Ayuba 14
1 “Mutum haihuwar mace kwanakinsa kaɗan ne, kuma cike da wahala.
As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
2 Yana tasowa kamar fure yana kuma shuɗewa; kamar inuwa, ba ya daɗewa.
He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
3 Za ka zura ido a kan irin wannan ne? Za ka kawo shi gaba don ka yi masa shari’a?
Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
4 Wane ne zai iya kawo abin da yake da tsarki daga cikin abu marar tsarki? Babu!
If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
5 An lissafta kwanakin mutum; ka riga ka ɗibar masa watanni, ka yi masa iyaka, ba zai iya wuce iyakar ba.
If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
6 Saboda haka ka kawar da kanka daga gare shi, ka rabu da shi har sai ya cika lokacinsa kamar mutumin da aka ɗauki hayarsa.
Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
7 “Aƙalla itace yana da bege. In an sare shi, zai sāke tsira, zai tohu da kyau.
For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.
8 Ko da jijiyoyin itacen sun tsufa a cikin ƙasa kuma kututturensa ya mutu a cikin ƙasa.
Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
9 Daga ya ji ƙanshin ruwa zai tohu yă yi tsiro kamar shuka.
Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.
10 Amma mutum yana mutuwa a bizne shi; daga ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, shi ke nan.
But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?
11 Kamar yadda ruwa yake bushewa a teku ko a gaɓar rafi sai wurin yă bushe,
The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
12 haka mutum zai kwanta ba zai tashi ba; har sai duniya ta shuɗe mutane ba za su farka ba, ba za su tashi daga barcinsu ba.
So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
13 “Da ma za ka ɓoye ni a cikin kabari ka ɓoye ni har sai fushinka ya wuce! In da za ka keɓe mini lokaci sa’an nan ka tuna da ni! (Sheol h7585)
If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again! (Sheol h7585)
14 In mutum ya mutu, ko zai sāke rayuwa? In haka ne zan daure kwanakin da nake shan wahala har su wuce.
If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.
15 Za ka kira zan kuwa amsa maka; za ka yi marmarin abin da hannunka ya halitta.
At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 Ba shakka a lokacin ne za ka lura da matakaina amma ba za ka kula da zunubaina ba.
For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
17 Za a daure laifofina a cikin jaka; za ka rufe zunubaina.
My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
18 “Amma kamar yadda manyan duwatsu suke fāɗuwa su farfashe su kuma gusa daga wurarensu,
But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
19 yadda ruwa yakan zaizaye duwatsu ruwa mai ƙarfi kuma yă kwashe turɓayar ƙasa, haka kake barin mutum ba bege.
The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
20 Ka sha ƙarfinsa gaba ɗaya, sai ya ɓace, ka sauya yanayinsa ka kuma kore shi.
You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
21 Ko an martaba’ya’yansa maza, ba zai sani ba; Ko an wulaƙanta su, ba zai gani ba.
His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
22 Zafin jikinsa kaɗai yake ji yana kuka wa kansa ne kaɗai.”
Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
