< Ayuub 2 >

1 Haddaba waxaa kaloo jirtay maalin kale oo ay Ilaah wiilashiisu u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga hortiisa isa soo taagaan, oo weliba Shayddaanna wuu soo dhex galay, si uu isna Rabbiga isu soo hor taago.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
2 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.
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
3 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. Oo weliba isagu daacadnimadiisii wuu sii haystaa, in kastoo aad igu dirtay, si aan isaga sababla'aan ugu halligo.
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
4 Markaasaa Shayddaan wuxuu Rabbiga ugu jawaabay, Haragba harag baa loo baxshaa, oo nin wuxuu haysto oo dhan ayuu naftiisa u baxshaa.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
5 Laakiinse bal haatan gacantaada soo fidi, oo lafihiisa iyo jiidhkiisa taabo, oo isna markaasuu hortaada wax xun kaaga sheegi doonaa.
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
6 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Shayddaan ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gacantaaduu ku jiraa, waxaadse u daysaa naftiisa.
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
7 Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga hortiisii ka tegey, oo wuxuu Ayuub tin iyo cedhib ku dhuftay boogo xunxun.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 Markaasaa Ayuub wuxuu qaatay dheri burburkiis inuu isku xoqo, oo wuxuu dhex fadhiistay dambas.
And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
9 Markaasaa naagtiisii waxay ku tidhi, War ma weli baad daacadnimadaadii sii haysanaysaa? War hoy, Ilaah wax xun ka sheeg, oo iska dhimo.
Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 Laakiinse wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Waxaad u hadlaysaa sida naagaha nacasyada ah middood. Naa waa sidee? Ilaah gacantiisa intaynu samaan ka qaadanno, miyaynan xumaanna ka qaadanayn? Oo in kastoo waxyaalahaas oo dhammu ay ku dheceen Ayuub innaba afkiisa kuma dembaabin.
“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
11 Haddaba Ayuub saddexdiisii saaxiib markay maqleen xumaantii isaga ku dhacday oo dhan ayuu midkood kastaaba meeshiisii ka yimid. Oo kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen Eliifas oo ahaa reer Teemaan, iyo Bildad oo ahaa reer Shuuxii, iyo Soofar oo ahaa reer Nacamaatii, oo iyana waxay dhammaantood ballan ku dhigteen inay u yimaadaan si ay isaga ugu tacsiyeeyaan oo ay u qalbi qaboojiyaan.
Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 Oo markay isagii meel fog ka arkeen oo ay aqoon waayeen ayay codkoodii kor u qaadeen oo ooyeen, oo midkood waluba wuxuu jeexjeexay huwiskiisii, oo intay boodh xagga samada u tuureen ayay madaxa isaga shubeen.
When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
13 Oo toddoba maalmood iyo toddoba habeen ayay isagii dhulka la fadhiyeen, oo midkoodna eray keliya kuma odhan, waayo, waxay arkeen inuu aad iyo aad u xanuunsanayo.
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
