Mai Hadishi 4
1 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.
Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
2 Sai na furta cewa matattu, waɗanda suka riga suka mutu, sun fi waɗanda suke a raye farin ciki, waɗanda har yanzu suke da rai.
Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;
3 Amma wanda ya fi su duka shi ne wanda bai riga ya kasance ba, wanda bai ga muguntar da ake yi a duniya ba.
yea, better than them both [did I esteem] him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4 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.
Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
5 Wawa yakan kame hannuwansa yă kuma lalatar da kansa.
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6 Gara tafin hannu guda cike da kwanciyar rai da tafin hannu biyu cike da tashin hankali da harbin iska kawai.
Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.
7 Na kuma ga wani abu marar amfani a duniya.
Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
8 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!
There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
9 Biyu sun fi ɗaya, gama suna samun riba mai kyau na aikinsu.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 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!
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.
11 In mutum biyu sun kwanta tare, za su ji ɗumin juna. Amma yaya mutum ɗaya zai ji ɗumi yana shi kaɗai?
Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm [alone]?
12 Ana iya shan ƙarfin mutum ɗaya, mutum biyu za su iya kāre kansu. Igiya riɓi uku tana da wuya tsinkawa.
And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13 Gara saurayi wanda yake matalauci amma yake da hikima da sarkin da ya tsufa mai wauta, wanda ba ya karɓar shawara.
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.
14 Yana yiwuwa saurayin yă fito daga kurkuku yă hau gadon sarauta, ko kuma dai an haife shi cikin talauci a ƙasarsa.
For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor.
15 Na ga cewa dukan waɗanda suka rayu suka kuma yi tafiya a duniya sun bi saurayin, magājin sarkin.
I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.
16 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.
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
