Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with happiness. So enjoy pleasure.” But look, this also was just a temporary breeze.
Na ce wa kaina, “Zo, zan gwada ka da jin daɗi don in ga abin da yake da kyau.” Amma wannan ma ya zama ba amfani.
2 I said about laughter, “It is crazy,” and about pleasure, “What use is it?”
Sai na ce, “Dariya hauka ce. Kuma me jin daɗi yake kawowa?”
3 I explored in my heart how to gratify my desires with wine. I let my mind guide me with wisdom although I was still holding on to folly. I wanted to find out what is good for people to do under heaven during the days of their lives.
Na yi ƙoƙari in sa raina yă yi farin ciki da ruwan inabi, in kuma rungumi wauta, hankalina kuma yana yin mini jagora da hikima. Na so in ga abin da yake da daraja ga mutane a duniya a’yan kwanakinsu.
4 I accomplished great things. I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.
Na yi ayyuka masu girma. Na gina gidaje wa kaina na kuma shuka gonakin inabi.
5 I built for myself gardens and parks; I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
Na yi lambuna da wuraren shaƙatawa, na shuka itatuwa masu’ya’ya iri-iri a cikinsu.
6 I created pools of water to water a forest where trees were grown.
Na yi tankuna don in yi banruwan kurmin itatuwa.
7 I purchased male slaves and female slaves; I had slaves born in my palace. I also had large herds and flocks of livestock, much more than any king who ruled before me in Jerusalem.
Na sayi bayi mata da maza, ina kuma da waɗansu bayin da aka haifa a gidana. Ina da garkunan shanu da na tumaki da na awaki fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa zama a Urushalima kafin ni.
8 I also accumulated for myself silver and gold, the treasures of kings and provinces. I got male and female singers for myself—the delights of the children of humanity—and many concubines.
Na tara wa kaina azurfa da zinariya, ina da ma’ajin sarakuna da yankuna. Na samo wa kaina mawaƙa mata da maza, da dukan irin matan da kowane namiji zai so.
9 So I became greater and wealthier than all who were before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom remained with me.
Na ƙasaita fiye da kowane mutumin da ya riga ni zama a Urushalima. Cikin dukan wannan, hikimata ba tă rabu da ni ba.
10 Whatever my eyes desired, I did not withhold from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, because my heart rejoiced in all my labor and pleasure was my reward for all my work.
Ban hana kaina duk wani abin da idona ya yi sha’awarsa ba; ban hana zuciyata wani jin daɗi ba. Zuciyata ta yi murna da dukan aikina, wannan kuwa shi ne ladan dukan famata.
11 Then I looked on all the deeds that my hands had accomplished, and on the work that I had done, but again, everything was vapor and an attempt to shepherd the wind. There was no profit under the sun in it.
Duk da haka sa’ad da na duba dukan aikin hannuwana, da abin da na yi fama don in samu, sai kome ya zama ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai; babu wata riba a duniya.
12 Then I turned to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. For what can the next king do who comes after the king, which has not already been done?
Sai na juya ga tunanina don in lura da hikima, da kuma hauka da wauta. Me ya rage wa magājin sarki yă yi fiye da abin da aka riga aka yi?
13 Then I began to understand that wisdom has advantages over folly, just as light is better than darkness.
Na ga cewa hikima ta fi wauta, kamar yadda haske ya fi duhu.
14 The wise man uses his eyes in his head to see where he is going, but the fool walks in darkness, although I know the same event happens to all of them.
Mai hikima ya san inda ya nufa, wawa kuwa yana tafiya a cikin duhu; amma sai na gane cewa ƙaddara ɗaya ce take samunsu.
15 Then I said in my heart, “What happens to the fool, will also happen to me. So what difference does it make if I am very wise?” I concluded in my heart, “This too is only vapor.”
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Ƙaddarar wawa za tă same ni ni ma. Wace riba ce hikimata za tă jawo mini?” Na ce a zuciyata, “Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.”
16 For the wise man, like the fool, is not remembered for very long. In the days to come everything will have been long forgotten. The wise man dies just like the fool dies.
Gama ba za a ƙara tunawa da mai hikima ko wawa ba; nan gaba za a manta da su. Yadda wawa zai mutu, haka ma mai hikima!
17 So I detested life because all the work done under the sun was evil to me. This was because everything is vapor and an attempt to shepherd the wind.
Don haka na ƙi jinin rayuwa, gama aikin da ake yi a duniya yana ɓata mini rai. Dukan abin da yake cikinta kuwa ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
18 I hated all my accomplishments for which I had worked under the sun because I must leave them behind to the man who comes after me.
Na ƙi jinin dukan abubuwan da na yi wahala ina yi a duniya, gama dole in bar su wa na bayana.
19 For who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will be master over everything under the sun that my work and wisdom have built. This also is vapor.
Wa ya sani ko zai zama mai hikima ko kuma wawa? Duk da haka zai mallaki dukan aikin da na yi da ƙoƙarina da kuma dabarata a duniya. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
20 Therefore my heart began to despair over all the work under the sun that I did.
Saboda haka zuciyata ta fara karaya a kan dukan faman aikina a duniya.
21 For there might be someone who works with wisdom, with knowledge, and skill, but he will leave everything he has to a man who has not made any of it. This also is vapor and a great tragedy.
Gama mutum zai yi aikinsa da dukan hikimarsa, da saninsa, da gwanintarsa, sa’an nan dole yă bar dukan abin da ya mallaka ga wani wanda bai yi wahalar kome a ciki ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, hasara ce mai yawa.
22 For what profit does the person gain who works so hard and tries in his heart to complete his labors under the sun?
Me mutum zai samu daga aikin da ya yi duka, da irin ɗawainiyar da ya sha a kan yin aikin a duniya?
23 Every day his work is painful and stressful, so at night his soul does not find rest. This also is vapor.
Dukan kwanakinsa aikinsa damuwa ce da ɓacin zuciya; ko da dare ma hankalinsa ba a kwance yake ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
24 There is nothing better for anyone than to simply eat and drink and be satisfied with what is good in his work. I saw that this truth comes from God's hand.
Ba abin da mutum zai yi da ya fi yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa ransa daɗi daga aikinsa. Na lura cewa wannan ma, ya fito daga hannun Allah ne,
25 For who can eat or who can have any kind of pleasure apart from God?
gama in ba tare da shi ba, wa zai iya ci yă sha yă kuma ji daɗi?
26 For to anyone who pleases him, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy. However, to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and storing up so that he may give it away to someone who pleases God. This also amounts to vapor and an attempt to shepherd the wind.
Ga wanda ya gamshe shi, Allah yakan ba da hikima da sani da farin ciki, amma ga mai zunubi yakan ba shi aikin tarawa da ajiyar dukiya domin yă miƙa wa wanda ya gamshi Allah. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
