Ayuba 1
1 A ƙasar Uz akwai wani mutum mai suna Ayuba. Mutum ne marar laifi kuma mai adalci; yana tsoron Allah, ba ruwansa da mugunta.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 Yana da’ya’ya maza bakwai da’yan mata uku,
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 yana da tumaki dubu bakwai, raƙuma dubu uku, shanu ɗari biyar, da jakuna ɗari biyar, yana kuma da masu yi masa aiki da yawa. A ƙasar Gabas ba wani kamar sa.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 ’Ya’yansa maza sukan yi biki a gidajensu, wannan yă yi yă ba wancan, sai su kira’yan’uwansu mata ukun su ci, su sha tare.
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Bayan lokacin bikin ya wuce, sai Ayuba yă aika su zo don yă tsarkake su. Tun da sassafe zai miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa domin kowannensu, don yana tunani cewa, “Mai yiwuwa’ya’yana sun yi wa Allah zunubi, ko sun la’anta shi a cikin zuciyarsu.” Haka Ayuba ya saba yi.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Wata rana mala’iku suka kawo kansu gaban Ubangiji, Shaiɗan shi ma ya zo tare da su.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yhwh, and Satan came also among them.
7 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 Yhwh said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Yhwh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 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.”
And Yhwh 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?
9 Sai Shaiɗan ya amsa ya ce, “Haka kawai Ayuba yake tsoron Allah?
Then Satan answered Yhwh, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Ba ka kāre shi da iyalinsa gaba ɗaya da duk mallakarsa ba? Ka Albarkaci ayyukan hannunsa yadda dabbobinsa duk sun cika ko’ina.
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Ka ɗan miƙa hannunka ka raba shi da duk abin da yake da shi, ba shakka zai la’anta ka kana ji, kana gani.”
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “To, shi ke nan, duk abin da yake da shi yana hannunka, amma kada ka taɓa shi, shi kansa.” Sai Shaiɗan ya bar Ubangiji.
And Yhwh said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Yhwh.
13 Wata rana lokacin da’ya’yan Ayuba suke cikin biki a gidan babban ɗansa,
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
14 sai ɗan aika ya zo wurin Ayuba ya ce masa, “Shanu suna huɗa, jakuna kuma suna kiwo nan kusa,
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:
15 sai Sabenawa suka auka musu suka kwashe su suka tafi, suka karkashe masu yi maka aiki duka, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 Yana cikin magana sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “Wutar Allah ta sauko daga sama ta ƙona dukan tumaki da masu lura da su, wato, bayinka, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 Yana cikin magana sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “Ƙungiyoyin mahara uku na Kaldiyawa sun auka wa raƙumanka sun kwashe su duka, suka kuma karkashe masu yi maka aiki, ni kaɗai ne na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 Yana cikin magana, sai ga wani ɗan aika ya zo ya ce, “’Ya’yanka maza da mata suna biki, suna ci suna sha a gidan babban ɗanka,
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
19 sai wata iska mai ƙarfi daga hamada ta auka ta rushe gidan, gidan kuwa ya fāɗi a kan’ya’yanka ya kashe su, ni kaɗai na tsira na zo in gaya maka!”
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Da jin haka sai Ayuba ya tashi ya yayyaga tufafin jikinsa, ya aske kansa. Ya fāɗi a ƙasa ya yi sujada
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 ya ce, “Tsirara na fito daga cikin mahaifiyata, tsirara kuma zan koma. Ubangiji ya bayar, Ubangiji kuma ya karɓa; yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji.”
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Yhwh gave, And Yhwh hath taken away; blessed be the name of Yhwh.
22 Cikin wannan duka Ayuba bai yi wa Allah zunubi ta wurin ba shi laifi ba.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
