Zabura 49
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Na’ya’yan Kora maza. Zabura ce. Ku ji wannan, dukanku mutane; ku saurara, dukanku waɗanda suke zama a wannan duniya,
You people of all ethnic groups, listen! You people all over the world,
2 babba da yaro mai arziki da talaka.
important people and unimportant people, rich people and poor people, everyone, [listen to what I am saying],
3 Bakina zai yi maganar hikima; magana daga zuciyata za tă ba da ganewa.
[because] what I am thinking is very sensible, and what I say will enable you to become wise!
4 Zan juye kunnena ga karin magana; da garaya zan ƙarfafa kacici-kacicina.
I think about [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings), and while I play my harp, I explain what they mean.
5 Don me zan ji tsoro sa’ad da mugayen kwanaki suka zo, sa’ad da mugaye masu ruɗu suka kewaye ni,
I am not [RHQ] afraid when I am in trouble/danger, when I am surrounded by my enemies,
6 waɗanda suka dogara ga arzikinsu suna kuma fariya a kan yawan arzikinsu?
by evil men who trust that [things will always go well for them because] they are wealthy, and who boast about being very rich.
7 Ba wani da zai iya ceton ran wani ko yă ba wa Allah kuɗin fansa saboda shi,
[They may be rich], but no one can pay money with the result that he would live forever! No one can pay God enough so that God will allow him [to continue] to live,
8 kuɗin fansa domin rai yana da tsada, babu abin da za a biya da ya taɓa isa,
because that cost is too great, and he will never be able to pay enough
9 da zai sa yă ci gaba da rayuwa har abada yă hana shi shigan kabari yă ruɓa.
with the result that he will live forever and never [die and] be buried!
10 Gama kowa na iya ganin masu hikima na mutuwa; wawaye da marasa azanci su ma kan hallaka su bar wa waɗansu arzikinsu.
We see that foolish and stupid people die, but we see that wise people also die; they all leave their wealth, and others inherit it.
11 Kaburburansu za su ci gaba da zama gidajensu har abada, Can za su kasance har zamanai marasa ƙarewa, ko da yake sun ba wa filaye sunayen kansu.
Those wise people once had [houses on] land that they owned, [but now] their graves are their homes forever, the place where they will stay for all time!
12 Amma mutum, kome arzikinsa, ba ya dawwama; shi kamar dabbobi ne da suke mutuwa.
Even if people are great, that cannot prevent them from dying; all people die, the same as animals do.
13 Wannan ne ƙaddarar waɗanda suke dogara a kansu, da kuma ta mabiyansu, waɗanda suka tabbatar da faɗinsu. (Sela)
That is what happens to those who foolishly trust [in what they have accomplished], to those who are delighted in [all] that they possess.
14 Kamar tumaki an ƙaddara su ga kabari; za su kuwa zama abincin mutuwa amma masu gaskiya za su yi mulki a kansu da safe. Kamanninsu za su ruɓe a cikin kabari, nesa da gidajensu masu tsada. (Sheol h7585)
They are certain to die just like sheep, when a shepherd leads them away to be slaughtered. [PRS, MET] In the morning righteous people will rule over them, and then [those wealthy people will die and] their bodies will quickly decay in their graves; they will be where dead people are, far from their homes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Amma Allah zai ceci raina daga kabari; tabbatacce zai ɗauke ni zuwa wurinsa. (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
But it is certain that God will rescue me so that I am not kept in the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kada ka razana da yawa sa’ad da mutum ya yi arziki sa’ad da darajar gidansa ta ƙaru;
[So], do not be dismayed when someone becomes rich and the houses where they live become more and more luxurious,
17 gama ba zai ɗauki kome tare da shi sa’ad da ya mutu ba, darajarsa ba za tă gangara tare da shi ba.
because when he dies, he will take nothing with him; his wealth will not go with him.
18 Ko da yake yayinda yake a raye ya ɗauka kansa mai albarka ne, mutane kuma sun yabe ka sa’ad da kake cin nasara,
While [a rich person] is alive, he congratulates himself, and people praise him for being successful,
19 zai gamu da tsarar kakanninsa, waɗanda ba za su taɓa ganin hasken rayuwa ba.
but he will [die], joining his ancestors, who will never see daylight again.
20 Mutumin da yake da arziki ba tare da ganewa ba shi kamar dabbobi ne da suke mutuwa.
Even if someone is great, that cannot prevent him from dying; he will die, the same as animals do.
