< Karin Magana 30 >
1 Maganganun Agur ɗan Yake, magana ce horarriya. Wannan mutum ya furta wa Itiyel da kuma ga Ukal,
Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: — I have wearied myself [for] God, I have wearied myself [for] God, and am consumed.
2 “Ni ne mafi jahilci a cikin mutane; ba ni da fahimi irin na mutum.
For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.
3 Ban koyi hikima ba, ba ni kuma da sani game da Mai Tsarkin nan,
Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.
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 went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What [is] His name? and what His son's name? Surely 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] tried, A shield He [is] to those trusting in Him.
6 Kada ka ƙara ga maganarsa, in ba haka ba zai tsawata maka ya kuma nuna kai maƙaryaci ne.
Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.
7 “Abu biyu ina roƙonka, ya Ubangiji; kada ka hana ni kafin in mutu.
Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from 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 a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,
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 satiated, and have denied, And have said, 'Who [is] Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of 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.
Accuse not a servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 “Akwai waɗanda sukan zagi mahaifinsu ba sa kuma sa wa mahaifiyarsu albarka;
A generation [is], that lightly esteemeth their father, And their mother doth not bless.
12 waɗanda sukan ɗauka su tsarkaka ne a ganinsu alhali kuwa ƙazamai ne su;
A generation — pure in their own eyes, But from their own filth not washed.
13 waɗanda kullum idanunsu masu kallon reni ne, waɗanda kallon da suke yi na daurin gira ne;
A generation — how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are 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.
A generation — swords [are] their teeth, And knives — their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from 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!’
To the leech [are] two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;'
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 )
Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth — it [is] not satisfied [with] water, And fire — it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,' (Sheol )
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.
An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.
18 “Akwai abubuwa uku da suke ba ni mamaki, abubuwa huɗu da ba na iya fahimtarsu,
Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known:
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 heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.
20 “Ga yadda mazinaciya take yi. Takan ci ta share bakinta ta ce, ‘Ban yi wani abu marar kyau ba.’
So — the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.'
21 “Akwai abubuwa uku da duniya kan yi rawan jiki, abubuwa huɗu da ba ta iya jurewa,
For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four — it is not able to bear:
22 bawan da ya zama sarki, wawan da ya ƙoshi da abinci,
For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
23 macen da ba a ƙauna wadda ta sami miji, da kuma baiwar da ta ɗauki matsayin uwargijiyarta.
For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.
24 “Akwai abubuwa huɗu a duniya da suke ƙanana, duk da haka suna da hikima ƙwarai.
Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the 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, And they prepare in summer their food,
26 remaye halittu ne da ba su da ƙarfi sosai, duk da haka sukan yi gidajensu a duwatsu;
Conies [are] a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house,
27 fāra ba su da sarki, duk da haka suna tafiya tare bisa ga girma;
A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out — each one shouting,
28 ana iya kama ƙadangare da hannu, duk da haka akan same shi a fadodin sarakuna.
A spider with two hands taketh hold, And 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 going well, Yea, four are good in going:
30 zaki mai ƙarfi a cikin namun jeji, wanda ba ya ratse wa kowa;
An old lion — mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,
31 zakara mai taƙama, da bunsuru, da kuma sarki mai sojoji kewaye da shi.
A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king — no rising up 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 been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil — hand to 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 churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
