🔊 As each day passed I would learn, in our talk, something about the little prince's planet, his departure from it, his journey. The information would come very slowly, as it might be drawn out of a chance remark. It was in this way that I heard, on the third day, about the catastrophe of the baobabs.

A kowace rana, yayin da muke hira, sai in koyi wani abu game da duniyar 译文, da yadda ya bar ta, da tafiyarsa. Bayanan suna zuwa a hankali, kamar yadda za a iya fitar da su daga wata magana da ta faru ba da gangan ba. Ta wannan hanyar ne, a rana ta uku, na ji labarin bala'in bishiyoyin 译文.

🔊 This time, once more, I had the sheep to thank for it. For the little prince asked me abruptly—as if seized by a grave doubt—"It is true, isn't it, that sheep eat little bushes?"

A wannan karon, na sake yin godiya ga tumaki. Domin 译文 ya tambaye ni ba zato ba tsammani—kamar wanda shakka mai tsanani ya kama—"Gaskiya ne, ko ba haka ba, tumaki suna cin ƙananan bishiyu?"

🔊

adv. Ba zato ba tsammani, cikin gaggawa.

🔊

grave /ɡreɪv/

adj. Mai muhimmanci sosai, mai tsanani.

🔊 "Yes, that is true."

"I, gaskiya ne."

🔊 "Ah! I am glad!"

"Ah! Na yi farin ciki!"

🔊 I did not understand why it was so important that sheep should eat little bushes. But the little prince added:

Ban fahimci dalilin da ya sa yake da muhimmanci cewa tumaki su ci ƙananan bishiyu ba. Amma 译文 ya ƙara da cewa:

🔊 "Then it follows that they also eat baobabs?"

"To, yana biye da haka cewa su ma suna cin bishiyoyin 译文?"

🔊 I pointed out to the little prince that baobabs are not little bushes, but, on the contrary, trees as big as castles; and that even if he took a whole herd of elephants away with him, the herd would not eat up one single baobab.

Na nuna wa 译文 cewa bishiyoyin 译文 ba ƙananan bishiyu ba ne, a’a, akasin haka, bishiyu ne masu girma kamar gine-gine; kuma ko da ya ɗauki garken giwaye gaba ɗaya tare da shi, garken ba zai ci gaba ɗaya bishiyar 译文 ba.

🔊

herd /hɜːrd/

n. Garke, tarin dabbobi iri ɗaya.

🔊 The idea of the herd of elephants made the little prince laugh.

Tunanin garken giwaye ya sa 译文 ya yi dariya.

🔊 "We would have to put them one on top of the other," he said.

"Dole ne mu sanya su ɗaya a saman ɗaya," in ji shi.

🔊 But he made a wise comment:

Amma ya yi wata magana mai hikima:

🔊 "Before they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little."

"Kafin su girma sosai, bishiyoyin 译文 suna farawa da zama ƙanana."

🔊 "That is strictly correct," I said. "But why do you want the sheep to eat the little baobabs?"

"Wannan daidai ne," na ce. "Amma me yasa kuke son tumaki su ci ƙananan bishiyoyin 译文?"

🔊

strictly /ˈstrɪktli/

adv. Da gaske, bisa ƙa'ida.

🔊 He answered me at once, "Oh, come, come!", as if he were speaking of something that was self-evident. And I was obliged to make a great mental effort to solve this problem, without any assistance.

Ya amsa ni nan take, "Oh, zo, zo!", kamar yana magana ne game da wani abu da ke bayyana kansa. Kuma na tilasta yin babban ƙoƙari na hankali don warware wannan matsala, ba tare da taimako ba.

🔊

adj. Tilastawa, dole.

🔊 Indeed, as I learned, there were on the planet where the little prince lived—as on all planets—good plants and bad plants. In consequence, there were good seeds from good plants, and bad seeds from bad plants. But seeds are invisible. They sleep deep in the heart of the earth's darkness, until some one among them is seized with the desire to awaken. Then this little seed will stretch itself and begin—timidly at first—to push a charming little sprig inoffensively upward toward the sun. If it is only a sprout of radish or the sprig of a rose-bush, one would let it grow wherever it might wish. But when it is a bad plant, one must destroy it as soon as possible, the very first instant that one recognizes it.

Lalle ne, kamar yadda na koya, a duniyar da 译文 ke zaune—kamar kowace duniya—akwai tsire-tsire masu kyau da marasa kyau. Saboda haka, akwai kyawawan iri daga tsire-tsire masu kyau, da mugayen iri daga tsire-tsire marasa kyau. Amma iri ba a iya gani.

🔊 Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces . . .

Yanzu akwai wasu mugayen iri a duniyar da ta zama gidan 译文; kuma waɗannan su ne irin bishiyoyin 译文. Ƙasar wannan duniyar ta cika da su. Bishiyar 译文 wani abu ne da ba za ku taɓa, ba za ku taɓa iya kawar da shi ba idan kun kula da shi da wuri. Yana yaduwa a duk faɗin duniyar. Yana haɗa ta sarai tare da tushensa.

🔊 "It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on. "When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely when they are very young. It is very tedious work," the little prince added, "but very easy."

"Tambaya ce ta horo," 译文 ya ce mini daga baya. "Lokacin da kuka gama wanka da kanku da safe, to lokaci ne don kula da wanka na duniyarku, haka kawai, tare da kulawa mafi girma. Dole ne ku tabbatar cewa kuna cire duk bishiyoyin 译文 akai-akai, a farkon lokacin da za a iya bambanta su da bishiyoyin wardi waɗanda suke kama da su sosai lokacin da suke ƙanana.

🔊 And one day he said to me: "You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes . . ."

Kuma wata rana ya ce mini: "Ya kamata ku yi zane mai kyau, domin yaran da kuke zaune a wurin su ga daidai yadda duk wannan yake. Hakan zai yi amfani musu sosai idan sun yi tafiya wata rana. Wani lokaci," ya ƙara, "babu laifi a jinkirta wani aiki har zuwa wata rana. Amma idan al'amarin bishiyoyin 译文 ne, wannan koyaushe yana nufin bala'i. Na san wata duniya da wani malalaci ne ke zaune. Ya yi sakaci da ƙananan bishiyu uku..."

🔊

neglected /nɪˈɡlektɪd/

adj. An yi sakaci da, an yi watsi da.

🔊 So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through my reserve. "Children," I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"

Don haka, kamar yadda 译文 ya bayyana mini, na yi zanen wannan duniyar. Ba na son ɗaukar sautin mai koyar da ɗabi'a sosai. Amma haɗarin bishiyoyin 译文 ba a fahimta sosai, kuma irin wannan babban haɗari zai iya faruwa ga duk wanda zai iya ɓacewa a kan wata duniyar ƙanana, har sau ɗaya na karya reserve dina.

n. Kunyar magana, riƙon kai.

🔊 My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, without ever knowing it; and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing. The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.

Abokaina, kamar ni, sun kasance suna kewaya wannan haɗari na dogon lokaci, ba tare da saninsu ba; don haka a gare su ne na yi aiki tuƙur a kan wannan zane. Darasin da na wuce ta wannan hanyar ya cancanci duk wahalar da ta same ni.

🔊

skirting /ˈskɜːrtɪŋ/

🔊 Perhaps you will ask me, "Why are there no other drawings in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?"

Wataƙila za ku tambaye ni, "Me ya sa babu wasu zane-zane a cikin wannan littafi masu girma da ban sha'awa kamar wannan zanen bishiyoyin 译文?"

🔊

magnificent /mæɡˈnɪfɪsnt/

adj. Mai ban mamaki, mai girma da kyau.

🔊

impressive /ɪmˈpresɪv/

adj. Mai burgewa, mai ban sha'awa.

🔊 The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

Amsar tana da sauƙi. Na yi ƙoƙari. Amma tare da sauran ban yi nasara ba. Lokacin da na yi zanen bishiyoyin 译文, an ɗauke ni fiye da kaina ta ƙarfin ƙwaƙƙwaran larura.
