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.

For all this did I reflect over in my heart and to explain all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their services, are in the hand of God: that man knoweth neither love nor hatred; it is all [ordained] 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.

Every thing as it is to happen to all; there is but one occurrence for the righteous, and for the wicked; for the good and for the clean, and for the unclean; and for him that sacrificeth, and for him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth 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.

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one occurrence for all, and that also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and that madness is in their heart while they live, and after this 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 whoever is yet united with all the living hath still hope; for a living dog fareth 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 not the least; nor have they longer any reward; for their memory 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.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, are now already lost; and they will have never more a portion 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 with joy thy bread, and drink with a merry heart thy wine, if God have already received thy works in favor.

8 Kullum ka kasance cikin farin riguna, ka kuma shafe kanka da mai kullum,

At all times let thy garments be white, and let oil not be wanting on thy 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 the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, [yea, ] all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest 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 thy hand findeth to do with thy might, that do; for there is no work, nor experience, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the nether world, whither thou goest.— (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 turned about, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; and that also the wise have no bread, nor yet the men of understanding riches, nor yet men of knowledge favor; but time and fate will overtake 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 man also knoweth not his time, like the fishes that are caught in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in the snare: like these are the sons of men ensnared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly.

13 Na kuma ga wani misali game da hikima a duniya wanda ya burge ni sosai.

Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto 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 city, and the men therein were few; and there came against it a great king, who enclosed it, and built around it great works of siege;

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.

But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought 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 said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor man's wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.

17 Raɗar mai hikima da aka saurara cikin natsuwa ta fi ihun mai mulkin wawaye.

The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth 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 causes much good to be lost.
