Ayuba 14
1 “Mutum haihuwar mace kwanakinsa kaɗan ne, kuma cike da wahala.
Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 Yana tasowa kamar fure yana kuma shuɗewa; kamar inuwa, ba ya daɗewa.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 Za ka zura ido a kan irin wannan ne? Za ka kawo shi gaba don ka yi masa shari’a?
Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Wane ne zai iya kawo abin da yake da tsarki daga cikin abu marar tsarki? Babu!
Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one!
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 determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,
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.
Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 “Aƙalla itace yana da bege. In an sare shi, zai sāke tsira, zai tohu da kyau.
For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
8 Ko da jijiyoyin itacen sun tsufa a cikin ƙasa kuma kututturensa ya mutu a cikin ƙasa.
Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
9 Daga ya ji ƙanshin ruwa zai tohu yă yi tsiro kamar shuka.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.
10 Amma mutum yana mutuwa a bizne shi; daga ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, shi ke nan.
But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
11 Kamar yadda ruwa yake bushewa a teku ko a gaɓar rafi sai wurin yă bushe,
The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:
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 lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised 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)
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, — (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 a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
15 Za ka kira zan kuwa amsa maka; za ka yi marmarin abin da hannunka ya halitta.
Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
16 Ba shakka a lokacin ne za ka lura da matakaina amma ba za ka kula da zunubaina ba.
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 Za a daure laifofina a cikin jaka; za ka rufe zunubaina.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
18 “Amma kamar yadda manyan duwatsu suke fāɗuwa su farfashe su kuma gusa daga wurarensu,
And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;
19 yadda ruwa yakan zaizaye duwatsu ruwa mai ƙarfi kuma yă kwashe turɓayar ƙasa, haka kake barin mutum ba bege.
The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Ka sha ƙarfinsa gaba ɗaya, sai ya ɓace, ka sauya yanayinsa ka kuma kore shi.
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.
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 knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.
22 Zafin jikinsa kaɗai yake ji yana kuka wa kansa ne kaɗai.”
But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.
