< 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.
One day the heavenly beings came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with them to present himself to the Lord.
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.
The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
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.
“Have you noticed my servant Job?” 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. And he has kept his integrity, even though you wanted me to harm him for no reason.”
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 everything to save his life.
5 Laakiinse bal haatan gacantaada soo fidi, oo lafihiisa iyo jiidhkiisa taabo, oo isna markaasuu hortaada wax xun kaaga sheegi doonaa.
But reach out and hurt his bones and his flesh, and he will definitely curse you to your face.”
6 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Shayddaan ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gacantaaduu ku jiraa, waxaadse u daysaa naftiisa.
So the Lord said to Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to him, but don't kill him.”
7 Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga hortiisii ka tegey, oo wuxuu Ayuub tin iyo cedhib ku dhuftay boogo xunxun.
Then Satan left the Lord's presence and inflicted Job with horrible skin sores from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.
8 Markaasaa Ayuub wuxuu qaatay dheri burburkiis inuu isku xoqo, oo wuxuu dhex fadhiistay dambas.
Job picked up a piece of broken pottery to scratch himself as he sat in ashes.
9 Markaasaa naagtiisii waxay ku tidhi, War ma weli baad daacadnimadaadii sii haysanaysaa? War hoy, Ilaah wax xun ka sheeg, oo iska dhimo.
His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to 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.
But he told her, “You're talking just like any foolish woman would! Should we receive only good from God, and not evil?” Despite all this, Job said nothing sinful.
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.
When three of Job's friends heard of all the trouble that had happened to him, they each left their homes: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together and went to comfort and console 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 saw Job from a distance they hardly recognized him. They broke out into loud wailing, tore their robes, and threw dust into the air over their heads.
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.
They sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. None of them said anything to him because they saw how badly he was suffering.
