Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is great on men:
Na ga wani mugun abu a duniya, ya kuma nawaita wa mutane ƙwarai.
2 [There is many] a man to whom God hath given riches, property, and honor, and nothing is wanting for his soul of all that he longeth for: yet God empowereth him not to eat thereof, but a stranger will consume it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Allah yakan ba mutum dukiya, da wadata da kuma girma, don kada yă rasa abin da ransa yake so, amma Allah bai ba shi zarafin more su ba, a maimakon haka ma sai baƙo ne yă more su. Wannan ba shi da amfani, mugun abu ne ƙwarai.
3 If a man were to beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years were many, and his soul were not satisfied with what is good, and he have not had even a burial: then do I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
Mutum zai iya kasance da’ya’ya ɗari, yă kuma yi shekaru masu yawa; duk da haka kome daɗewarsa, in bai more wadatarsa ba, bai kuma sami kyakkyawar binnewa ba, na ce, gara wanda aka haife shi gawa.
4 For in vanity it came, and in darkness it departeth, and with darkness will its name be covered.
Haihuwa ba tă amfane wanda aka haifa gawa ba, gama ya zo daga duhu ya koma duhu inda aka manta da shi.
5 Moreover it never saw the sun, and knew nothing: this hath more rest than the other.
Ko da yake bai ga hasken rana ba, bai kuma san kome ba, duk da haka ya dai huta, fiye da mutumin da bai more wa ransa ba,
6 Yea, though he were to live a thousand years twice told, and had not seen any good— doth not every one go to one place?
ko da ya yi shekara dubu biyu amma bai more wadatarsa ba. Ba wuri ɗaya dukansu biyu za su tafi ba?
7 All the toil of a man is for his mouth; and yet is his desire never filled.
Dukan ƙoƙarin da mutum yake yi, yana yi ne domin bakinsa, duk da haka bai taɓa gamsar da abin da yake marmari.
8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk [properly] before the living?
Da me mai hikima ya fi wawa? Wace riba ce matalauci yakan samu don yă iya zama da mutane?
9 Better is what one seeth with the eyes than the wandering of the desire. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.
Gara abin da ido ya gani da kwaɗayin da bai sami biyan bukata ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
10 That which hath been is already called by its name, and it is known that he is a man: and he is not able to contend with him that is mightier than he.
Duk abin da ya kasance, to, yana da suna, kuma duk abin da mutum yake, an riga an sani. Ba mutumin da zai iya ƙarawa da wanda ya fi shi ƙarfi.
11 For there are many things that increase vanity: what advantage [cometh thence] for man?
Yadda yawan magana take haka ƙarancin amfaninta, yaya wannan zai amfane wani?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, the number of the days of his vain life, that he should spend them as a shadow? for who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
Gama wa ya san abin da ya fi dacewa ga mutum a’yan kwanakinsa marasa amfani da sukan wuce kamar inuwa? Wa kuma zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru a duniya bayan ya rasu?
