Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.
Na ce wa kaina, “Zo, zan gwada ka da jin daɗi don in ga abin da yake da kyau.” Amma wannan ma ya zama ba amfani.
2 I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?
Sai na ce, “Dariya hauka ce. Kuma me jin daɗi yake kawowa?”
3 I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding [me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.
Na yi ƙoƙari in sa raina yă yi farin ciki da ruwan inabi, in kuma rungumi wauta, hankalina kuma yana yin mini jagora da hikima. Na so in ga abin da yake da daraja ga mutane a duniya a’yan kwanakinsu.
4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;
Na yi ayyuka masu girma. Na gina gidaje wa kaina na kuma shuka gonakin inabi.
5 I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;
Na yi lambuna da wuraren shaƙatawa, na shuka itatuwa masu’ya’ya iri-iri a cikinsu.
6 I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;
Na yi tankuna don in yi banruwan kurmin itatuwa.
7 I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;
Na sayi bayi mata da maza, ina kuma da waɗansu bayin da aka haifa a gidana. Ina da garkunan shanu da na tumaki da na awaki fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa zama a Urushalima kafin ni.
8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Na tara wa kaina azurfa da zinariya, ina da ma’ajin sarakuna da yankuna. Na samo wa kaina mawaƙa mata da maza, da dukan irin matan da kowane namiji zai so.
9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
Na ƙasaita fiye da kowane mutumin da ya riga ni zama a Urushalima. Cikin dukan wannan, hikimata ba tă rabu da ni ba.
10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.
Ban hana kaina duk wani abin da idona ya yi sha’awarsa ba; ban hana zuciyata wani jin daɗi ba. Zuciyata ta yi murna da dukan aikina, wannan kuwa shi ne ladan dukan famata.
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Duk da haka sa’ad da na duba dukan aikin hannuwana, da abin da na yi fama don in samu, sai kome ya zama ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai; babu wata riba a duniya.
12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been done long ago.
Sai na juya ga tunanina don in lura da hikima, da kuma hauka da wauta. Me ya rage wa magājin sarki yă yi fiye da abin da aka riga aka yi?
13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Na ga cewa hikima ta fi wauta, kamar yadda haske ya fi duhu.
14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.
Mai hikima ya san inda ya nufa, wawa kuwa yana tafiya a cikin duhu; amma sai na gane cewa ƙaddara ɗaya ce take samunsu.
15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Ƙaddarar wawa za tă same ni ni ma. Wace riba ce hikimata za tă jawo mini?” Na ce a zuciyata, “Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.”
16 For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!
Gama ba za a ƙara tunawa da mai hikima ko wawa ba; nan gaba za a manta da su. Yadda wawa zai mutu, haka ma mai hikima!
17 So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
Don haka na ƙi jinin rayuwa, gama aikin da ake yi a duniya yana ɓata mini rai. Dukan abin da yake cikinta kuwa ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
18 And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
Na ƙi jinin dukan abubuwan da na yi wahala ina yi a duniya, gama dole in bar su wa na bayana.
19 And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
Wa ya sani ko zai zama mai hikima ko kuma wawa? Duk da haka zai mallaki dukan aikin da na yi da ƙoƙarina da kuma dabarata a duniya. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
20 Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.
Saboda haka zuciyata ta fara karaya a kan dukan faman aikina a duniya.
21 For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Gama mutum zai yi aikinsa da dukan hikimarsa, da saninsa, da gwanintarsa, sa’an nan dole yă bar dukan abin da ya mallaka ga wani wanda bai yi wahalar kome a ciki ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, hasara ce mai yawa.
22 For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?
Me mutum zai samu daga aikin da ya yi duka, da irin ɗawainiyar da ya sha a kan yin aikin a duniya?
23 For all his days are [but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.
Dukan kwanakinsa aikinsa damuwa ce da ɓacin zuciya; ko da dare ma hankalinsa ba a kwance yake ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
24 There is nothing better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
Ba abin da mutum zai yi da ya fi yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa ransa daɗi daga aikinsa. Na lura cewa wannan ma, ya fito daga hannun Allah ne,
25 For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?
gama in ba tare da shi ba, wa zai iya ci yă sha yă kuma ji daɗi?
26 For to the man that pleaseth him [God] giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ga wanda ya gamshe shi, Allah yakan ba da hikima da sani da farin ciki, amma ga mai zunubi yakan ba shi aikin tarawa da ajiyar dukiya domin yă miƙa wa wanda ya gamshi Allah. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
