Karin Magana 6
1 Ɗana, in ka shirya tsaya wa maƙwabcinka don yă karɓi bashi, in ka sa hannunka don ɗaukar lamunin wani,
My son, if someone has borrowed money from a friend or a stranger, and if you have promised that you will pay the money back if that person is unable to pay back the money he borrowed,
2 in maganarka ta taɓa kama ka, ko kalmomin bakinka sun zama maka tarko,
you may be trapped by what you have agreed to do, [because if the one who borrowed the money is not able to pay it back, you will have to pay it]. What you have said that you will do will be like a snare to you.
3 to, sai ka yi haka, ɗana don ka’yantar da kanka; da yake ka shiga hannuwan maƙwabcinka, ka tafi ka ƙasƙantar da kanka; ka roƙi maƙwabcinka!
So, my son, I will tell you what you should do to escape from your difficulty, so that the moneylender does not get control over your [wealth: ] Humbly go to your friend and plead with him [to cancel the agreement]!
4 Ka hana kanka barci, ko gyangyaɗi a idanunka ma.
Do not wait until tomorrow; [go immediately]! Do not rest until you [go and talk with him].
5 Ka’yantar da kanka, kamar barewa daga hannun mai farauta, kamar tsuntsu daga tarkon mai kafa tarko.
Save yourself, like a deer that escapes from a deer hunter [or] like a bird that flees from a bird hunter.
6 Ku tafi wurin kyashi, ku ragwaye; ku lura da hanyoyinsa ku zama masu hikima!
You lazy individual, learn something from [watching] the ants. Become wise from observing what they do.
7 Ba shi da jagora ba shugaba ko mai mulki,
They do not have a king or a governor or any [other] person who rules them [and forces them to work],
8 duk da haka yakan yi tanade-tanadensa da rani ya kuma tattara abincinsa a lokacin girbi.
[but] they work hard [all] during the summer, gathering and storing food to eat during the winter.
9 Har yaushe za ku kwanta a can, ku ragwaye? Yaushe za ku farka daga barcinku?
[But], you lazy loafer, how long will you [continue to] sleep [RHQ]? Are you never going to get up from sleeping [and go to work]?
10 Ɗan barci, ɗan gyangyaɗi, ɗan naɗin hannuwa don a huta,
You sleep a for a little time; [you say, “I will take] just a short nap.” You lie down and fold/lay your hands [across your chest] and rest;
11 talauci kuwa zai zo kamar’yan hari rashi kuma kamar ɗan fashi.
and suddenly you will become poor. It will be as though a bandit suddenly comes and takes all that you have.
12 Sakare da mutumin banza wanda yana yawo da magana banza a baki,
[I will describe for you what] worthless and evil people [are like]. They constantly lie;
13 wanda yake ƙyifce da ido, yana yi alama da ƙafafunsa yana kuma nuni da yatsotsinsa,
by winking their eyes and moving their feet and making signs with their fingers, they signal [to their friends what they are intending/planning to do].
14 wanda yake ƙulla mugunta da ruɗu a cikin zuciyarsa, kullum yana tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye
They plan to do evil things. They constantly cause strife/trouble.
15 Saboda haka masifa za tă fāɗa farat ɗaya; za a hallaka shi nan da nan, ba makawa.
But disasters will hit them suddenly; they will be crushed/ruined and nothing will be able to heal them.
16 Akwai abubuwa shida da Ubangiji ya ƙi, abubuwa bakwai da suke abin ƙyama gare shi,
There are six, [maybe] seven, kinds of people that Yahweh hates. [They are]:
17 duban reni, harshe mai ƙarya, hannuwa masu zub da jinin marar laifi,
People who show by their eyes that they are very proud; people who lie [MTY]; people [SYN] who kill others [SYN] who have done nothing wrong;
18 zuciyar da take ƙulla mugayen dabaru, ƙafafun da suke sauri zuwa aikata mugunta,
people who plan to do evil deeds; people [SYN] who run quickly to do wrong things;
19 mai shaidar ƙarya wanda yake zuba ƙarairayi, da kuma mutumin da yake tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye a cikin’yan’uwa.
people who easily tell lies in court; and people who cause strife between family members.
20 Ɗana, ka kiyaye umarnan mahaifinka kada kuma ka ƙyale koyarwar mahaifiyarka.
My son, obey my commands, and do not ignore what your mother has taught you.
21 Ka ɗaura su a zuciyarka har abada; ka ɗaura su kewaye da wuyanka.
Remember the things that we have said. Those things should be [like a beautiful necklace] around your neck.
22 Sa’ad da kake tafiya, za su bishe ka; sa’ad da kake barci, za su lura da kai; sa’ad da ka farka, za su yi maka magana.
[If you follow our advice, it will be as though] what we have taught you [PRS] will lead you, wherever you go. When you sleep, they will protect you. And when you wake up in the morning, they will teach/instruct you.
23 Gama waɗannan umarnai fitila ne, wannan koyarwa haske ne, kuma gyare-gyaren horo hanyar rayuwa ce,
These commands and what we teach you [will be like] a lamp to light your path [MET]. When we rebuke you and correct/punish you, we will be showing you the road to having [a good] life.
24 suna kiyaye ka daga mace marar ɗa’a daga sulɓin harshen mace marar aminci.
Heeding [PRS] these commands and things that we have taught you will enable you to keep away from immoral women and from [listening to] the enticing words of an adulterous woman.
25 Kada ka yi sha’awarta a cikin zuciyarka kada ka bar ta tă ɗauki hankalinka da idanunta.
[Even] if such a woman is beautiful and has lovely eyes, do not desire to go with her. Do not let her persuade you to go with her (with her eyes/by the way she looks at you).
26 Gama karuwa takan mai da kai kamar burodin kyauta, mazinaciya kuma takan farauci ranka.
[Do not forget that] you can hire a prostitute for only a loaf of bread, but [if you sleep with] another man’s wife, (it may cost you/you may lose) your life.

[No]! And in the same way, anyone who (sleeps with/has sex with) another man’s wife will [suffer for doing that]. [He will certainly] [LIT] be punished severely.
30 Mutane ba sa ƙyale ɓarawo in ya yi sata don yă ƙosar da yunwarsa sa’ad da yake jin yunwa.
We do not despise a thief if he steals some food because he is very hungry.
31 Duk da haka in aka kama shi, dole yă biya sau bakwai ko da yake abin zai ci dukan arzikin gidansa.
But [if he steals something and then] is caught [by the police], he will have to pay back (seven times as much as/much more than) he stole. He may need to sell everything that is in his house [to get enough money to pay it back].
32 Amma mutumin da ya yi zina ba shi da hankali; duk wanda ya yi haka yana hallaka kansa ne.
[But] a man who commits adultery with some woman is very foolish, [because] he is destroying his own self/soul [by what he is doing].
33 Dūka da kunya ne za su zama rabonsa, kuma kunyarsa za tă dawwama.
[That woman’s husband] will wound him badly, and [other people] will despise him. His shame will never end.
34 Gama kishi kan tā da hasalar miji, kuma ba zai ji tausayi ba sa’ad da yake ramawa.
Because that woman’s husband will (be jealous/not want anyone else to sleep with her), he will become furious, and when he gets revenge, he will not act mercifully [toward the man who slept with his wife].
35 Ba zai karɓi duk wata biya ba; zai ƙi cin hanci, kome yawansu.
And he will not accept any bribe/money, even if it is a big bribe, to (appease him/cause him to stop being angry).
