Proverbs 30
1 These are the words of Agur, son of Jakeh. An oracle. This is what the man says, God, I'm really tired, I'm worn out.
Maganganun Agur ɗan Yake, magana ce horarriya. Wannan mutum ya furta wa Itiyel da kuma ga Ukal,
2 I'm so stupid I'm not really a man; I can't even think like a human being.
“Ni ne mafi jahilci a cikin mutane; ba ni da fahimi irin na mutum.
3 I have not learned wisdom; I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
Ban koyi hikima ba, ba ni kuma da sani game da Mai Tsarkin nan,
4 Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? Who holds the winds in the palm of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has set the earth's boundaries? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Are you sure you don't know?
Wane ne ya taɓa haura zuwa sama ya dawo? Wane ne ya tattara iska a tafin hannuwansa? Wane ne ya nannaɗe ruwaye a cikin rigarsa? Wane ne ya kafa dukan iyakokin duniya? Mene ne sunansa, da kuma sunan ɗansa? Faɗa mini in ka sani!
5 Every word God says has been proved true. He defends everyone who comes to him for protection.
“Kowace maganar Allah ba ta da kuskure; shi ne garkuwa ga waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga gare shi.
6 Don't add anything to his words, or he will criticize you and you'll be shown to be a liar.
Kada ka ƙara ga maganarsa, in ba haka ba zai tsawata maka ya kuma nuna kai maƙaryaci ne.
7 God, I want to request two things from you. Please don't refuse to let me have them before I come to die.
“Abu biyu ina roƙonka, ya Ubangiji; kada ka hana ni kafin in mutu.
8 Keep me from being false, help me not to tell lies. Don't make me poor or rich; just provide me with the food I need.
Ka kawar da ƙarya da kuma ƙarairayi nesa da ni; kada ka ba ni talauci ko arziki, amma ka ba ni abincina na yini kaɗai.
9 Otherwise if I have plenty of money, I may give up on you, saying, “Who is the Lord?” while if I'm poor I may steal and bring the name of my God into disrepute.
In ba haka ba, zan wadace in ƙi ka har in ce, ‘Wane ne Ubangiji?’ Ko kuwa in zama matalauci in yi sata ta haka in kunyata sunan Allahna.
10 Don't slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you and you'll suffer for it.
“Kada ka baza ƙarairayi game da bawa ga maigidansa, in ba haka ba, zai la’ance ka, za ka kuwa sha wahala a kan haka.
11 There are some who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
“Akwai waɗanda sukan zagi mahaifinsu ba sa kuma sa wa mahaifiyarsu albarka;
12 There are some who see themselves as pure but they're still filthy—they have not been washed.
waɗanda sukan ɗauka su tsarkaka ne a ganinsu alhali kuwa ƙazamai ne su;
13 There are some who think themselves so high and mighty, and who look down on others.
waɗanda kullum idanunsu masu kallon reni ne, waɗanda kallon da suke yi na daurin gira ne;
14 There are some who have teeth like swords, incisors like knives, ready to devour the poor from the earth, the needy from society.
waɗanda haƙoransu takuba ne waɗanda kuma muƙamuƙansu tarin wuƙaƙe ne don su cinye matalauta daga duniya da kuma mabukata daga cikin mutane.
15 The leech has two daughters who cry out, “Give me! Give me!” There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough!”:
“Matsattsaku tana da’ya’ya mata biyu. Suna kuka suna cewa, ‘Ba ni! Ba ni!’ “Akwai abubuwa uku da ba sa taɓa ƙoshi, guda huɗu ba sa taɓa cewa, ‘Ya isa!’
16 The grave, the womb that doesn't become pregnant, the earth thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, “Enough!” (Sheol h7585)
Kabari, mahaifar da ba ta haihuwa, ƙasa, wadda ba ta taɓa ƙoshi da ruwa, da kuma wuta, wadda ba ta taɓa cewa ‘Ya isa!’ (Sheol h7585)
17 People who ridicule their fathers and despise obedience to the mother will have their eyes pecked out by wild ravens and eaten by young vultures.
“Idon da yake yi wa mahaifi ba’a, wanda yake wa mahaifiya dariyar rashin biyayya, hankakin kwari za su ƙwaƙule masa ido, ungulai za su cinye su.
18 These three things are amazingly hard for me, four things I just can't understand:
“Akwai abubuwa uku da suke ba ni mamaki, abubuwa huɗu da ba na iya fahimtarsu,
19 The way an eagle soars in the sky, the way a snake slides over a rock, the way a ship sails across the sea, the way a man and a woman fall in love.
yadda gaggafa take firiya a sararin sama, yadda maciji yake tafiya a kan dutse, yadda jirgin ruwa yake tafiya a teku, da kuma sha’ani tsakanin namiji da’ya mace.
20 This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: she eats, she wipes her mouth, and then says, “I haven't done anything wrong!”
“Ga yadda mazinaciya take yi. Takan ci ta share bakinta ta ce, ‘Ban yi wani abu marar kyau ba.’
21 Three things make the earth tremble, there are four things it can't support:
“Akwai abubuwa uku da duniya kan yi rawan jiki, abubuwa huɗu da ba ta iya jurewa,
22 a slave becoming a king, a stupid person eating like a pig,
bawan da ya zama sarki, wawan da ya ƙoshi da abinci,
23 an unbearable woman getting married, and a maidservant taking her mistress's place.
macen da ba a ƙauna wadda ta sami miji, da kuma baiwar da ta ɗauki matsayin uwargijiyarta.
24 There are four things on earth that are small, but very wise:
“Akwai abubuwa huɗu a duniya da suke ƙanana, duk da haka suna da hikima ƙwarai.
25 Ants—they're not strong, but they work hard all summer storing up food.
Kyashi halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka suna ajiyar abincinsu da rani;
26 Hyraxes—they don't have much power, but they make their homes in the rock.
remaye halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka sukan yi gidajensu a duwatsu;
27 Locusts—they don't have a king, but they all march in line abreast.
fāra ba su da sarki, duk da haka suna tafiya tare bisa ga girma;
28 Lizards—you can catch them in your hands, but they live in the king's palace.
ana iya kama ƙadangare da hannu, duk da haka akan same shi a fadodin sarakuna.
29 There are three things that are glorious to watch as they walk, four that look dignified as they move:
“Akwai abubuwa uku da suke jan jiki da kuma taƙama a tafiyarsu abubuwa huɗu waɗanda suke kwarjini da taƙama a tafiyarsu,
30 The lion, supreme among wild animals, who isn't frightened of anything.
zaki mai ƙarfi a cikin namun jeji, wanda ba ya ratse wa kowa;
31 The strutting starling, the male goat, and a king with his army.
zakara mai taƙama, da bunsuru, da kuma sarki mai sojoji kewaye da shi.
32 If you have been foolishly boasting about yourself, or if you've been planning to do something wrong, stop and put your hand over your mouth.
“In ka yi wauta ka kuma ɗaukaka kanka, ko kuwa wani yana ƙulla maka mugunta, ka dāfa hannunka a bisa bakinka!
33 Just as churning milk produces butter, and twisting someone's nose makes it bleed, so stirring up anger causes arguments.
Gama kamar yadda kaɗaɗɗen madara takan kawo mai, murɗa hanci kuma takan sa a yi haɓo, haka tsokanar fushi takan kawo faɗa.”
