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 Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.
2 Yana da’ya’ya maza bakwai da’yan mata uku,
And there were 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, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceeding great: 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 every one in 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 were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days.
6 Wata rana mala’iku suka kawo kansu gaban Ubangiji, Shaiɗan shi ma ya zo tare da su.
Now on a certain day when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present 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.”
And the Lord said to him: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil?
9 Sai Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Haka kawai Ayuba yake tsoron Allah?
And Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain?
10 Ba ka kāre shi da iyalinsa gaba ɗaya da duk mallakarsa ba? Ka Albarkaci ayyukan hannunsa yadda dabbobinsa duk sun cika ko’ina.
Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth?
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 stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesseth thee not to thy 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.
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 Wata rana lokacin da’ya’yan Ayuba suke cikin biki a gidan babban ɗansa,
Now upon a certain day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,
14 sai ɗan aika ya zo wurin Ayuba ya ce masa, “Shanu suna huɗa, jakuna kuma suna kiwo nan kusa,
There came a messenger to Job, and said: The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding 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 took all away, and slew the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, another came, and said: The fire of God fell from heaven, and striking the sheep and the servants, hath consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, there came another, and said: The Chaldeans made three troops, and have fallen upon the camels, and taken them, moreover they have slain the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, and behold another came in, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their elder 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!”
A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to fell thee.
20 Da jin haka sai Ayuba ya tashi ya yayyaga tufafin jikinsa, ya aske kansa. Ya fāɗi a ƙasa ya yi sujada
Then Job rose up, and rent his garments, and having shaven his head fell down upon 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 said: Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: as it hath pleased the Lord so is it 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 these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he any foolish thing against God.
