Mai Hadishi 6

1 Na ga wani mugun abu a duniya, ya kuma nawaita wa mutane ƙwarai.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2 Allah yakan ba mutum dukiya, da wadata da kuma girma, don kada yă rasa abin da ransa yake so, amma Allah bai ba shi zarafin more su ba, a maimakon haka ma sai baƙo ne yă more su. Wannan ba shi da amfani, mugun abu ne ƙwarai.

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

3 Mutum zai iya kasance da’ya’ya ɗari, yă kuma yi shekaru masu yawa; duk da haka kome daɗewarsa, in bai more wadatarsa ba, bai kuma sami kyakkyawar binnewa ba, na ce, gara wanda aka haife shi gawa.

If a man begetteth an hundred children, and liveth many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also that he hath no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

4 Haihuwa ba tă amfane wanda aka haifa gawa ba, gama ya zo daga duhu ya koma duhu inda aka manta da shi.

For he cometh with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

5 Ko da yake bai ga hasken rana ba, bai kuma san kome ba, duk da haka ya dai huta, fiye da mutumin da bai more wa ransa ba,

Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

6 ko da ya yi shekara dubu biyu amma bai more wadatarsa ba. Ba wuri ɗaya dukansu biyu za su tafi ba?

Yea, though he liveth a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

7 Dukan ƙoƙarin da mutum yake yi, yana yi ne domin bakinsa, duk da haka bai taɓa gamsar da abin da yake marmari.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

8 Da me mai hikima ya fi wawa? Wace riba ce matalauci yakan samu don yă iya zama da mutane?

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

9 Gara abin da ido ya gani da kwaɗayin da bai sami biyan bukata ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

10 Duk abin da ya kasance, to, yana da suna, kuma duk abin da mutum yake, an riga an sani. Ba mutumin da zai iya ƙarawa da wanda ya fi shi ƙarfi.

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

11 Yadda yawan magana take haka ƙarancin amfaninta, yaya wannan zai amfane wani?

Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

12 Gama wa ya san abin da ya fi dacewa ga mutum a’yan kwanakinsa marasa amfani da sukan wuce kamar inuwa? Wa kuma zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru a duniya bayan ya rasu?

For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
