< Karin Magana 11 >
1 Ubangiji yana ƙyamar ma’aunan zamba, amma ma’aunin da suke daidai ne abin farin cikinsa.
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
2 Sa’ad da girman kai ya zo, sai shan kunya ta zo, amma hikima kan zo tare da ƙasƙantar da kai.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 Mutuncin masu aikata gaskiya takan bi da su, amma marasa aminci sukan hallaka ta wurin cin amanar da suke yi.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
4 Dukiya ba ta da amfani a ranar fushi, amma adalci kan yi ceto daga mutuwa.
Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 Adalcin marasa laifi kan miƙe hanyarsu, amma akan ƙasƙantar da mugaye ta wurin muguntarsu.
The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 Adalcin masu aikata gaskiya kan cece su, amma rashin aminci tarko ne ga mugayen sha’awace-sha’awace.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
7 Sa’ad da mugu ya mutu, sa zuciyarsa kan hallaka; dukan abin da ya sa zuciya daga ikonsa ba ya amfana kome.
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
8 Akan kuɓutar da mai adalci daga wahala, sai ta dawo wa mugu a maimako.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 Da bakinsa marar sanin Allah kan hallaka maƙwabcinsa, amma ta wurin sani mai adalci kan kuɓuta.
With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10 Sa’ad da adali ya yi nasara, birnin kan yi farin ciki; sa’ad da mugu ya hallaka, akwai sowa ta farin ciki.
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
11 Ta wurin albarkar mai aikata gaskiya birni kan ƙasaita, amma ta wurin bakin mugu akan hallaka birnin.
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 Mutum da ba shi da azanci kan ki maƙwabci, amma mutum mai fahimi kan ƙame harshensa.
He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
13 Gulma yakan lalace yarda, amma mutum mai aminci kan kiyaye asiri.
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14 Saboda rashin jagora al’umma takan fāɗi, amma masu ba da shawara da yawa kan tabbatar da nasara.
Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15 Duk wanda ya ɗauki lamunin wani tabbatacce zai sha wahala, amma duk wanda ya ƙi ya sa hannu a ɗaukar lamuni ba ruwansa.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
16 Mace mai hankali na samu bangirma, amma azzalumai za su sami dukiya.
A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
17 Mutumin kirki kan ribance kansa, amma mugu kan kawo wa kansa wahala.
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18 Mugun mutum kan sami albashin ƙarya amma shi da ya shuka adalci zai girbe lada tabbatacce.
The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
19 Mutum mai adalci da gaske yakan sami rai, amma shi da ya duƙufa ga aikata mugunta kan tarar da mutuwarsa.
Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20 Ubangiji yana ƙyamar mutane masu muguwar zuciya amma yana jin daɗin waɗanda hanyoyinsu ba su da laifi.
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21 Ka tabbata da wannan. Mugaye ba za su tafi babu hukunci ba, amma waɗanda suke masu adalci za su tafi babu hukunci.
My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22 Kamar zinariya a hancin alade haka kyan mace wadda ba ta da hankali.
As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
23 Sha’awar adalai kan ƙare kawai a aikata alheri, amma sa zuciyar mugaye kan ƙarasa kawai a fushi.
The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 Wani mutum kan bayar hannu sake, duk da haka yakan sami fiye; wani yakan riƙe abin da ba nasa ba, amma sai ya ƙarasa cikin talauci.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25 Mutum mai kyauta zai azurta; shi da yakan taimake waɗansu, za a taimake shi.
The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
26 Mutane kan la’anci mai ɓoye hatsi yana jira ya yi tsada, amma albarka kan zauna a kan wanda yake niyya ya sayar.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 Duk mai nema alheri kan sami alheri, amma mugu kan zo wa wanda yake nemansa.
He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
28 Duk wanda ya dogara ga arzikinsa zai fāɗi, amma adali zai yi nasara kamar koren ganye.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
29 Duk wanda ya kawo wahala wa iyalinsa zai gāji iska kawai, kuma wawa zai zama bawan masu hikima.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 ’Ya’yan itacen adali itacen rai ne, kuma duk mai samun rayuka mai hikima ne.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
31 In masu adalci sun sami abin da ya dace da su a duniya, yaya zai zama ga marasa sanin Allah da kuma masu zunubi!
Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
