Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I turned and considered all the oppressions that are wrought vnder the sunne, and beholde the teares of the oppressed, and none comforteth them: and lo, the strength is of the hand of them that oppresse them, and none comforteth them.
Na sāke dubawa sai na ga zaluncin da ake yi a duniya. Na ga hawayen waɗanda ake zalunta kuma ba su da mai taimako; masu iko suna goyon bayan masu zalunci, ga shi ba su da mai taimako.
2 Wherefore I praysed the dead which now are dead, aboue the liuing, which are yet aliue.
Sai na furta cewa matattu, waɗanda suka riga suka mutu, sun fi waɗanda suke a raye farin ciki, waɗanda har yanzu suke da rai.
3 And I count him better then them both, which hath not yet bin: for he hath not seene the euill workes which are wrought vnder the sunne.
Amma wanda ya fi su duka shi ne wanda bai riga ya kasance ba, wanda bai ga muguntar da ake yi a duniya ba.
4 Also I beheld all trauaile, and all perfection of workes that this is ye enuie of a man against his neighbour: this also is vanitie and vexation of spirit.
Sai na gane cewa, duk wata fama da duk wata nasara sun samo asali daga kishin da mutum yake yi na maƙwabcinsa ne. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
5 The foole foldeth his hands, and eateth vp his owne flesh.
Wawa yakan kame hannuwansa yă kuma lalatar da kansa.
6 Better is an handfull with quietnesse, then two handfuls with labour and vexation of spirit.
Gara tafin hannu guda cike da kwanciyar rai da tafin hannu biyu cike da tashin hankali da harbin iska kawai.
7 Againe I returned, and sawe vanitie vnder the sunne.
Na kuma ga wani abu marar amfani a duniya.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second, which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill trauaile.
Akwai wani mutum shi kaɗai; bai shi da ɗa ko ɗan’uwa. Ba shi da hutu daga wahalarsa, duk da haka bai ƙoshi da dukiyarsa ba. Ya tambayi kansa, “Ma wane ne nake wannan wahala, kuma me ya sa nake hana kaina jin daɗi?” Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, harkar baƙin cikin ne kawai!
9 Two are better then one: for they haue better wages for their labour.
Biyu sun fi ɗaya, gama suna samun riba mai kyau na aikinsu.
10 For if they fal, the one wil lift vp his felow: but wo vnto him that is alone: for he falleth, and there is not a second to lift him vp.
In ɗaya ya fāɗi, abokinsa zai taimake shi yă tashi. Amma abin tausayi ne ga mutumin da ya fāɗi ba shi kuma da wanda zai taimake shi yă tashi!
11 Also if two sleepe together, then shall they haue heate: but to one how should there be heate?
In mutum biyu sun kwanta tare, za su ji ɗumin juna. Amma yaya mutum ɗaya zai ji ɗumi yana shi kaɗai?
12 And if one ouercome him, two shall stand against him: and a threefolde coard is not easily broken.
Ana iya shan ƙarfin mutum ɗaya, mutum biyu za su iya kāre kansu. Igiya riɓi uku tana da wuya tsinkawa.
13 Better is a poore and wise childe, then an olde and foolish King, which will no more be admonished.
Gara saurayi wanda yake matalauci amma yake da hikima da sarkin da ya tsufa mai wauta, wanda ba ya karɓar shawara.
14 For out of the prison he commeth forth to reigne: when as he that is borne in his kingdome, is made poore.
Yana yiwuwa saurayin yă fito daga kurkuku yă hau gadon sarauta, ko kuma dai an haife shi cikin talauci a ƙasarsa.
15 I behelde all the liuing, which walke vnder the sunne, with the second childe, which shall stand vp in his place.
Na ga cewa dukan waɗanda suka rayu suka kuma yi tafiya a duniya sun bi saurayin, magājin sarkin.
16 There is none ende of all the people, nor of all that were before them, and they that come after, shall not reioyce in him: surely this is also vanitie and vexation of spirit.
Babu ƙarshe ga dukan mutanen da suka riga su. Amma waɗanda suka zo daga baya, ba su gamsu da magājin ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
