< 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.
In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from 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.
His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of 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.
Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to 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.
And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Haddaba waxaa jirtay maalin ay Ilaah wiilashiisu u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga hortiisa isa soo taagaan, oo weliba Shayddaanna wuu soo dhex galay.
Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among 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.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
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.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?
9 Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal Ayuub ma waxtarla'aan buu Ilaah uga cabsadaa?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
10 Sow deyr kuma aad wareejin isaga, iyo reerkiisa, iyo waxa uu haysto oo dhanba? Shuqulkii gacmihiisaad barakaysay, oo xoolihiisiina dhulkay aad ugu bateen.
Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the 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 only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
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.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 Oo maalin ay wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisii wax ku cunayeen oo khamri ku cabbayeen gurigii walaalkoodii ugu weynaa ayaa
Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job 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
when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
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.
and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath 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 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 yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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 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 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.
and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, 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 Markaasaa Ayuub sara joogsaday, oo huwiskiisii jeexjeexay, oo madaxiisiina wuu xiiray, oo intuu dhulka ku dhacay ayuu sujuuday,
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
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.
and said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
22 Oo waxyaalahaas oo dhan Ayuub innaba kuma uu dembaabin, oo Ilaahna eed kama uu sheegin.
In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
