Mai Hadishi 10
1 Kamar yadda matattun ƙudaje sukan ɓata ƙanshin turare, haka’yar wauta takan ɓata hikima da daraja.
Dead flies cause to stinke, and putrifie the ointment of the apoticarie: so doeth a litle follie him that is in estimation for wisedome, and for glorie.
2 Zuciyar mai hikima takan karkata ga yin abin da yake daidai, amma zuciyar wawa takan karkata ga yin mugun abu.
The heart of a wise man is at his right hand: but the heart of a foole is at his left hand.
3 Ko yayinda yake tafiya a kan hanya wawa yakan nuna cewa ba shi da hankali, yakan nuna wa kowa wawancinsa.
And also when the foole goeth by the way, his heart faileth, and he telleth vnto all that he is a foole.
4 In hankalin mai mulki ya tashi game da kai, kada ka bar inda kake, gama kwantar da hankali yakan sa a yafe manyan laifofi.
If the spirite of him that ruleth, rise vp against thee, leaue not thy place: for gentlenes pacifieth great sinnes.
5 Akwai muguntar da na gani a duniya, irin kuskuren da yake fitowa daga masu mulki.
There is an euil that I haue seene vnder the sunne, as an errour that proceedeth from the face of him that ruleth.
6 Akan sa wawaye a manyan matsayi, yayinda masu arziki suna ƙarƙashi.
Follie is set in great excellencie, and the riche set in the lowe place.
7 Na taɓa ganin bayi a kan dawakai, yayinda’ya’yan sarki suna takawa a ƙasa kamar bayi.
I haue seene seruants on horses, and princes walking as seruants on the ground.
8 Duk wanda ya haƙa rami shi ne zai fāɗa a ciki; duk wanda ya rushe katanga, shi maciji zai sara.
He that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 Duk mai farfasa duwatsu shi za su yi wa rauni; duk mai faskaren itace yana cikin hatsarinsu.
He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby.
10 In gatari ya dakushe ba a kuma wasa shi ba, dole a yi amfani da ƙarfi da yawa, amma ƙwarewa yana kawo nasara.
If the yron be blunt, and one hath not whet the edge, he must then put to more strength: but the excellencie to direct a thing is wisedome.
11 In maciji ya sari mutum kafin a ba shi makarin gardi, ina amfanin maganin?
If the serpent bite, when he is not charmed: no better is a babbler.
12 Kalmomi daga bakin mai hikima alheri ne, amma maganganun wawa za su hallaka shi.
The words of ye mouth of a wise man haue grace: but the lippes of a foole deuoure himselfe.
13 Farkon maganarsa wauta ce, ƙarshenta kuma takan zama muguwar hauka,
The beginning of the wordes of his mouth is foolishnesse, and the latter ende of his mouth is wicked madnesse.
14 wawa kuma yakan yi ta surutu. Ba wanda ya san abin da zai zo wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru bayan rasuwarsa?
For the foole multiplieth woordes, saying, Man knoweth not what shall be: and who can tell him what shall be after him?
15 Aikin wawa yakan gajiyar da shi, har bai san hanyar zuwa gari ba.
The labour of the foolish doeth wearie him: for he knoweth not to goe into the citie.
16 Kaitonki, ya ke ƙasa wadda sarkinki bawa ne wadda kuma hakimanta ke ta shagali tun da safe.
Woe to thee, O lande, when thy King is a childe, and thy princes eate in the morning.
17 Mai albarka ce, ya ke ƙasa wadda sarkinki haifaffen gidan sarauta ne, wadda hakimanta suke samun abincinsu a daidai lokacin don samun ƙarfi ba don buguwa ba.
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy King is the sonne of nobles, and thy princes eate in time, for strength and not for drunkennesse.
18 In mutum rago ne, sai tsaiko yă lotsa, in hannuwansa ba masa yin kome, ɗaki yakan yi yoyo.
By slouthfulnes the roofe of the house goeth to decaie, and by the ydlenesse of the handes the house droppeth through.
19 Akan shirya abinci don jin daɗi, ruwan inabi kuwa don faranta zuciya, amma kuɗi ne amsar kome.
They prepare bread for laughter, and wine comforteth the liuing, but siluer answereth to all.
20 Kada ka zagi sarki ko da a cikin tunaninka ne, ko ka zagi mai arziki ko da a ɗakin kwananka ne, gama tsuntsun sararin sama zai iya ɗauki maganarka, tsuntsu mai fikafikai zai sanar da abin da ka ce.
Curse not the King, no not in thy thought, neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the foule of the heauen shall carie the voice, and that which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
