Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better than precious oil, and the day of death, better than the day of one's birth.
Suna mai kyau ya fi turare mai ƙanshi, kuma ranar mutuwa ta fi ranar haihuwa.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; inasmuch as that is the end of all men: and let the living lay it to his heart.
Gara a tafi gidan makoki da a je gidan biki, gama mutuwa ce ƙaddarar kowane mutum; ya kamata masu rai su lura da haka.
3 Better is vexation than laughing; for through the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
Baƙin ciki ya fi dariya, gama baƙin ciki yakan kawo gyara.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of joy.
Zuciyar masu hikima tana a gidan makoki, amma zuciya wawaye tana a gidan shagali.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than that a man should hear the song of fools.
Gara ka saurari tsawatawar mai hikima da ka saurari waƙar wawaye.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. Also this is vanity.
Kamar ƙarar ƙayar da take karce gindin tukunya, haka dariyar wawaye take. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
7 For [exercising] oppression maketh a wise man mad; and bribery corrupteth the heart.
Zalunci yakan mai da mutum mai hikima wawa, cin hanci kuma yakan lalace hali.
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: better is the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit.
Ƙarshen abu ya fi farkonsa, haƙuri kuma ya fi girman kai.
9 Be not rash in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in bosom of fools.
Kada ranka yă yi saurin tashi, gama fushi yana zama a cinyar wawaye.
10 Thou must not say, How was it that the former days were better than these? for it is not out of wisdom that thou askest concerning this.
Kada ka ce, “Me ya sa kwanakin dā sun fi waɗannan?” Gama ba daidai ba ne a yi irin waɗannan tambayoyi.
11 Wisdom is better than an inheritance, yea, preferable for those that see the sun;
Hikima, kamar gādo, abu mai kyau ne tana kuma da amfani ga waɗanda suka ga rana.
12 For under the shadow of wisdom [a man is equally well as] under the shadow of money; but the superior excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to him that possesseth it.
Hikima mafaka ce takan kāre mutum kamar yadda kuɗi suke yi. Kiyayewar da hikima takan yi wa mai ita ita ce amfanin ilimi.
13 Consider [then] the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?
Ku lura da abin da Allah ya yi. Wa zai iya miƙe abin da ya tanƙware?
14 On the day of prosperity be happy, but on the day of adversity look on: also this hath God made in equal measure with the other, to the end that man should not find the least to censure him.
Sa’ad da al’amura suke tafiya daidai, ka yi farin ciki, amma sa’ad da suka lalace, ka tuna, Allah ne ya yi wancan shi ne kuma ya yi wannan. Saboda haka, mutum ba zai san wani abu game da nan gabansa ba.
15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is many a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is many a wicked man that liveth long in his wickedness.—
A cikin rayuwan nan ta rashin amfani nawa, na lura da waɗannan abubuwa biyu, mai adalci yana hallakawa cikin adalcinsa, mai mugunta kuma yana tsawon rai cikin muguntarsa.
16 Be not righteous over much; neither show thyself over wise: why wouldst thou destroy thyself?
Kada ka cika yin adalci, fiye da kima, kada kuma ka cika yin hikima, don me za ka hallaka kanka!
17 Be not wicked over much, and be no fool: why wouldst thou die before thy time?
Kada ka cika yin mugunta, kada kuma ka cika yin wauta, don me za ka mutu kafin lokacinka?
18 It is good that thou shouldst take hold of that, and that also from this thou withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God will come forth out of them all.
Yana da kyau ka kama ɗaya ba tare da ka saki wancan ba. Mai tsoron Allah zai guji wuce gona da iri.
19 Wisdom giveth more strength to the wise than ten rulers which were in the city.
Hikima takan sa mutum guda mai hikima yă yi ƙarfi fiye da masu mulki goma a cikin birni.
20 For no man is so righteous upon earth, that he should do always good, and never sin.—
Babu mai adalci a duniya wanda yake yin abin da yake daidai da bai taɓa yin zunubi ba.
21 Also take no heed unto all the words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.
Kada ka mai da hankali ga dukan abin da mutane suke faɗi, in ba haka ba wata rana za ka ji bayinka suna zaginka.
22 For oftentimes also doth thy own heart know that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.—
Gama kai kanka ka sani cewa sau da yawa ka zagi waɗansu.
23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
Dukan waɗannan na gwada su ta wurin hikima na kuma ce, “Na ƙudurta in zama mai hikima,” amma abin ya fi ƙarfina.
24 Far is what formerly was so, and what was deep remaineth deep: who can find it out?
Ko da me hikima take, Abin ya yi mana zurfi ƙwarai, yana da wuyar ganewa, wa zai iya gane shi?
25 Then I turned myself about together with my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and experience, and to know the wickedness of folly, and the foolishness of madness.
Saboda haka na mai da hankalina ga fahimi, don in bincika in nemi hikima da yadda aka tsara abubuwa, in kuma fahimci wawancin mugunta da haukar wauta.
26 And I find as more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds: he that is deemed good before God will escape from her; but the sinner will be caught by her.
Sai na iske wani abin da ya fi mutuwa ɗaci mace wadda take tarko ne, wadda zuciyarta tarko ne wadda kuma hannuwanta sarƙa ne. Mutumin da ya gamshi Allah zai tsere mata, amma za tă kama mai zunubi.
27 Behold, this have I found, saith Koheleth, [adding] one to the other, to find experience,
Malami ya ce, “Duba, abin da na gane ke nan. “Na tara abu guda da wani, don in gane tsarin abubuwa,
28 What my soul constantly sought, but I found it not; one man among a thousand did I find; but a woman among all these did I not find.
yayinda nake cikin nema amma ban samu ba, sai na sami adali guda cikin dubu, amma ba mace mai adalci guda a cikinsu duka.
29 Lo, this only did I find, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought for many [sinful] devices.
Wannan ne kaɗai abin da na gane. Allah ya yi mutum tsab amma sai muka rikitar da kanmu.”
