< 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.
There was a man in the land of 'Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.
2 Oo waxaa isaga u dhashay toddoba wiil iyo saddex gabdhood.
And there were born unto him 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.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons 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.
And his sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited 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 it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.
6 Haddaba waxaa jirtay maalin ay Ilaah wiilashiisu u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga hortiisa isa soo taagaan, oo weliba Shayddaanna wuu soo dhex galay.
Now it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of 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.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through 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.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Markaasaa Shayddaan Rabbiga u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal Ayuub ma waxtarla'aan buu Ilaah uga cabsadaa?
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, 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.
Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out 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 stretch only forth thy hand and touch all that he hath, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy 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.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, all that is his be in thy power; only against himself shalt thou not stretch forth thy hand. The Accuser went thereupon away from the presence of the Lord.
13 Oo maalin ay wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisii wax ku cunayeen oo khamri ku cabbayeen gurigii walaalkoodii ugu weynaa ayaa
And it happened on a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
14 waxaa Ayuub u yimid mid wargeeye ah oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyadoo dibidii ay beerta jeexayaan oo dameerihiina ay agtooda daaqayaan
That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were 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.
When the Sabeans made an incursion, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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.
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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.
This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, The Chaldeans posted themselves in three divisions, and made an inroad against the camels, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto 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 this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first-born 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, behold, a violent wind came from the direction of the wilderness, and struck against the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.
20 Markaasaa Ayuub sara joogsaday, oo huwiskiisii jeexjeexay, oo madaxiisiina wuu xiiray, oo intuu dhulka ku dhacay ayuu sujuuday,
Then arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.
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 he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.
22 Oo waxyaalahaas oo dhan Ayuub innaba kuma uu dembaabin, oo Ilaahna eed kama uu sheegin.
With all this did Job not sin, and attributed no injustice to God.
