Karin Magana 27
1 Kada ka yi fariya a kan gobe gama ba san abin da ranar za tă kawo ba.
Boast not of to-morrow; for you know not what the next day shall bring forth.
2 Ka bar wani ya yabe ka, ba kai kanka ba; wani dabam, ba leɓunanka ba.
Let your neighbour, and not your own mouth, praise you; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 Dutse yana da nauyi yashi kuma wahala ce, amma tsokanar wawa ta fi su duka nauyi.
A stone is heavy, and sand cumbersome; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both.
4 Fushi mugun abu ne mai hallakarwa, amma wa zai iya tsaya a gaban kishi?
Wrath is merciless, and anger sharp: but envy can bear nothing.
5 Gara tsawatawar da ake yi a fili da ƙaunar da ake yi a ɓoye.
Open reproofs are better than secret love.
6 Za a iya amince da rauni daga aboki, amma abokin gāba ko da ya sumbace ka kada ka sake da shi!
The wounds of a friend are more to be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.
7 Duk wanda ya ƙoshi da zuma, ba ya marmarinsa kuma amma wanda yake yunwa ko abin da yake da ɗaci ma zai ji shi da zaƙi.
A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
8 Kamar tsuntsun da ya ɓace daga sheƙarsa haka yake da mutumin da ya bar gidansa.
As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
9 Man shafawa mai ƙanshi da kuma turare kan faranta zuciya, gaisuwar amini kuma takan fito daga shawarar kirki.
The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
10 Kada ka manta da abokinka da kuma abokin mahaifinka, kuma kada ka tafi gidan ɗan’uwanka sa’ad da masifa ta same ka, gara ka je wurin maƙwabci na kusa da ka je wurin ɗan’uwan da yake da nisa.
Your own friend, and your father's friend, forsake not; and when you are in distress go not into your brother's house: better is a friend [that is] near than a brother living far off.
11 Ka zama mai hikima, ɗana, ka kuma faranta mini zuciya; zan iya amsa kowace irin suƙar da wani zai yi mini.
Son, be wise, that your heart may rejoice; and remove you from yourself reproachful words.
12 Mai basira kan hango hatsari ya kuma kauce, marar azanci zai yi ta kutsa kai ciki, daga baya ya yi da na sani.
A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished.
13 A karɓe rigunan wanda ya ɗauki lamunin baƙo; a riƙe shi jingina in ya yi shi don mace marar aminci.
Take away the man's garment, (for a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another's goods.
14 In mutum ya albarkaci maƙwabcinsa da murya mai ƙarfi da sassafe, za a ɗauka shi a matsayin la’ana.
Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses [him].
15 Mace mai fitina kamar ɗiɗɗigar ruwa take ba ƙaƙƙautawa;
On a stormy day drops [of rain] drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman [drive a man] out of his own house.
16 hana ta yana kamar yin ƙoƙari tsai da iska ne ko yin ƙoƙarin cafke mai a tafin hannunka.
The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious.
17 Kamar yadda ƙarfe kan wasa ƙarfe haka mutum kan koyi daga mutum.
Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
18 Duk wanda ya lura da itacen ɓaure, zai ci’ya’yansa, kuma duk wanda ya lura da maigidansa za a girmama shi.
He that plants a fig tree shall eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be honoured.
19 Kamar yadda ruwa kan nuna yadda fuska take, haka zuciyar mutum kan nuna irin mutumin.
As faces are not like [other] faces, so neither are the thoughts of men.
Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. [He that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.] (Sheol h7585)
21 Ana gwajin azurfa da kuma zinariya da wuta, amma akan gwada mutum ta wurin yabon da ya samu.
Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
22 Ko da ka daka wawa a turmi, kana daka shi kamar hatsi da taɓarya, ba za ka fid da wauta daga gare shi ba.
Though you scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, you will [still] in no wise remove his folly from him.
23 Ka tabbata ka san lafiyar garken tumakinka, ka mai da hankali ga garken shanunka;
Do you thoroughly know the number of your flock, and pay attention to your herds.
24 domin dukiya ba ta dawwama har abada, ba a kuma kasance da rawani daga tsara zuwa tsara.
For a man [has] not strength and power for ever; neither does he transmit it from generation to generation.
25 Sa’ad da aka yanki ingirci sabon toho kuma ya bayyana aka kuma tattara ciyawa daga tuddai,
Take care of the herbage in the field, and you shall cut grass, and gather the mountain hay;
26 gashin raguna za su tanada maka tufafi, za ka iya sayi gonaki masu kyau da kuɗin awaki.
that you may have [wool of] sheep for clothing: pay attention to the land, that you may have lambs.
27 Za ka kasance da madarar awaki mai yawa don ka ciyar da kanka da kuma iyalinka ka kuma inganta bayinka mata.
[My] son, you have from me words very useful for your life, and for the life of your servants.
