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.
All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.
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.
Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.
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 evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that — to the dead.
4 Duk wanda yake da rai a wannan duniya ta rayayyu, yana sa zuciya, gara rayayyen kare da mataccen zaki!
For him who is joined to all the living there is hope; a living 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.
The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.
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 and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which 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.
Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.
8 Kullum ka kasance cikin farin riguna, ka kuma shafe kanka da mai kullum,
Let your clothing be white at all times, and let not your head be without oil.
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.
Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do 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 comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going. (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.
And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come 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.
Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.
13 Na kuma ga wani misali game da hikima a duniya wanda ya burge ni sosai.
This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed 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 little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about 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 there was in the town a poor, wise man, and he, by his wisdom, kept the town safe. But no one had any memory of that same poor man.
16 Sai na ce, “Hikima ta fi ƙarfe ƙarfi.” Amma aka rena hikimar matalaucin, ba a ma jin maganarsa.
Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength, but the poor man's wisdom is not respected, and his words are not given a hearing.
17 Raɗar mai hikima da aka saurara cikin natsuwa ta fi ihun mai mulkin wawaye.
The words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.
18 Hikima ta fi kayan yaƙi, amma mai zunubi ɗaya yakan rushe alheri mai yawa.
Wisdom is better than instruments of war, but one sinner is the destruction of much good.
