Karin Magana 9
1 Hikima ta gina gidanta; ta yi ginshiƙansa bakwai.
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 Ta shirya abincinta gauraye da ruwan inabinta; ta kuma shirya teburinta.
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 Ta aiki bayinta mata, tana kuma kira daga wurare masu tsayi na birnin.
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 “Bari dukan waɗanda suke marasa azanci su zo nan ciki!” Tana faɗa wa marasa hankali.
Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 “Ku zo, ku ci abincina da ruwan inabin da na gauraye.
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.
6 Ku bar hanyoyinku marasa hankali za ku kuwa rayu; yi tafiya a hanyar fahimi.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 “Duk wanda ya yi wa mai ba’a gyara yana gayyatar zagi duk wanda ya tsawata wa mugu yakan gamu da cin mutunci.
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.
8 Kada ka tsawata wa masu ba’a gama za su ƙi ka; ka tsawata wa mai hikima zai kuwa ƙaunace ka.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Ka koya wa mai hikima zai kuwa ƙara hikima; ka koya wa mai adalci zai kuwa ƙara koyonsa.
Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.
10 “Tsoron Ubangiji shi ne mafarin hikima, sanin Mai Tsarki kuwa fahimi ne.
The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.
11 Gama ta wurina kwanakinka za su yi yawa, za a kuwa ƙara wa ranka shekaru.
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 In kana da hikima, hikimarka za tă ba ka lada; in kai mai ba’a ne, kai kaɗai za ka sha wahala.”
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].
13 Wawancin mace a bayyane yake; ba ta da ɗa’a kuma ba ta da sani.
A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 Takan zauna a ƙofar gidanta, a wurin zama a wurin mafi tsayi na birni,
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 tana kira ga masu wucewa, waɗanda suke tafiya kai tsaye a hanyarsu.
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 “Bari dukan waɗanda suke marasa azanci su zo cikin nan!” Tana ce wa marasa hankali.
Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 “Ruwan da aka sata ya fi daɗi; abincin da aka ci a ɓoye ya fi daɗi!”
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant.
