Mai Hadishi 8
1 Wa yake kama da mai hikima? Wa ya san bayanin abubuwa? Hikima takan haskaka fuskar mutum, ta kuma kawo sakin fuska.
Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
2 Ka yi biyayya da umarnin sarki, na ce, saboda alkawarin da ka yi a gaban Allah.
I say, “Keep the king’s command!” because of the oath to God.
3 Kada ka yi hanzarin tashi daga gaban sarki. Kada ka kāre abin da ba daidai ba, gama zai iya yin duk abin da ya ga dama.
Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,
4 Da yake maganar sarki ita ce mafificiya, wa zai iya ce masa, “Me kake yi?”
for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
5 Duk wanda ya yi biyayya da umarninsa ba zai sami lahani ba, zuciya mai hikima kuma zai san lokacin da ya dace da kuma hanyoyin da suka fi.
Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.
6 Gama akwai lokaci da hanyoyin da suka dace da yin kowane abu, ko da yake wahalar mutum ta yi masa yawa.
For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.
7 Da yake ba wanda ya san nan gaba, wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru?
For he doesn’t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?
8 Ba wanda yake da iko a kan iska har da zai riƙe ta, saboda haka babu mai iko kan ranar mutuwarsa. Kamar yadda ba a sallamar mutum a lokacin yaƙi, haka ma mugunta ba za tă saki masu aikata ta ba.
There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.
9 Na ga dukan waɗannan, yayinda na lura da kowane abin da ake yi a duniya. Akwai lokacin da mutum yakan nauyaya wa waɗansu ba da sonsa ba.
All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.
10 Sa’an nan kuma, na ga an binne masu mugunta, waɗanda suke shiga da fita daga tsattsarkan wuri suke kuma samun yabo a birnin da suka yi wannan. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.
11 In ba a hanzarta aka yanke hukunci a kan laifi ba, zukatan mutane sukan cika da ƙulle-ƙullen aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12 Ko da yake mugu ya aikata laifi ɗari ya kuma yi tsawon rai, na san cewa zai fi wa masu tsoron Allah kyau, waɗanda suke girmama Allah.
Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
13 Duk da haka, domin masu mugunta ba su ji tsoron Allah ba, abubuwa ba za su yi musu kyau ba, ransu kamar inuwa yake ba zai yi tsawo ba.
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow, because he doesn’t fear God.
14 Akwai kuma wani abu marar amfani da yake faruwa a duniya, masu adalci sukan sha hukuncin da ya dace da masu mugunta, masu mugunta kuma sukan karɓi sakayyar da ya cancanci masu adalci su samu. Na ce, wannan ma, ba shi da amfani.
There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
15 Saboda haka abin da na ce, shi ne mutum yă ji daɗi, domin iyakar jin daɗinsa a wannan rai, shi ne yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa kansa daɗi. Aƙalla yana iya yin wannan in ya yi aiki a kwanakin da Allah ya ba shi a wannan duniya.
Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat, to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
16 Da na mai da hankalina don in sami hikima in kuma lura da wahalar mutum a duniya, ko da a ce idanunsa ba sa barci dare da rana,
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (even though eyes see no sleep day or night),
17 sam, ba zai taɓa fahimci abin da Allah yake yi ba. Iyakar ƙoƙarin da ka yi duk ba za ka iya ganewa ba. Masu hikima suna iya cewa sun sani, amma kuwa ba su sani ba.
then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.
