Ayuba 14
1 “Mutum haihuwar mace kwanakinsa kaɗan ne, kuma cike da wahala.
Man that is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble:
2 Yana tasowa kamar fure yana kuma shuɗewa; kamar inuwa, ba ya daɗewa.
As a flower, he cometh forth—and fadeth, He fleeth also 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?
And yet upon such a one as this, hast thou opened thine eye? And, him, wouldst thou bring 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 thing out of an 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 determined am his days, the number of his months, is with thee, Fixed times for him, thou hast appointed and he cannot go beyond.
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 sway from him, that he may rest, Till he shall pay off, as a hireling, his day.
7 “Aƙalla itace yana da bege. In an sare shi, zai sāke tsira, zai tohu da kyau.
Though there is—for a tree—hope, —if it should be cut down, that, again, it will grow, and, the tender branch thereof, will not cease;
8 Ko da jijiyoyin itacen sun tsufa a cikin ƙasa kuma kututturensa ya mutu a cikin ƙasa.
If its root, should become old in the earth, and, in the dust, its stock should die:
9 Daga ya ji ƙanshin ruwa zai tohu yă yi tsiro kamar shuka.
Through the scent of water, it may break forth, and produce branches like a sapling,
10 Amma mutum yana mutuwa a bizne shi; daga ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, shi ke nan.
Yet, man, dieth, and is prostrate, Yea the son of earth doth cease to breathe, and where is he?
11 Kamar yadda ruwa yake bushewa a teku ko a gaɓar rafi sai wurin yă bushe,
Waters, have failed from, the sea, and, a river, may waste and dry 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, a man, hath lain down, and shall not arise, until there are no heavens, they shall not awake, nor be roused up 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, in hades, thou wouldst hide me! that thou wouldst keep me secret, until the turn of thine anger, that thou wouldst set for me a fixed 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, can he live again? All the days of my warfare, would I wait, until my relief should come: —
15 Za ka kira zan kuwa amsa maka; za ka yi marmarin abin da hannunka ya halitta.
Thou shouldst call, and, I, would answer thee, —For the work of thine own hand, thou shouldst long.
16 Ba shakka a lokacin ne za ka lura da matakaina amma ba za ka kula da zunubaina ba.
For, now, my steps, thou countest, Thou wilt not pass over my sin:
17 Za a daure laifofina a cikin jaka; za ka rufe zunubaina.
Sealed up in a bag, is my transgression, and thou hast glued over mine iniquity.
18 “Amma kamar yadda manyan duwatsu suke fāɗuwa su farfashe su kuma gusa daga wurarensu,
But, in very deed, a mountain falling, will lie prostrate, or, a rock moved out of its place:
19 yadda ruwa yakan zaizaye duwatsu ruwa mai ƙarfi kuma yă kwashe turɓayar ƙasa, haka kake barin mutum ba bege.
Stones, have been hollowed out by waters, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth, and, the hope of mortal man, thou hast destroyed:
20 Ka sha ƙarfinsa gaba ɗaya, sai ya ɓace, ka sauya yanayinsa ka kuma kore shi.
Thou dost overpower him utterly, and he departeth, Disfiguring his face, so, hast thou sent 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 knoweth it not, Or they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not of them.
22 Zafin jikinsa kaɗai yake ji yana kuka wa kansa ne kaɗai.”
But, his flesh, for himself, is in pain, and, his soul, for himself, doth mourn.
