Ayuba 7
1 “Mutum bai sha wahalar aiki ba a duniya? Rayuwarsa ba kamar ta wanda aka yi hayarsa ba ne?
“Is there not warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?
2 Kamar yadda bawa yakan jira yamma ta yi, ko kuma kamar yadda wanda aka yi hayarsa yakan jira a biya shi kuɗin aikin da ya yi.
As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,
3 Saboda haka rabona shi ne watanni na zama banza, kowane dare kuwa sai ɓacin rai nake samu.
So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.
4 Lokacin da na kwanta ina tunani, ‘Har sai yaushe zan tashi?’ Gari ya ƙi wayewa, ina ta jujjuyawa har safe.
If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.
5 Jikina duk tsutsotsi da ƙuraje sun rufe shi, fatar jikina ta ruɓe tana fitar da ruwan miki.
My flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,
6 “Kwanakina suna wucewa da sauri, fiye da yadda ƙoshiyar masaƙa take wucewa da sauri, za su kawo ga ƙarshe ba bege.
My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.
7 Ka tuna, ya Allah, raina numfashi ne kawai; idanuna ba za su taɓa sāke ganin farin ciki ba.
Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.
8 Idanun da suke ganina yanzu ba za su sāke ganina ba; za ku neme ni amma ba za ku same ni ba.
The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on me—and I am not.
9 Kamar yadda girgije yakan ɓace yă tafi, haka mutum yake shige zuwa kabari ba kuwa zai dawo ba. (Sheol h7585)
A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Ba zai taɓa zuwa gidansa ba; ba za a sāke san da shi ba.
He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.
11 “Saboda haka ba zan yi shiru ba; zan yi magana cikin ɓacin raina, zan nuna ɓacin raina cikin ruhu, cikin ƙuncin raina.
Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Ni teku ne, ko kuwa dodon ruwa, don me kake tsaro na?
Am I a sea [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?
13 Lokacin da nake zato zan sami salama in na kwanta a gadona don in huta,
When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.
14 duk da haka kana ba ni tsoro da mafarke-mafarke, kana tsorata ni da wahayi.
And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,
15 Na gwammace a shaƙe ni in mutu maimakon in kasance cikin wannan jiki.
And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.
16 Ba na so in zauna da rai; ba zan rayu ba har abada. Ku rabu da ni; rayuwata ba ta da amfani.
I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days [are] vanity.
17 “Mene ne mutum har da ka kula da shi haka, har ka mai da hankali a kansa,
What [is] man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?
18 har kake duba shi kowace safiya, kake kuma gwada shi koyaushe?
And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?
19 Ba za ka ɗan daina kallo na ba ko ka rabu da ni na ɗan lokaci?
How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow my spittle.
20 In na yi zunubi, me na yi maka, kai mai lura da mutane? Don me ka sa ni a gaba? Na zame maka kaya mai nauyi ne?
I have sinned, what do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?
21 Me ya sa ba za ka gafarta mini laifofina ba? Gama na kusa kwantawa cikin ƙasa; za ka neme ni, amma ba za ka same ni ba.”
You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
