Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better than costly perfume, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.
Suna mai kyau ya fi turare mai ƙanshi, kuma ranar mutuwa ta fi ranar haihuwa.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to a house of feasting, for mourning comes to all people at the end of life, so living people must take this to 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 Grief is better than laughter, for after sadness of face comes gladness of heart.
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 feasting.
Zuciyar masu hikima tana a gidan makoki, amma zuciya wawaye tana a gidan shagali.
5 It is better to listen to the rebuke of the wise than to listen to the song of fools.
Gara ka saurari tsawatawar mai hikima da ka saurari waƙar wawaye.
6 For like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so also is the laughter of fools. This, too, is vapor.
Kamar ƙarar ƙayar da take karce gindin tukunya, haka dariyar wawaye take. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
7 Extortion certainly makes a wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Zalunci yakan mai da mutum mai hikima wawa, cin hanci kuma yakan lalace hali.
8 Better is the end of a matter than the beginning; and the people patient in spirit are better than the proud in spirit.
Ƙarshen abu ya fi farkonsa, haƙuri kuma ya fi girman kai.
9 Do not be quick to anger in your spirit, for anger resides in the hearts of fools.
Kada ranka yă yi saurin tashi, gama fushi yana zama a cinyar wawaye.
10 Do not say, “Why were the days of old better than these?” For it is not because of wisdom that you ask this question.
Kada ka ce, “Me ya sa kwanakin dā sun fi waɗannan?” Gama ba daidai ba ne a yi irin waɗannan tambayoyi.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good. It benefits those who see the sun.
Hikima, kamar gādo, abu mai kyau ne tana kuma da amfani ga waɗanda suka ga rana.
12 For wisdom provides protection as money can provide protection, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to whoever has 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 the deeds of God: Who can straighten out anything he has made crooked?
Ku lura da abin da Allah ya yi. Wa zai iya miƙe abin da ya tanƙware?
14 When times are good, live happily in that good, but when times are bad, consider this: God has allowed both to exist side by side. For this reason, no one will find out anything that is coming 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 I have seen many things in my meaningless days. There are righteous people who perish in spite of their righteousness, and there are wicked people who live a long life in spite of their evil.
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 self-righteous, wise in your own eyes. Why should you destroy yourself?
Kada ka cika yin adalci, fiye da kima, kada kuma ka cika yin hikima, don me za ka hallaka kanka!
17 Do not be too wicked or foolish. Why should you die before 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 should take hold of this wisdom, and that you should not let go of righteousness. For the person who fears God will meet all his obligations.
Yana da kyau ka kama ɗaya ba tare da ka saki wancan ba. Mai tsoron Allah zai guji wuce gona da iri.
19 Wisdom is powerful in the wise man, more than ten rulers in a city.
Hikima takan sa mutum guda mai hikima yă yi ƙarfi fiye da masu mulki goma a cikin birni.
20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Babu mai adalci a duniya wanda yake yin abin da yake daidai da bai taɓa yin zunubi ba.
21 Do not listen to every word that is spoken, because you might hear your servant curse 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 Similarly, you know yourself that in your own heart you have often cursed others.
Gama kai kanka ka sani cewa sau da yawa ka zagi waɗansu.
23 All this have I proven by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was more than I could be.
Dukan waɗannan na gwada su ta wurin hikima na kuma ce, “Na ƙudurta in zama mai hikima,” amma abin ya fi ƙarfina.
24 Wisdom is far off and very deep. Who can find it?
Ko da me hikima take, Abin ya yi mana zurfi ƙwarai, yana da wuyar ganewa, wa zai iya gane shi?
25 I turned my heart to learn and examine and seek wisdom and the explanations of reality, and to understand that evil is stupid and that folly is 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 I found that more bitter than death is any woman whose heart is full of snares and nets, and whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God will escape from her, but the sinner will be taken 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 “Consider what I have discovered,” says the Teacher. “I have been adding one discovery to another in order to find an explanation of reality.
Malami ya ce, “Duba, abin da na gane ke nan. “Na tara abu guda da wani, don in gane tsarin abubuwa,
28 This is what I am still looking for, but I have not found it. I did find one righteous man among a thousand, but a woman among all those I did 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 I have discovered only this: That God created humanity upright, but they have gone away looking for many difficulties.”
Wannan ne kaɗai abin da na gane. Allah ya yi mutum tsab amma sai muka rikitar da kanmu.”
