Karin Magana 25
1 Waɗannan ƙarin karin maganar Solomon ne waɗanda mutanen Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda suka tara.
These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed.
2 Ɗaukakar Allah ce a ɓoye batun; a bayyana batun kuwa ɗaukakar sarakuna ne.
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a thing.
3 Kamar yadda sammai suna can bisa duniya kuma tana da zurfi, haka zukatan sarakuna suka wuce a bincika.
The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Ka tace azurfa sai kayan su fito don maƙerin azurfa;
Take away the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:
5 ka cire mugaye daga gaban sarki, kursiyinsa kuwa zai kahu ta wurin adalci.
take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Kada ka ɗaukaka kanka a gaban sarki, kada kuma ka nemi wa kanka wuri a cikin manyan mutane;
Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of the great;
7 gara ya ce maka, “Ka hauro nan,” da a ƙasƙantar da kai a gaban wani mai makami. Abin da ka gani da idanunka
for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes see.
8 kada ka yi garaje kai ƙara a majalisa, gama me za ka yi a ƙarshe in maƙwabcinka ya ba ka kunya?
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 In kai da maƙwabcinka kuka yi gardama, kada ka tona asirin wani,
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but reveal not the secret of another;
10 in ba haka ba duk wanda ya ji zai kunyata ka ba za ka kuma taɓa rabuwa da wannan mummuna suna ba.
lest he that heareth [it] disgrace thee, and thine evil report turn not away.
11 Kalmar da aka faɗa daidai tana kamar zubin zinariyar da aka yi a mazubin azurfa.
[As] apples of gold in pictures of silver, is a word spoken in season.
12 Kamar’yan kunnen zinariya ko kuwa kayan ado na zinariya zalla haka yake da tsawatawar mai hikima ga kunne mai saurarawa.
An ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, is a wise reprover upon an attentive ear.
13 Kamar sanyin ƙanƙara a lokacin girbi haka ɗan saƙo mai aminci wanda aka aika; ya wartsakar da ran waɗanda suka aike shi.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, [so] is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Kamar gizagizai da kuma iska marar ruwan sama haka mutumin da yake fariya a kan kyautan da ba ya bayarwa.
Clouds and wind without rain, [so] is a man that boasteth himself of a false gift.
15 Ta wurin haƙuri akan rinjaye mai mulki, magana mai hankali kan karye ƙashi.
By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 In ka sami zuma, ka sha isashe kawai, in ya yi yawa, za ka yi amai.
Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be surfeited therewith, and vomit it.
17 Kada ka cika ziyarar gidan maƙwabcinka yawan ganinka zai sa ya ƙi ka.
Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee and hate thee.
18 Kamar sanda ko takobi ko kibiya mai tsini haka yake da mutumin da yake ba da shaidar ƙarya a kan maƙwabcinsa.
A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.
19 Kamar haƙori mai ciwo ko yin tafiya da gurguwar ƙafa haka yake ga mai dogara da marasa aminci a lokacin wahala.
A broken tooth, and a tottering foot, is confidence in an unfaithful [man] in the day of trouble.
20 Kamar wanda ya tuɓe riga a ranar da ake sanyi, ko kuwa kamar zuba ruwan tsami a kanwa, haka yake da mai rera waƙoƙi ga mai baƙin ciki.
[As] he that taketh off a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a sad heart.
21 In abokin gābanka yana jin yunwa, ka ba shi abinci ya ci; in yana jin ƙishi, ka ba shi ruwa ya sha.
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 Ta yin haka, za ka tara garwashin wuta mai ci a kansa, Ubangiji kuma zai sāka maka.
for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah shall reward thee.
23 Kamar yadda iskar arewa kan kawo ruwan sama, haka jita-jita kan kawo fushi.
The north wind bringeth forth rain, and the angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 Gara a zauna a kusurwar rufin ɗaki da a zauna a gida ɗaya da mace mai fitina.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.
25 Kamar ruwan sanyi ga ran da ya gaji haka yake da jin labari mai daɗi daga ƙasa mai nisa.
[As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 Kamar rafi mai laka ko rijiyar da ta gurɓace haka yake da mai adalci wanda ya miƙa wuya ga mugaye.
A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous [man] that giveth way before the wicked.
27 Ba shi da kyau ka sha zuma da yawa, haka ma ba shi da kyau ka nemi girma wa kanka.
It is not good to eat much honey; and to search into weighty matters is [itself] a weight.
28 Kamar birni da katangarsa sun rushe haka yake da mutumin da ba ya iya danne fushinsa.
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is [as] a city broken down, without walls.
