Karin Magana 16
1 Ga mutum ne shirye-shiryen zuciya suke, amma daga Ubangiji ne amshin harshe kan zo.
All the works of the humble [man] are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.
2 Dukan hanyoyin mutum sukan yi kamar marar laifi ne gare shi, amma Ubangiji yakan auna manufofi.
3 Ka miƙa wa Ubangiji dukan abin da kake yi, shirye-shiryenka kuwa za su yi nasara.
4 Ubangiji yana yin kome domin amfaninsa, har ma da mugaye domin ranar masifa.
5 Ubangiji yana ƙyamar dukan zuciya mai girman kai. Ka tabbata da wannan. Ba za su kuɓuta daga hukunci ba.
Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless. The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace. All of the works of the Lord [are done] with righteousness; and the ungodly [man] is kept for the evil day.
6 Ta wurin ƙauna da aminci akan yi kafarar zunubi; ta wurin tsoron Ubangiji mutum kan guji mugunta.
7 Sa’ad da hanyoyin mutum sun gamshi Ubangiji, yakan sa abokan gāban mutumin ma su zauna lafiya da shi.
8 Gara ka sami kaɗan ta hanyar adalci da sami riba mai yawa ta hanyar rashin gaskiya.
9 ’Yan Adam sukan yi shirye-shiryensu a zukatansu, amma Ubangiji ne yake da ikon cika matakansa.
10 Leɓunan sarki kan yi magana kamar ta wurin ikon Allah, kuma bai kamata bakinsa ya yi kuskure a yanke shari’a ba.
[There is] an oracle upon the lips of a king; and his mouth shall not err in judgment.
11 Ma’aunai da magwajin gaskiya daga Ubangiji ne; dukan ma’aunai da suke cikin jaka yinsa ne.
The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; and his works are righteous measures.
12 Sarakuna suna ƙyamar abin da ba shi da kyau, gama an kafa kujerar sarauta ta wurin adalci ne.
An evil-doer is an abomination to a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
13 Sarakuna sukan ji daɗi leɓuna masu yin gaskiya; sukan darjanta mutumin da yake faɗin gaskiya.
Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; and he loves right words.
14 Fushin sarki ɗan saƙon mutuwa ne, amma mai hikima yakan faranta masa rai.
The anger of a king is a messenger of death; but a wise man will pacify him.
15 Sa’ad da fuskar sarki ta haska, yana nufin rai ke nan; tagomashinsa yana kamar girgijen ruwa a bazara.
The son of a king is in the light of life; and they that are in favour with him are as a cloud of latter rain.
16 Ya ma fi kyau ka sami hikima fiye da zinariya, ka zaɓi fahimi a maimakon azurfa!
The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, and the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
17 Buɗaɗɗiyar hanyar masu aikata gaskiya kan guje wa mugunta; duk wanda yake lura da hanyarsa yakan lura da ransa.
The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.
18 Girmankai yakan zo kafin hallaka, girman kai yakan zo kafin fāɗuwa.
Pride goes before destruction, and folly before a fall.
19 Gara ka zama ɗaya daga cikin matalauta masu sauƙinkai, da ka raba ganima da masu girman kai.
Better is a meek-spirited [man] with lowliness, than one who divides spoils with the proud.
20 Duk wanda ya mai da hankali ga umarni yakan yi nasara, kuma mai albarka ne wanda yake dogara ga Ubangiji.
[He who is] skillful in business finds good: but he that trusts in God is most blessed.
21 Akan ce da masu hikima a zuciya hazikai, kuma kalmomi masu daɗi kan inganta umarni.
[Men] call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.
22 Fahimi shi ne maɓulɓular rai ga waɗanda suke da shi, amma wauta kan kawo hukunci ga wawaye.
Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.
23 Zuciyar mai hikima kan bi da bakinsa, kuma leɓunansa kan inganta umarni.
The heart of the wise will discern the [things which proceed] from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.
24 Kalmomi masu daɗi suna kama da kakin zuma, mai zaƙi ga rai da kuma warkarwa ga ƙasusuwa.
Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.
25 Akwai hanyar da ta yi kamar daidai ga mutum, amma a ƙarshe takan kai ga mutuwa.
There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell. (questioned)
26 Marmarin cin abinci yakan yi wa ɗan ƙodago aiki; yunwarsa kan sa ya ci gaba.
A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from [him] his own ruin.
27 Mutumin banza yakan ƙulla mugunta, kuma jawabinsa yana kama da wuta mai ƙuna.
But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.
28 Fitinannen mutum yakan zuga tashin hankali, mai gulma kuma yakan raba abokai na kusa.
A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.
29 Mutum mai tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye yakan ruɗi maƙwabcinsa ya kai shi a hanyar da ba ta da kyau.
A transgressor tries [to ensnare] friends, and leads them in ways [that are] not good.
30 Duk wanda ya ƙyifce da idonsa yana ƙulla maƙarƙashiya ce; duk wanda ya murguɗa leɓunansa yana niyya aikata mugunta ke nan.
And the man that fixes his eyes devises perverse things, and marks out with his lips all evil: he is a furnace of wickedness.
31 Furfura rawani ne mai daraja; akan same ta ta wurin yin rayuwa ta adalci.
Old age is a crown of honour, but it is found in the ways of righteousness.
32 Gara ka zama mai haƙuri da ka zama jarumi, ya fi kyau ka iya mallakar kanka fiye da mallakar birane.
A man slow to anger is better than a strong [man]; and he that governs [his] temper better than he that takes a city.
33 Akan jefa ƙuri’a a kan cinya, amma kowace shawara mai kyau daga Ubangiji ne.
All [evils] come upon the ungodly into [their] bosoms; but all righteous things [come] of the Lord.
