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.
[I saw] that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yes, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, [though] all are before their face.
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.
Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.
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.
There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that [they go] to the dead.
4 Duk wanda yake da rai a wannan duniya ta rayayyu, yana sa zuciya, gara rayayyen kare da mataccen zaki!
for who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope [of him]: for 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.
For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is lost.
6 Ƙaunarsu, ƙiyayyarsu, da kuma kishinsu tuni sun ɓace; ba za su taɓa zama sashen wani abin da yake faruwa a duniya ba.
also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; yes, there is no portion for them any more for ever 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 mirth, and drink your wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted your works.
8 Kullum ka kasance cikin farin riguna, ka kuma shafe kanka da mai kullum,
Let your garments be always white; and let not oil be lacking on 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.
And see life with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which are given you under the sun: for that is your portion in your life, and in your labour wherein you labour 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)
Whatsoever your hand shall find to do, do with all your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither you go. (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 returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them 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 man also knows not his time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.
13 Na kuma ga wani misali game da hikima a duniya wanda ya burge ni sosai.
This I also saw [to be] wisdom under the sun, and it is great before 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.
[suppose there were] a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds 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.
and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember 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 power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nothing, and his words not listened to.
17 Raɗar mai hikima da aka saurara cikin natsuwa ta fi ihun mai mulkin wawaye.
The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.
18 Hikima ta fi kayan yaƙi, amma mai zunubi ɗaya yakan rushe alheri mai yawa.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war: and one sinner will destroy much good.
