Ecclesiastes 3
1 Everything has its own time—a time for all that happens here:
Akwai lokaci domin kowane abu, da kuma lokaci domin kowane aiki a duniya.
2 A time of birth, and a time of death. A time of planting, and a time of harvest.
Lokacin haihuwa da lokacin mutuwa, lokacin shuki da lokacin tumɓukewa.
3 A time of killing, and a time of healing. A time of tearing down, and a time of building up.
Lokacin kisa da lokacin warkarwa, lokacin rushewa da lokacin ginawa.
4 A time of crying, and a time of laughing. A time of mourning, and a time of dancing.
Lokacin kuka da lokacin dariya, lokacin makoki da lokacin rawa.
5 A time of throwing away stones, and a time of gathering up stones. A time of embracing, and a time of avoiding embracing.
Lokacin warwatsa duwatsu da lokacin tara su, lokacin runguma da lokacin dainawa.
6 A time of searching, and a time of giving up searching. A time of keeping, and a time of throwing away.
Lokacin nema, da lokacin fid da zuciya, lokacin ajiyewa da lokacin zubarwa.
7 A time of tearing, and a time of mending. A time of keeping quiet, a time of speaking up.
Lokacin yagewa da lokacin ɗinkewa, lokacin yin shiru da lokacin magana.
8 A time of loving, and a time of hating. A time of warfare, and a time of peace.
Lokacin ƙauna da lokacin ƙiyayya, lokacin yaƙi da lokacin salama.
9 So what do you get for all your hard work?
Wace riba ce ma’aikaci yake da ita saboda wahalarsa?
10 I have examined what God gives us to do.
Na ga nawayar da Allah ya ɗora a kan mutane.
11 Everything God does is beautifully timed, and even though he has also placed the idea of eternity in our minds, we can't fully understand what God does from beginning to end.
Ya yi kowane abu da kyau a lokacinsa. Ya kuma sa matuƙa a zukatan mutane, duk da haka sun kāsa gane abin da Allah ya yi daga farko zuwa ƙarshe.
12 I concluded that there's nothing better than being happy and looking for the good in life.
Na san ba abin da ya fi wa mutane kyau fiye da su ji daɗi su kuma yi alheri yayinda suke da rai.
13 In addition everyone should eat and drink and enjoy their work—this is God's gift to us.
Cewa kowa yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗi cikin dukan aikinsa, wannan kyautar Allah ce.
14 I also concluded that everything God does lasts forever: nothing can be added to it or taken away from it. God acts in this way so that people may stand in awe of him.
Na san cewa duk abin da Allah ya yi zai dawwama har abada; ba abin da za a ƙara ko a rage. Allah ya yi haka domin mutane su girmama shi.
15 Whatever was, is; and whatever will be, has been, and God examines the whole of time.
Duk abin da yana nan ya taɓa kasancewa, kuma abin da zai kasance, ya taɓa kasancewa; Allah kuma zai nemi bayanin abubuwan da suka wuce.
16 I also observed that here on earth there was evil even in the place where there was supposed to be justice; even where things were meant to be right, there was evil.
Sai na ga wani abu kuma a duniya, a wurin shari’a, akwai mugunta a can, a wurin adalci, akwai mugunta a can.
17 But then I thought to myself, “Ultimately God will judge both those who do right and those who do wrong, and every deed and action, at the appointed time.”
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Allah zai shari’anta masu adalci da masu mugunta, gama za a kasance da lokaci domin kowane aiki, lokaci domin kowane abu.”
18 I also thought to myself, “Regarding what happens to human beings—God proves to us that we're no better than animals.”
Na sāke yin tunani, “Game da mutane kam, Allah kan gwada su don su san cewa ba su fi dabba ba.
19 For what happens to human beings is the same as what happens to animals—in the same way one dies, the other dies too. They all have the breath of life—so regarding any advantage human beings have over animals, there is none. Definitely this is very hard to understand!
Ƙaddarar mutum ɗaya take da ta dabba; ƙaddara ɗaya ce take jiransu biyu. Yadda ɗayan yake mutuwa, haka ma ɗayan. Dukansu numfashinsu iri ɗaya ne; mutum bai fi dabba ba. Kowane abu ba shi da amfani.
20 They all end up in the same place—they all came from dust, and they all return to dust.
Duka wuri ɗaya za su tafi; gama duka daga turɓaya suka fito, kuma ga turɓaya duka za su koma.
21 Who really knows whether the breath of life of human beings goes up above, and the breath of life of animals goes down below to the earth?
Wa ya tabbatar cewa ruhun mutum yakan tashi sama sa’an nan na dabba yă sauka ƙasa?”
22 So I concluded that there's nothing better than for people to enjoy their work. This is what we are meant to do. For who can bring anyone back from the dead to show them what will happen after they die?
Saboda haka na ga babu abin da ya fi kyau wa mutum fiye da yă more wahalar aikinsa, domin wannan ne rabonsa. Gama wa zai kawo shi yă ga abin da zai faru a bayansa?
