Ecclesiastes 2
1 So then I thought to myself, “Alright, let me examine pleasure and see how good that is.” But this too turned out to be something temporary that passes.
Waxaan qalbiga iska idhi, Bal kaalay, waxaan kugu tijaabin doonaa farxad, haddaba bal iska raaxayso, oo bal eeg, taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayne.
2 I conclude that laughing your way through life is stupid, and pleasure—what use is that?
Qosol waxaan ka idhi, Waa waalli! Farxadna waxaan ka idhi, Bal maxay taraysaa?
3 Then I used my mind to examine the attraction of wine to my body. My mind still guiding me with wisdom, I took it until I acted like a fool, so that I might see whether this was good for people to do during their time here.
Waxaan qalbigayga ka damcay inaan jidhkayga khamri ku istareexiyo intii qalbigaygu xigmad igu hoggaaminayo, iyo inaan nacasnimo xagsado jeeraan arko waxa binu-aadmiga ku wanaagsan inay cimrigooda oo dhan samada hoosteeda ku sameeyaan.
4 Then I tried great construction projects. I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself.
Waxaan samaystay shuqullo waaweyn, guryana waan dhistay, beero canab ahna waan beertay.
5 I made for myself gardens and parks, planting them with all kinds of fruit trees.
Waxaan samaystay beero iyo firdows, oo waxaan ku dhex beeray geed midho cayn kastaba leh.
6 I constructed for myself reservoirs to water all these growing trees.
Waxaan samaystay balliyo biya ah oo laga waraabiyo kaynta dhirtu ka baxdo.
7 I bought male and female slaves, and their children also belonged to me. I also owned many herds and flocks, more than anyone in Jerusalem before me.
Waxaan soo iibsaday addoommo rag iyo dumarba ah, oo waxaan lahaa addoommo gurigayga ku dhashay, weliba waxaan lahaa hanti aad u badan oo ishkin iyo adhiba leh, oo waan ka sii hodansanaa kuwii Yeruusaalem iiga horreeyey oo dhan.
8 I collected for myself great quantities of silver and gold, paid to me as tribute by kings and provinces. I brought in for myself male and female singers, and enjoyed many concubines—all a man could want!
Oo weliba waxaan kaloo soo urursaday lacag, iyo dahab, iyo khasnado khaas ah oo ay boqorro iyo gobollo leeyihiin. Oo waxaan yeeshay niman ii gabya iyo naago ii gabya, iyo waxyaalaha ay binu-aadmigu ku farxaan iyo dumar badan.
9 I became great—greater than anyone in Jerusalem before me. All the while my wisdom stayed with me.
Sidaasaan u weynaa oo uga maal badnaa kuwii Yeruusaalem iiga horreeyey oo dhan, oo weliba xigmaddaydiina way igu hadhay.
10 I didn't stop myself trying anything I wanted. Whatever I felt like enjoying, I did. I even enjoyed everything I had accomplished, a reward for all my work.
Oo wax kasta oo indhahaygu jeclaysteenna kama aan celin, oo qalbigaygana kama aan joojin farxad cayn kastoo ay tahayba, waayo, qalbigaygu wuu ku reyreeyey hawshaydii oo dhan, oo taasuna waxay ahayd qaybtii aan hawshaydii oo dhan ka helay.
11 But when I thought about what I had worked so hard to achieve, everything I'd done, it was so short-lived—as significant as someone trying to catch the wind. There really is no enduring benefit here on earth.
Markaasaan fiiriyey shuqulladii ay gacmahaygu sameeyeen oo dhan, iyo hawshii aan ku hawshooday oo dhan, oo bal eeg, dhammaantood waxay ahaayeen wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale, oo innaba faa'iido laguma arag inta qorraxda ka hoosaysa.
12 So I started to think about wisdom—and madness and foolishness. For what can anyone who comes after the king do that hasn't already been done?
Markaasaan u soo jeestay inaan xigmad iyo waalli iyo nacasnimoba fiiriyo, waayo, ninka boqorka ka dambeeya bal muxuu samayn karaa wixii hore loo sameeyey mooyaane?
13 I recognized that wisdom is better than foolishness just as light is better than darkness.
Markaasaan gartay in xigmaddu ay ka sii fiican tahay nacasnimada, sida iftiinku uu gudcurka uga fiican yahay oo kale.
14 The wise see where they're going, but fools walk in darkness. But I also realized that they all come to the same end.
Ninkii xigmadda leh indhihiisu madaxiisay ku yaallaan, oo nacasku gudcur buu ku dhex socdaa, laakiinse waxaan gartay inuu isku wax dhammaantood ku dhoco.
15 Then I thought to myself, “If I'm going to end up the same as a fool, what's the point of being so wise?” So I thought to myself, “This is also hard to understand!”
Oo haddana waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Wixii nacaska ku dhaca anigana way igu dhici doonaan, haddaba bal maxaan uga xigmad badnaaday? Markaasaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
16 Nobody remembers the wise or the fool for very long—in the future everything will be forgotten. Whether wise or foolish, they both die.
Waayo, kan xigmadda leh lama xusuusto ilaa weligiis xataa sida aan nacaska loo xusuusan, maxaa yeelay, wakhtiga soo socda waxa haatan jooga oo dhan waa la wada illoobi doonaa. Oo bal kan xigmadda lahu wuxuu u dhintaa sida nacaska oo kale!
17 So I ended up feeling disgusted with life because everything that happens here on earth is so distressing. It's so incomprehensible, like trying to control the wind.
Sidaas daraaddeed nolosha waan nacay, maxaa yeelay, shuqulka qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhammu dhib buu ii ahaa, waayo, kulli waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha.
18 I even ended up hating what I had achieved here on earth because I have to hand it over to whoever comes after me.
Wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan waan nacay, maxaa yeelay, waa inaan uga tago ninka iga dambeeya.
19 And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will rule over everything I accomplished through my wisdom here on earth. This is just so frustrating, so hard to understand!
Bal yaase yaqaan inuu ahaan doono nin xigmad leh amase nacas? Kolleyse isagaa u talin doona hawshaydii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo aan xigmad ku muujiyey oo dhan. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
20 I decided to give up, my mind in despair over the significance of all my life's achievements.
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaan uga qalbi jabay wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan.
21 For you can work wisely, knowledgably, and with skill—and who benefits? Someone who hasn't worked for it! This is both frustrating and totally unjust!
Waayo, waxaa jira nin hawshiisa xigmad, iyo aqoon, iyo guul ku sameeya, oo haddana uga taga nin aan ku hawshoon. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo xaqdarro.
22 What do you get here on earth for all your hard work and worry?
Bal maxaa nin ka helaa hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan iyo dabagalka qalbigiisaba?
23 Your working life is full of trouble and strife—even at night your thoughts keep you awake. This is tough to comprehend!
Waayo, maalmihiisa oo dhammu waa u murug, dhibaatadiisuna waa u tiiraanyo, oo xataa habeenkii qalbigiisu ma nasto. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
24 So what's the best thing to do? Eat, drink, and enjoy your work, recognizing as I did that these things are given to us by God,
Nin inuu wax cuno oo wax cabbo oo uu hawshiisa si wanaagsan ugu raaxaysto wax uga roon lama arko, oo taasna waxaan arkay inay tahay wax gacanta Ilaah ka yimid.
25 for who can eat or enjoy life apart from him?
Waayo, bal yaa wax cuni kara, yaase raaxaysan kara in iga badan?
26 To those who are good, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy. But to the sinner God gives the task of gathering and collecting wealth, only to hand it over to someone who pleases God. This also shows how fleeting life is, and hard to understand—like trying to understand how the wind blows.
Waayo, qofkii Ilaah ka farxiyo wuxuu siiyaa xigmad iyo aqoon iyo farxad, laakiinse dembilaha wuxuu siiyaa dhib inuu wax u ururiyo oo uu taallaysto si uu u siiyo kan Ilaah ka farxiya. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
