Ayuba 21
1 Sai Ayuba ya amsa,
Then Job answered,
2 “Ku saurare ni da kyau; bari wannan yă zama ta’aziyyar da za ku ba ni.
"Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3 Ku ba ni zarafi in yi magana, bayan na gama sai ku yi ba’arku.
Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.
4 “A wurin mutum ne na kawo kukana? Don me ba zan kāsa haƙuri ba?
As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn't I be impatient?
5 Ku dube ni, ku kuma yi mamaki; ku rufe bakina da hannunku.
Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 Lokacin da na yi tunanin wannan, sai in ji tsoro; jikina yă fara rawa.
When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 Don me mugaye suke rayuwa har su tsufa, suna kuma ƙaruwa da iko?
"Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 Suna ganin’ya’yansu suna girma, suna ganin jikokinsu suna tasowa a kan idanunsu.
Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9 Gidajensu suna zama cikin lafiya ba ruwansu da fargaba. Kuma Allah ba ya ba su horo.
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Shanunsu ba sa fasa haihuwa; suna haihuwa ba sa yin ɓari.
Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and do not miscarry.
11 Suna aika’ya’yansu kamar garke;’ya’yansu suna guje-guje da tsalle-tsalle.
They send forth their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
12 Suna rera da kayan kiɗa na ganga da garaya; suna jin daɗin busar sarewa.
They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Duk da haka suna ce wa Allah, ‘Ka rabu da mu.’ Ba ma so mu san hanyoyinka.
They tell God, 'Depart from us, for we do not want to know about your ways.
15 Wane ne Maɗaukaki har da za mu bauta masa? Wace riba za mu samu ta wurin yin addu’a gare shi?
What is Shaddai, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?'
16 Amma arzikinsu ba a hannunsu yake ba saboda haka ba ruwana da shawarar mugaye.
Look, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 “Duk da haka, sau nawa fitilar mugu take mutuwa? Sau nawa bala’i yake auka masa, ko Allah ya taɓa hukunta mugu cikin fushi?
"How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that he distributes sorrows in his anger?
18 Sau nawa suke zama kamar tattaka a iska, ko kuma kamar ƙura da iskar hadari take kwashewa?
How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 An ce ‘Allah yana tara wa’ya’yan mutum horon da zai ba mutumin.’ Bari yă ba mutumin horo don yă san ya yi haka!
You say, 'God lays up his iniquity for his children.' Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
20 Bari idanunsa su ga yadda zai hallaka; bari yă sha daga fushin Maɗaukaki.
Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of Shaddai.
21 Ko zai damu da iyalin da ya bari a baya sa’ad da kwanakinsa suka ƙare?
For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
22 “Wani zai iya koya wa Allah ilimi tun da yana shari’anta har da waɗanda suke manya masu iko?
"Shall any teach God knowledge, seeing he judges those who are high?
23 Wani mutum zai mutu cikin jin daɗi da kwanciyar hankali,
One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 jikinsa ɓulɓul, ƙasusuwansa da alamar ƙarfi.
His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 Wani kuma zai mutu cikin ɗacin rai, bai taɓa jin daɗin wani abu mai kyau ba.
Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26 Dukansu kuwa za a bizne su a ƙasa, kuma tsutsotsi za su cinye su.
They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
27 “Na san duk abin da kuke tunani, yadda za ku saɓa mini.
"Look, I know your thoughts, the devices with which you would wrong me.
28 Kuna cewa, ‘Yanzu ina gidan babban mutumin nan, tenti wurin da mugaye suke zama?’
For you say, 'Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?'
29 Ba ku taɓa tambayar waɗanda suke tafiya ba? Ba ku kula da labaransu,
Haven't you asked wayfaring men? Do you not know their evidences,
30 cewa an kāre mugu daga ranar bala’i, an kāre shi daga ranar fushi?
that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, That they are led forth to the day of wrath?
31 Wane ne yake gaya masa abin da ya yi? Wane ne yake rama abin da ya yi?
Who shall declare his way to his face? Who shall repay him what he has done?
32 Za a bizne shi a kabari, a kuma yi tsaron kabarinsa.
Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men shall keep watch over the tomb.
33 Akan mai da ƙasa a kan gawarsa a hankali; dukan jama’a suna binsa, da yawa kuma suna gabansa.
The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him. All men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 “Saboda haka ta yaya za ku iya yi mini ta’aziyya da surutan banzan nan naku? Babu wani abu cikin amsarku sai ƙarya!”
So how can you comfort me with nonsense, seeing that in your answers there remains only falsehood?"
