< Mai Hadishi 5 >

1 Ka lura da matakanka sa’ad da ka tafi gidan Allah. Ka je kusa don ka saurara a maimakon miƙa hadaya kamar wawaye, waɗanda ba su san sun yi laifi ba.
When you enter God’s temple, you should be sure to listen carefully. Doing that is better than offering sacrifices to God [and then not obeying him], which is foolish.
2 Kada ka yi subul da bakinka, kada zuciyarka tă yi garajen furta wani abu a gaban Allah. Allah yana sama kai kuma kana duniya, saboda haka, kada kalmominka su zama da yawa.
Think carefully before you speak [MTY] or before you promise God that you will do something [IDM]. [Do not forget that] God is in heaven [and he is all-powerful] and you are here on the earth, so think carefully before you [make any promises to God].
3 Kamar yadda son cika buri yakan zo sa’ad da kana da yawan damuwa, haka jawabin wawa yake sa’ad da yake yawan magana.
If you are continually thinking [and worrying] about things, you will have bad dreams about them and not rest [well]. And the more you talk, the more likely it will be that you will say things that are foolish.
4 Sa’ad da ka yi alkawari ga Allah, kada ka ɓata lokaci wajen cika shi. Ba ya jin daɗin wawaye; ka cika alkawarinka.
When you solemnly promise God that you will do something, do not be foolish by delaying in doing it, because God is not pleased with foolish people. Do [all] the things that you promise God that you will do.
5 Gara kada ka yi alkawari, da ka yi amma ba ka cika ba.
It is better to not promise [anything] than to promise to do something, and [then] not doing it.
6 Kada ka bar bakinka ya kai ga yin zunubi. Kada kuma ka kai ƙara wurin ɗan saƙon haikali cewa, “Alkawarin da na yi kuskure ne.” Me ya sa Allah yake fushi a kan abin da ka faɗa har yă lalatar da aikin hannuwanka?
Do not sin by promising to do something and then not doing it. And [when you promise God to do something and do not do it], do not say to God’s priest that it was a mistake for you to promise to do that. If you do that, God will certainly [RHQ] become very angry with you, and he will take from you everything that you [SYN] have worked to acquire.
7 Yawan buri da yawan magana ba su da amfani. Saboda haka, ka ji tsoron Allah.
Promising to do something and not doing it is like [SIM] a dream that has no value; instead, revere God [by doing what you promised him that you would do].
8 In ka ga ana zaluntar matalauta a wani yanki, ba a yin adalci, ana kuma tauye hakki, kada ka yi mamakin waɗannan abubuwa; domin akwai wani jami’in da yake bisa da wani, a bisansu biyu kuwa akwai wani.
Do not be surprised if you see poor [people] being (oppressed/treated cruelly) [by powerful/influential people], or if you see judges making unjust decisions throughout the land. [That happens] because the people who do that are supervised [and cheated by] more important officials [DOU],
9 Kowa yakan amfana da bunkasar amfanin ƙasa, sarki kansa yana samun riba daga gonaki.
and even the king forces the people to give him some of the crops that they harvest.
10 Duk mai ƙaunar kuɗi ba ya samun isashe; duk ma ƙaunar dukiya ba ya ƙoshi da abin da yake samu. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
Everyone who tries to [get as much] money as they can will never think that they have enough. They will never be satisfied with the money that they have. That also is senseless.
11 Kamar yadda kaya suke haɓaka, haka ma masu amfani da su. Kuma wane amfani ne suke ga mai shi in ba ciyar da idanunsa a kansu ba?
The more money that we have, the more people want us to spend our money to buy things for them. So people who have a lot of money do not [RHQ] benefit from it; they see [MTY] it when they get it, but it soon (disappears/is completely spent).
12 Barcin ma’aikaci daɗi gare shi, ko yă ci kaɗan ko da yawa, amma yalwar mai arziki ba ta barinsa yă iya yin barci.
Those who work hard sleep peacefully [at night], even if they do not have much food to eat. But rich [people] do not sleep well, because [they worry] about their money.
13 Na ga wani mugun abu a duniya, arzikin da aka ajiye don yă cuce mai shi,
I have seen [another] terrible thing that happens here on the earth [MTY]: People save [up all] their money and become rich, [but] they are not helped by saving a lot of money,
14 ko kuwa dukiyar da ta ɓace ta wata hasara, har ya zama sa’ad da ya haifi ɗa, babu abin da ya bar masa.
[because] something happens that causes their money to be gone, and when they die, there is no money for their children to get/inherit.
15 Tsirara mutum yakan fito daga cikin mahaifiyarsa, kuma kamar yadda ya fito, haka zai koma. Ba ya ɗaukan kome daga wahalarsa da zai riƙe a hannunsa.
When we are born, we do not bring anything with us, and when we die, we take nothing with us from all that we have earned by our working hard.
16 Wannan ma mugun abu ne, Yadda mutum ya zo, haka zai koma, to, wace riba ce ya ci, da yake ya yi wahalar iska ce kawai?
That also seems senseless. People bring nothing [into the world when they are born], and they leave [this world] taking nothing with them. They have worked hard, but they receive no lasting benefit [MET].
17 Duk rayuwarsa ya ci abinci a cikin duhu, da ɓacin rai mai tsanani, da azaba, da fushi.
[Furthermore, rich people] are always miserable [MET] and sad, and depressed/discouraged and often sick and (resentful/thinking that what has happened to them is unfair).
18 Sa’an nan na gane cewa abu mai kyau ne, daidai ne kuma mutum yă ci, yă sha, yă kuma ji daɗin aikin da ya yi a’yan kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi, gama wannan shi aka ƙaddara wa mutum daga faman wahalarsa a duniya a cikin’yan kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi a duniya, gama wannan shi ne rabonsa.
So, the best thing for people to do here on the earth during the few years that God allows them to be alive is to eat and drink and to enjoy their work, because those are the things that God has given to them.
19 Ban da haka ma, sa’ad da Allah ya ba wa mutum dukiya da wadata, ya kuma ba shi zarafi yă ji daɗinsu, ya kuma amince da rabonsa, sai yă ji daɗin aikinsa, wannan kyauta ce ta Allah.
If people are rich and have a lot of possessions, and are able to (enjoy/be happy with) the things that they have and to enjoy their work, those things are [also] gifts from God.
20 Da ƙyar yake tunani a kan kwanakin rayuwarsa, domin Allah ya yarje masa, yă zauna da farin ciki.
Those people do not worry much about [everything that has happened] during the time that they have been alive, because God enables them to be happy doing everything that they do.
