Ecclesiastes 1
1 The wordis of Ecclesiastes, sone of Dauid, the kyng of Jerusalem.
Kalmomin Malami, ɗan Dawuda, Sarki a Urushalima.
2 The vanyte of vanytees, seide Ecclesiastes; the vanyte of vanytees, and alle thingis ben vanite.
“Ba amfani! Ba amfani!” In ji Malami. “Gaba ɗaya ba amfani! Kome ba shi da amfani!”
3 What hath a man more of alle his trauel, bi which he traueilith vndur the sunne?
Wace riba ce mutum yake samu daga wahalar da yake fama a duniya?
4 Generacioun passith awei, and generacioun cometh; but the erthe stondith with outen ende.
Zamanai sukan zo zamanai su wuce, amma duniya tana nan har abada.
5 The sunne risith, and goith doun, and turneth ayen to his place;
Rana takan fito rana ta kuma fāɗi, ta kuma gaggauta zuwa inda takan fito.
6 and there it risith ayen, and cumpassith bi the south, and turneth ayen to the north. The spirit cumpassynge alle thingis goith `in cumpas, and turneth ayen in to hise cerclis.
Iska takan hura zuwa kudu ta kuma juya zuwa arewa; tă yi ta kewayewa, tă yi ta koma inda take fitowa.
7 Alle floodis entren in to the see, and the see fletith not ouer the markis set of God; the floodis turnen ayen to the place fro whennus tho comen forth, that tho flowe eft.
Dukan rafuffuka sukan gangara zuwa teku, duk da haka teku ba ya cika. Daga inda rafuffukan suke fitowa, a can suke komawa kuma.
8 Alle thingis ben hard; a man may not declare tho thingis bi word; the iye is not fillid bi siyt, nether the eere is fillid bi hering.
Dukan abubuwa suna kawo gajiya, gaban magana. Ido ba ya gaji da gani, haka ma kunne yă ƙoshi da ji.
9 What is that thing that was, that that schal come? What is that thing that is maad, that that schal be maad?
Abin da ya taɓa kasancewa, zai sāke kasance, abin da aka yi za a sāke yi kuma; babu wani abu sabo a duniya.
10 No thing vndir the sunne is newe, nether ony man may seie, Lo! this thing is newe; for now it yede bifore in worldis, that weren bifore vs.
Akwai wani abin da za a ce, “Duba! Ga wani abu sabo”? Abin yana nan, tun dā can, ya kasance kafin lokacinmu.
11 Mynde of the formere thingis is not, but sotheli nether thenkyng of tho thingis, that schulen come afterward, schal be at hem that schulen come in the last tyme.
Ba a tunawa da mutanen dā, haka su ma da ba a haifa ba tukuna waɗanda za su biyo bayansu ba za a tuna da su ba.
12 I Ecclesiastes was king of Israel in Jerusalem;
Ni, Malami, sarki ne bisa Isra’ila a Urushalima.
13 and Y purposide in my soule to seke and enserche wiseli of alle thingis, that ben maad vndur the sunne. God yaf this werste ocupacioun to the sones of men, that thei schulden be ocupied therynne.
Na dauri aniyata in gwada don in bincika ta wurin hikima dukan abin da ake yi a duniya. Kaya mai nauyi ne Allah ya ɗora a kan mutane!
14 I siy alle thingis that ben maad vndur the sunne, and lo! alle thingis ben vanyte and turment of spirit.
Na ga dukan abubuwan da ake yi a duniya, dukansu ba su da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
15 Weiward men ben amendid of hard; and the noumbre of foolis is greet with outen ende.
Abin da yake tanƙwararre ba zai miƙu ba; ba za a kuma iya ƙidaya abin da ba shi ba.
16 I spak in myn herte, and Y seide, Lo! Y am made greet, and Y passide in wisdom alle men, that weren bifore me in Jerusalem; and my soule siy many thingis wiseli, and Y lernede.
Na yi tunani a raina na ce, “Duba, na yi girma, na kuma ƙaru da hikima fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa mulki a bisa Urushalima kafin ni; na ɗanɗana hikima mai yawa da kuma ilimi.”
17 And Y yaf myn herte, that Y schulde knowe prudence and doctryn, and errours and foli. And Y knew that in these thingis also was trauel and turment of spirit;
Sa’an nan na ɗaura aniyata ga fahimtar hikima, in kuma san bambanci tsakanin hauka da wauta, amma na koyi cewa wannan ma, naushin iska ne kawai.
18 for in myche wisdom is myche indignacioun, and he that encressith kunnyng, encreessith also trauel.
Gama yawan hikima yakan kawo yawan baƙin ciki; yawan sani, yawan ɓacin rai.
