Karin Magana 25
1 Waɗannan ƙarin karin maganar Solomon ne waɗanda mutanen Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda suka tara.
These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
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 matter.
3 Kamar yadda sammai suna can bisa duniya kuma tana da zurfi, haka zukatan sarakuna suka wuce a bincika.
The heaven 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;
Glorify not thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men;
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 is it 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 have seen.
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 revile thee, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 Kalmar da aka faɗa daidai tana kamar zubin zinariyar da aka yi a mazubin azurfa.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Kamar’yan kunnen zinariya ko kuwa kayan ado na zinariya zalla haka yake da tsawatawar mai hikima ga kunne mai saurarawa.
As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient 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 him that sendeth him; for he refresheth the soul of his master.
14 Kamar gizagizai da kuma iska marar ruwan sama haka mutumin da yake fariya a kan kyautan da ba ya bayarwa.
As vapours and wind without rain, so is he 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 filled 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 sated with 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.
As a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, so 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.
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
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 one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy 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 wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.
23 Kamar yadda iskar arewa kan kawo ruwan sama, haka jita-jita kan kawo fushi.
The north wind bringeth forth rain, and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
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 in a house in common with a contentious woman.
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 faint 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.
As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, so 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; so for men to search out their own glory is not glory.
28 Kamar birni da katangarsa sun rushe haka yake da mutumin da ba ya iya danne fushinsa.
Like a city broken down and without a wall, so is he whose spirit is without restraint.
