ਗਉੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥
gaorhee mehlaa 1.
Raag Gauree, by the First Guru:
Raag Gauree, na Guru wa Kwanza:
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਬੂਝਿ ਲੇ ਤਉ ਹੋਇ ਨਿਬੇਰਾ ॥
gur parsaadee boojh lay tao hoay nibayraa.
The strife in your mind due to worldly illusions would end only if by Guru’s grace we understand,
Ugomvi akilini mwako kutokana na njozi za kidunia ungetamatika iwapo tu tuelewe kwa neema ya Guru,
ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨਾ ਸੋ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ॥੧॥
ghar ghar naam niranjanaa so thaakur mayraa.||1||
that the immaculate God Who dwells in each and every heart is my Master.
Kwa mba Mungu safi anayeishi katika kila moyo ndiye Bwana wangu.
ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦ ਨ ਛੂਟੀਐ ਦੇਖਹੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਾ ॥
bin gur sabad na chhooteeai daykhhu veechaaraa.
See and reflect upon it that without Guru’s teachings, no one can be liberated from this worldly strifes.
Ona na utafakari kuihusu kwamba bila mafundisho ya Guru, hakuna mtu anaweza kukombolewa kutoka ugomvi wa kidunia.
ਜੇ ਲਖ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਹੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਅੰਧਿਆਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jay lakh karam kamaavahee bin gur anDhiaaraa. ||1|| rahaao.
Even if one performs millions of rituals, without the Guru’s teachings the darkness of ignorance continues.
Hata iwapo mtu afanye mamilioni ya mila, bila mafundisho ya Guru giza ya ujinga unasalia.
ਅੰਧੇ ਅਕਲੀ ਬਾਹਰੇ ਕਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਸਿਉ ਕਹੀਐ ॥
anDhay aklee baahray kiaa tin sio kaheeai.
What can we say to those who are spiritually blind and devoid of wisdom?
Tunaweza kuambia nini wale ambao ni vipofu kiroho na hakuna hekima yoyote?
ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਪੰਥੁ ਨ ਸੂਝਈ ਕਿਤੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਨਿਰਬਹੀਐ ॥੨॥
bin gur panth na soojhee kit biDh nirabaheeai. ||2||
Without the teachings of Guru, they cannot determine the right way of life. How can a righteous person get along with them?
Bila mafundisho ya Guru, hawawezi kutathmini njia sahihi ya maisha. Mtu mwadilifu anawezaje kuelewana nao?
ਖੋਟੇ ਕਉ ਖਰਾ ਕਹੈ ਖਰੇ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ॥
khotay kao kharaa kahai kharay saar na jaanai.
Such a spiritually blind person considers worldly wealth as genuine which has no value in God’s court. He does not realize the value of Naam, the real wealth.
Mtu ambaye ni kipofu wa kiroho kama huyo anafikiria utajiri wa kidunia kuwa halisi ambao hauna thamani katika mahakama ya Mungu. Yeye hagundui thamani ya Naam, utajiri halisi.
ਅੰਧੇ ਕਾ ਨਾਉ ਪਾਰਖੂ ਕਲੀ ਕਾਲ ਵਿਡਾਣੈ ॥੩॥
anDhay kaa naao paarkhoo kalee kaal vidaanai. ||3||
So astonishing is the present age of Kalyug, that spiritually blind person is called appraiser of righteousness.
Ya kustaajabisha mno ni enzi ya sasa ya Kalyug, kwamba mtu kipofu wa kiroho anaitwa mkadiria wa uadilifu.
ਸੂਤੇ ਕਉ ਜਾਗਤੁ ਕਹੈ ਜਾਗਤ ਕਉ ਸੂਤਾ ॥
sootay kao jaagat kahai jaagat kao sootaa.
The person who is involved in worldly pursuits is called awake and the one who is awake in the remembrance of God is called asleep.
Mtu anayejishughulisha na harakati za kidunia anaitwa aliyeamka na yule ambaye ameamka katika ukumbusho wa Mungu anaitwa aliyelala.
ਜੀਵਤ ਕਉ ਮੂਆ ਕਹੈ ਮੂਏ ਨਹੀ ਰੋਤਾ ॥੪॥
jeevat kao mooaa kahai mooay nahee rotaa. ||4||
The worldly people consider the spiritually alive person as dead, but does not grieve over the one who is spiritually dead.
Watu wa dunia wanafikiria mtu aliye hai kiroho kuwa mfu, lakini haiombolezi kuhusu yule ambaye amekufa kiroho.
ਆਵਤ ਕਉ ਜਾਤਾ ਕਹੈ ਜਾਤੇ ਕਉ ਆਇਆ ॥
aavat kao jaataa kahai jaatay kao aaiaa.
The person who comes to Guru’s path is considered as lost cause and the one who is involved in worldly wealth, his advent is deemed as fruitful.
Mtu anayekuja kwenye njia ya Guru anafikiria kuwa mpotovu na yule ambaye amejishughulisha katika utajiri wa kudunia, ujio wake unadhaniwa kuwa wenye mafanikio.
ਪਰ ਕੀ ਕਉ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਕਹੈ ਅਪੁਨੋ ਨਹੀ ਭਾਇਆ ॥੫॥
par kee kao apunee kahai apuno nahee bhaaiaa. ||5||
The human beings likes the worldly wealth which will pass on to others, but do not like God’s Name which could be truly their own.
Binadamu wanapenda utajiri wa kidunia ambao utarithishwa kwa wengine, lakini hawapendi Jina la Mungu ambao kwa kweli linaweza kuwa lao.
ਮੀਠੇ ਕਉ ਕਉੜਾ ਕਹੈ ਕੜੂਏ ਕਉ ਮੀਠਾ ॥
meethay kao kaurhaa kahai karhooay kao meethaa.
There are those who call Sweet (God’s Name) as bitter and the bitter vicious lust as sweet.
Kuna wale wanaosema Kitamu (Jina la Mungu) kama chungu na ukware mchungu mkali kuwa tamu.
ਰਾਤੇ ਕੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰਹਿ ਐਸਾ ਕਲਿ ਮਹਿ ਡੀਠਾ ॥੬॥
raatay kee nindaa karahi aisaa kal meh deethaa. ||6||
In Kalyug, this is being seen that the one who is imbued with God’s love is slandered.
Katika Kalyug, inaonekana kwamba yule ambaye amejawa na upendo wa Mungu anachongewa.
ਚੇਰੀ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਹਿ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਦੀਸੈ ॥
chayree kee sayvaa karahi thaakur nahee deesai.
People serve the maid (worldly wealth) of God but not the God.
Watu wanatumikia kijakazi (utajiri wa kidunia) wa Mungu lakini sio Mungu.
ਪੋਖਰੁ ਨੀਰੁ ਵਿਰੋਲੀਐ ਮਾਖਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਰੀਸੈ ॥੭॥
pokhar neer viroleeai maakhan nahee reesai. ||7||
Just as butter can’t be obtained by churning the pond water, similarly peace can’t be obtained from the worldly wealth.
Kama vile siagi haiwezi kupatwa kwa kukoroga maji ya kidimbwi, vivyo hivyo amani haiwezi kupatwa kutoka utajiri wa kidunia.
ਇਸੁ ਪਦ ਜੋ ਅਰਥਾਇ ਲੇਇ ਸੋ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥
is pad jo arthaaay layay so guroo hamaaraa.
The one who achieves the spiritual status of self realization is worthy of my respect as Guru.
Yule anayetimiza hadhi ya kiroho ya kujitambua anastahili heshima yangu kama Guru.
ਨਾਨਕ ਚੀਨੈ ਆਪ ਕਉ ਸੋ ਅਪਰ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥੮॥
naanak cheenai aap kao so apar apaaraa. ||8||
O’ Nanak, the person who realizes his own self, becomes the embodiment of the infinite God.
Ee Nanak, mtu anayegundua nafsi yake mwenyewe, anakuwa udhihirisho wa kimwili wa Mungu asiye na mwisho.
ਸਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਆਪੇ ਭਰਮਾਇਆ ॥
sabh aapay aap varatdaa aapay bharmaaiaa.
He Himself is Allpervading; He Himself strays the people from the right path.
Yeye Mwenyewe anaenea kote; Yeye Mwenyewe anapotosha watu kutoka njia sahihi.
ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਬੂਝੀਐ ਸਭੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੯॥੨॥੧੮॥
gur kirpaa tay boojheeai sabh barahm samaaiaa. ||9||2||18||
By Guru’s Grace, one comes to understand, that God pervades everywhere.
Kwa Neema ya Guru, mtu anakuja kuelewa, kwamba Mungu anaenea kote.

ਜਿਚਰੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਨ ਭੀਜੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਨਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jichar sabad na bheejai har kai naaay. ||1|| rahaao.
so long as the mind of that person is not imbued with God’s Name through the Guru’s word.
Ili mradi akili ya mtu huyo haijavama kwa Jina la Mungu kupitia neno la Guru.
ਸਭੋ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਜੇਤਾ ਮੋਹੁ ਆਕਾਰੁ ॥
sabho sootak jaytaa moh aakaar.
The emotional attachment for the worldly things is the bases for all the impurity of the mind.
Kiambatisho cha kihisia kwa vitu vya kidunia ni msingi wa unajisi wote wa akili.

Fire, air and water are also polluted, Because there are insects and bacteria in them. (ritual of purifying with fire, water and air etc.)
Moto, hewa na maji pia yamechafuliwa, Kwa sababu kuna wadudu na bakteria ndani mwao. (mila ya kujitakasa kwa moto, maji na hewa na kadhalika.)

ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੪॥
naam ratay man nirmal hoay. ||4||
It is only by being imbued with God’s Name that the mind is purified.

ਜੁਗ ਚਾਰੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਤਮੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥
jug chaaray naam utam sabad beechesr.
Throughout the four ages, reflecting on Naam was considered the best advice.
Kupitia enzi nne zote, kutafakari kuhusu Naam kulifikiriwa kuwa ushauri nzuri kabisa.

kal meh gurmukh utras paar. ||7||
In Kalyug also only the Guru’s followers swim across the worldly ocean of vices by meditating on God’s Name with love and respect.

O’ Nanak,the Guru’s follower remains merged in God’s Name and therefore no vices can pollute his mind.
