Ayuba 10
1 “Na gaji da rayuwa; saboda haka bari in faɗi zuciyata gabagadi yadda raina yake jin ba daɗi.
My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Zan ce wa Allah, kada ka hukunta ni, amma ka gaya mini laifin da na yi maka.
I will say unto God: Do not condemn me; make me know wherefore Thou contendest with me.
3 Kana jin daɗin ba ni wahala, don me ka yashe ni, abin da ka halitta da hannunka, yayinda kake murmushi game da shirye-shiryen mugaye?
Is it good unto Thee that Thou shouldest oppress, that Thou shouldest despise the work of Thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Idanunka irin na mutum ne? Kana gani yadda mutum yake gani ne?
Hast Thou eyes of flesh? or seest Thou as man seeth?
5 Kwanakinka kamar na mutane ne, ko shekarunka kamar na mutane ne
Are Thy days as the days of man, or Thy years as a man's days,
6 da za ka neme ni da laifi ka hukunta ni?
That Thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,
7 Ko da yake ka san ba ni da laifi, kuma ba wanda zai iya cetona daga hannunka.
Although Thou knowest that I shall not be condemned; and there is none that can deliver out of Thy hand?
8 “Da hannuwanka ka ƙera ni, kai ka halicce ni. Yanzu kuma kai za ka juya ka hallaka ni?
Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet Thou dost destroy me!
9 Ka tuna cewa ka mulmula ni kamar yumɓu. Yanzu za ka mai da ni in zama ƙura kuma?
Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt Thou bring me into dust again?
10 Ba kai ka zuba ni kamar madara ba, na daskare kamar cuku.
Hast Thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Ka rufe ni da tsoka da fata, ka harhaɗa ni da ƙasusuwa da jijiyoyi?
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Ka ba ni rai ka kuma yi mini alheri, kuma cikin tanadinka ka kula da ruhuna.
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and Thy providence hath preserved my spirit.
13 “Amma wannan shi ne abin da ka ɓoye a zuciyarka, na kuma san abin da yake cikin zuciyarka ke nan.
Yet these things Thou didst hide in Thy heart; I know that this is with Thee;
14 In na yi zunubi kana kallo na kuma ba za ka fasa ba ni horo ba don laifin da na yi.
If I sin, then Thou markest me, and Thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 Idan ina da laifi, kaitona! Ko da ba ni da laifi, ba zan iya ɗaga fuskata ba, gama kunya ta ishe ni duk ɓacin rai ya ishe ni.
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head — being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.
16 In na ɗaga kaina, za ka neme ni kamar zaki ka sāke nuna al’ajabin ikonka a kaina.
And if it exalt itself, Thou huntest me as a lion; and again Thou showest Thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Kana sāke kawo sababbin waɗanda za su ba da shaida a kaina kana ƙara haushinka a kaina; kana ƙara kawo mini hari.
Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, and increasest Thine indignation upon me; host succeeding host against me.
18 “Me ya sa ka fito da ni daga cikin uwata? Da ma na mutu kafin a haife ni.
Wherefore then hast Thou brought me forth out of the womb? Would that I had perished, and no eye had seen me!
19 Da ma ba a halicce ni ba, da na mutu tun daga cikin cikin uwata na wuce zuwa kabari!
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 ’Yan kwanakina ba su kusa ƙarewa ba ne? Ka rabu da ni don in ɗan samu sukuni na ɗan lokaci
Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 kafin in koma inda na fito, ƙasa mai duhu da inuwa sosai,
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 zuwa ƙasa mai duhun gaske, da inuwa da hargitsi, inda haske yake kamar duhu.”
A land of thick darkness, as darkness itself; a land of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
