< Ayuub 1 >

1 Dalka Cuus la yidhaahdo waxaa joogi jiray nin magiciisa Ayuub la odhan jiray, oo ninkaasuna wuxuu ahaa nin qumman oo toosan, wuxuuna ahaa mid Ilaah ka cabsada oo sharka ka fogaada.
Once there was a man called Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of integrity who did what was right. He respected God and avoided evil.
2 Oo waxaa isaga u dhashay toddoba wiil iyo saddex gabdhood.
He had seven sons and three daughters.
3 Oo weliba xoolihiisuna waxay ahaayeen toddoba kun oo ido ah, iyo saddex kun oo geel ah, iyo shan boqol oo dibi oo laba laba ah, iyo shan boqol oo dameerood oo dhaddig ah, oo weliba wuxuu kaloo lahaa addoommo aad u badan, oo sidaas daraaddeed ninkaasu wuxuu ahaa kan ugu wada weyn dadka bariga oo dhan.
He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred teams of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, as well as many servants. He was more wealthy than anyone else in the East.
4 Oo wiilashiisii way tegi jireen, oo midkood kastaaba maalintiisa ayuu gurigiisa diyaafad ku samayn jiray, oo waxay u cid direen oo u yeedheen saddexdii gabdhood oo walaalahood ahaa inay wax la cunaan oo wax la cabbaan aawadeed.
Job's sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes on their specific day, also inviting their sisters to come and eat and drink with them.
5 Oo maalmihii ay diyaafaddii hayn jireen markay dhammaadaan ayaa Ayuub carruurtiisii u cid diri jiray oo daahirin jiray, oo intuu aroor hore kaco ayuu intay ahaayeen oo dhan u bixin jiray qurbaanno la gubo, waayo, Ayuub wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo wiilashaydu ay dembaabeen, oo ay qalbigooda Ilaah wax xun kaga sheegeen. Oo Ayuubna sidaasuu yeeli jiray had iyo goorba.
When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and purify them by getting up early in the morning to offer a burnt offering for each of them. He was concerned, thinking to himself, “Maybe my children have sinned in some way and have unintentionally offended God.” This is what Job always did.
6 Haddaba waxaa jirtay maalin ay Ilaah wiilashiisu u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga hortiisa isa soo taagaan, oo weliba Shayddaanna wuu soo dhex galay.
One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with them.
7 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Shayddaan ku yidhi, War xaggee baad ka timid? Oo Shayddaan wuxuu Rabbiga ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ka imid dhulkii aan maray, oo aan hor iyo dibba ugu dhex socday.
The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
8 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Shayddaan ku yidhi, Addoonkayga Ayuub ma ka fikirtay? Maxaa yeelay, isaga oo kale dhulka ma joogo, waayo, isagu waa nin qumman oo toosan, oo ah mid Ilaah ka cabsada oo sharka ka fogaada.
“Have you paid attention to Job, my servant?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids evil.”
9 Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal Ayuub ma waxtarla'aan buu Ilaah uga cabsadaa?
“Is it for nothing that Job respects God?” Satan answered. “You've placed a protective fence around him and his family—in fact around everything he has.
10 Sow deyr kuma aad wareejin isaga, iyo reerkiisa, iyo waxa uu haysto oo dhanba? Shuqulkii gacmihiisaad barakaysay, oo xoolihiisiina dhulkay aad ugu bateen.
You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds have increased so much they fill the whole land!
11 Laakiinse haddaba bal gacantaada soo fidi, oo wuxuu haysto oo dhan taabo, oo isna sida runta ah, hortaada wax xun buu kaaga sheegi doonaa.
But if you reach out and take everything he has, he will definitely curse you to your face.”
12 Markaaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Shayddaan ku yidhi, Bal eeg, wuxuu haysto oo dhammu gacantaaday ku jiraan, laakiinse isaga nafsaddiisa waa inaadan far saarin. Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga hortiisii ka tegey.
The Lord told Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to everything he has, but don't hurt him physically.” Then Satan left the Lord's presence.
13 Oo maalin ay wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisii wax ku cunayeen oo khamri ku cabbayeen gurigii walaalkoodii ugu weynaa ayaa
The day came when while Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 waxaa Ayuub u yimid mid wargeeye ah oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyadoo dibidii ay beerta jeexayaan oo dameerihiina ay agtooda daaqayaan
a messenger came to Job and told him, “As the oxen were plowing and female donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 ayaa waxaa na soo weeraray reer Shebaa, oo waxay dheceen xoolihii, oo weliba midiidinnadiina seef bay ku laayeen, oo anigoo keliya ayaa ka soo baxsaday inaan warka kuu soo sheego.
the Sabeans attacked and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
16 Oo weli intii kaasu sii hadlayay ayuu mid kale yimid, oo wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah dabkiisii ayaa samada ka soo dhacay, oo wuxuu wada gubay oo baabbi'iyey idihii iyo midiidinnadii la jirayba, oo anigoo keliya ayaa ka soo baxsaday inaan warka kuu soo sheego.
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and set the sheep and shepherds on fire and burned them up. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
17 Oo weli intii kaasu sii hadlayay ayuu mid kale yimid, oo wuxuu yidhi, Reer Kaldayiin oo saddex koox ah ayaa geelii soo weeraray, oo dhammaantiisna way dheceen, oo weliba midiidinnadiina seef bay ku laayeen, oo anigoo keliya ayaa ka soo baxsaday inaan warka kuu soo sheego.
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Three armed companies of Chaldeans attacked the camels and took them, killing the herdsmen. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
18 Oo weli intii kaasu sii hadlayay ayuu mid kale yimid, oo wuxuu yidhi, Wiilashaadii iyo gabdhahaagii waxay wax ku cunayeen oo khamri ku cabbayeen gurigii walaalkooda ugu weyn,
While he was still speaking another messenger arrived and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother
19 oo bal eeg, waxaa cidlada ka timid dabayl weyn, oo gurigii afartiisa rukun bay ku dhufatay, kolkaasuu ku dumay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa, oo dhammaantood way dhinteen, oo anigoo keliya ayaa ka soo baxsaday inaan warka kuu soo sheego.
when all of a sudden a tremendous wind came in from the desert. It hit the house on all four sides so that it collapsed on them and they died. Only I escaped to bring you this news.”
20 Markaasaa Ayuub sara joogsaday, oo huwiskiisii jeexjeexay, oo madaxiisiina wuu xiiray, oo intuu dhulka ku dhacay ayuu sujuuday,
Then Job stood up and tore his robe. Then cut off his hair and fell to the ground in worship.
21 oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigoo qaawan baan uurkii hooyaday ka soo baxay, oo haddana anigoo qaawan baan halkaas ku noqon doonaa. Rabbigaa wax i siiyey, oo haddana Rabbigaa iga qaatay, ammaan waxaa leh magaca Rabbiga.
“I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I shall be naked when I leave,” he said. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. May the Lord's name be honored.”
22 Oo waxyaalahaas oo dhan Ayuub innaba kuma uu dembaabin, oo Ilaahna eed kama uu sheegin.
In all of this Job did not sin, nor blame God.
