Ayuba 1
1 A ƙasar Uz akwai wani mutum mai suna Ayuba. Mutum ne marar laifi kuma mai adalci; yana tsoron Allah, ba ruwansa da mugunta.
There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 Yana da’ya’ya maza bakwai da’yan mata uku,
And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 yana da tumaki dubu bakwai, raƙuma dubu uku, shanu ɗari biyar, da jakuna ɗari biyar, yana kuma da masu yi masa aiki da yawa. A ƙasar Gabas ba wani kamar sa.
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 ’Ya’yansa maza sukan yi biki a gidajensu, wannan yă yi yă ba wancan, sai su kira’yan’uwansu mata ukun su ci, su sha tare.
And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 Bayan lokacin bikin ya wuce, sai Ayuba yă aika su zo don yă tsarkake su. Tun da sassafe zai miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa domin kowannensu, don yana tunani cewa, “Mai yiwuwa’ya’yana sun yi wa Allah zunubi, ko sun la’anta shi a cikin zuciyarsu.” Haka Ayuba ya saba yi.
And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 Wata rana mala’iku suka kawo kansu gaban Ubangiji, Shaiɗan shi ma ya zo tare da su.
But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Daga ina ka fito?” Shaiɗan ya amsa wa Ubangiji ya ce, “Daga yawo a duniya ina kai da kawowa a cikinta.”
The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Ko ka ga bawana Ayuba? A cikin duniya babu wani kamar sa; shi marar laifi ne, adali kuma, mutum ne mai tsoron Allah, ba ruwansa da mugunta.”
And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 Sai Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Haka kawai Ayuba yake tsoron Allah?
Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 Ba ka kāre shi da iyalinsa gaba ɗaya da duk mallakarsa ba? Ka Albarkaci ayyukan hannunsa yadda dabbobinsa duk sun cika ko’ina.
Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 Ka ɗan miƙa hannunka ka raba shi da duk abin da yake da shi, ba shakka zai la’anta ka kana ji, kana gani.”
But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “To, shi ke nan, duk abin da yake da shi yana hannunka, amma kada ka taɓa shi, shi kansa.” Sai Shaiɗan ya bar Ubangiji.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 Wata rana lokacin da’ya’yan Ayuba suke cikin biki a gidan babban ɗansa,
So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 sai ɗan aika ya zo wurin Ayuba ya ce masa, “Shanu suna huɗa, jakuna kuma suna kiwo nan kusa,
a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 sai Sabenawa suka auka musu suka kwashe su suka tafi, suka karkashe masu yi maka aiki duka, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 Yana cikin magana sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “Wutar Allah ta sauko daga sama ta ƙona dukan tumaki da masu lura da su, wato, bayinka, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 Yana cikin magana sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “Ƙungiyoyin mahara uku na Kaldiyawa sun auka wa raƙumanka sun kwashe su duka, suka kuma karkashe masu yi maka aiki, ni kaɗai ne na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 Yana cikin magana, sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “’Ya’yanka maza da mata suna biki, suna ci suna sha a gidan babban ɗanka,
He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 sai wata iska mai ƙarfi daga hamada ta auka ta rushe gidan, gidan kuwa ya fāɗi a kan’ya’yanka ya kashe su, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 Da jin haka sai Ayuba ya tashi ya yayyaga tufafin jikinsa, ya aske kansa. Ya fāɗi a ƙasa ya yi sujada
Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 ya ce, “Tsirara na fito daga cikin mahaifiyata, tsirara kuma zan koma. Ubangiji ya bayar, Ubangiji kuma ya karɓa; yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji.”
and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 Cikin wannan duka Ayuba bai yi wa Allah zunubi ta wurin ba shi laifi ba.
In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
