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.
On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
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.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
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.”
Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
4 Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Fata don fata! Mutum zai iya rabuwa da duk abin da yake da shi domin ransa.
Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
5 Ka ɗan taɓa lafiyar jikinsa ka gani ba shakka zai la’anta ka kana ji kana gani.”
But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
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.”
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
7 Sai Shaiɗan ya bar Ubangiji, ya je ya sa wa Ayuba ƙuraje masu zafi a jikinsa daga tafin ƙafafunsa har zuwa kansa.
So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
8 Sai Ayuba ya ɗauki kaskon tukunya yana ta sosa ƙurajen da shi, yayinda yake zaune cikin toka.
Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
9 Matarsa ta ce masa, “Har yanzu kana nan da amincinka? Ka la’anta Allah ka mutu!”
His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will 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 Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
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.
Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
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,
When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
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.
Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
