Ecclesiastes 3
1 For, every thing, there is a season, —and a time for every pursuit, under the heavens: —
Akwai lokaci domin kowane abu, da kuma lokaci domin kowane aiki a duniya.
2 A time to be born, and a time to die, —A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted;
Lokacin haihuwa da lokacin mutuwa, lokacin shuki da lokacin tumɓukewa.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal, —A time to break down, and a time to build up;
Lokacin kisa da lokacin warkarwa, lokacin rushewa da lokacin ginawa.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh, —A time to wail, and a time to dance for joy;
Lokacin kuka da lokacin dariya, lokacin makoki da lokacin rawa.
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to heap up stones, —A time to embrace, and a time to be far from loving embrace;
Lokacin warwatsa duwatsu da lokacin tara su, lokacin runguma da lokacin dainawa.
6 A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost, —A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Lokacin nema, da lokacin fid da zuciya, lokacin ajiyewa da lokacin zubarwa.
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew, —A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
Lokacin yagewa da lokacin ɗinkewa, lokacin yin shiru da lokacin magana.
8 A time to love and a time to hate, —A time of war, and a time of peace.
Lokacin ƙauna da lokacin ƙiyayya, lokacin yaƙi da lokacin salama.
9 What profit hath he that worketh, in that wherein, himself, hath toiled?
Wace riba ce ma’aikaci yake da ita saboda wahalarsa?
10 I looked at the employment which God hath given to the sons of men, to work therein:
Na ga nawayar da Allah ya ɗora a kan mutane.
11 Everything, hath he made beautiful in its own time, —also, intelligence, hath he put in their heart, without which men could not find out the work which God hath wrought, from the beginning even unto the end.
Ya yi kowane abu da kyau a lokacinsa. Ya kuma sa matuƙa a zukatan mutane, duk da haka sun kāsa gane abin da Allah ya yi daga farko zuwa ƙarshe.
12 I know that there is no blessedness in them, —save to be glad, and to do well with one’s life.
Na san ba abin da ya fi wa mutane kyau fiye da su ji daɗi su kuma yi alheri yayinda suke da rai.
13 Though indeed, that any man should eat and drink, and see blessedness, in all his toil, it is, the gift of God.
Cewa kowa yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗi cikin dukan aikinsa, wannan kyautar Allah ce.
14 I know, that, whatsoever God doeth, the same, shall be age-abiding, unto it, there is nothing to add, and, from it, there is nothing to take away, —and, God, hath done it, that men should stand in awe before him.
Na san cewa duk abin da Allah ya yi zai dawwama har abada; ba abin da za a ƙara ko a rage. Allah ya yi haka domin mutane su girmama shi.
15 That which was, already, had been, and, that which shall be, already, shall have been, —but, God, seeketh that which hath been chased away.
Duk abin da yana nan ya taɓa kasancewa, kuma abin da zai kasance, ya taɓa kasancewa; Allah kuma zai nemi bayanin abubuwan da suka wuce.
16 Then, again, I saw under the sun, the place of justice, that there was lawlessness, and, the place of righteousness, that there was lawlessness.
Sai na ga wani abu kuma a duniya, a wurin shari’a, akwai mugunta a can, a wurin adalci, akwai mugunta a can.
17 Said, I, in my heart, Both the righteous and the lawless, will God judge, —for [there will be] a time for every pursuit, and concerning every work—there.
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Allah zai shari’anta masu adalci da masu mugunta, gama za a kasance da lokaci domin kowane aiki, lokaci domin kowane abu.”
18 Said, I, in my heart, as concerning the sons of men, That God was minded to prove them, —and that they might see, that they were beasts, of themselves.
Na sāke yin tunani, “Game da mutane kam, Allah kan gwada su don su san cewa ba su fi dabba ba.
19 For, as regardeth the destiny of the sons of men and the destiny of beasts, one fate, have they, as dieth the one, so, dieth the other, and, one spirit, have they all, —and, the pre-eminence of man over beast, is nothing, for, all, were vanity:
Ƙaddarar mutum ɗaya take da ta dabba; ƙaddara ɗaya ce take jiransu biyu. Yadda ɗayan yake mutuwa, haka ma ɗayan. Dukansu numfashinsu iri ɗaya ne; mutum bai fi dabba ba. Kowane abu ba shi da amfani.
20 all, go unto one place, —all, came from the dust, and all, return to the dust.
Duka wuri ɗaya za su tafi; gama duka daga turɓaya suka fito, kuma ga turɓaya duka za su koma.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of men, whether it, ascendeth, above, —or the spirit of the beast, whether it, descendeth, below, to the earth?
Wa ya tabbatar cewa ruhun mutum yakan tashi sama sa’an nan na dabba yă sauka ƙasa?”
22 So I saw, that there was nothing better than that a man should be glad in his works, for, that, is his portion, —for who can bring him in, to look upon that which shall be after him?
Saboda haka na ga babu abin da ya fi kyau wa mutum fiye da yă more wahalar aikinsa, domin wannan ne rabonsa. Gama wa zai kawo shi yă ga abin da zai faru a bayansa?
