Eklesiastes 1
1 Magi e weche mane jayalo ma wuod Daudi, mane ruodh Jerusalem owacho.
Amazwi oMtshumayeli, indodana kaDavida inkosi yaseJerusalema:
2 Jayalo wacho niya, “Ngima en gima nono! Chutho en gima nono! Gik moko duto onge tiendgi!”
“Ize! Ize!” kutsho uMtshumayeli. “Ize elipheleleyo! Konke kuyize.”
3 En ohala mane ma dhano yudo kuom tije duto motiyo kendo mochandore godo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ?
Umuntu uzuzani ngawo wonke umsebenzi wakhe awusebenza nzima ngaphansi kwelanga?
4 Tiengʼ ka tiengʼ biro kendo kadho, to piny to osiko mana kaka en.
Izizukulwane ziyafika, izizukulwane ziyedlula, kodwa umhlaba umi lanini.
5 Chiengʼ wuok kendo chiengʼ podho, kendo oridore piyo piyo kodok kuma owuokie.
Ilanga liyaphuma njalo ilanga liyatshona, liphinde liphange libuyele lapho eliphuma khona.
6 Yamo futo kochiko yo milambo kendo okudho kochiko yo nyandwat; odhi kolworore, ndalo duto koduogo kare mapile.
Umoya uphephethela eningizimu ujike uye enyakatho; uyabhoda, ubhode njalo ujinge ubuyela endleleni yawo.
7 Aore duto mol kadhi ei nam, to kata kamano nam ok pongʼ. To kuma aorego oaye, kanyo ema gidwogoe.
Zonke izifula zigelezela olwandle, kodwa ulwandle kalugcwali. Endaweni lapho izifula ezidabuka khona zicina zibuyela khona njalo.
8 Gik moko duto gin tingʼ mapek, moingo ngʼato wacho. Kata obedo ni wangʼ neno, to gik moneno ok rome, to it bende kata obedo ni owinjo gik moko, to gik mowinjo ok rome.
Zonke izinto ziyadina, lokho okungelandiswe muntu. Ilihlo kalidinwa yikubona, lendlebe layo kayigcwali ngokuzwa.
9 Gima osebedo biro bedo kendo, gima osetim ibiro tim kendo; kendo onge gino manyien e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ.
Lokho okwake kwaba khona kuzakuba khona njalo; okwake kwenziwa kuzakwenziwa njalo; akulalutho olutsha ngaphansi kwelanga.
10 Bende nitiere gima ngʼato nyalo wacho ni ma en gima nyien? Ooyo ok gima nyien, nimar nyalo bedo ni gino nosetimore chon kane pok onywolwa.
Kukhona yini umuntu angathi ngakho, “Khangela! Lolulutho lutsha?” Selwake lwaba khona ngaphambili, kudala; lwalukhona singakabi khona.
11 Joma chon ok par ngangʼ mana kaka tiengʼni bende, ok nopar gi joma biro luwo bangʼ-gi.
Kayikho imikhumbulo ngabantu bakudala, njalo lalabo abezayo abayikukhunjulwa yilabo abalandelayo.
12 An, jayalo, asebedo ruodh Israel kadak Jerusalem.
Mina Mtshumayeli, ngangiyinkosi yako-Israyeli eJerusalema.
13 Ne achiwora mondo atiegra kendo anon matut kod rieko gigo duto mitimo e bwo polo. Mano doko tingʼ mapek ma Nyasaye oyieyo kuom ji!
Ngazinikela ekufundeni lokudingisisa ngolwazi konke okwenziwayo ngaphansi kwezulu. Unzima kangakanani umthwalo uNkulunkulu awethese abantu!
14 Aseneno gik moko mitimo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ, giduto gionge tiendgi, kendo gichalo mana yamo.
Sengizibonile zonke izinto ezenziwayo ngaphansi kwelanga; zonke kazitsho lutho, kuyikuxotshana lomoya.
15 Gima odol ok nyal rie; kendo gima onge ok kwan.
Okutshileneyo kungaze kwaqondiswa; okungekho kungaze kwabalwa.
16 Ne aparo e chunya niya, “Koro, asedongo kendo amedora e rieko moloyo ngʼato angʼata moserito Jerusalem motelona; kendo asebedo gi lony e rieko kod ngʼeyo.”
Ngacabanga ngedwa ngathi, “Khangela, sengikhulile njalo kwanda ukuhlakanipha kwami okudlula bonke asebake babusa eJerusalema ngaphambi kwami; sengibe lakho ukuhlakanipha okukhulu lolwazi.”
17 Eka ne achiwora ne winjo tiend rieko, ngʼeyo pogruok manie kind rieko, memruok kod fuwo, to ne afwenyo ni magi gin mana lawo bangʼ yamo mafuto.
Ngasengizimisela ukuzwisisa ukuhlakanipha, njalo lokuphambana ingqondo lobuwula, kodwa ngafunda ukuthi lokhu lakho kuyikuxotshana lomoya.
18 Nimar ne afwenyo ni rieko mangʼeny kelo kuyo; kendo ngʼeyo mangʼeny medo mana chuny lit.
Phela ngokwanda kokuhlakanipha kuyanda lokukhathazeka; ukwandisa ulwazi yikwandisa usizi.
