ਸੇਜ ਏਕ ਏਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭਰਮਈਆ ॥
sayj ayk ayko parabh thaakur mahal na paavai manmukh bharma-ee-aa.
Our soul and the Master-God dwell in the same one heart, but the self-willed person cannot realize His presence in the heart and keeps wandering around.
Roho yetu na Bwana-Mungu wanaishi katika moyo mmoja, lakini mtu mwenye hiari binafsi hawezi kugundua uwepo Wake moyoni na anaendelea kuzurura kote.
ਗੁਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਕਰਤ ਸਰਣਿ ਜੇ ਆਵੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਖਿਨੁ ਢੀਲ ਨ ਪਈਆ ॥੫॥
gur gur karat saran jay aavai parabh aa-ay milai khin dheel na pa-ee-aa. ||5||
If one surrenders to the Guru and follows his teachings, then God makes that person realize Him, without a moment’s delay. ||5||
Iwapo mtu ajisalimishe kwa Guru na kufuata mafundisho yake, basi Mungu anafanya mtu huyo amgundue Yeye, bila kusita hata kidogo.
ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਿਆਚਾਰ ਵਧਾਏ ਮਨਿ ਪਾਖੰਡ ਕਰਮੁ ਕਪਟ ਲੋਭਈਆ ॥
kar kar kiri-aachaar vaDhaa-ay man pakhand karam kapat lobha-ee-aa.
If one keeps performing and multiplying faith rituals, then his mind remains filled with hypocrisy, deceit and greed;
Iwapo mtu aendelee kufanya na kuzidisha mila za imani, basi akili yake inabaki imejawa na unafiki, udanganyo na tamaa;
ਬੇਸੁਆ ਕੈ ਘਰਿ ਬੇਟਾ ਜਨਮਿਆ ਪਿਤਾ ਤਾਹਿ ਕਿਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦਈਆ ॥੬॥
baysu-aa kai ghar baytaa janmi-aa pitaa taahi ki-aa naam sada-ee-aa. ||6||
this person, without the Guru, is like a son born to a prostitute who is withoutfather’s name. ||6||
mtu huyu, asiye na Guru, ni kama mwana aliyezaliwa na kahaba ambaye hana jina la baba.
ਪੂਰਬ ਜਨਮਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਆਏ ਗੁਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਜਮਈਆ ॥
poorab janam bhagat kar aa-ay gur har har har har bhagat jama-ee-aa.
Those who have the merit of devotional worship in the previous birth, the Guru has instilled within them the devotional worship of God.
Wale ambao wana usatahili wa ibada ya ujitoaji katika uzao wa hapo awali, Guru ameweka ndani mwao ibada ya ujitoaji wa Mungu.
ਭਗਤਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਈਆ ॥੭॥
bhagat bhagat kartay har paa-i-aa jaa har har har har naam sama-ee-aa. ||7||
By always remembering God with adoration, when they realized God and then by repeatedly uttering His Name, they merged in Him. ||7||
Kwa kumkumbuka Mungu daima kwa ibada, wakati wanagundua Mungu na kisha kwa kutamka Jina lake mara kwa mara, waliunganishwa na Yeye.
ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਆਣਿ ਆਣਿ ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਪੀਸਾਈ ਆਪੇ ਘੋਲਿ ਘੋਲਿ ਅੰਗਿ ਲਈਆ ॥
parabh aan aan mahindee peesaa-ee aapay ghol ghol ang la-ee-aa.
Just as a bride brings henna leaves and grinds them, she makes its paste and applies to her body parts; similarly God Himself engages one to His intense devotional worship and then unites him with His Name.
Kama vile bi harusi anachukua majani ya mhanuni na kuyaponda, anayafanya kuwa marhamu na kupaka kwenye mwili wake; vivyo hivyo Mungu Mwenyewe anahusisha mtu na ibada Yake ya ujitoaji na kisha anamuunganisha na Jina Lake.
ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਠਾਕੁਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੀ ਬਾਹ ਪਕਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਢਿ ਲਈਆ ॥੮॥੬॥੨॥੧॥੬॥੯॥
jin ka-o thaakur kirpaa Dhaaree baah pakar naanak kadh la-ee-aa. ||8||6||2||1||6||9||
O’ Nanak, those on whom God bestowed mercy, He extended His support and pulled them out of the worldly ocean of vices. ||8||6||9||2||1||6||9||
Ee Nanak, wale ambao Mungu alitawaza huruma kwao, Yeye alinyoosha tegemezo Yake na kuwavuta nje ya bahari ya kidunia ya dhambi.
