Ecclesiastes 4
1 And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors [is] power, and they have no comforter.
Na sāke dubawa sai na ga zaluncin da ake yi a duniya. Na ga hawayen waɗanda ake zalunta kuma ba su da mai taimako; masu iko suna goyon bayan masu zalunci, ga shi ba su da mai taimako.
2 And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.
Sai na furta cewa matattu, waɗanda suka riga suka mutu, sun fi waɗanda suke a raye farin ciki, waɗanda har yanzu suke da rai.
3 And better than both of them [is] he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun.
Amma wanda ya fi su duka shi ne wanda bai riga ya kasance ba, wanda bai ga muguntar da ake yi a duniya ba.
4 And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Sai na gane cewa, duk wata fama da duk wata nasara sun samo asali daga kishin da mutum yake yi na maƙwabcinsa ne. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
5 The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh:
Wawa yakan kame hannuwansa yă kuma lalatar da kansa.
6 'Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls [with] labour and vexation of spirit.'
Gara tafin hannu guda cike da kwanciyar rai da tafin hannu biyu cike da tashin hankali da harbin iska kawai.
7 And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:
Na kuma ga wani abu marar amfani a duniya.
8 There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.
Akwai wani mutum shi kaɗai; bai shi da ɗa ko ɗan’uwa. Ba shi da hutu daga wahalarsa, duk da haka bai ƙoshi da dukiyarsa ba. Ya tambayi kansa, “Ma wane ne nake wannan wahala, kuma me ya sa nake hana kaina jin daɗi?” Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, harkar baƙin cikin ne kawai!
9 The two [are] better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.
Biyu sun fi ɗaya, gama suna samun riba mai kyau na aikinsu.
10 For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but woe to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!
In ɗaya ya fāɗi, abokinsa zai taimake shi yă tashi. Amma abin tausayi ne ga mutumin da ya fāɗi ba shi kuma da wanda zai taimake shi yă tashi!
11 Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath one heat?
In mutum biyu sun kwanta tare, za su ji ɗumin juna. Amma yaya mutum ɗaya zai ji ɗumi yana shi kaɗai?
12 And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.
Ana iya shan ƙarfin mutum ɗaya, mutum biyu za su iya kāre kansu. Igiya riɓi uku tana da wuya tsinkawa.
13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who hath not known to be warned any more.
Gara saurayi wanda yake matalauci amma yake da hikima da sarkin da ya tsufa mai wauta, wanda ba ya karɓar shawara.
14 For from a house of prisoners he hath come out to reign, for even in his own kingdom he hath been poor.
Yana yiwuwa saurayin yă fito daga kurkuku yă hau gadon sarauta, ko kuma dai an haife shi cikin talauci a ƙasarsa.
15 I have seen all the living, who are walking under the sun, with the second youth who doth stand in his place;
Na ga cewa dukan waɗanda suka rayu suka kuma yi tafiya a duniya sun bi saurayin, magājin sarkin.
16 there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Babu ƙarshe ga dukan mutanen da suka riga su. Amma waɗanda suka zo daga baya, ba su gamsu da magājin ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
