< Mai Hadishi 3 >

1 Akwai lokaci domin kowane abu, da kuma lokaci domin kowane aiki a duniya.
For every thing there is a fixed period, and an appointed time to every thing under heaven: —
2 Lokacin haihuwa da lokacin mutuwa, lokacin shuki da lokacin tumɓukewa.
A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.
3 Lokacin kisa da lokacin warkarwa, lokacin rushewa da lokacin ginawa.
A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to breaking 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 cast stones asunder, and a time to gather stones together. A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
6 Lokacin nema, da lokacin fid da zuciya, lokacin ajiyewa da lokacin zubarwa.
A time to seek, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast 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 he who laboreth from that with which he wearieth himself?
10 Na ga nawayar da Allah ya ɗora a kan mutane.
I have seen the business which God hath given to the sons of men to exercise 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.
God maketh every thing good in its time; but he hath put the world into the heart of man, so that he understandeth not the work which God doeth, 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 better for a man than that he should rejoice and enjoy good his life long.
13 Cewa kowa yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗi cikin dukan aikinsa, wannan kyautar Allah ce.
But when a man eateth and drinketh, and enjoyeth good through all his labor, this is the 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 whatever God doeth, that shall be for ever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it; and God doeth it that men may fear before 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 is, was long ago; and that which is to be, hath already been; and God recalleth that which is past.
16 Sai na ga wani abu kuma a duniya, a wurin shari’a, akwai mugunta a can, a wurin adalci, akwai mugunta a can.
Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice there was iniquity; and in the place of righteousness, iniquity.
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.”
Then said I in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked.” For there shall be a time for every matter and for every work.
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 sons of men, that God will prove them, in order that they may see that they are like the 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: one lot befalleth both. As the one dieth, so dieth the other. Yea, there is one spirit in them, and a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast; for all is vanity.
20 Duka wuri ɗaya za su tafi; gama duka daga turɓaya suka fito, kuma ga turɓaya duka za su koma.
All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Wa ya tabbatar cewa ruhun mutum yakan tashi sama sa’an nan na dabba yă sauka ƙasa?”
Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of a beast, whether it goeth 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 I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his labors; for that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
