Ecclesiastes 3
1 To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
Wanni hundinuu yeroo qaba; hojiin samiidhaa gaditti hojjetamu hundis waqtii qaba:
2 A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted.
Dhalachuuf yeroo qaba; duʼuufis yeroo qaba; dhaabuuf yeroo qaba; buqqisuufis yeroo qaba;
3 A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
ajjeesuuf yeroo qaba; fayyisuufis yeroo qaba; diiguuf yeroo qaba; ijaaruufis yeroo qaba;
4 A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
booʼuuf yeroo qaba; kolfuufis yeroo qaba; gadduuf yeroo qaba; sirbuufis yeroo qaba;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.
dhagaa bittinneessuuf yeroo qaba; walitti qabuufis yeroo qaba; hammachuuf yeroo qaba; hammachuu dhiisuufis yeroo qaba;
6 A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
barbaaduuf yeroo qaba; barbaaduu dhiisuufis yeroo qaba; kaaʼuuf yeroo qaba; gatuufis yeroo qaba;
7 A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
tarsaasuuf yeroo qaba; hodhuufis yeroo qaba; calʼisuuf yeroo qaba; dubbachuufis yeroo qaba;
8 A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
jaallachuun yeroo qaba; jibbuufis yeroo qaba; loluuf yeroo qaba; nagaafis yeroo qaba.
9 What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
Hojjetaan tokko dadhabbii isaa irraa buʼaa maalii argata?
10 I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
Ani baʼaa Waaqni namoota irra kaaʼe argeera.
11 He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.
Inni waan hunda yeruma isaatti miidhagsee tolcheera. Akkasumas yaada baraa baraa garaa namootaa keessa kaaʼe. Taʼus isaan waan Waaqni jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjete beekuu hin dandaʼan.
12 I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
Ani akka namootaaf bara jireenya isaanii keessa wanni gammaduu fi waan gaarii hojjechuu caalu tokko iyyuu hin jirre nan beeka.
13 And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa nyaatee dhugee buʼaa hojii isaa hundatti gammaduun kennaa Waaqaa ti.
14 I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
Ani akka wanni Waaqni hojjetu hundi bara baraan jiraatu beeka; wanni tokko illee itti hin dabalamu; wanni tokko iyyuus irraa hin fudhatamu. Waaqni akka namoonni isa sodaataniif waan kana godha.
15 What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
Wanni amma jiru kam iyyuu duraanuu tureera; wanni dhufuuf jirus duraanuu jira ture; Waaqni waan darbes deebisee fida.
16 And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
Anis aduudhaa gaditti waan biraa nan arge; kunis: Iddoo murtiin qajeelaan jiraachuu malu, hamminatu ture; iddoo qajeelummaan jiraachuu malu immoo jalʼinatu ture.
17 I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.
Ani garaa koo keessatti akkana jedheen yaade; “Waaqni qajeeltotaa fi hamoota, gara murtiitti ni fida; wanni hundinuu, hojiin hundinuus yeroo ni qabaatii.”
18 I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.
Ani amma illee akkana jedhee garaa koo keessatti nan yaade; “Waaqni akka isaan akkuma bineensotaa taʼuu isaanii arganiif ilmaan namaa qora.
19 For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
Wanni nama irra gaʼu, bineensota irras ni gaʼa; lachan isaanii iyyuu waanuma tokkotu eeggata; akkuma inni tokko duʼu, inni kaanis ni duʼa. Hundi isaanii hafuuruma tokko qabu; namni bineensa caalaa faayidaa argatu tokko illee hin qabu. Wanni hundinuu faayidaa hin qabu.
20 All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
Isaan hundi idduma tokko dhaqu; hundinuu biyyoo irraa dhufan; hundinuus biyyootti deebiʼu.
21 Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
Akka hafuurri namaa ol baʼee hafuurri bineensaa immoo lafa keessa seenu eenyutu beeka?”
22 Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
Kanaafuu ani sababii wanni sun ixaa isaa taʼeef akka namaaf wanni hojii isaatti gammaduu caalu tokko iyyuu hin jirre nan arge. Akka inni waan isa duubaan taʼu arguuf eenyutu isa fiduu dandaʼa?
