Ecclesiastes 5
1 Look well to thy feet, when thou goest to the house of God, and draw nigh to hear, rather than to offer sacrifice as 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 hasty with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be swift to utter any thing before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth. Therefore let thy 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 cometh with much bustle, and a fool's voice with a multitude of words.
Abjuun baayʼina hojiitiin dhufa; haasaan gowwaas baayʼina dubbiitiin beekama.
4 When thou vowest a vow to God, delay not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou hast 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 thou shouldst not vow than that thou shouldst vow and not pay.
Wareeganii of irraa baasuu dhiisuu mannaa wareeguu dhiisuu wayya.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to bring punishment on thy flesh, and say not before the angel, “It was a mistake.” Wherefore should God be angry on account of thy voice, and destroy the work of thy 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 a multitude of dreams is a multitude of vanities; so also in a multitude of words; but fear thou God!
Abjuun baayʼeenii fi dubbiin baayʼeen faayidaa hin qaban. Kanaafuu Waaqa sodaadhu.
8 If thou seest oppression of the poor, and justice and equity perverted in a province, be not alarmed at the matter. For over the high there is a higher, who watcheth, and there is one higher than they all.
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 An advantage to a land in all respects is a king over cultivated ground.
Faayidaan lafa irraa argamu kan nama hundaa ti; mootichi mataan isaa iyyuu qonna lafaa irraa fayyadama.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; and he that loveth riches shall have no profit from them. This also is 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 advantage hath the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes?
Akkuma qabeenyi baayʼatuun, warri nyaatanis ni baayʼatu. Yoos abbootiin qabeenyaa ijumaan ilaaluu malee faayidaa maalii argatu ree?
12 Sweet is the sleep of a laboring man, whether he have eaten little or much; but the repletion 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, — riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt.
Ani aduudhaa gaditti hammina nama gaddisiisu nan arge; kunis: qabeenya abbuma isaa miidhuuf kuufame,
14 For those riches perish by some calamity, and, if he have a son, 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 from his mother's womb naked, so shall he go away again, as he came, and shall take away nothing of his labor which he may carry 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 This is also a sore evil, that, in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit is there to him who toileth for wind?
Kunis hammina nama gaddisiisuu dha: Namni akkuma dhufetti deema; inni waan bubbeedhaaf dadhabuuf faayidaa maalii argata?
17 Also all his days he ate in darkness, and had much grief and anxiety and vexation.
Inni bara jireenya isaa hunda yaaddoo, dhukkubbii fi aarii guddaadhaan dukkana keessatti nyaata.
18 Behold, what I have seen is, that it is good and proper for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor which he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth 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 To whatever man also God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him to enjoy them, 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 will not much remember the days of his life; for God answereth him with the joy of his heart.
Sababii Waaqni garaa isaa gammachuudhaan guuteef inni bara jireenya isaa baayʼee hin yaadatu.
