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 certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
2 Yana da’ya’ya maza bakwai da’yan mata uku,
And he had 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 cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] 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 visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also 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 the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
6 Wata rana mala’iku suka kawo kansu gaban Ubangiji, Shaiɗan shi ma ya zo tare da su.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with 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 the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
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 you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
9 Sai Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Haka kawai Ayuba yake tsoron Allah?
Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
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 you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon 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 put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless 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.
Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 Wata rana lokacin da’ya’yan Ayuba suke cikin biki a gidan babban ɗansa,
And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
14 sai ɗan aika ya zo wurin Ayuba ya ce masa, “Shanu suna huɗa, jakuna kuma suna kiwo nan kusa,
And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were plowing, and the she-asses were feeding near 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 spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come 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!”
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come 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!”
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come 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,
While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with 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!”
suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come 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
So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, 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, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; 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 events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
