Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said in mine heart, Goe to nowe, I will proue thee with ioy: therefore take thou pleasure in pleasant things: and beholde, this also is vanitie.
Ani garaa koo keessatti, “Ani waan gaarii barbaaduudhaaf gammachuudhaan sin qoraatii mee kottu” jedheen yaade. Garuu wanni kunis waan faayidaa hin qabne taʼuu isaa nan mirkaneeffadhe.
2 I saide of laughter, Thou art mad: and of ioy, What is this that thou doest?
Anis, “Kolfi gowwummaa dha; gammachuunis maal fayyada?” nan jedhe.
3 I sought in mine heart to giue my selfe to wine, and to leade mine heart in wisdome, and to take holde of follie, till I might see where is that goodnesse of the children of men, which they enioy vnder the sunne: the whole nomber of the dayes of their life.
Anis utuma qalbiin koo ogummaadhaan na qajeelchaa jiruu gowwummaa qabadhee daadhii wayiniitiin of gammachiisu nan yaale. Waan namoonni bara jireenya isaanii muraasa keessatti samii gaditti hojjetan arguu nan fedhe.
4 I haue made my great workes: I haue built me houses: I haue planted me vineyards.
Ani hojii guddaa nan hojjedhe: Manneen ijaarradhee wayiniis dhaabadhe.
5 I haue made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them trees of all fruite.
Ani iddoo biqiltuutii fi iddoo bashannanaa qopheeffadhee mukkeen ija naqatan kanneen gosa hundaa achi keessa nan dhaabadhe.
6 I haue made me cisternes of water, to water therewith the woods that growe with trees.
Bosona mukkeen guddachaa jiranii ittiin obaafachuufis kuusaa bishaanii nan qopheeffadhe.
7 I haue gotten seruants and maides, and had children borne in the house: also I had great possession of beeues and sheepe aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem.
Ani garboota dhiiraa fi dubartii nan bitadhe; garboota mana kootti dhalatan biraas nan qabaadhe; nama naan dura Yerusaalem keessa jiraate kam iyyuu caalaas loonii fi bushaayee hedduu nan horadhe.
8 I haue gathered vnto me also siluer and gold, and the chiefe treasures of Kings and prouinces: I haue prouided me men singers and women singers, and the delites of the sonnes of men, as a woman taken captiue, and women taken captiues.
Ani meetii fi warqee, qabeenya moototaatii fi kutaawwan biyyaa walitti nan qabadhe. Ani faarfattoota dhiiraa fi dubartii akkasumas saajjatoowwan nama gammachiisan hedduu qaban ture.
9 And I was great, and increased aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem: also my wisedome remained with me.
Kanaafuu ani akka malee guddadhee nama anaan dura Yerusaalem keessa ture kam iyyuu caale. Waan kana hunda keessatti ogummaan koo anuma wajjin ture.
10 And whatsoeuer mine eyes desired, I withheld it not from them: I withdrew not mine heart from any ioy: for mine heart reioyced in al my labour: and this was my portion of all my trauaile.
Ani waan iji koo hawwe hunda isa hin dhowwine; garaa koos gammachuu tokko illee hin lagne. Garaan koo hojii koo hundatti gammade; kunis dadhabbii koo hundaaf badhaasa ture.
11 Then I looked on all my workes that mine hands had wrought, and on the trauaile that I had laboured to doe: and beholde, all is vanitie and vexation of the spirit: and there is no profite vnder the sunne.
Taʼus ani yeroon waan harki koo hojjete hundaa fi waanan argachuuf jedhee itti dadhabe hubadhee ilaaletti, wanni hundi akkuma bubbee ariʼuuti malee faayidaa hin qabu ture; aduudhaa gaditti buʼaan tokko iyyuu hin turre.
12 And I turned to beholde wisedome, and madnes and follie: (for who is the man that will come after the King in things, which men nowe haue done?)
Anis yaada koo gara ogummaa, maraatummaa fi gowwummaa hubachuutti nan deebifadhe. Namni mootii iddoo buʼu tokko waan duraan hojjetame caalaa maal gochuu dandaʼa?
13 Then I saw that there is profite in wisdome, more then in follie: as the light is more excellent then darkenes.
Ani akkuma ifni dukkana irra wayyu sana, akka ogummaan gowwummaa irra wayyu nan arge.
14 For the wise mans eyes are in his head, but the foole walketh in darknes: yet I know also that the same condition falleth to them all.
Ogeessi mataa isaa keessaa ija qaba; gowwaan garuu dukkana keessa deema; ani garuu akka galgalli isaan lamaanii tokkuma taʼe nan hubadhe.
15 Then I thought in mine heart, It befalleth vnto me, as it befalleth to ye foole. Why therefore doe I then labour to be more wise? And I sayd in mine heart, that this also is vanitie.
Ergasii ani akkana jedheen garaa koo keessatti nan yaade; “Wanni gowwaa quunname, anaanis ni quunnama; yoos ani ogeessa taʼuudhaan maalan argadha ree?” Ani garaa koo keessatti, “Kunis faayidaa hin qabu” nan jedhe.
16 For there shalbe no remembrance of the wise, nor of the foole for euer: for that that now is, in the dayes to come shall all be forgotten. And howe dyeth the wise man, as doeth the foole?
Ogeessi akkuma gowwaa yeroo dheeraaf hin yaadatamuutii; bara dhufuuf jiru keessa isaan lachuu ni irraanfatamu. Ogeessis akkuma gowwaa duʼuu qaba!
17 Therefore I hated life: for the worke that is wrought vnder the sunne is grieuous vnto me: for all is vanitie, and vexation of the spirit.
Sababii wanni aduu gaditti hojjetamu na gaddisiiseef ani jireenya nan jibbe; kun hundinuu bubbee ariʼuu dha; faayidaas hin qabu.
18 I hated also all my labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne, which I shall leaue to the man that shalbe after me.
Ani sababii nama ana duubaan dhufuuf waan kana dhiisuu qabuuf, waanan aduudhaa gaditti itti dadhabe hunda nan jibbe.
19 And who knoweth whether he shalbe wise or foolish? yet shall hee haue rule ouer all my labour, wherein I haue trauailed, and wherein I haue shewed my selfe wise vnder the sunne. This is also vanitie.
Eenyutu akka inni ogeessa yookaan gowwaa taʼu beeka? Taʼus inni hojii ani aduudhaa gaditti yaalii fi ogummaa koo itti dhangalaase hundatti abbaa taʼa. Kunis faayidaa hin qabu.
20 Therefore I went about to make mine heart abhorre all the labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne.
Kanaafuu garaan koo sababii hojii koo dadhabsiisaa ani aduudhaa gaditti itti dadhabe hundaatiif abdii kutachuu jalqabe.
21 For there is a man whose trauaile is in wisdome, and in knowledge and in equitie: yet to a man that hath not trauailed herein, shall he giue his portion: this also is vanitie and a great griefe.
Namni tokko hojii isaa ogummaan, beekumsaa fi harka toliisaan hojjetee ergasii immoo waan qabu hunda nama homaa itti hin dadhabiniif dhiisuu qabaatii. Wanni kunis faayidaa hin qabu; hammina guddaadhas.
22 For what hath man of all his trauaile and griefe of his heart, wherein he hath trauailed vnder the sunne?
Namni tokko dadhabbii isaatiif yaalii cimaa aduudhaa gaditti godhe sana hundaaf maal argata?
23 For all his dayes are sorowes, and his trauaile griefe: his heart also taketh not rest in the night: which also is vanitie.
Hojiin isaa bara jireenya isaa hunda rakkinaa fi gadda; sammuun isaa halkan iyyuu hin boqotu. Kunis waan faayidaa hin qabnee dha.
24 There is no profit to man: but that he eate, and drinke, and delight his soule with the profit of his labour: I saw also this, that it was of the hand of God.
Namni nyaatee dhugee hojii isaatti gammaduu caalaa homaa gochuu hin dandaʼu. Ani akka wanni kun harka Waaqaatii dhufe nan arge;
25 For who could eate, and who could haste to outward things more then I?
Waaqaan malee eenyutu nyaachuu yookaan gammaduu dandaʼa?
26 Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giueth wisdome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner he giueth paine, to gather, and to heape to giue to him that is good before God: this is also vanitie, and vexation of the spirit.
Waaqni nama isa gammachiisuuf ogummaa, beekumsaa fi gammachuu kenna; nama cubbamaa garuu akka inni namicha Waaqa gammachiisuuf kennuuf jedhee hojii qabeenya walitti qabuutii fi kuusuu hojjetu godha. Kunis bubbee ariʼuu dha; faayidaas hin qabu.
