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, son of Jakeh, [even] the oracle, —The utterance of the man, for Ithiel, for Ithiel and Ucal.
2 “Ni ne mafi jahilci a cikin mutane; ba ni da fahimi irin na mutum.
Surely, more brutish, am, I, than any man, nor doth, the understanding of a son of earth, pertain to me;
3 Ban koyi hikima ba, ba ni kuma da sani game da Mai Tsarkin nan,
Neither have I learned wisdom, nor, the knowledge of the Holy Ones, can I acquire.
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 hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?
5 “Kowace maganar Allah ba ta da kuskure; shi ne garkuwa ga waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga gare shi.
Every saying of God is refined, A shield, is, he, to them who seek refuge in him.
6 Kada ka ƙara ga maganarsa, in ba haka ba zai tsawata maka ya kuma nuna kai maƙaryaci ne.
Do not add unto his words, lest he convict thee, and thou be found false.
7 “Abu biyu ina roƙonka, ya Ubangiji; kada ka hana ni kafin in mutu.
Two things, have I asked of thee, withhold them not from me, ere yet 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 falsehood, remove far from me, Neither poverty nor riches, give me, Feed me with the food appointed 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 be full, and deny, and say—Who is Yahweh? or lest I be impoverished and steal, and do violence to 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 slander a servant to his master, lest he revile thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 “Akwai waɗanda sukan zagi mahaifinsu ba sa kuma sa wa mahaifiyarsu albarka;
A generation! Its father, it revileth, and, its mother, it doth not bless.
12 waɗanda sukan ɗauka su tsarkaka ne a ganinsu alhali kuwa ƙazamai ne su;
A generation! Pure in its own eyes, yet, from its filth, hath it not been bathed,
13 waɗanda kullum idanunsu masu kallon reni ne, waɗanda kallon da suke yi na daurin gira ne;
A generation! How lofty are its eyes, and its eyelashes uplifted.
14 waɗanda haƙoransu takuba ne waɗanda kuma muƙamuƙansu tarin wuƙaƙe ne don su cinye matalauta daga duniya da kuma mabukata daga cikin mutane.
A generation! Swords, are its teeth, and, knives, its incisors, —to devour the humbled out of 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!’
The vampire, hath two daughters, Give! Give! Three, there are will not be satisfied, four, have not said, 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)
Hades, and barrenness, —A land not satisfied with water, and fire, that saith not, 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 a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young of the eagle shall eat it.
18 “Akwai abubuwa uku da suke ba ni mamaki, abubuwa huɗu da ba na iya fahimtarsu,
Three, things there are, too difficult for me, yea, four, which I do not understand:
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 an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent on the rock, —the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
20 “Ga yadda mazinaciya take yi. Takan ci ta share bakinta ta ce, ‘Ban yi wani abu marar kyau ba.’
So, is the way of a woman committing adultery, —she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no iniquity!
21 “Akwai abubuwa uku da duniya kan yi rawan jiki, abubuwa huɗu da ba ta iya jurewa,
Under three things, a land is stirred, yea, under four, she cannot bear up:
22 bawan da ya zama sarki, wawan da ya ƙoshi da abinci,
Under a servant, when he reigneth, and a base man, when he is surfeited with food;
23 macen da ba a ƙauna wadda ta sami miji, da kuma baiwar da ta ɗauki matsayin uwargijiyarta.
Under a hateful woman, when she is married, and a handmaid when she driveth out her mistress.
24 “Akwai abubuwa huɗu a duniya da suke ƙanana, duk da haka suna da hikima ƙwarai.
Four, things there are, the small of the earth, —yet, they, are wiser than the wise:
25 Kyashi halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka suna ajiyar abincinsu da rani;
The ants, a people, not strong, —yet prepare they, in summer, their food;
26 remaye halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka sukan yi gidajensu a duwatsu;
The conies, a people of, no power, yet set they, among the crags, their house;
27 fāra ba su da sarki, duk da haka suna tafiya tare bisa ga girma;
King, is there none, to, the locusts, —yet go forth in swarms, do they all;
28 ana iya kama ƙadangare da hannu, duk da haka akan same shi a fadodin sarakuna.
The lizard, with hands, reneweth its hold, —yet, the same, is in the palaces of the king.
29 “Akwai abubuwa uku da suke jan jiki da kuma taƙama a tafiyarsu abubuwa huɗu waɗanda suke kwarjini da taƙama a tafiyarsu,
Three, things there are which step along well, ye, four, which excel in going:
30 zaki mai ƙarfi a cikin namun jeji, wanda ba ya ratse wa kowa;
The lion, hero among beasts, which turneth aside from the face of no one;
31 zakara mai taƙama, da bunsuru, da kuma sarki mai sojoji kewaye da shi.
The greyhound, or the he-goat, —and a king, having a band of soldiers with him.
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 acted basely by lifting thyself up, —if thou hast plotted 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.”
Surely, the pressing of milk, bringeth forth curd, and, the pressing of the nose, bringeth forth blood, and, the pressing of wrath, bringeth forth strife.
