Ecclesiastes 9
1 I have surely giuen mine heart to all this, and to declare all this, that the iust, and the wise, and their workes are in the hand of God: and no man knoweth eyther loue or hatred of all that is before them.
Kanaafuu ani waan kana hunda garaatti qabadhee akka qajeelaan, ogeessii fi hojiiwwan isaanii harka Waaqaa keessa jiran nan hubadhe; garuu namni tokko iyyuu akka jaalalli yookaan jibbi isa eeggatu hin beeku.
2 All things come alike to all: and the same condition is to the iust and to the wicked, to the good and to the pure, and to the polluted, and to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner, he that sweareth, as he that feareth an othe.
Nama qajeelaa fi jalʼaa, nama gaarii fi hamaa, nama qulqulluu fi xuraaʼaa, warra aarsaa dhiʼeessanii fi warra hin dhiʼeessine hunda galgalli isaanii tokkuma. Waanuma nama gaarii irra gaʼutu, cubbammaa irras gaʼa; waanuma warra kakuu seenan irra gaʼutu, warri kakuu seenuu sodaatan irra gaʼa.
3 This is euill among all that is done vnder the sunne, that there is one condition to all, and also the heart of the sonnes of men is full of euill, and madnes is in their heartes whiles they liue, and after that, they goe to the dead.
Hamminni waan aduudhaa gaditti taʼu hunda keessa jiru kanaa dha: Galgalli nama hundaa tokkoo dha. Kana malees garaan namootaa hamminaan guutameera; bara jireenya isaanii keessas maraatummaatu garaa isaanii keessa jira; ergasii isaan warra duʼanitti dabalamu.
4 Surely whosoeuer is ioyned to all ye liuing, there is hope: for it is better to a liuing dog, then to a dead lyon.
Namni warra lubbuun jiran hundatti dabalamu kam iyyuu abdii qaba. Leenca duʼee mannaa saree lubbuun jirtu wayyaatii!
5 For the liuing knowe that they shall dye, but the dead knowe nothing at all: neither haue they any more a rewarde: for their remembrance is forgotten.
Warri lubbuun jiran akka duʼan ni beekuutii; warri duʼan garuu homaa hin beekan; isaan siʼachi gatii hin qaban; yaadannoon isaanii iyyuu ni irraanfatama.
6 Also their loue, and their hatred, and their enuie is now perished, and they haue no more portion for euer, in all that is done vnder the sunne.
Jaalalli isaanii, jibbi isaaniitii fi hinaaffaan isaanii erga badee tureera; isaan waan aduudhaa gaditti taʼu kam iyyuu keessatti lammata qooda hin qabaatan.
7 Goe, eate thy bread with ioy, and drinke thy wine with a cheerefull heart: for God nowe accepteth thy workes.
Sababii Waaqni waan ati hojjettetti gammadeef dhaqiitii nyaata kee gammachuudhaan nyaadhu; daadhii wayinii keetiis garaa gammadduun dhugi.
8 At all times let thy garments be white, and let not oyle be lacking vpon thine head.
Yeroo hunda uffata adii uffadhu; zayitiinis mataa kee irraa hin dhabamin.
9 Reioyce with the wife whom thou hast loued all the dayes of the life of thy vanitie, which God hath giuen thee vnder the sunne all the dayes of thy vanitie: for this is thy portion in the life, and in thy trauaile wherein thou labourest vnder the sunne.
Bara jireenyaa kan faayidaa hin qabne, kan Waaqni aduudhaa gaditti siif kenne kana hunda bara kee kan faayidaa hin qabne hunda keessatti haadha manaa kee kan jaallattu wajjin gammachuudhaan jiraadhu. Jireenyaa fi hojii ati aduudhaa gaditti itti dadhabde sanaaf qoodni kee kanumaatii.
10 All that thine hand shall finde to doe, doe it with all thy power: for there is neither worke nor inuention, nor knowledge, nor wisedome in the graue whither thou goest. (Sheol h7585)
Waan harki kee hojjechuu dandaʼu hunda humna kee guutuudhaan hojjedhu; awwaala ati itti deemuuf jirtu keessa hojiin yookaan yaadni yookaan beekumsi yookaan ogummaan hin jiruutii. (Sheol h7585)
11 I returned, and I sawe vnder the sunne that the race is not to the swift, nor the battell to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor also riches to men of vnderstanding, neither yet fauour to men of knowledge: but time and chance commeth to them all.
Ani aduudhaa gaditti waan biraa argeera: Fiigichi warra saffisaniif yookaan lolli irree jabeeyyiif miti; yookaan nyaanni ogeeyyiif yookaan qabeenyi hubattootaaf yookaan fudhatama argachuun beektotaaf miti; yeroo fi carraan hunda isaanii argata.
12 For neither doth man knowe his time, but as the fishes which are taken in an euill net, and as the birdes that are caught in the snare: so are the children of men snared in the euill time when it falleth vpon them suddenly.
Namni tokko iyyuu yeroon isaa yoom akka taʼe hin beeku: Akkuma qurxummiin kiyyoo hamaadhaan qabamu, yookaan akkuma simbirri kiyyoodhaan qabamtu sana namoonnis bara hamaa akkuma tasaa isaanitti dhufuun qabamu.
13 I haue also seene this wisedome vnder the sunne, and it is great vnto me.
Ani amma illee fakkeenya ogummaa kan akka malee na dinqisiise kana aduudhaa gaditti nan arge:
14 A litle citie and fewe men in it, and a great King came against it, and compassed it about, and builded fortes against it.
Magaalaa xinnoo namoonni muraasni keessa jiraatan tokkotu ture. Mootiin jabaan tokkos isheetti baʼee marse; koobii biyyoo guddaa naannessee itti ijaare.
15 And there was founde therein a poore and wise man, and he deliuered the citie by his wisedome: but none remembred this poore man.
Yeroo sanatti hiyyeessa ogeessa tokkotu magaalaa sana keessa jiraachaa ture; innis ogummaa isaatiin magaalattii baraare. Namni tokko iyyuu garuu hiyyeessa sana hin yaadanne.
16 Then said I, Better is wisdome then strength: yet the wisedome of the poore is despised, and his wordes are not heard.
Kanaafuu ani, “Jabina irra ogummaa wayya” nan jedhe. Ogummaan hiyyeessa sanaa garuu ni tuffatame; dubbiin isaas fudhatama hin arganne.
17 The wordes of the wise are more heard in quietnes, then the crye of him that ruleth among fooles.
Iyya bulchaa gowwootaa irra hasaasa ogeessaatu dhagaʼama.
18 Better is wisedome then weapons of warre: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Meeshaalee waraanaa irra ogummaa wayya; cubbamaan tokko garuu waan gaarii hedduu balleessa.
