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.
AGAIN there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
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 unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in 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 unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy 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 Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 Ka ɗan taɓa lafiyar jikinsa ka gani ba shakka zai la’anta ka kana ji kana gani.”
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy 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 unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save 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.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 Sai Ayuba ya ɗauki kaskon tukunya yana ta sosa ƙurajen da shi, yayinda yake zaune cikin toka.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Matarsa ta ce masa, “Har yanzu kana nan da amincinka? Ka la’anta Allah ka mutu!”
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
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.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
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.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
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 when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
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.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
