Ayuba 2
1 Wata rana kuma mala’iku suka sāke kawo kansu gaban Ubangiji, sai Shaiɗan shi ma ya zo tare da su yă nuna kansa a gabansa.
And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
2 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Daga ina ka fito?” Shaiɗan ya amsa wa Ubangiji ya ce, “Daga yawo a duniya ina kai da kawowa a cikinta.”
And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
3 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Ko ka ga bawana Ayuba? A cikin duniya babu wani kamar sa; shi marar laifi ne, adali kuma, mutum ne mai tsoron Allah ba ruwansa da mugunta. Kuma har yanzu bai fasa zama mai aminci ba duk da wahalar da ka sa na bari ka ba shi ba tare da wani dalili ba.”
And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.
4 Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Fata don fata! Mutum zai iya rabuwa da duk abin da yake da shi domin ransa.
And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.
5 Ka ɗan taɓa lafiyar jikinsa ka gani ba shakka zai la’anta ka kana ji kana gani.”
But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.
6 Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “To, shi ke nan, duk abin da yake da shi yana hannunka, amma kada ka taɓa shi, shi kansa.”
And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.
7 Sai Shaiɗan ya bar Ubangiji, ya je ya sa wa Ayuba ƙuraje masu zafi a jikinsa daga tafin ƙafafunsa har zuwa kansa.
And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.
8 Sai Ayuba ya ɗauki kaskon tukunya yana ta sosa ƙurajen da shi, yayinda yake zaune cikin toka.
And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.
9 Matarsa ta ce masa, “Har yanzu kana nan da amincinka? Ka la’anta Allah ka mutu!”
And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.
10 Ya amsa ya ce, “Kina magana kamar wawiya. Alheri kaɗai za mu dinga samu daga Allah ban da wahala?” A cikin wannan duka Ayuba bai yi zunubi ba cikin maganarsa.
And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.
11 Lokacin da abokan Ayuba su uku wato, Elifaz mutumin Teman, Bildad mutumin Shuwa, da Zofar mutumin Na’ama suka ji wahalar da ta auka wa Ayuba, sai suka shirya suka bar gidajensu suka je don su ta’azantar da shi.
And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.
12 Sa’ad da suka gan shi daga nesa, da ƙyar suka gane shi; sai suka fara kuka da ƙarfi, suka yayyaga tufafinsu suka zuba toka a kawunansu,
And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.
13 sai suka zauna da shi a ƙasa har kwana bakwai. Ba wanda ya ce masa kome, don sun ga tsananin wahalar da yake ciki.
And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
