Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better then a good oyntment, and the day of death, then the day that one is borne.
Suna mai kyau ya fi turare mai ƙanshi, kuma ranar mutuwa ta fi ranar haihuwa.
2 It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting, because this is the ende of all men: and the liuing shall lay it to his heart.
Gara a tafi gidan makoki da a je gidan biki, gama mutuwa ce ƙaddarar kowane mutum; ya kamata masu rai su lura da haka.
3 Anger is better then laughter: for by a sad looke the heart is made better.
Baƙin ciki ya fi dariya, gama baƙin ciki yakan kawo gyara.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth.
Zuciyar masu hikima tana a gidan makoki, amma zuciya wawaye tana a gidan shagali.
5 Better it is to heare ye rebuke of a wise man, then that a man should heare the song of fooles.
Gara ka saurari tsawatawar mai hikima da ka saurari waƙar wawaye.
6 For like ye noyse of the thornes vnder the pot, so is the laughter of the foole: this also is vanitie.
Kamar ƙarar ƙayar da take karce gindin tukunya, haka dariyar wawaye take. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad: and the rewarde destroyeth the heart.
Zalunci yakan mai da mutum mai hikima wawa, cin hanci kuma yakan lalace hali.
8 The ende of a thing is better then the beginning thereof, and the pacient in spirit is better then the proude in spirit.
Ƙarshen abu ya fi farkonsa, haƙuri kuma ya fi girman kai.
9 Be not thou of an hastie spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles.
Kada ranka yă yi saurin tashi, gama fushi yana zama a cinyar wawaye.
10 Say not thou, Why is it that the former dayes were better then these? for thou doest not enquire wisely of this thing.
Kada ka ce, “Me ya sa kwanakin dā sun fi waɗannan?” Gama ba daidai ba ne a yi irin waɗannan tambayoyi.
11 Wisedome is good with an inheritance, and excellent to them that see the sunne.
Hikima, kamar gādo, abu mai kyau ne tana kuma da amfani ga waɗanda suka ga rana.
12 For man shall rest in the shadowe of wisedome, and in the shadowe of siluer: but the excellencie of the knowledge of wisedome giueth life to the possessers thereof.
Hikima mafaka ce takan kāre mutum kamar yadda kuɗi suke yi. Kiyayewar da hikima takan yi wa mai ita ita ce amfanin ilimi.
13 Beholde the worke of God: for who can make straight that which he hath made crooked?
Ku lura da abin da Allah ya yi. Wa zai iya miƙe abin da ya tanƙware?
14 In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man shoulde finde nothing after him.
Sa’ad da al’amura suke tafiya daidai, ka yi farin ciki, amma sa’ad da suka lalace, ka tuna, Allah ne ya yi wancan shi ne kuma ya yi wannan. Saboda haka, mutum ba zai san wani abu game da nan gabansa ba.
15 I haue seene all things in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his iustice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice.
A cikin rayuwan nan ta rashin amfani nawa, na lura da waɗannan abubuwa biyu, mai adalci yana hallakawa cikin adalcinsa, mai mugunta kuma yana tsawon rai cikin muguntarsa.
16 Be not thou iust ouermuch, neither make thy selfe ouerwise: wherefore shouldest thou be desolate?
Kada ka cika yin adalci, fiye da kima, kada kuma ka cika yin hikima, don me za ka hallaka kanka!
17 Be not thou wicked ouermuch, neither be thou foolish: wherefore shouldest thou perish not in thy time?
Kada ka cika yin mugunta, kada kuma ka cika yin wauta, don me za ka mutu kafin lokacinka?
18 It is good that thou lay hold on this: but yet withdrawe not thine hand from that: for he that feareth God, shall come forth of them all.
Yana da kyau ka kama ɗaya ba tare da ka saki wancan ba. Mai tsoron Allah zai guji wuce gona da iri.
19 Wisedome shall strengthen the wise man more then ten mightie princes that are in ye citie.
Hikima takan sa mutum guda mai hikima yă yi ƙarfi fiye da masu mulki goma a cikin birni.
20 Surely there is no man iust in the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.
Babu mai adalci a duniya wanda yake yin abin da yake daidai da bai taɓa yin zunubi ba.
21 Giue not thine heart also to all ye wordes that men speake, lest thou doe heare thy seruant cursing thee.
Kada ka mai da hankali ga dukan abin da mutane suke faɗi, in ba haka ba wata rana za ka ji bayinka suna zaginka.
22 For often times also thine heart knoweth that thou likewise hast cursed others.
Gama kai kanka ka sani cewa sau da yawa ka zagi waɗansu.
23 All this haue I prooued by wisedome: I thought I will be wise, but it went farre from me.
Dukan waɗannan na gwada su ta wurin hikima na kuma ce, “Na ƙudurta in zama mai hikima,” amma abin ya fi ƙarfina.
24 It is farre off, what may it be? and it is a profound deepenesse, who can finde it?
Ko da me hikima take, Abin ya yi mana zurfi ƙwarai, yana da wuyar ganewa, wa zai iya gane shi?
25 I haue compassed about, both I and mine heart to knowe and to enquire and to search wisedome, and reason, and to knowe the wickednesse of follie, and the foolishnesse of madnesse,
Saboda haka na mai da hankalina ga fahimi, don in bincika in nemi hikima da yadda aka tsara abubuwa, in kuma fahimci wawancin mugunta da haukar wauta.
26 And I finde more bitter then death the woman whose heart is as nettes and snares, and her handes, as bands: he that is good before God, shalbe deliuered from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Sai na iske wani abin da ya fi mutuwa ɗaci mace wadda take tarko ne, wadda zuciyarta tarko ne wadda kuma hannuwanta sarƙa ne. Mutumin da ya gamshi Allah zai tsere mata, amma za tă kama mai zunubi.
27 Beholde, sayth the Preacher, this haue I found, seeking one by one to finde the count:
Malami ya ce, “Duba, abin da na gane ke nan. “Na tara abu guda da wani, don in gane tsarin abubuwa,
28 And yet my soule seeketh, but I finde it not: I haue found one man of a thousand: but a woman among them all haue I not founde.
yayinda nake cikin nema amma ban samu ba, sai na sami adali guda cikin dubu, amma ba mace mai adalci guda a cikinsu duka.
29 Onely loe, this haue I founde, that God hath made man righteous: but they haue sought many inuentions.
Wannan ne kaɗai abin da na gane. Allah ya yi mutum tsab amma sai muka rikitar da kanmu.”
