Ecclesiastes 3
1 For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
Buli kintu kirina ekiseera kyakyo, na buli ekikolebwa wansi w’eggulu kirina ekiseera kyakyo.
2 A time to bear a child and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up [what] is planted.
Waliwo ekiseera eky’okuzaalibwa n’ekiseera eky’okufa; ekiseera eky’okusimba ate n’ekiseera eky’okukungula ebyo ebyasimbibwa;
3 A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
ekiseera eky’okutta n’ekiseera eky’okuwonya; ekiseera eky’okumenya n’ekiseera eky’okuzimba;
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
ekiseera eky’okukaabiramu n’ekiseera eky’okusekeramu; ekiseera eky’okukungubaga n’ekiseera eky’okuzina;
5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones a time to embrace and a time to be far from embracing.
ekiseera eky’okusaasaanyizaamu amayinja, n’ekiseera eky’okugakuŋŋaanyizaamu; ekiseera eky’okugwiramu mu kifuba n’ekiseera eky’okukyewaliramu;
6 A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
waliwo ekiseera eky’okunoonyezaamu n’ekiseera eky’okulekeraawo okunoonya; ekiseera eky’okukuumiramu ekintu n’ekiseera eky’okukisuuliramu;
7 A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
n’ekiseera eky’okuyulizaamu n’ekiseera eky’okuddabiririzaamu; ekiseera eky’okusirikiramu n’ekiseera eky’okwogereramu;
8 A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
waliwo ekiseera eky’okwagaliramu n’ekiseera eky’okukyayiramu; ekiseera eky’entalo n’ekiseera eky’eddembe.
9 What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
Ddala omuntu kiki ky’afuna mu kutegana kwe?
10 I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Ndabye omugugu Katonda gw’atadde ku bantu.
11 Everything he has made beautiful in time its also perpetuity he has put in heart their because not which not he will find humankind the work which he has done God from beginning and to end.
Buli kimu yakikola nga kirungi mu kiseera kyakyo. Kyokka newaakubadde nga Katonda yateeka mu mitima gy’abantu okutegeera obulamu obutaggwaawo, omuntu tayinza kuteebereza mulimu gwa Katonda gwonna, we gutandikira oba we gukoma.
12 I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
Mmanyi nga tewali kisingira bantu kusanyuka na kukola bulungi nga balamu.
13 And also every person that he will eat and he will drink and he will see good in all toil his [is] a gift of God it.
Buli muntu alyoke alye, anywe afune okwesiima olw’ebyo ebiva mu kutegana kwe, kubanga ekyo kirabo kya Katonda.
14 I know that all that he does God it it will be for ever to it not to add and from it not to take away and God he has acted that people will fear from to before him.
Mmanyi nga buli Katonda ky’akola kya lubeerera; tekyongerwako, era tewali kikijjibwako. Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, abantu balyoke bamutye.
15 Whatever that is [has been] already it and [that] which [is] to be already it has been and God he will seek [what] was pursued.
Ekyo ekiriwo ky’amala dda okubaawo; n’ekyo ekinaaberawo kyabaawo dda; era Katonda alagira ebyali bibaddewo, ne byongera okubaawo.
16 And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
Ate era nalaba nga wansi w’enjuba, mu kifo ky’okusala amazima waliwo kusaliriza; ne mu kifo ky’obutuukirivu waliwo bwonoonyi.
17 I said I in heart my the righteous and the wicked he will judge God for a time [is] for every matter and on every deed there.
Ne njogera munda yange nti, “Katonda aliramula abatuukirivu n’aboonoonyi; kubanga yateekawo ekiseera ekya buli kimu; era na buli mulimu.”
18 I said I in heart my on cause of [the] children of humankind to test them God and to see that they [are] animal[s] they for themselves.
Ne ndowooza nti, “Katonda agezesa abaana b’abantu era bajjukire nti nsolo busolo.
19 For [the] fate of [the] children of humankind and [the] fate of animal[s] and fate one [belongs] to them like [the] death of this so [the] death of this and breath one [belongs] to all and [the] advantage of humankind [is] more than the animal[s] not for everything [is] futility.
Kubanga ekituuka ku baana b’abantu kye kituuka ne ku nsolo; omuntu afa, n’ensolo n’efa. Bonna bassa omukka gwe gumu; omuntu talina nkizo ku nsolo. Byonna butaliimu.
20 Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
Bonna bagenda mu kifo kye kimu, bonna bava mu nfuufu era mu nfuufu mwe badda.
21 Who? [is] knowing [the] spirit of [the] children of humankind that is going up it upwards and [the] spirit of the animal[s] that is going down it downwards to the earth.
Ani amanyi obanga omwoyo gw’omuntu gwambuka waggulu, ogw’ensolo gwo ne gukka mu ttaka?”
22 And I saw that there not [is] good more than that he will be happy humankind in work his for that [is] portion his for who? will he bring him to look on whatever that will be after him.
Bwe ntyo nalaba nga tewali kisinga muntu kusanyukira mulimu gwe, kubanga ekyo gwe mugabo gwe. Anti tewali asobola kumukomyawo alabe ebyo ebiribaawo oluvannyuma lwe.
