Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? the wisedome of a man doth make his face to shine: and the strength of his face shalbe changed.
Kan akka nama ogeessaa eenyu? Eenyutu hiikkaa waan tokkoo beeka? Ogummaan fuula namaa ibsa; nyaara guurames ni hiika.
2 I aduertise thee to take heede to ye mouth of the King, and to the worde of the othe of God.
Ati sababii fuula Waaqaa duratti kakuu galteef ajaja mootii eegi.
3 Haste not to goe forth of his sight: stand not in an euill thing: for he will doe whatsoeuer pleaseth him.
Fuula mootii duraa deemuuf hin jarjarin. Waan hamaa keessatti hin hirmaatin; inni waan fedhe kam iyyuu ni godhaatii.
4 Where the word of ye King is, there is power, and who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?
Sababii dubbiin mootii waan hundaa ol taʼeef eenyutu, “Ati maal hojjechaa jirta?” isaan jechuu dandaʼa?
5 He that keepeth the commandement, shall knowe none euill thing, and the heart of the wise shall knowe the time and iudgement.
Namni ajaja mootii eegu kam iyyuu hin miidhamu; qalbiin ogeessaa immoo yeroo fi haala mijaaʼaa beeka.
6 For to euery purpose there is a time and iudgement, because the miserie of man is great vpon him.
Rakkinni namaa akka malee isatti ulfaatu iyyuu wanni hundi yeroo fi haala mijaaʼaa qabaatii.
7 For he knoweth not that which shalbe: for who can tell him when it shalbe?
Sababii namni tokko iyyuu waan eger taʼu hin beekneef, eenyutu waan dhufuuf jiru isatti himuu dandaʼa?
8 Man is not lorde ouer the spirit to retaine the spirite: neither hath hee power in the day of death, nor deliuerance in the battell, neither shall wickednesse deliuer the possessers thereof.
Namni tokko iyyuu hafuura isaa of keessatti dhowwuu hin dandaʼu; kanaafuu eenyu iyyuu guyyaa duʼa isaa irratti humna hin qabu. Akkuma namni tokko yeroo waraanaatti duula keessaa hin ariʼamne sana, hamminnis warra isa hojjetu gad hin dhiisu.
9 All this haue I seene, and haue giuen mine heart to euery worke, which is wrought vnder the sunne, and I sawe a time that man ruleth ouer man to his owne hurt.
Anis qalbii koo gara waan aduudhaa gaditti hojjetamu hundaatti deebifadhee waan kana hunda nan arge. Yeroon namni tokko warra kaan humnaan nan bulcha jedhee ofuma miidhu jira.
10 And likewise I sawe the wicked buried, and they returned, and they that came from the holy place, were yet forgotten in the citie where they had done right: this also is vanitie.
Ergasiis ani hamoota iddoo qulqulluu seenanii baʼaa turan sana akka isaan awwaalaman nan arge; isaanis magaalaa itti waan akkasii hojjetan keessatti ni jajamu ture. Kunis faayidaa hin qabu.
11 Because sentence against an euill worke is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to doe euill.
Sababii yakka hojjetame tokkootiif adabbiin dafee hin kennamneef, garaan namootaa mala hammina hojjechuutiin guutama.
12 Though a sinner doe euill an hundreth times, and God prolongeth his dayes, yet I knowe that it shalbe well with them that feare the Lord, and doe reuerence before him.
Cubbamaan tokko yeroo dhibba yakka hojjetee bara dheeraa jiraatu iyyuu, ani akka namoonni Waaqa sodaatan kanneen sodaadhaan fuula isaa dura jiraatan nagaa qabaatan nan beeka.
13 But it shall not be well to the wicked, neither shall he prolong his dayes: he shall be like a shadowe, because he feareth not before God.
Taʼus hamoonni sababii Waaqa hin sodaanneef nagaa hin qabaatan; barri jireenya isaaniis akka gaaddidduu hin dheeratu.
14 There is a vanitie, which is done vpon the earth, that there be righteous men to whom it commeth according to the worke of the wicked: and there be wicked men to whom it commeth according to the worke of the iust: I thought also that this is vanitie.
Waan faayidaa hin qabne kan lafa irratti taʼu tokkotu jira; kunis qajeeltota waan hamootaaf malu argatanii fi hamoota waan qajeeltotaaf malu argatanii dha. Ani wanni kun faayidaa hin qabu nan jedha.
15 And I praysed ioy: for there is no goodnesse to man vnder the sunne, saue to eate and to drinke and to reioyce: for this is adioyned to his labour, the dayes of his life that God hath giuen him vnder the sunne.
Kanaafuu namaaf wanni aduudhaa gaditti nyaachuu, dhuguu fi gammaduu caalu tokko iyyuu sababii hin jirreef ani akka namni jireenyatti gammadu nan gorsa. Akkasiin bara jireenya isaa kan Waaqni aduudhaa gaditti kenneef hunda keessatti hojii isaa irratti gammachuun isa duukaa buʼa.
16 When I applied mine heart to knowe wisedome, and to behold the busines that is done on earth, that neither day nor night the eyes of man take sleepe,
Ani yommuun qalbii koo gara ogummaa beekuu fi hojii namni utuu iji isaa halkanii fi guyyaa hirriba hin argatin hojjetu ilaaluutti deebifadhetti,
17 Then I behelde the whole worke of God, that man cannot finde out ye worke that is wrought vnder the sunne: for the which man laboureth to seeke it, and cannot finde it: yea, and though the wise man thinke to knowe it, he cannot finde it.
waan Waaqni hojjete hunda nan arge. Namni tokko iyyuu waan aduudhaa gaditti taʼaa jiru hubachuu hin dandaʼu. Namni waan kana bira gaʼuuf tattaaffatu iyyuu hiikkaa isaa argachuu hin dandaʼu. Ogeessi waan beeku yoo of seʼe illee inni dhugumaan hubachuu hin dandaʼu.
