Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove you with delight, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
Na ce wa kaina, “Zo, zan gwada ka da jin daɗi don in ga abin da yake da kyau.” Amma wannan ma ya zama ba amfani.
2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of delight, What does it?
Sai na ce, “Dariya hauka ce. Kuma me jin daɗi yake kawowa?”
3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
Na yi ƙoƙari in sa raina yă yi farin ciki da ruwan inabi, in kuma rungumi wauta, hankalina kuma yana yin mini jagora da hikima. Na so in ga abin da yake da daraja ga mutane a duniya a’yan kwanakinsu.
4 I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Na yi ayyuka masu girma. Na gina gidaje wa kaina na kuma shuka gonakin inabi.
5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
Na yi lambuna da wuraren shaƙatawa, na shuka itatuwa masu’ya’ya iri-iri a cikinsu.
6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that brings forth trees:
Na yi tankuna don in yi banruwan kurmin itatuwa.
7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
Na sayi bayi mata da maza, ina kuma da waɗansu bayin da aka haifa a gidana. Ina da garkunan shanu da na tumaki da na awaki fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa zama a Urushalima kafin ni.
8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the exclusive treasure of kings and of the provinces: I got me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Na tara wa kaina azurfa da zinariya, ina da ma’ajin sarakuna da yankuna. Na samo wa kaina mawaƙa mata da maza, da dukan irin matan da kowane namiji zai so.
9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
Na ƙasaita fiye da kowane mutumin da ya riga ni zama a Urushalima. Cikin dukan wannan, hikimata ba tă rabu da ni ba.
10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Ban hana kaina duk wani abin da idona ya yi sha’awarsa ba; ban hana zuciyata wani jin daɗi ba. Zuciyata ta yi murna da dukan aikina, wannan kuwa shi ne ladan dukan famata.
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Duk da haka sa’ad da na duba dukan aikin hannuwana, da abin da na yi fama don in samu, sai kome ya zama ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai; babu wata riba a duniya.
12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that comes after the king? even that which has been already done.
Sai na juya ga tunanina don in lura da hikima, da kuma hauka da wauta. Me ya rage wa magājin sarki yă yi fiye da abin da aka riga aka yi?
13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
Na ga cewa hikima ta fi wauta, kamar yadda haske ya fi duhu.
14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happens to them all.
Mai hikima ya san inda ya nufa, wawa kuwa yana tafiya a cikin duhu; amma sai na gane cewa ƙaddara ɗaya ce take samunsu.
15 Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Ƙaddarar wawa za tă same ni ni ma. Wace riba ce hikimata za tă jawo mini?” Na ce a zuciyata, “Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.”
16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dies the wise man? as the fool.
Gama ba za a ƙara tunawa da mai hikima ko wawa ba; nan gaba za a manta da su. Yadda wawa zai mutu, haka ma mai hikima!
17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Don haka na ƙi jinin rayuwa, gama aikin da ake yi a duniya yana ɓata mini rai. Dukan abin da yake cikinta kuwa ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
Na ƙi jinin dukan abubuwan da na yi wahala ina yi a duniya, gama dole in bar su wa na bayana.
19 And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
Wa ya sani ko zai zama mai hikima ko kuma wawa? Duk da haka zai mallaki dukan aikin da na yi da ƙoƙarina da kuma dabarata a duniya. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
Saboda haka zuciyata ta fara karaya a kan dukan faman aikina a duniya.
21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Gama mutum zai yi aikinsa da dukan hikimarsa, da saninsa, da gwanintarsa, sa’an nan dole yă bar dukan abin da ya mallaka ga wani wanda bai yi wahalar kome a ciki ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, hasara ce mai yawa.
22 For what has man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he has laboured under the sun?
Me mutum zai samu daga aikin da ya yi duka, da irin ɗawainiyar da ya sha a kan yin aikin a duniya?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Dukan kwanakinsa aikinsa damuwa ce da ɓacin zuciya; ko da dare ma hankalinsa ba a kwance yake ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
Ba abin da mutum zai yi da ya fi yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa ransa daɗi daga aikinsa. Na lura cewa wannan ma, ya fito daga hannun Allah ne,
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
gama in ba tare da shi ba, wa zai iya ci yă sha yă kuma ji daɗi?
26 For God gives to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ga wanda ya gamshe shi, Allah yakan ba da hikima da sani da farin ciki, amma ga mai zunubi yakan ba shi aikin tarawa da ajiyar dukiya domin yă miƙa wa wanda ya gamshi Allah. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
