Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better than fine perfume, and one’s day of death is better than his day of birth.
Magac wanaagsanu waa ka sii fiican yahay saliid qaali ah, oo maalinta dhimashaduna waa ka fiican tahay maalinta dhalashada.
2 It is better to enter a house of mourning than a house of feasting, since death is the end of every man, and the living should take this to heart.
In guriga diyaafadda la tago waxaa ka wanaagsan in guriga baroorashada la tago, waayo, taasaa dadka oo dhan u dambaysa, oo kuwa nooluna qalbigay taas gashan doonaan.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for a sad countenance is good for the heart.
Qosol waxaa ka wanaagsan murug, waayo, qalbigu wuxuu ku wanaagsanaadaa wejiga caloolxumadiisa.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
Qalbiga kuwa xigmadda lahu wuxuu ku jiraa guriga baroorashada, laakiinse qalbiga nacasyadu wuxuu ku jiraa guriga farxadda.
5 It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.
Nin intuu nacasyada gabaygooda maqli lahaa waxaa ka wanaagsan inuu canaanta kuwa xigmadda leh maqlo.
6 For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
Waayo, qosolka nacasku waa sida qodxo dheri hoostiis ka jacjac leh, oo taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
7 Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Hubaal dulmigu nin xigmad leh wuu waalaa, oo laaluushkuna qalbiguu ka kharribaa.
8 The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.
Wax bilowgiisa waxaa ka wanaagsan dhammaadkiisa, oo kii dulqaadasho badanuna waa ka wanaagsan yahay kii kibir badan.
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.
Xanaaq ha ku degdegin, waayo, xanaaqu wuxuu ku jiraa laabta nacasyada.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is unwise of you to ask about this.
Ha odhan, Waayihii hore bal maxay kuwan uga fiicnaayeen? Waayo, xaalkan si caqliya u weyddiin maysid.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.
Xigmaddu sida dhaxal oo kale ayay u wanaagsan tahay, oo waa u faa'iido kuwa qorraxda arka.
12 For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
Waayo, xigmaddu waxay wax u daafacdaa sida lacagtu wax u daafacdo oo kale, laakiinse aqoonta faa'iidadeedu waa in xigmaddu ay nabadgeliso kuwa iyada haysta.
13 Consider the work of God: Who can straighten what He has bent?
Bal Ilaah shuqulkiisa ka fiirso, waayo, wixii uu isagu qalloociyey bal yaa toosin kara?
14 In the day of prosperity, be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider this: God has made one of these along with the other, so that a man cannot discover anything that will come after him.
Maalintii aad barwaaqaysan tahay aad u faraxsanow, oo maalintii aad dhibaataysan tahayna aad u fiirso in Ilaah mid u sameeyey sida kan kale si uusan ninna u ogaan karin waxa isaga dabadiis jiri doona.
15 In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
Waxaa jira nin xaq ah oo xaqnimadiisa ku halligma iyo nin shar ah oo sharnimadiisa ku cimri dheeraada; labadaba wakhtigii aan waxtarka lahayn ee aan noolaa ayaan arkay.
16 Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
Aad xaq ha u noqon oo hana iska dhigin mid aad xigmad u leh, waayo, bal maxaad isu baabbi'inaysaa?
17 Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Aad sharrow ha u noqon, oo nacasna ha noqon, waayo, bal maxaad wedkaaga ka hor u dhimanaysaa?
18 It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand. For he who fears God will follow both warnings.
Waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad tan xagsatid, oo aadan gacantaadana dib uga ceshan, waayo, kii Ilaah ka cabsada waxan oo dhan ayuu ka soo bixi doonaa.
19 Wisdom makes the wise man stronger than ten rulers in a city.
Xigmaddu kan xigmadda leh way uga xoog badan tahay toban taliye oo magaalada jooga.
20 Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Waayo, dhulka laguma arag nin xaq ah oo wanaag fala, oo aan dembaabin.
21 Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.
Wax kasta oo lagu hadlo ha dhegaysan, waaba intaasoo aad maqashaa addoonkaaga oo ku habaarayee.
22 For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
Waayo, marar badan ayaa qalbigaagu og yahay inaad adba saasoo kale u habaartid kuwo kale.
23 All this I tested by wisdom, saying, “I resolve to be wise.” But it was beyond me.
Waxyaalahan oo dhan xigmad baan ku tijaabiyey. Waxaan is-idhi, Xigmad baan yeelan doonaa, laakiinse xigmaddii way iga fogayd.
24 What exists is out of reach and very deep. Who can fathom it?
Waayo, bal yaa gaadhi kara wixii aad u fog ee mool dheer?
25 I directed my mind to understand, to explore, to search out wisdom and explanations, and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the folly of madness.
Waxaan qalbigayga oo dhan u diyaariyey oo u soo jeediyey inaan ogaado, oo baadho, oo aan doondoono xigmad iyo wax kasta sababtiisa, iyo inaan ogaado in sharnimadu tahay nacasnimo, iyo in doqonnimadu tahay waalli.
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.
Oo waxaan soo ogaaday wax xataa dhimashada ka sii qadhaadh, waana naag qalbigeedu yahay dabinno iyo shabagyo, oo ay gacmeheeduna yihiin jeebbooyin. Ku alla kii Ilaah ka farxiyo iyaduu ka baxsan doonaa, laakiinse dembilaha way qabsan doontaa.
27 “Behold,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find an explanation.
Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, si aan sababta u garto ayaan midba mid ku daray oo waxaasaan soo helay.
28 While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.
Oo weliba waan sii doondoonayaa, laakiinse ma aan helo. Kun nin dhexdood ayaan nin qudha ka helay, laakiinse kuwaas oo dhan xataa naag qudha kama helin.
29 Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made men upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
Bal eeg, waxan keliya oo aan soo ogaaday in Ilaah binu-aadmiga sameeyey iyagoo qumman, laakiinse waxay doondooneen hindisooyin badan.
