Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said I in heart my come! please let me put to [the] test you with pleasure and look on good and there! also it [was] futility.
Nayogera munda yange nti, “Jjangu kaakano ngezese okusanyuka. Weesanyuse.” Naye laba, na kino kyali butaliimu.
2 Of laughter I said [it is] folly and of pleasure what? this [is it] doing.
Nagamba nti, “Okuseka busirusiru. Era okusanyuka kugasa ki?”
3 I searched in heart my to gratify with wine flesh my and heart my [was] guiding with wisdom and to take hold on folly until that I saw where? this [is] good for [the] children of humankind which they will do under the heavens [the] number of [the] days of lives their.
Nanoonyereza n’omutima gwange, bwe nnaasanyusa omubiri gwange n’omwenge, nga nkyagoberera okunoonya amagezi. Nayagala okulaba abantu kyebasaanira okukola wansi w’enjuba mu nnaku ez’obulamu bwabwe entono.
4 I made great works my I built for myself houses I planted for myself vineyards.
Natandikawo emirimu egy’amaanyi: ne neezimbira amayumba ne neesimbira ennimiro ez’emizabbibu.
5 I made for myself gardens and parks and I planted in them tree[s] of every fruit.
Ne neerimira ennimiro, ne neekolera n’ebifo ebigazi, ne nsimbamu buli ngeri ya miti egy’ebibala.
6 I made for myself pools of water to water from them a forest sprouting of trees.
Ne neesimira ebidiba omuva amazzi ag’okufukirira ebibira by’emiti emito.
7 I acquired [male] slaves and female slaves and sons of house he belonged to me also livestock herd[s] and flock[s] [surely] a multitude belonged to me more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.
Neefunira abaddu abasajja n’abakazi, era nalina abaddu abaazaalirwa mu nnyumba yange. Ne mbeera n’amagana g’ente n’ebisibo by’endiga okusinga bonna abansooka okubeera mu Yerusaalemi.
8 I gathered for myself also silver and gold and treasure of kings and provinces I acquired for myself male singers and female singers and [the] delights of [the] children of humankind breast and breasts.
Ne neekuŋŋaanyiza ffeeza ne zaabu ebyavanga mu misolo, egyampebwanga bakabaka n’egyavanga mu bwakabaka bwabwe. Neefunira abayimbi abasajja n’abakazi, ne nfuna n’ebintu byonna ebisanyusa omuntu, ne neefunira n’abakazi.
9 And I became great and I increased more than any who was before me in Jerusalem also wisdom my it remained to me.
Ne nfuuka mukulu ne nsukkirira bonna abansooka mu Yerusaalemi. Mu ebyo byonna nasigala siweebuuse mu magezi.
10 And all that they asked eyes my not I withheld from them not I restrained heart my from any pleasure for heart my [was] joyful from all toil my and this it was reward my from all toil my.
Na buli amaaso gange kye gaayagala okulaba sa kigamma, omutima gwange ne ngusanyusa mu buli kimu. Omutima gwange gwasanyukira bye nakola byonna, era eyo y’empeera yange olw’okutegana kwange kwonna.
11 And I turned I on all works my that had done hands my and on the toil that I had toiled to do and there! everything [was] futility and striving of wind and there not [was] profit under the sun.
Awo bwe nalowooza byonna emikono gyange bye gyakola, n’okutegana kwonna nga nkola, laba, byonna bwali butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo, tewaali na kimu kye nagobolola wansi w’enjuba.
12 And I turned I to consider wisdom and madness and folly for - what? [is] the person who will come after the king [that] which already people have done it.
Awo ne nkyuka ne ndowooza ku magezi, ne ku ddalu ne ku busirusiru, kubanga oyo aliddirira kabaka mu bigere alibaako ki ky’akola, okuggyako ekyo kabaka ky’akoze?
13 And I saw I that there [is] advantage of wisdom more than folly like [the] advantage of light more than darkness.
Awo ne ndaba amagezi nga gasinga obusirusiru, n’ekitangaala nga kisinga ekizikiza.
14 The wise [person] eyes his [are] in head his and the fool in darkness [is] walking and I knew also I that fate one it will happen to all of them.
Omugezi amaaso ge gali mu mutwe gwe, naye atalina magezi atambulira mu kizikiza. Kyokka ne ntegeera nga bombi akabi kabatuukako.
15 And I said I in heart my like [the] fate of the fool also me it will happen to me and why? have I become wise I then excessively and I said in heart my that also this [is] futility.
Ne ndyoka njogera mu mutima gwange nti, “Ekyo ekigwa ku musirusiru nange kirintuukako. Kale lwaki mbeera omugezi?” Era na kino ne nkizuula nga butaliimu.
16 For there not [is] remembrance of the wise man with the fool for a long time in that already the days coming everything it has been forgotten and how! he will die the wise [person] with the fool.
Kubanga ku mugezi ne ku musirusiru tewaliwo ajjukirwa lubeerera; mu nnaku ezirijja bombi baliba beerabirwa dda. Okufaanana ng’omusirusiru n’omugezi naye alifa.
17 And I hated life for [was] evil on me the work that was done under the sun for everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
Awo ne nkyawa obulamu kubanga buli ekikolebwa wansi w’enjuba kindeetera buyinike. Byonna butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.
18 And I hated I all toil my that I [was] a laborer under the sun that I will leave it to the person who will be after me.
Nakyawa okutegana kwange kwonna kwe nateganamu wansi w’enjuba, kubanga byonna ndi wakubirekera oyo alinzirira mu bigere.
19 And who? [is] knowing ¿ a wise [person] will he be or? a fool so he may have power over all toil my that I have toiled and that I worked skillfully under the sun also this [is] futility.
Kale ani amanyi obanga aliba musajja mugezi oba musirusiru? Kyokka ye y’aliba mukama w’ebyo byonna bye nateganira nga nkozesa amagezi gange wansi w’enjuba; era na kino nakyo butaliimu.
20 And I turned I to make despair heart my on all the toil that I have toiled under the sun.
Awo ne nterebuka olw’okutegana kwange kwonna wansi w’enjuba.
21 If there [was] a person who toil his [was] with wisdom and with knowledge and with skill and to a person who not he toiled in it he will give it portion his also this [is] futility and an evil great.
Kubanga oluusi omuntu ategana ng’akozesa amagezi ge n’okumanya awamu n’obukalabakalaba bwe, naye byonna ateekwa okubirekera oyo atabiteganiranga nako. Na kino nakyo butaliimu na kabi keereere.
22 For what? [is] becoming to the person in all toil his and in [the] striving of heart his that he [was] a laborer under the sun.
Omuntu afuna ki mu kutegana kwe kwonna n’okukaluubirirwa mu ebyo by’ateganamu wansi w’enjuba?
23 For all days his [are] pains and [is] vexation task his also in the night not it rests heart his also this [is] futility it.
Kubanga ennaku ze zonna n’okutegana kwe bijjula bulumi; era ne mu kiro omutima gwe teguwummula; na kino nakyo butaliimu.
24 There not [is] good for person that he will eat and he will drink and he will show self his good in toil his also this I have seen I that [is] from [the] hand of God it.
Tewali kisingira muntu kulya na kunywa na kusanyukira mu ebyo by’akola. Na kino nkiraba, kiva mu mukono gwa Katonda,
25 For who? will he eat and who? will he enjoy outside from me.
kubanga awatali ye, ani ayinza okulya oba asobola okusanyuka?
26 For to anyone who [is] good before him he gives wisdom and knowledge and joy and to the sinner he gives a task to gather and to collect to give [it] to a [person] good before God also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
Kubanga omuntu asanyusa Katonda, Katonda amuwa amagezi n’okumanya n’essanyu; naye omwonoonyi Katonda amuwa omulimu gw’okukuŋŋaanyiza oyo asanyusa Katonda. Na kino nakyo butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.
