Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember nowe thy Creator in the daies of thy youth, whiles the euill daies come not, nor the yeeres approche, wherein thou shalt say, I haue no pleasure in them:
Ka tuna da Mahaliccinka a kwanakin ƙuruciyarka, kafin lokacin wahala ta zo shekaru kuma su ƙarato sa’ad da za ka ce, “Ba na jin daɗinsu,”
2 Whiles the sunne is not darke, nor ye light, nor the moone, nor the starres, nor the cloudes returne after the raine:
kafin rana da haske wata da taurari su daina haske, gizagizai kuma su tattaru bayan da suka sheƙa ruwa;
3 When the keepers of ye house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow them selues, and the grinders shall cease, because they are few, and they waxe darke that looke out by ye windowes:
sa’ad da masu tsaron gida suke rawar jiki, majiya ƙarfi kuma suka rasa ƙarfi, sa’ad da masu niƙa suka daina don ba su da yawa, idanun da suke duba ta taga suka duhunta;
4 And the doores shall be shut without by the base sound of the grinding, and he shall rise vp at the voice of the birde: and all the daughters of singing shall be abased.
sa’ad da aka rufe ƙofofin shiga tituna ƙarar niƙa kuma ya tsagaita; sa’ad da kukan tsuntsaye ta farkar da mutane, ba a kuwa jin waƙoƙinsu,
5 Also they shalbe afraide of the hie thing, and feare shalbe in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grassehopper shall be a burden, and concupiscence shall be driuen away: for man goeth to the house of his age, and the mourners goe about in the streete.
sa’ad da mutane suke jin tsoron tudu da kuma hatsarori a tituna; sa’ad da itacen almon ya toho, fāra kuma ya yi ta jan jikinsa da ƙyar, sha’awace-sha’awace sun kafe. Daga nan mutum ya tafi madawwamiyar gidansa ya bar masu makoki suna ta yi.
6 Whiles the siluer coarde is not lengthened, nor the golden ewer broken, nor the pitcher broken at the well, nor the wheele broken at the cisterne:
Ka tuna da shi, kafin igiyar azurfa ta katse, ko tasar zinariya ta fashe; kafin tulu yă ragargaje a maɓulɓula, ko guga ta tsinke a rijiya,
7 And dust returne to the earth as it was, and the spirit returne to God that gaue it.
turɓaya ta koma ƙasar da ta fito, rai kuma yă koma ga Allah wanda ya ba da shi.
8 Vanitie of vanities, saieth the Preacher, all is vanitie.
“Ba amfani! Ba amfani!” In ji Malami, “Gaba ɗaya ba amfani!”
9 And the more wise the Preacher was, the more he taught the people knowledge, and caused them to heare, and searched foorth, and prepared many parables.
Ba kawai Malami ya kasance mai hikima ba, amma kuma ya koyar da mutane. Ya yi tunani ya kuma yi binciken da ya tsara karin magana masu yawa.
10 The Preacher sought to finde out pleasant wordes, and an vpright writing, euen the wordes of trueth.
Malami ya yi bincike don yă sami kalmomin da suka dace, kuma abin da ya rubuta daidai ne da kuma gaskiya.
11 The wordes of the wise are like goads, and like nailes fastened by the masters of the assemblies, which are giuen by one pastour.
Kalmomin masu hikima kamar tsinken tsokanar dabba ne, tarin maganganunsu kuma kamar ƙusoshi ne da aka kafa daram, da aka ba wa Makiyayi guda.
12 And of other things beside these, my sone, take thou heede: for there is none ende in making many bookes, and much reading is a wearines of the flesh.
Ka yi hankali ɗana, game da duk wani ƙari a kan waɗannan. Wallafa littattafai ba shi da iyaka, kuma yawan karatu yakan gajiyar da jiki.
13 Let vs heare the end of all: feare God and keepe his commandements: for this is the whole duetie of man.
Yanzu an ji kome; ga ƙarshen magana. Ka ji tsoron Allah ka kuma kiyaye umarnansa, gama wannan shi ne dukan hakkin mutum.
14 For God will bring euery worke vnto iudgement, with euery secret thing, whether it be good or euill.
Gama Allah zai shari’anta kowane irin aiki, har da waɗanda aka yi a ɓoye, ko nagari ne, ko mugu.
