Mai Hadishi 3
1 Akwai lokaci domin kowane abu, da kuma lokaci domin kowane aiki a duniya.
For every thing there is a season; and a [proper] time is for every pursuit under the heavens.
2 Lokacin haihuwa da lokacin mutuwa, lokacin shuki da lokacin tumɓukewa.
[There is] a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what hath been planted;
3 Lokacin kisa da lokacin warkarwa, lokacin rushewa da lokacin ginawa.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 Lokacin kuka da lokacin dariya, lokacin makoki da lokacin rawa.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 Lokacin warwatsa duwatsu da lokacin tara su, lokacin runguma da lokacin dainawa.
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather up stones; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing;
6 Lokacin nema, da lokacin fid da zuciya, lokacin ajiyewa da lokacin zubarwa.
A time to seek, and a time to let things be lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7 Lokacin yagewa da lokacin ɗinkewa, lokacin yin shiru da lokacin magana.
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 Lokacin ƙauna da lokacin ƙiyayya, lokacin yaƙi da lokacin salama.
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 Wace riba ce ma’aikaci yake da ita saboda wahalarsa?
What profit hath [now] he that worketh in that wherein he toileth?
10 Na ga nawayar da Allah ya ɗora a kan mutane.
I have seen the employment, which God hath given to the sons of men to busy themselves therewith.
11 Ya yi kowane abu da kyau a lokacinsa. Ya kuma sa matuƙa a zukatan mutane, duk da haka sun kāsa gane abin da Allah ya yi daga farko zuwa ƙarshe.
Every thing hath he made beautiful in its [proper] time: he hath also placed the eternity in their heart, without a man's being able to find out the work that God hath made from the beginning to the end.
12 Na san ba abin da ya fi wa mutane kyau fiye da su ji daɗi su kuma yi alheri yayinda suke da rai.
I know that there is nothing good [inherent] in them, but for every one to rejoice and to do what is good during [all] his life.
13 Cewa kowa yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗi cikin dukan aikinsa, wannan kyautar Allah ce.
For also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy what is good for all his toil, is likewise a gift of God.
14 Na san cewa duk abin da Allah ya yi zai dawwama har abada; ba abin da za a ƙara ko a rage. Allah ya yi haka domin mutane su girmama shi.
I know that whatsoever God doth, that will be for ever; to it nothing can be added, and from it there is nothing to be diminished: and God hath so made it, that men should be afraid of him.
15 Duk abin da yana nan ya taɓa kasancewa, kuma abin da zai kasance, ya taɓa kasancewa; Allah kuma zai nemi bayanin abubuwan da suka wuce.
That which hath been hath long since appeared [again]; and what is to be hath already been; and God seeketh [again] that which is sped away.
16 Sai na ga wani abu kuma a duniya, a wurin shari’a, akwai mugunta a can, a wurin adalci, akwai mugunta a can.
And moreover I have seen under the sun, [that in] the place of justice, even there was wickedness; and [that in] the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.
17 Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Allah zai shari’anta masu adalci da masu mugunta, gama za a kasance da lokaci domin kowane aiki, lokaci domin kowane abu.”
I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every pursuit; and on account of every deed there [will he judge].
18 Na sāke yin tunani, “Game da mutane kam, Allah kan gwada su don su san cewa ba su fi dabba ba.
I said in my heart concerning the speaking of the sons of men, that God might make it clear to them, and that they might see that they by themselves are but beasts.
19 Ƙaddarar mutum ɗaya take da ta dabba; ƙaddara ɗaya ce take jiransu biyu. Yadda ɗayan yake mutuwa, haka ma ɗayan. Dukansu numfashinsu iri ɗaya ne; mutum bai fi dabba ba. Kowane abu ba shi da amfani.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even the same thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one kind of spirit: so that the preeminence of man above the beast is nought; for all is vanity.
20 Duka wuri ɗaya za su tafi; gama duka daga turɓaya suka fito, kuma ga turɓaya duka za su koma.
Every thing goeth unto one place: every thing came from the dust, and every thing returneth to the dust.
21 Wa ya tabbatar cewa ruhun mutum yakan tashi sama sa’an nan na dabba yă sauka ƙasa?”
Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that ascendeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that descendeth downward to the earth?
22 Saboda haka na ga babu abin da ya fi kyau wa mutum fiye da yă more wahalar aikinsa, domin wannan ne rabonsa. Gama wa zai kawo shi yă ga abin da zai faru a bayansa?
And so did I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to look with pleasure on what will be after him?
