Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who knows the wise? and who knows the interpretation of a saying? A man's wisdom will lighten his countenance; but a man of shameless countenance will be hated.
Wa yake kama da mai hikima? Wa ya san bayanin abubuwa? Hikima takan haskaka fuskar mutum, ta kuma kawo sakin fuska.
2 Observe the commandment of the king, and [that] because of the word of the oath of God.
Ka yi biyayya da umarnin sarki, na ce, saboda alkawarin da ka yi a gaban Allah.
3 Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do whatsoever he shall please,
Kada ka yi hanzarin tashi daga gaban sarki. Kada ka kāre abin da ba daidai ba, gama zai iya yin duk abin da ya ga dama.
4 even as a king having power: and who will say to him, What doest thou?
Da yake maganar sarki ita ce mafificiya, wa zai iya ce masa, “Me kake yi?”
5 He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgment.
Duk wanda ya yi biyayya da umarninsa ba zai sami lahani ba, zuciya mai hikima kuma zai san lokacin da ya dace da kuma hanyoyin da suka fi.
6 For to every thing there is time and judgment; for the knowledge of a man is great to him.
Gama akwai lokaci da hanyoyin da suka dace da yin kowane abu, ko da yake wahalar mutum ta yi masa yawa.
7 For there is no one that knows what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?
Da yake ba wanda ya san nan gaba, wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru?
8 There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.
Ba wanda yake da iko a kan iska har da zai riƙe ta, saboda haka babu mai iko kan ranar mutuwarsa. Kamar yadda ba a sallamar mutum a lokacin yaƙi, haka ma mugunta ba za tă saki masu aikata ta ba.
9 So I saw all this, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; all the things wherein man has power over man to afflict him.
Na ga dukan waɗannan, yayinda na lura da kowane abin da ake yi a duniya. Akwai lokacin da mutum yakan nauyaya wa waɗansu ba da sonsa ba.
10 And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and [that] out of the holy place: and they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this also is vanity.
Sa’an nan kuma, na ga an binne masu mugunta, waɗanda suke shiga da fita daga tsattsarkan wuri suke kuma samun yabo a birnin da suka yi wannan. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
11 Because there is no contradiction made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.
In ba a hanzarta aka yanke hukunci a kan laifi ba, zukatan mutane sukan cika da ƙulle-ƙullen aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba.
12 He that has sinned has done evil from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:
Ko da yake mugu ya aikata laifi ɗari ya kuma yi tsawon rai, na san cewa zai fi wa masu tsoron Allah kyau, waɗanda suke girmama Allah.
13 but it shall not be well with the ungodly, and he shall not prolong his days, [which are] as a shadow; forasmuch as he fears not before God.
Duk da haka, domin masu mugunta ba su ji tsoron Allah ba, abubuwa ba za su yi musu kyau ba, ransu kamar inuwa yake ba zai yi tsawo ba.
14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous persons to whom it happens according to the doing of the ungodly; and there are ungodly men, to whom it happens according to the doing of the just: I said, This is also vanity.
Akwai kuma wani abu marar amfani da yake faruwa a duniya, masu adalci sukan sha hukuncin da ya dace da masu mugunta, masu mugunta kuma sukan karɓi sakayyar da ya cancanci masu adalci su samu. Na ce, wannan ma, ba shi da amfani.
15 Then I praised mirth, because there is no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry: and this shall attend him in his labour all the days of his life, which God has given him under the sun.
Saboda haka abin da na ce, shi ne mutum yă ji daɗi, domin iyakar jin daɗinsa a wannan rai, shi ne yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa kansa daɗi. Aƙalla yana iya yin wannan in ya yi aiki a kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi a wannan duniya.
16 Whereupon I set my heart to know wisdom, and to perceive the trouble that was wrought upon the earth: for there is that neither by day nor night sees sleep with his eyes.
Da na mai da hankalina don in sami hikima in kuma lura da wahalar mutum a duniya, ko da a ce idanunsa ba sa barci dare da rana,
17 And I beheld all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.
sam, ba zai taɓa fahimci abin da Allah yake yi ba. Iyakar ƙoƙarin da ka yi duk ba za ka iya ganewa ba. Masu hikima suna iya cewa sun sani, amma kuwa ba su sani ba.
