Ecclesiastes 7
1 Better [is] a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth.
Suna mai kyau ya fi turare mai ƙanshi, kuma ranar mutuwa ta fi ranar haihuwa.
2 Better to go to a house of mourning, Than to go to a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living lays [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] sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becomes better.
Baƙin ciki ya fi dariya, gama baƙin ciki yakan kawo gyara.
4 The heart of the wise [is] in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.
Zuciyar masu hikima tana a gidan makoki, amma zuciya wawaye tana a gidan shagali.
5 Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than [for] a man to hear a song of fools,
Gara ka saurari tsawatawar mai hikima da ka saurari waƙar wawaye.
6 For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So [is] the laughter of a fool, even this [is] vanity.
Kamar ƙarar ƙayar da take karce gindin tukunya, haka dariyar wawaye take. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
7 Surely oppression makes the wise mad, And a gift destroys the heart.
Zalunci yakan mai da mutum mai hikima wawa, cin hanci kuma yakan lalace hali.
8 Better [is] the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.
Ƙarshen abu ya fi farkonsa, haƙuri kuma ya fi girman kai.
9 Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools rests.
Kada ranka yă yi saurin tashi, gama fushi yana zama a cinyar wawaye.
10 Do not say, “What was it, That the former days were better than these?” For you have not asked wisely of 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] good with an inheritance, And an advantage [it is] to those beholding the sun.
Hikima, kamar gādo, abu mai kyau ne tana kuma da amfani ga waɗanda suka ga rana.
12 For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defense, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She revives her possessors.
Hikima mafaka ce takan kāre mutum kamar yadda kuɗi suke yi. Kiyayewar da hikima takan yi wa mai ita ita ce amfanin ilimi.
13 See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked?
Ku lura da abin da Allah ya yi. Wa zai iya miƙe abin da ya tanƙware?
14 In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of calamity consider: God has also made this alongside of that, To the intent that man does not find anything after 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 The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrongdoer prolonging [himself] in his wrong.
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 Do not be over-righteous, nor show yourself too wise, why are you desolate?
Kada ka cika yin adalci, fiye da kima, kada kuma ka cika yin hikima, don me za ka hallaka kanka!
17 Do not do much wrong, neither be a fool, why do you die within your time?
Kada ka cika yin mugunta, kada kuma ka cika yin wauta, don me za ka mutu kafin lokacinka?
18 [It is] good that you lay hold on this, and also, do not withdraw your hand from that, for whoever is fearing God goes out with 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 The wisdom gives strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
Hikima takan sa mutum guda mai hikima yă yi ƙarfi fiye da masu mulki goma a cikin birni.
20 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that does good and does not sin.
Babu mai adalci a duniya wanda yake yin abin da yake daidai da bai taɓa yin zunubi ba.
21 Also to all the words that they speak do not give your heart, that you do not hear your servant reviling you.
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 many times also has your heart known that you yourself have also reviled others.
Gama kai kanka ka sani cewa sau da yawa ka zagi waɗansu.
23 All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, “I am wise,” and it [is] 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 off [is] that which has been, and deep, deep, who finds it?
Ko da me hikima take, Abin ya yi mana zurfi ƙwarai, yana da wuyar ganewa, wa zai iya gane shi?
25 I have turned around, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and the madness of foolishness.
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 am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good before God escapes from her, but the sinner is captured 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 See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason
Malami ya ce, “Duba, abin da na gane ke nan. “Na tara abu guda da wani, don in gane tsarin abubuwa,
28 (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found.
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 See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they have sought out many inventions.
Wannan ne kaɗai abin da na gane. Allah ya yi mutum tsab amma sai muka rikitar da kanmu.”
