ਭਰਮ ਮੋਹ ਕਛੁ ਸੂਝਸਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਇਹ ਪੈਖਰ ਪਏ ਪੈਰਾ ॥੨॥
bharam moh kachh soojhas naahee ih paikhar pa-ay pairaa. ||2||
Due to attachment with the illusionary world, he cannot think righteously and the shackles of Maya slow down his spiritual progress.
Kutokana na kiambatisho kwa dunia kama ndoto, hawezi kufikiria kiadilifu na pingu za Maya zinapunguza maendeleo yake ya kiroho.
ਤਬ ਇਹੁ ਕਹਾ ਕਮਾਵਨ ਪਰਿਆ ਜਬ ਇਹੁ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਹੋਤਾ ॥
tab ih kahaa kamaavan pari-aa jab ih kachhoo na hotaa.
Before creation of the world, how could one have spiritually progressed without having gotten the body?
Kabla ya uumbaji wa dunia, mtu angewezaje kupiha hatua kiroho bila kupata mwili?
ਜਬ ਏਕ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪਹਿ ਕਰਤਾ ॥੩॥
jab ayk niranjan nirankaar parabh sabh kichh aapeh kartaa. ||3||
When only the immaculate and formless God prevailed, He did everything Himself. ||3||
Wakati Mungu safi na asiye na muundo pekee ndiye alidumu, alifanya kila kitu Mwenyewe.

He alone knows His actions who fashioned this world.
Yeye pekee anajua vitendo vyake aliyetengeneza dunia hii.

Nanak says, “God Himself is the doer. The true Guru has dispelled my false notions”. (such as belief in ownership of worldly things etc). ||4||5||163||
Nanak anasema, “Mungu Mwenyewe ndiye mtendaji. Guru wa kweli ameondoa dhana zangu za uongo”. (kama vile kuamini umiliki wa vitu vya kidunia na kadhalika).

Raag Gauree Maalaa, Guru wa Tano:
ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰ ਕ੍ਰਿਆ ਬਿਰਥੇ ॥
har bin avar kir-aa birthay.
Without meditation on God, all other deeds are useless.
Bila kutafakari kuhusu Mungu, vitendo vingine vyote ni bure.

jap tap sanjam karam kamaanay ihi orai moosay.||1|| rahaa-o.
The merits of recitation, penance, self-mortification and other rites to please the dieties are not recognized in God’s Court. ||1||Pause||
Sifa za kukariri, toba, kujitesa na mila nyingine kupendeza miungu hazitambuliki katika Mahakama ya Mungu. ||1||Sitisha||
ਬਰਤ ਨੇਮ ਸੰਜਮ ਮਹਿ ਰਹਤਾ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਆਢੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
barat naym sanjam meh rahtaa tin kaa aadh na paa-i-aa.
One who remains engaged in observing fasts, daily rituals and austerities does not attain even a penny’s worth of spiritual gain.
Mtu anayebaki amejishughulisha katika kufunga, mila za kila siku na nidhamu kali hapati hata thamani ya peni ya faida ya kiroho.
ਆਗੈ ਚਲਣੁ ਅਉਰੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਊਂਹਾ ਕਾਮਿ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥
aagai chalan a-or hai bhaa-ee ooNhaa kaam na aa-i-aa. ||1||
O’ brother, no ritualistic deed serves any purpose hereafter. Only the meditation on Naam serves there. ||1||
Ee ndugu, hakuna kitendo chochote cha mila ambacho kina kusudi lolote baadaye. Ni kutafakari Naam pekee kunakotumikia huko.
ਤੀਰਥਿ ਨਾਇ ਅਰੁ ਧਰਨੀ ਭ੍ਰਮਤਾ ਆਗੈ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
tirath naa-ay ar Dharnee bharmataa aagai tha-ur na paavai.
One who bathes at places of pilgrimages and wanders all over the world, does not get any recognition in God’s court.
Yule anayeoga katika pahali pa hija na kuzurura duniani kote, hapati utambuzi wowote katika mahakama ya Mungu.
ਊਹਾ ਕਾਮਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਓਹੁ ਲੋਗਨ ਹੀ ਪਤੀਆਵੈ ॥੨॥
oohaa kaam na aavai ih biDh oh logan hee patee-aavai. ||2||
Any such deed is of no use in God’s court. He may only be able to impress people. ||2||
Kitendo chochote kama hicho hakina manufaa katika mahakama ya Mungu, yeye anaweza tu kuvutia watu.
ਚਤੁਰ ਬੇਦ ਮੁਖ ਬਚਨੀ ਉਚਰੈ ਆਗੈ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
chatur bayd mukh bachnee uchrai aagai mahal na paa-ee-ai.
Even by reciting all the four Vedas (the Hindu holy books) from memory, one does not receive God’s approval.
Hata kwa kukariri Vedas nne (vitabu takatifu vya Kihindu) kutoka akilini, mtu hapokei idhini ya Mungu.
ਬੂਝੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਏਕੁ ਸੁਧਾਖਰੁ ਓਹੁ ਸਗਲੀ ਝਾਖ ਝਖਾਈਐ ॥੩॥
boojhai naahee ayk suDhaakhar oh saglee jhaakh jhakhaa-ee-ai. ||3||
One’s efforts are all useless if he doesn’t realize the essence of God’s immaculate Name. ||3||
Jitihada za mtu ni bure iwapo hagundui kiini cha Jina safi la Mungu.
ਨਾਨਕੁ ਕਹਤੋ ਇਹੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਾ ਜਿ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸੁ ਪਾਰ ਗਰਾਮੀ ॥
naanak kahto ih beechaaraa je kamaavai so paar garaamee.
Nanak expresses the thought that one who earns the wealth of God’s Name, becomes able to swim across the worldly ocean of vices.
Nanak anaeleza fikra kwamba mtu anayechuma utajiri wa Jina la Mungu, anaweza kuogelea akivuka bahari ya kidunia ya dhambi.
