Ecclesiastes 8
1 [I will tell you about] those who are truly wise [RHQ] with the result that they can explain why everything happens. Being wise enables people to be happy [MTY] and enables them to smile.
Wa yake kama da mai hikima? Wa ya san bayanin abubuwa? Hikima takan haskaka fuskar mutum, ta kuma kawo sakin fuska.
2 You solemnly promised God that you would obey what the king commands, so do that.
Ka yi biyayya da umarnin sarki, na ce, saboda alkawarin da ka yi a gaban Allah.
3 Do not quickly disobey the king. And do not join those who want to rebel against him, because the king will do what he wants to do.
Kada ka yi hanzarin tashi daga gaban sarki. Kada ka kāre abin da ba daidai ba, gama zai iya yin duk abin da ya ga dama.
4 We need to obey what the king says more than we need to obey what anyone else says; no one can say to the king, “(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]”
Da yake maganar sarki ita ce mafificiya, wa zai iya ce masa, “Me kake yi?”
5 If you obey what the king commands, he will not harm you. [So] be wise, and know the correct/right time to do things and the right way to do them.
Duk wanda ya yi biyayya da umarninsa ba zai sami lahani ba, zuciya mai hikima kuma zai san lokacin da ya dace da kuma hanyoyin da suka fi.
6 Although people experience many troubles/difficulties, there is a right/correct time to do things, and there is a right/correct way [to do them].
Gama akwai lokaci da hanyoyin da suka dace da yin kowane abu, ko da yake wahalar mutum ta yi masa yawa.
7 No one knows what will happen in the future, so there is no one [RHQ] who can tell us what is going to happen.
Da yake ba wanda ya san nan gaba, wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru?
8 We cannot control the wind, and we cannot control when we will die. Soldiers are not permitted to go home during a battle, and evil people will not be saved by [doing what is] evil.
Ba wanda yake da iko a kan iska har da zai riƙe ta, saboda haka babu mai iko kan ranar mutuwarsa. Kamar yadda ba a sallamar mutum a lokacin yaƙi, haka ma mugunta ba za tă saki masu aikata ta ba.
9 I thought about all those things, and I thought about all [HYP] the other things that happen on this earth. I saw that [sometimes] people cause those whom they control to suffer.
Na ga dukan waɗannan, yayinda na lura da kowane abin da ake yi a duniya. Akwai lokacin da mutum yakan nauyaya wa waɗansu ba da sonsa ba.
10 I also saw that [sometimes] after evil [people] die, they are highly honored at their funerals by the people in the cities where they had done [evil] deeds. It seemed to be difficult to understand why that happens.
Sa’an nan kuma, na ga an binne masu mugunta, waɗanda suke shiga da fita daga tsattsarkan wuri suke kuma samun yabo a birnin da suka yi wannan. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
11 If evil people are not immediately punished, it causes [other] people [SYN] to [also] want to do evil things.
In ba a hanzarta aka yanke hukunci a kan laifi ba, zukatan mutane sukan cika da ƙulle-ƙullen aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba.
12 But even if sinful people commit 100 crimes, and [even if they] live for a long time, I know that things will go better for those who greatly respect and revere God.
Ko da yake mugu ya aikata laifi ɗari ya kuma yi tsawon rai, na san cewa zai fi wa masu tsoron Allah kyau, waɗanda suke girmama Allah.
13 [I also know] that things will not go well go for those who are evil, because they do not revere God. Shadows [do not last a long time]. Similarly [SIM], evil people will not live a long time.
Duk da haka, domin masu mugunta ba su ji tsoron Allah ba, abubuwa ba za su yi musu kyau ba, ransu kamar inuwa yake ba zai yi tsawo ba.
14 Another thing that [sometimes] happens on this earth is that bad things happen to righteous people, and good things happen to evil people. It is difficult to understand why that happens.
Akwai kuma wani abu marar amfani da yake faruwa a duniya, masu adalci sukan sha hukuncin da ya dace da masu mugunta, masu mugunta kuma sukan karɓi sakayyar da ya cancanci masu adalci su samu. Na ce, wannan ma, ba shi da amfani.
15 [So] I decided that I would recommend that people be happy while they are alive, because the best thing that people can do here on this earth is to eat and drink and be happy. Enjoying doing those things will help people while they do their work, all the time that God has given to them to remain alive here on the earth.
Saboda haka abin da na ce, shi ne mutum yă ji daɗi, domin iyakar jin daɗinsa a wannan rai, shi ne yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa kansa daɗi. Aƙalla yana iya yin wannan in ya yi aiki a kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi a wannan duniya.
16 I thought about being wise and about people who work very hard, working day and night and not taking time to sleep.
Da na mai da hankalina don in sami hikima in kuma lura da wahalar mutum a duniya, ko da a ce idanunsa ba sa barci dare da rana,
17 Then I thought about everything [HYP] that God has done, and I realized that no one can understand everything that happens here on this earth. Truly, people are not able to fully understand everything [that God understands], even if they try hard to do that. Even if wise people claim that they understand it all, they cannot.
sam, ba zai taɓa fahimci abin da Allah yake yi ba. Iyakar ƙoƙarin da ka yi duk ba za ka iya ganewa ba. Masu hikima suna iya cewa sun sani, amma kuwa ba su sani ba.
