Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep your foot when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Ati yeroo gara mana Waaqaa dhaqxu tarkaanfii kee eeggadhu. Dhaggeeffachuuf dhiʼaachuun aarsaa gowwootaa dhiʼeessuu caala; isaan akka hammina hojjechaa jiran hin beekaniitii.
2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and you on earth: therefore let your words be few.
Fuula Waaqaa duratti waan tokko dubbachuuf afaan keetiin hin jarjarin; garaan kees hin ariifatin. Waaqni samii keessa jira; ati immoo lafa irra jirta; kanaafuu dubbiin kee haa gabaabbatu.
3 For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
Abjuun baayʼina hojiitiin dhufa; haasaan gowwaas baayʼina dubbiitiin beekama.
4 When you vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.
Ati yeroo wareega tokko Waaqaaf wareegdutti wareega sana of irraa baasuuf lafa irra hin harkifatin. Inni gowwootatti hin gammadu; ati wareega kee of irraa baasi.
5 Better is it that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
Wareeganii of irraa baasuu dhiisuu mannaa wareeguu dhiisuu wayya.
6 Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
Afaan kee cubbuu keessa si hin buusin. Ergamaa mana qulqullummaatiinis, “Wareegni koo dogoggora ture” hin jedhin. Waaqni maaliif waan ati jettetti aaree hojii harka keetii balleessa?
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear you God.
Abjuun baayʼeenii fi dubbiin baayʼeen faayidaa hin qaban. Kanaafuu Waaqa sodaadhu.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regards; and there be higher than they.
Ati yoo hiyyeessa aanaa tokko keessatti hacuucamee murtii qajeelaa fi mirgi dhowwatame argite, waan akkanaa hin dinqisiifatin; qondaalli tokko qondaala isaa oliitiin ilaalaamaatii; isaaniin olittis qondaaltonni biraa jiru.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
Faayidaan lafa irraa argamu kan nama hundaa ti; mootichi mataan isaa iyyuu qonna lafaa irraa fayyadama.
10 He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
Nama maallaqa jaalatu kam iyyuu maallaqni isa hin gaʼu; nama qabeenya jaalatu illee galiin isaa isa hin quubsu. Kunis faayidaa hin qabu.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
Akkuma qabeenyi baayʼatuun, warri nyaatanis ni baayʼatu. Yoos abbootiin qabeenyaa ijumaan ilaaluu malee faayidaa maalii argatu ree?
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Xinnaas nyaatu, guddaas nyaatu, hirribni hojjetaa tokkoo miʼaawaa dha; baayʼinni qabeenyaa garuu sooressa tokko hirriba dhowwa.
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
Ani aduudhaa gaditti hammina nama gaddisiisu nan arge; kunis: qabeenya abbuma isaa miidhuuf kuufame,
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
yookaan qabeenya milkii dhabuudhaan badee yeroo namichi sun ilma dhalchetti ilma isaatiif homaa hin hafinii dha.
15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
Namni qullaadhuma isaa gadameessa haadha isaatii baʼa; inni akkuma dhufetti deebiʼee deema. Inni waan itti dadhabe keessaa waan tokko illee harkatti qabatee hin deemu.
16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has labored for the wind?
Kunis hammina nama gaddisiisuu dha: Namni akkuma dhufetti deema; inni waan bubbeedhaaf dadhabuuf faayidaa maalii argata?
17 All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Inni bara jireenya isaa hunda yaaddoo, dhukkubbii fi aarii guddaadhaan dukkana keessatti nyaata.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion.
Anis akka namni bara jireenya isaa kan Waaqni isaaf kenne gabaabaa kana keessa nyaatee dhugee hojii isaa kan aduudhaa gaditti itti dadhabe sanatti illee gammaduun isaaf gaarii fi barbaachisaa taʼe nan hubadhe; qoodni isaa kanumaatii.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
Akkasumas Waaqni nama kamiifuu badhaadhummaa fi qabeenya kennee akka inni itti gammadu, akka inni qooda ofii isaa fudhatee hojii ofii isaatti gammadu isa godhuun isaa, kennaa Waaqaa ti.
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart.
Sababii Waaqni garaa isaa gammachuudhaan guuteef inni bara jireenya isaa baayʼee hin yaadatu.
