Ecclesiastes 9
1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them.
Sai na yi tunani a kan wannan na kuma gane cewa masu adalci da masu hikima da kuma abubuwan da suke yi suna a hannun Allah ne, amma ba wanda ya san ko ƙauna ko ƙiyayya ce take jiransa.
2 All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
Dukansu makomarsu ɗaya ce, masu adalci da masu mugunta, masu kirki da marasa kirki, masu tsabta da marasa tsabta, masu miƙa hadaya da waɗanda ba sa yi. Kamar yadda yake ga mutumin kirki, haka yake ga mai zunubi. Kamar yadda yake ga masu yin rantsuwa, haka ma da masu tsoron yi.
3 This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done under the sun, that [there is] one event to all: yes, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness [is] in their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.
Wannan ita ce muguntar da take faruwa a cikin dukan abubuwa a duniya. Ƙaddara ɗaya ce take a kan kowa. Amma zukatan mutane cike suke da mugunta, akwai kuma hauka a zukatansu yayinda suke a raye, bayan haka kuma sai su mutu.
4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Duk wanda yake da rai a wannan duniya ta rayayyu, yana sa zuciya, gara rayayyen kare da mataccen zaki!
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Gama rayayyu sun san za su mutu, amma matattu ba su san kome ba; ba su da wata lada nan gaba an manta da su ke nan gaba ɗaya.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, hath now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun.
Ƙaunarsu, ƙiyayyarsu, da kuma kishinsu tuni sun ɓace; ba za su taɓa zama sashen wani abin da yake faruwa a duniya ba.
7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
Yi tafiyarka, ka ci abincinka da farin ciki, ka sha ruwan inabinka da farin zuciya, gama abin da ka yi duka daidai ne a wurin Allah.
8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Kullum ka kasance cikin farin riguna, ka kuma shafe kanka da mai kullum,
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and in thy labor which thou takest under the sun.
Ka more rayuwa da matarka, wadda kake ƙauna, dukan kwanakin nan marasa amfani da Allah ya ba ka a duniya. Gama wannan ne rabonka a rayuwa da kuma na faman aikinka a duniya.
10 Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. (Sheol h7585)
Duk abin da hannunka yake yi, ka yi shi da dukan ƙarfinka, gama a cikin kabari in da za ka, babu aiki ko shirye-shirye, ko sani, ko hikima. (Sheol h7585)
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Na kuma ga wani abu a duniya. Ba kullum maguji ne yake nasara a tsere ba, ba kullum jarumi ne yake yin nasara ba, ba kullum mai hikima ne da abinci ba ba kullum mai basira ne yake da wadata ba ba kullum gwani ne yake samun tagomashi ba; amma sa’a, da tsautsayi, sukan sami kowannensu.
12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Ban da haka ma, ba wanda ya san sa’ad da lokacin mutuwarsa zai yi. Kamar yadda akan kama kifi a muguwar raga, ko a kama tsuntsu a tarko, haka mugun lokaci yakan auko wa mutane, ba tsammani.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it [seemed] to me great:
Na kuma ga wani misali game da hikima a duniya wanda ya burge ni sosai.
14 [There was] a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
An yi wani ɗan ƙaramin birni mai mutane kaɗan a ciki. Sai wani babban sarki ya kawo masa yaƙi, ya kafa masa babban sansani.
15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
A cikin birnin nan kuwa akwai wani mutum matalauci amma mai hikima, ya kuma ceci birnin ta wurin hikimarsa. Amma ba wanda ya tuna da matalaucin nan.
16 Then said I, wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard.
Sai na ce, “Hikima ta fi ƙarfe ƙarfi.” Amma aka rena hikimar matalaucin, ba a ma jin maganarsa.
17 The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Raɗar mai hikima da aka saurara cikin natsuwa ta fi ihun mai mulkin wawaye.
18 Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Hikima ta fi kayan yaƙi, amma mai zunubi ɗaya yakan rushe alheri mai yawa.
