Ecclesiastes 5
1 Guard thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be ready to hearken: it is better than when fools give sacrifices; for they know not that they do evil.
Ka lura da matakanka sa’ad da ka tafi gidan Allah. Ka je kusa don ka saurara a maimakon miƙa hadaya kamar wawaye, waɗanda ba su san sun yi laifi ba.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
Kada ka yi subul da bakinka, kada zuciyarka tă yi garajen furta wani abu a gaban Allah. Allah yana sama kai kuma kana duniya, saboda haka, kada kalmominka su zama da yawa.
3 For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.
Kamar yadda son cika buri yakan zo sa’ad da kana da yawan damuwa, haka jawabin wawa yake sa’ad da yake yawan magana.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools; pay that which thou vowest.
Sa’ad da ka yi alkawari ga Allah, kada ka ɓata lokaci wajen cika shi. Ba ya jin daɗin wawaye; ka cika alkawarinka.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Gara kada ka yi alkawari, da ka yi amma ba ka cika ba.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
Kada ka bar bakinka ya kai ga yin zunubi. Kada kuma ka kai ƙara wurin ɗan saƙon haikali cewa, “Alkawarin da na yi kuskure ne.” Me ya sa Allah yake fushi a kan abin da ka faɗa har yă lalatar da aikin hannuwanka?
7 For through the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but fear thou God.
Yawan buri da yawan magana ba su da amfani. Saboda haka, ka ji tsoron Allah.
8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.
In ka ga ana zaluntar matalauta a wani yanki, ba a yin adalci, ana kuma tauye hakki, kada ka yi mamakin waɗannan abubuwa; domin akwai wani jami’in da yake bisa da wani, a bisansu biyu kuwa akwai wani.
9 But the profit of a land every way is a king that maketh himself servant to the field.
Kowa yakan amfana da bunkasar amfanin ƙasa, sarki kansa yana samun riba daga gonaki.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase; this also is vanity.
Duk mai ƙaunar kuɗi ba ya samun isashe; duk ma ƙaunar dukiya ba ya ƙoshi da abin da yake samu. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?
Kamar yadda kaya suke haɓaka, haka ma masu amfani da su. Kuma wane amfani ne suke ga mai shi in ba ciyar da idanunsa a kansu ba?
12 Sweet is the sleep of a labouring man, whether he eat little or much; but the satiety of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Barcin ma’aikaci daɗi gare shi, ko yă ci kaɗan ko da yawa, amma yalwar mai arziki ba ta barinsa yă iya yin barci.
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt;
Na ga wani mugun abu a duniya, arzikin da aka ajiye don yă cuce mai shi,
14 and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
ko kuwa dukiyar da ta ɓace ta wata hasara, har ya zama sa’ad da ya haifi ɗa, babu abin da ya bar masa.
15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he go back as he came, and shall take nothing for his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Tsirara mutum yakan fito daga cikin mahaifiyarsa, kuma kamar yadda ya fito, haka zai koma. Ba ya ɗaukan kome daga wahalarsa da zai riƙe a hannunsa.
16 And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go; and what profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind?
Wannan ma mugun abu ne, Yadda mutum ya zo, haka zai koma, to, wace riba ce ya ci, da yake ya yi wahalar iska ce kawai?
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much vexation and sickness and wrath.
Duk rayuwarsa ya ci abinci a cikin duhu, da ɓacin rai mai tsanani, da azaba, da fushi.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good, yea, it is comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy pleasure for all his labour, wherein he laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him; for this is his portion.
Sa’an nan na gane cewa abu mai kyau ne, daidai ne kuma mutum yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗin aikin da ya yi a’yan kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi, gama wannan shi aka ƙaddara wa mutum daga faman wahalarsa a duniya a cikin’yan kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi a duniya, gama wannan shi ne rabonsa.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour — this is the gift of God.
Ban da haka ma, sa’ad da Allah ya ba wa mutum dukiya da wadata, ya kuma ba shi zarafi yă ji daɗinsu, ya kuma amince da rabonsa, sai yă ji daɗin aikinsa, wannan kyauta ce ta Allah.
20 For let him remember the days of his life that they are not many; for God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
Da ƙyar yake tunani a kan kwanakin rayuwarsa, domin Allah ya yarje masa, yă zauna da farin ciki.
