Mai Hadishi 9
1 Sai na yi tunani a kan wannan na kuma gane cewa masu adalci da masu hikima da kuma abubuwan da suke yi suna a hannun Allah ne, amma ba wanda ya san ko ƙauna ko ƙiyayya ce take jiransa.
So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.
2 Dukansu makomarsu ɗaya ce, masu adalci da masu mugunta, masu kirki da marasa kirki, masu tsabta da marasa tsabta, masu miƙa hadaya da waɗanda ba sa yi. Kamar yadda yake ga mutumin kirki, haka yake ga mai zunubi. Kamar yadda yake ga masu yin rantsuwa, haka ma da masu tsoron yi.
It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.
3 Wannan ita ce muguntar da take faruwa a cikin dukan abubuwa a duniya. Ƙaddara ɗaya ce take a kan kowa. Amma zukatan mutane cike suke da mugunta, akwai kuma hauka a zukatansu yayinda suke a raye, bayan haka kuma sai su mutu.
This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
4 Duk wanda yake da rai a wannan duniya ta rayayyu, yana sa zuciya, gara rayayyen kare da mataccen zaki!
There is hope, however, for anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
5 Gama rayayyu sun san za su mutu, amma matattu ba su san kome ba; ba su da wata lada nan gaba an manta da su ke nan gaba ɗaya.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Ƙaunarsu, ƙiyayyarsu, da kuma kishinsu tuni sun ɓace; ba za su taɓa zama sashen wani abin da yake faruwa a duniya ba.
Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.
7 Yi tafiyarka, ka ci abincinka da farin ciki, ka sha ruwan inabinka da farin zuciya, gama abin da ka yi duka daidai ne a wurin Allah.
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
8 Kullum ka kasance cikin farin riguna, ka kuma shafe kanka da mai kullum,
Let your garments always be white, and never spare the oil for your head.
9 Ka more rayuwa da matarka, wadda kake ƙauna, dukan kwanakin nan marasa amfani da Allah ya ba ka a duniya. Gama wannan ne rabonka a rayuwa da kuma na faman aikinka a duniya.
Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.
10 Duk abin da hannunka yake yi, ka yi shi da dukan ƙarfinka, gama a cikin kabari in da za ka, babu aiki ko shirye-shirye, ko sani, ko hikima. (Sheol h7585)
Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. (Sheol h7585)
11 Na kuma ga wani abu a duniya. Ba kullum maguji ne yake nasara a tsere ba, ba kullum jarumi ne yake yin nasara ba, ba kullum mai hikima ne da abinci ba ba kullum mai basira ne yake da wadata ba ba kullum gwani ne yake samun tagomashi ba; amma sa’a, da tsautsayi, sukan sami kowannensu.
I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.
12 Ban da haka ma, ba wanda ya san sa’ad da lokacin mutuwarsa zai yi. Kamar yadda akan kama kifi a muguwar raga, ko a kama tsuntsu a tarko, haka mugun lokaci yakan auko wa mutane, ba tsammani.
For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.
13 Na kuma ga wani misali game da hikima a duniya wanda ya burge ni sosai.
I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:
14 An yi wani ɗan ƙaramin birni mai mutane kaɗan a ciki. Sai wani babban sarki ya kawo masa yaƙi, ya kafa masa babban sansani.
There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
15 A cikin birnin nan kuwa akwai wani mutum matalauci amma mai hikima, ya kuma ceci birnin ta wurin hikimarsa. Amma ba wanda ya tuna da matalaucin nan.
Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
16 Sai na ce, “Hikima ta fi ƙarfe ƙarfi.” Amma aka rena hikimar matalaucin, ba a ma jin maganarsa.
And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
17 Raɗar mai hikima da aka saurara cikin natsuwa ta fi ihun mai mulkin wawaye.
The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
18 Hikima ta fi kayan yaƙi, amma mai zunubi ɗaya yakan rushe alheri mai yawa.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
