Karin Magana 30
1 Maganganun Agur ɗan Yake, magana ce horarriya. Wannan mutum ya furta wa Itiyel da kuma ga Ukal,
The words of Agur the son of Yakeh, even the prophecy: the man said unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ukkal,
2 “Ni ne mafi jahilci a cikin mutane; ba ni da fahimi irin na mutum.
“Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a common man.
3 Ban koyi hikima ba, ba ni kuma da sani game da Mai Tsarkin nan,
Nor have I learned wisdom, so that I should have knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Wane ne ya taɓa haura zuwa sama ya dawo? Wane ne ya tattara iska a tafin hannuwansa? Wane ne ya nannaɗe ruwaye a cikin rigarsa? Wane ne ya kafa dukan iyakokin duniya? Mene ne sunansa, da kuma sunan ɗansa? Faɗa mini in ka sani!
Who was it that ascended into heaven, and came down again? who gathered the wind in his fists? who bound the waters in a garment? who set up all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest it?”
5 “Kowace maganar Allah ba ta da kuskure; shi ne garkuwa ga waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga gare shi.
Every saying of God is purified: he is a shield unto those that put their trust in him.
6 Kada ka ƙara ga maganarsa, in ba haka ba zai tsawata maka ya kuma nuna kai maƙaryaci ne.
Do not add aught unto his words: lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 “Abu biyu ina roƙonka, ya Ubangiji; kada ka hana ni kafin in mutu.
Two things do I request of thee: deny them not to me before I die.
8 Ka kawar da ƙarya da kuma ƙarairayi nesa da ni; kada ka ba ni talauci ko arziki, amma ka ba ni abincina na yini kaɗai.
Vanity and lying words do thou remove far from me: neither poverty nor riches give thou unto me; let me eat the bread appointed unto me:
9 In ba haka ba, zan wadace in ƙi ka har in ce, ‘Wane ne Ubangiji?’ Ko kuwa in zama matalauci in yi sata ta haka in kunyata sunan Allahna.
Lest I become over-full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I become poor, and steal, and trespass against the name of my God.
10 “Kada ka baza ƙarairayi game da bawa ga maigidansa, in ba haka ba, zai la’ance ka, za ka kuwa sha wahala a kan haka.
Do not calumniate a servant unto his master: lest he curse thee, and thou incur guilt.
11 “Akwai waɗanda sukan zagi mahaifinsu ba sa kuma sa wa mahaifiyarsu albarka;
There is a generation that curseth its father, and doth not bless its mother.
12 waɗanda sukan ɗauka su tsarkaka ne a ganinsu alhali kuwa ƙazamai ne su;
There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not washed [clean] of its filthiness.
13 waɗanda kullum idanunsu masu kallon reni ne, waɗanda kallon da suke yi na daurin gira ne;
There is a generation—O how lofty are its eyes! and its eyelids are so lifted up.
14 waɗanda haƙoransu takuba ne waɗanda kuma muƙamuƙansu tarin wuƙaƙe ne don su cinye matalauta daga duniya da kuma mabukata daga cikin mutane.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and whose string teeth are as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 “Matsattsaku tana da’ya’ya mata biyu. Suna kuka suna cewa, ‘Ba ni! Ba ni!’ “Akwai abubuwa uku da ba sa taɓa ƙoshi, guda huɗu ba sa taɓa cewa, ‘Ya isa!’
Insatiability hath two daughters, [crying, ] Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things which never say, Enough:
16 Kabari, mahaifar da ba ta haihuwa, ƙasa, wadda ba ta taɓa ƙoshi da ruwa, da kuma wuta, wadda ba ta taɓa cewa ‘Ya isa!’ (Sheol h7585)
The nether world; and a barren womb; the earth which is not satisfied with water; and the fire which never saith, Enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 “Idon da yake yi wa mahaifi ba’a, wanda yake wa mahaifiya dariyar rashin biyayya, hankakin kwari za su ƙwaƙule masa ido, ungulai za su cinye su.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, this shall the ravens of the valley pick out; and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 “Akwai abubuwa uku da suke ba ni mamaki, abubuwa huɗu da ba na iya fahimtarsu,
Three things there are which are too wonderful for me; and four, which I know not:
19 yadda gaggafa take firiya a sararin sama, yadda maciji yake tafiya a kan dutse, yadda jirgin ruwa yake tafiya a teku, da kuma sha’ani tsakanin namiji da’ya mace.
The way of the eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
20 “Ga yadda mazinaciya take yi. Takan ci ta share bakinta ta ce, ‘Ban yi wani abu marar kyau ba.’
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wrong.
21 “Akwai abubuwa uku da duniya kan yi rawan jiki, abubuwa huɗu da ba ta iya jurewa,
Under three things the earth trembleth, and under four which she cannot bear:
22 bawan da ya zama sarki, wawan da ya ƙoshi da abinci,
Under a servant when he becometh king, and a worthless fool when he hath eaten enough bread;
23 macen da ba a ƙauna wadda ta sami miji, da kuma baiwar da ta ɗauki matsayin uwargijiyarta.
Under an odious woman when she is married, and a bond-woman when she dispossesseth her mistress.
24 “Akwai abubuwa huɗu a duniya da suke ƙanana, duk da haka suna da hikima ƙwarai.
There are four which are the little ones of the earth, and they are nevertheless exceedingly wise:
25 Kyashi halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka suna ajiyar abincinsu da rani;
The ants are a people not strong, therefore do they prepare in the summer their food;
26 remaye halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka sukan yi gidajensu a duwatsu;
The conies are but a feeble people, therefore do they place on the rocks their houses;
27 fāra ba su da sarki, duk da haka suna tafiya tare bisa ga girma;
The locusts have no king, and yet they go forth in troops altogether;
28 ana iya kama ƙadangare da hannu, duk da haka akan same shi a fadodin sarakuna.
The spider thou canst catch with [thy] hands, and yet she is in the palaces of a king.
29 “Akwai abubuwa uku da suke jan jiki da kuma taƙama a tafiyarsu abubuwa huɗu waɗanda suke kwarjini da taƙama a tafiyarsu,
Three there are that have a stately step, and four, that are stately in going:
30 zaki mai ƙarfi a cikin namun jeji, wanda ba ya ratse wa kowa;
The lion, the mightiest among beasts, who turneth not round from before any one;
31 zakara mai taƙama, da bunsuru, da kuma sarki mai sojoji kewaye da shi.
The light-legged greyhound, and the he-goat; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 “In ka yi wauta ka kuma ɗaukaka kanka, ko kuwa wani yana ƙulla maka mugunta, ka dāfa hannunka a bisa bakinka!
If thou hast become degraded by lifting up thyself, or if thou hast devised evil, put thy hand to thy mouth:
33 Gama kamar yadda kaɗaɗɗen madara takan kawo mai, murɗa hanci kuma takan sa a yi haɓo, haka tsokanar fushi takan kawo faɗa.”
For the pressure of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressure of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the pressure of wrath bringeth forth strife.
