Ecclesiastes 3
1 To all things there is a time, and a season for every matter under heaven.
Wanni hundinuu yeroo qaba; hojiin samiidhaa gaditti hojjetamu hundis waqtii qaba:
2 A time of birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted;
Dhalachuuf yeroo qaba; duʼuufis yeroo qaba; dhaabuuf yeroo qaba; buqqisuufis yeroo qaba;

9 What advantage [has] he that works in those things wherein he labors?
Hojjetaan tokko dadhabbii isaa irraa buʼaa maalii argata?
10 I have seen all the trouble, which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with.
Ani baʼaa Waaqni namoota irra kaaʼe argeera.
11 All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: he has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has wrought from the beginning even 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 no good in them, except [for a man] to rejoice, and to do 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 Also [in the case of] every man who shall eat and drink, and see good in all his labor, [this] is a gift of God.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa nyaatee dhugee buʼaa hojii isaa hundatti gammaduun kennaa Waaqaa ti.
14 I know that whatever things God has done, they shall be for ever: it is impossible to add to it, and it is impossible to take away from it: and God has done [it], that [men] may fear 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 That which has been is now; and whatever things [are appointed] to be have already been; and God will seek out that which is past.
Wanni amma jiru kam iyyuu duraanuu tureera; wanni dhufuuf jirus duraanuu jira ture; Waaqni waan darbes deebisee fida.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, there was the ungodly one; and the place of righteousness, there was the godly one.
Anis aduudhaa gaditti waan biraa nan arge; kunis: Iddoo murtiin qajeelaan jiraachuu malu, hamminatu ture; iddoo qajeelummaan jiraachuu malu immoo jalʼinatu ture.
17 And I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the ungodly: for there is a time there for every action and for every work.
Ani garaa koo keessatti akkana jedheen yaade; “Waaqni qajeeltotaa fi hamoota, gara murtiitti ni fida; wanni hundinuu, hojiin hundinuus yeroo ni qabaatii.”
18 I said in my heart, concerning the speech of the sons of man, God will judge them, and that to show that they are breasts.
Ani amma illee akkana jedhee garaa koo keessatti nan yaade; “Waaqni akka isaan akkuma bineensotaa taʼuu isaanii arganiif ilmaan namaa qora.
19 Also to them is the event of the sons of man, and the event of the brute; one event befalls them: as is the death of the one, so also the death of the other; and there is one breath to all: and what has the man more than the brute? nothing; for all is vanity.
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 [go] to one place; all were formed of the dust, and all will return to dust.
Isaan hundi idduma tokko dhaqu; hundinuu biyyoo irraa dhufan; hundinuus biyyootti deebiʼu.
21 And who has seen the spirit of the sons of man, whether it goes upward? and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?
Akka hafuurri namaa ol baʼee hafuurri bineensaa immoo lafa keessa seenu eenyutu beeka?”
22 And I saw that there was no good, but that wherein a man shall rejoice in his works, for it is his portion, for who shall bring him to see any thing of that which shall be 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?
