Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
Kamar ƙanƙara a rani ko ruwan sama a lokacin girbi, haka girmamawa bai dace da wawa ba.
2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.
Kamar gwara mai yawo ko alallaka mai firiya, haka yake da la’anar da ba tă dace tă kama ka ba take.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
Bulala don doki, linzami don jaki, sanda kuma don bayan wawaye!
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.
Kada ka amsa wa wawa bisa ga wautarsa, in ba haka ba kai kanka za ka zama kamar sa.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Ka amsa wa wawa bisa ga wautarsa, in ba haka ba zai ga kansa mai hikima ne.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off [his own] feet, [and] drinketh in damage.
Kamar datsewar ƙafafun wani ko shan dafi haka yake da a aika da saƙo ta hannun wawa.
7 The legs of the lame hang loose; So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
Kamar ƙafafun gurgun da suka yi laƙwas haka karin magana yake a bakin wawa.
8 As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
Kamar ɗaura dutse a majajjawa haka yake da girmama wawa.
9 [As] a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
Kamar suƙar ƙaya a hannun wanda ya bugu haka karin magana yake a bakin wawa.
10 [As] an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
Kamar maharbi wanda yake jin wa kowa rauni haka yake da duk wanda ya yi hayan wawa ko wani mai wucewa.
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, [So is] a fool that repeateth his folly.
Kamar yadda kare kan koma ga amansa, haka wawa kan maimaita wautarsa.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
Gwamma riƙaƙƙen wawa da mutum mai ganin kansa mai hikima ne.
13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.
Rago yakan ce, “Akwai zaki a kan hanya, zaki mai faɗa yana yawo a tituna!”
14 [As] the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
Kamar yadda ƙofa kan juya a ƙyaurensa, haka rago yake jujjuya a gadonsa.
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
Rago kan sa hannunsa a kwano ba ya ma iya ɗaga shi ya kai bakinsa.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.
Rago yana gani yana da hikima fiye da mutane bakwai da suke ba da amsa da dalilai a kan ra’ayinsu.
17 He that passeth by, [and] vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Is [like] one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Kamar wani da ya kama kare a kunnuwa haka yake da mai wucewa da ya tsoma baki a faɗan da ba ruwansa.
18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,
Kamar yadda mahaukaci yake harbin cukwimai ko kibiyoyi masu dafi
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?
haka yake da mutumin da ya ruɗe maƙwabci sa’an nan ya ce, “Wasa ne kawai nake yi!”
20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
In ba itace wuta takan mutu; haka kuma in ba mai gulma ba za a yi faɗa ba.
21 [As] coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
Kamar yadda gawayi yake ga murhu, itace kuma ga wuta, haka mutum mai neman faɗa yake ga faɗa.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
Kalmomin mai gulma suna kama da burodi mai daɗi; sukan gangara can cikin cikin mutum.
23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart Are [like] an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
Kamar kaskon da aka dalaye da azurfar da ba a tace ba haka leɓuna masu mugun zuciya.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:
Mai yin ƙiyayya yakan ɓoye kansa da maganar bakinsa, amma a cikin zuciyarsa yana cike da munafunci
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:
Ko da jawabinsa ya ɗauki hankali, kada ka gaskata shi, gama abubuwa ƙyama guda bakwai sun cika zuciyarsa.
26 Though [his] hatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
Wataƙila ya ɓoye ƙiyayyarsa da ƙarya, duk da haka za a tone muguntarsa a cikin taro.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
In mutum ya haƙa rami, shi zai fāɗi a ciki; in mutum ya mirgino dutse, dutsen zai mirgine a kansa.
28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Harshe mai faɗin ƙarya yana ƙin waɗanda yake ɓata musu rai, daɗin baki kuma yakan aikata ɓarna.
