< Ecclesiastes 11 >
1 Send bread your on [the] surface of the waters for in [the] abundance of days you will find it.
Peleka mkate wako juu ya maji, kwa kuwa utaupata tena baada ya siku nyingi.
2 Give a portion to seven and also to eight for not you know what? will it be calamity on the earth.
Shiriki mkate na watu saba, hata wanane kwa kuwa haujui ni majanga gani yanayo kuja juu ya nchi.
3 If they will be filled the clouds rain on the earth they will pour [it] out and whether it falls a tree at the south and or at the north [the] place where it falls the tree there it will be.
Kama mawingu yamejaa mvua, yanajivua yenyewe chini ya nchi. Na kama mti ukianguka kuelekea kusini au kuelekea kaskazini, popote mti unapoangukia papo hapo utabakia.
4 [one who] watches for A wind not he will sow and [one who] looks on the clouds not he will reap.
Yeyote autazamaye upepo yawezekana asipande, na yeyote atazamaye mawingu yawezekana asivune.
5 Just as not you [are] knowing what? [is] [the] way of the wind like bones in [the] womb of the full [woman] thus not you know [the] work of God who he makes everything.
Kama usivyo jua njia ya upepo, wala vile ambavyo mtoto akuavyo tumboni, vivyo hivyo huwezi kuielewa kazi ya Mungu, aliye umba kila kitu.
6 In the morning sow seed your and to the evening may not you give rest to hand your for not you [are] knowing where? this will it succeed ¿ this or? this and or? [will] both of them as one [be] good.
Asubuhi panda mbegu yako; hadi jioni, fanya kazi kwa mikono yako kama inavyo hitajika kwa kuwa haujui ni ipi itafanikiwa, jioni au asubuhi, au hii au ile au zote zitakuwa nzuri.
7 And [is] sweet the light and [is] good for the eyes to see the sun.
Kweli nuru ni tamu, na ni kitu cha kufurahisha kwa ajili ya macho kuona jua.
8 That except years [surely] a multitude will live person in all of them let him be take pleasure and he may remember [the] days of darkness for [surely] many will be all that has come [is] futility.
Kama mtu akiishi miaka mingi, na aifurahie yote, lakina na afikiri juu ya siku zijazo za giza, kwa kuwa zitakuwa nyingi. Kila kitu kijacho ni mvuke unaoteketea.
9 Rejoice O young man in youth your and let it make good you heart your in [the] days of youth your and walk in [the] ways of heart your and in [the] sight of eyes your and know that on all these [things] he will bring you God in judgment.
Furahia kijana, katika ujana wako, na moyo wako ufurahie siku za ujana wako. fuatilia yale mema ya moyo wako, chochote kilicho mbele ya macho yako. Ingawa, fahamu kwamba MUngu atakuleta hukumuni kwa ajili ya vitu hivi vyote.
10 And remove vexation from heart your and put away evil from flesh your for youth and the black hair [are] futility.
Ondoa hasira kutoka moyoni mwako, na usijali maumivu yoyote katika mwili wako, kwa sababu ujana na nguvu zake ni mvuke.
