yi mini abin da ya shirya yă yi mini, kuma yana da sauran irinsu a ajiye.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Shi ya sa na tsorata a gabansa; sa’ad da na yi tunanin wannan duka, nakan ji tsoronsa.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Allah ya sa zuciyata ta yi sanyi; Maɗaukaki ya tsorata ni.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Duk da haka duhun bai sa in yi shiru ba, duhun da ya rufe mini fuska.
