Mai Hadishi 2
1 Na ce wa kaina, “Zo, zan gwada ka da jin daɗi don in ga abin da yake da kyau.” Amma wannan ma ya zama ba amfani.
I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove you with mirth, and behold you good: and, behold, this is also vanity.
2 Sai na ce, “Dariya hauka ce. Kuma me jin daɗi yake kawowa?”
I said to laughter, Madness: and to mirth, Why do you this:
3 Na yi ƙoƙari in sa raina yă yi farin ciki da ruwan inabi, in kuma rungumi wauta, hankalina kuma yana yin mini jagora da hikima. Na so in ga abin da yake da daraja ga mutane a duniya a’yan kwanakinsu.
And I examined whether my heart would excite my flesh as [with] wine, (though my heart guided [me] in wisdom, ) and [I desired] to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun all the days of their life.
4 Na yi ayyuka masu girma. Na gina gidaje wa kaina na kuma shuka gonakin inabi.
I enlarged my work; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards.
5 Na yi lambuna da wuraren shaƙatawa, na shuka itatuwa masu’ya’ya iri-iri a cikinsu.
I made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them every kind of fruit tree.
6 Na yi tankuna don in yi banruwan kurmin itatuwa.
I made me pools of water, to water from them the timber-bearing wood.
7 Na sayi bayi mata da maza, ina kuma da waɗansu bayin da aka haifa a gidana. Ina da garkunan shanu da na tumaki da na awaki fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa zama a Urushalima kafin ni.
I got servants and maidens, and servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
8 Na tara wa kaina azurfa da zinariya, ina da ma’ajin sarakuna da yankuna. Na samo wa kaina mawaƙa mata da maza, da dukan irin matan da kowane namiji zai so.
Moreover I collected for myself both silver and gold also, and the peculiar treasures of kings and provinces: I procured me singing men and singing women, and delights of the sons of men, a butler and female cupbearers.
9 Na ƙasaita fiye da kowane mutumin da ya riga ni zama a Urushalima. Cikin dukan wannan, hikimata ba tă rabu da ni ba.
So I became great, and advanced beyond all that were before in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established to me.
10 Ban hana kaina duk wani abin da idona ya yi sha’awarsa ba; ban hana zuciyata wani jin daɗi ba. Zuciyata ta yi murna da dukan aikina, wannan kuwa shi ne ladan dukan famata.
And whatever mine eyes desired, I withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my labour.
11 Duk da haka sa’ad da na duba dukan aikin hannuwana, da abin da na yi fama don in samu, sai kome ya zama ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai; babu wata riba a duniya.
And I looked on all my works which my hands had wrought, and on my labour which I laboured to perform: and behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun.
12 Sai na juya ga tunanina don in lura da hikima, da kuma hauka da wauta. Me ya rage wa magājin sarki yă yi fiye da abin da aka riga aka yi?
Then I looked on to see wisdom, and madness, and folly: for who is the man who will follow after counsel, in all things where in he employs it?
13 Na ga cewa hikima ta fi wauta, kamar yadda haske ya fi duhu.
And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness.
14 Mai hikima ya san inda ya nufa, wawa kuwa yana tafiya a cikin duhu; amma sai na gane cewa ƙaddara ɗaya ce take samunsu.
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all.
15 Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Ƙaddarar wawa za tă same ni ni ma. Wace riba ce hikimata za tă jawo mini?” Na ce a zuciyata, “Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.”
And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me: and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance.
16 Gama ba za a ƙara tunawa da mai hikima ko wawa ba; nan gaba za a manta da su. Yadda wawa zai mutu, haka ma mai hikima!
For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now [in] the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?
17 Don haka na ƙi jinin rayuwa, gama aikin da ake yi a duniya yana ɓata mini rai. Dukan abin da yake cikinta kuwa ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
So I hated life; because the work that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
18 Na ƙi jinin dukan abubuwan da na yi wahala ina yi a duniya, gama dole in bar su wa na bayana.
And I hated the whole of my labour which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.
19 Wa ya sani ko zai zama mai hikima ko kuma wawa? Duk da haka zai mallaki dukan aikin da na yi da ƙoƙarina da kuma dabarata a duniya. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
And who knows whether he will be a wise [man] or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labour in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity.
20 Saboda haka zuciyata ta fara karaya a kan dukan faman aikina a duniya.
so I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.
21 Gama mutum zai yi aikinsa da dukan hikimarsa, da saninsa, da gwanintarsa, sa’an nan dole yă bar dukan abin da ya mallaka ga wani wanda bai yi wahalar kome a ciki ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, hasara ce mai yawa.
For there is [such] a man that his labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; [yet] this man shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also vanity and great evil.
22 Me mutum zai samu daga aikin da ya yi duka, da irin ɗawainiyar da ya sha a kan yin aikin a duniya?
For it happens to a man in all his labour, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labours under the sun.
23 Dukan kwanakinsa aikinsa damuwa ce da ɓacin zuciya; ko da dare ma hankalinsa ba a kwance yake ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
For all his days [are days] of sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity.
24 Ba abin da mutum zai yi da ya fi yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa ransa daɗi daga aikinsa. Na lura cewa wannan ma, ya fito daga hannun Allah ne,
A man has nothing [really] good to eat, and to drink, and to show his soul [as] good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
25 gama in ba tare da shi ba, wa zai iya ci yă sha yă kuma ji daɗi?
For who shall eat, or who shall drink, without him?
26 Ga wanda ya gamshe shi, Allah yakan ba da hikima da sani da farin ciki, amma ga mai zunubi yakan ba shi aikin tarawa da ajiyar dukiya domin yă miƙa wa wanda ya gamshi Allah. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
For [God] has given to the man who is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but he has given to the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God; for this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
