Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who is a wise man? Who knows what the events in life mean? Wisdom in a man causes his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
Wa yake kama da mai hikima? Wa ya san bayanin abubuwa? Hikima takan haskaka fuskar mutum, ta kuma kawo sakin fuska.
2 I advise you to obey the king's command because of God's oath to protect him.
Ka yi biyayya da umarnin sarki, na ce, saboda alkawarin da ka yi a gaban Allah.
3 Do not hurry out of his presence, and do not stand in support of something wrong, for the king does whatever he desires.
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 The king's word rules, so who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
Da yake maganar sarki ita ce mafificiya, wa zai iya ce masa, “Me kake yi?”
5 Whoever keeps the king's commands avoids harm. A wise man's heart recognizes the proper course and time of action.
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 For every matter there is a correct response and a time to respond, because the troubles of man are great.
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 is coming next. Who can tell him what is coming?
Da yake ba wanda ya san nan gaba, wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru?
8 No one is ruler over his breath so as to stop the breath, and no one has power over the day of his death. No one is discharged from the army during a battle, and wickedness will not rescue those who are its slaves.
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 have realized all this; I have applied my heart to every kind of work that is done under the sun. There is a time when a person oppresses another person to that person's hurt.
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 So I saw the wicked buried publicly. They were taken from the holy area and buried and were praised by people in the city where they had done their wicked deeds. This also is uselessness.
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 When a sentence against an evil crime is not executed quickly, it entices the hearts of human beings to do evil.
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 Even though a sinner does evil a hundred times and still lives a long time, yet I know that it will be better for those who respect God, for those who stand before him and show him respect.
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 But it will not go well for a wicked man; his life will not be prolonged. His days are like a fleeting shadow because he does not honor God.
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 There is another useless vapor—something else that is done on the earth. Things happen to righteous people as they happen to wicked people, and things happen to wicked people as they happen to righteous people. I say that this also is useless vapor.
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 recommend happiness, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat and drink and to be happy. It is happiness that will accompany him in his labor for all the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
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 When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to understand the work that is done on the earth, work often done without sleep for the eyes at night or in the day,
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 considered all of God's deeds, and that man cannot understand the work that is done under the sun. No matter how much a man labors to find the answers, he will not find them. Even though a wise man might believe he knows, he really does not.
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.
