Ecclesiastes 10
1 Dying flies ruin the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a brief and limited foolishness.
Kamar yadda matattun ƙudaje sukan ɓata ƙanshin turare, haka’yar wauta takan ɓata hikima da daraja.
2 The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a foolish man is in his left hand.
Zuciyar mai hikima takan karkata ga yin abin da yake daidai, amma zuciyar wawa takan karkata ga yin mugun abu.
3 Moreover, as a foolish man is walking along the way, even though he himself is unwise, he considers everyone to be foolish.
Ko yayinda yake tafiya a kan hanya wawa yakan nuna cewa ba shi da hankali, yakan nuna wa kowa wawancinsa.
4 If the spirit of one who holds authority rises over you, do not leave your place, because attentiveness will cause the greatest sins to cease.
In hankalin mai mulki ya tashi game da kai, kada ka bar inda kake, gama kwantar da hankali yakan sa a yafe manyan laifofi.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, proceeding from the presence of a prince, as if by mistake:
Akwai muguntar da na gani a duniya, irin kuskuren da yake fitowa daga masu mulki.
6 a foolish man appointed to a high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath him.
Akan sa wawaye a manyan matsayi, yayinda masu arziki suna ƙarƙashi.
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking on the ground like servants.
Na taɓa ganin bayi a kan dawakai, yayinda’ya’yan sarki suna takawa a ƙasa kamar bayi.
8 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And whoever tears apart a hedge, a snake will bite him.
Duk wanda ya haƙa rami shi ne zai fāɗa a ciki; duk wanda ya rushe katanga, shi maciji zai sara.
9 Whoever carries away stones will be harmed by them. And whoever cuts down trees will be wounded by them.
Duk mai farfasa duwatsu shi za su yi wa rauni; duk mai faskaren itace yana cikin hatsarinsu.
10 If the iron is dull, and if it was not that way before, but has been made dull by much labor, then it will be sharpened. And wisdom will follow after diligence.
In gatari ya dakushe ba a kuma wasa shi ba, dole a yi amfani da ƙarfi da yawa, amma ƙwarewa yana kawo nasara.
11 Whoever slanders in secret is nothing less than a snake that bites silently.
In maciji ya sari mutum kafin a ba shi makarin gardi, ina amfanin maganin?
12 Words from the mouth of a wise man are graceful, but the lips of a foolish man will throw him down with violence.
Kalmomi daga bakin mai hikima alheri ne, amma maganganun wawa za su hallaka shi.
13 At the beginning of his words is foolishness, and at the end of his talk is a most grievous error.
Farkon maganarsa wauta ce, ƙarshenta kuma takan zama muguwar hauka,
14 The fool multiplies his words. A man does not know what has been before him, and who is able to reveal to him what will be in the future after him?
wawa kuma yakan yi ta surutu. Ba wanda ya san abin da zai zo wa zai iya faɗa masa abin da zai faru bayan rasuwarsa?
15 The hardship of the foolish will afflict those who do not know to go into the city.
Aikin wawa yakan gajiyar da shi, har bai san hanyar zuwa gari ba.
16 Woe to you, the land whose king is a boy, and whose princes consume in the morning.
Kaitonki, ya ke ƙasa wadda sarkinki bawa ne wadda kuma hakimanta ke ta shagali tun da safe.
17 Blessed is the land whose king is noble, and whose princes eat at the proper time, for refreshment and not for self-indulgence.
Mai albarka ce, ya ke ƙasa wadda sarkinki haifaffen gidan sarauta ne, wadda hakimanta suke samun abincinsu a daidai lokacin don samun ƙarfi ba don buguwa ba.
18 By laziness, a framework shall be brought down, and by the weakness of hands, a house shall collapse through.
In mutum rago ne, sai tsaiko yă lotsa, in hannuwansa ba masa yin kome, ɗaki yakan yi yoyo.
19 While laughing, they make bread and wine, so that the living may feast. And all things are obedient to money.
Akan shirya abinci don jin daɗi, ruwan inabi kuwa don faranta zuciya, amma kuɗi ne amsar kome.
20 You should not slander the king, even in your thoughts, and you should not speak evil of a wealthy man, even in your private chamber. For even the birds of the air will carry your voice, and whatever has wings will announce your opinion.
Kada ka zagi sarki ko da a cikin tunaninka ne, ko ka zagi mai arziki ko da a ɗakin kwananka ne, gama tsuntsun sararin sama zai iya ɗauki maganarka, tsuntsu mai fikafikai zai sanar da abin da ka ce.
