< Ayuba 14 >
1 “Mutum haihuwar mace kwanakinsa kaɗan ne, kuma cike da wahala.
“Man, who 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.
He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 Za ka zura ido a kan irin wannan ne? Za ka kawo shi gaba don ka yi masa shari’a?
Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
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.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t 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, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, 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 is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 Ko da jijiyoyin itacen sun tsufa a cikin ƙasa kuma kututturensa ya mutu a cikin ƙasa.
Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies 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 sprout boughs like a plant.
10 Amma mutum yana mutuwa a bizne shi; daga ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, shi ke nan.
But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 Kamar yadda ruwa yake bushewa a teku ko a gaɓar rafi sai wurin yă bushe,
As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries 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 lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused 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 )
“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me! (Sheol )
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 dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15 Za ka kira zan kuwa amsa maka; za ka yi marmarin abin da hannunka ya halitta.
You would call, and I would answer you. 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.
But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 Za a daure laifofina a cikin jaka; za ka rufe zunubaina.
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18 “Amma kamar yadda manyan duwatsu suke fāɗuwa su farfashe su kuma gusa daga wurarensu,
“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. 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 torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
20 Ka sha ƙarfinsa gaba ɗaya, sai ya ɓace, ka sauya yanayinsa ka kuma kore shi.
You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and 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 honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 Zafin jikinsa kaɗai yake ji yana kuka wa kansa ne kaɗai.”
But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
