Ecclesiastes 9
1 I had my mind consider all this. Wise and good people and everything they do are in God's hands. Love or hate—who knows what will happen to them?
Waxyaalahan oo dhan qalbigaygaan kaga fiirsaday si aan u baadho in kuwa xaqa ah iyo kuwa xigmadda leh, iyo shuqulladooduba ay gacanta Ilaah ku jiraan. Binu-aadmigu garan maayo inay jacayl tahay iyo inay nacayb tahay toona. Wax waluba iyagay ka horreeyaan.
2 Yet we all share the same destiny—those who do right, those who do evil, the good, the religiously-observant and those that are not, those who sacrifice and those who don't. Those who do good are as those who sin, those who make vows to God are as those who don't.
Wax kastaaba isku si bay dadka oo dhan ugu yimaadaan, oo isku wax baa ku dhaca ka xaqa ah iyo ka sharka ahba, ka wanaagsan iyo ka xunba, ka nadiifta ah iyo ka aan nadiifta ahaynba, ka allabariga bixiya iyo ka aan allabariga bixinba. Sida kan wanaagsanu yahay ayaa dembiluhuna yahay, oo ka dhaartaana waa la mid kan dhaarta ka cabsada.
3 This is just so wrong—that everyone here on earth should suffer the same fate! On top of that, people's minds are filled with evil. They spend their lives thinking about stupid things, and then they die.
Wax xun baa ku jira waxa qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan, waana in isku wax ay dadka oo dhan ku dhacaan. Oo weliba qalbiga binu-aadmiga shar baa ka buuxa, oo qalbigoodana intay nool yihiin waalli baa ku jirta, oo taas dabadeedna kuwii dhintay ayay u tagaan.
4 But the living still have hope—a live dog is better than a dead lion!
Kii kuwa nool oo dhan la jira rajuu leeyahay, waayo, eeygii noolu waa ka wanaagsan yahay libaax dhintay.
5 The living are conscious of the fact that they're going to die, but the dead have no consciousness of anything. They don't receive any further benefit; they're forgotten.
Waayo, kuwa noolu way og yihiin inay dhiman doonaan, laakiinse kuwa dhintay waxba ma oga, oo innaba abaalgud dambe ma heli doonaan, waayo, iyaga waa la illoobay.
6 Their love, hate, and envy—it's all gone. They have no further part in anything that happens here on earth.
Oo weliba jacaylkoodii iyo nacaybkoodii iyo hinaasiddoodiiba way wada baabbe'een, oo innaba qayb dambe kuma lahaan doonaan waxa qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan.
7 So go ahead and eat your food, and enjoy it. Drink your wine with a happy heart. That's what God intends that you should do.
Orod oo tag, oo kibistaada farxad ku cun, oo khamrigaagana qalbi istareexsan ku cab, waayo, Ilaah shuqulladaadii horuu u aqbalay.
8 Always wear smart clothes and look good.
Had iyo goorba dharkaagu wax cad ha ahaado, oo madaxaaguna yuusan saliid waayin.
9 Enjoy life with the wife that you love—the one God gave you—during all the days of this brief life, all these passing days whose meaning is so hard to understand as you work here on earth.
Naagtaada aad jeceshahay farxad kula noolow intaad ku nooshahay cimrigaaga aan waxba tarayn ee Ilaah qorraxda hoosteeda kugu siiyey oo dhan, waayo, taasu waa qaybtaadii aad ku heshay noloshan iyo hawshaadii aad qorraxda hoosteeda ku dhibtootay.
10 Whatever you do, do it with all your strength, for when you go to the grave there's no more working or thinking, no more knowing or being wise. (Sheol h7585)
Wax alla wixii gacantaadu hesho inay samayso xooggaaga oo dhan ku samee, waayo, She'ool oo aad tegaysid shuqul iyo hindiso iyo aqoon iyo xigmad toona laguma arko. (Sheol h7585)
11 I thought about other things that happen here on earth. Races are not always won by the fastest runner. Battles are not always decided by the strongest warrior. Also, the wise do not always have food, intelligent people do not always make money, and those who are clever do not always win favor. Time and chance affect all of them.
Markaasaan mar kale fiirsaday, oo waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay inaan kuwa dheereeyaa mar kasta tartanka ku badin, ama aan kuwa xoogga badanu mar kasta dagaalka adkaan, ama aan kuwa xigmadda lahu mar kasta kibis helin, ama aan kuwa garaadka ahu mar kasta hodan noqon, ama aan saanacyada mar kasta raalli laga ahayn, laakiinse waxaa kulligood hela wakhti iyo nasiib.
12 You can't predict when your end will come. Just like fish caught in a net, or birds caught in a trap, so people are suddenly caught by death when they least expect it.
Waayo, ninna wedkiisa ma yaqaan. Sida kalluun shabag xun lagu qabto, iyo sida shimbirro dabin ku dhaca, saasoo kalaa binu-aadmigana wakhti xun lagu dabaa, markii wedku si kedis ah ugu yimaado.
13 Here's another aspect of wisdom that impressed me about what happens here on earth.
Oo xigmad caynkan ah ayaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, iyana way ila weynayd.
14 Once there was a small town with only a few inhabitants. A powerful king came and besieged the town, building great earth ramps against its walls.
Waxaa jirtay magaalo yar oo ay dad tiro yaru dhexdeeda joogaan, oo waxaa iyadii ku soo duulay boqor weyn. Wuu hareereeyey oo dhufayso waaweyn hareereheeda ka dhistay.
15 In that town lived a man who was wise, but poor. He saved the town by his wisdom. But no one remembered to thank that poor man.
Haddana waxaa laga dhex helay nin miskiin ah oo xigmad leh, oo isna xigmaddiisii ayuu magaaladii ku samatabbixiyey, laakiinse haddana ninkaas miskiinka ah ciduna ma xusuusan.
16 As I've always said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Yet the wisdom of that poor man was dismissed—people didn't pay attention to what he said.
Markaasaan idhi, Xigmaddu xoogga way ka fiican tahay, hase ahaatee ninkii miskiin ah xigmaddiisa waa la quudhsadaa, oo erayadiisana lama dhegaysto.
17 It's better to listen to the calm words of a wise person than the shouts of a ruler of fools.
Kuwa xigmadda leh erayadoodii xasilloonaan lagu maqlaa waa ka sii wanaagsan yihiin qaylada kan nacasyada ka dhex taliya.
18 It's better to have wisdom than weapons of war; but a sinner can destroy a lot of good.
Xigmaddu waa ka fiican tahay hubka dagaalka, laakiinse dembile qudha ayaa wax badan oo wanaagsan baabbi'iya.
