9 What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
Hojjetaan tokko dadhabbii isaa irraa buʼaa maalii argata?
10 I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Ani baʼaa Waaqni namoota irra kaaʼe argeera.
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.
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 not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
Ani akka namootaaf bara jireenya isaanii keessa wanni gammaduu fi waan gaarii hojjechuu caalu tokko iyyuu hin jirre nan beeka.
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.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa nyaatee dhugee buʼaa hojii isaa hundatti gammaduun kennaa Waaqaa ti.
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.
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 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.
Wanni amma jiru kam iyyuu duraanuu tureera; wanni dhufuuf jirus duraanuu jira ture; Waaqni waan darbes deebisee fida.
16 And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
Anis aduudhaa gaditti waan biraa nan arge; kunis: Iddoo murtiin qajeelaan jiraachuu malu, hamminatu ture; iddoo qajeelummaan jiraachuu malu immoo jalʼinatu ture.
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.
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 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.
Ani amma illee akkana jedhee garaa koo keessatti nan yaade; “Waaqni akka isaan akkuma bineensotaa taʼuu isaanii arganiif ilmaan namaa qora.
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.
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 Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
Isaan hundi idduma tokko dhaqu; hundinuu biyyoo irraa dhufan; hundinuus biyyootti deebiʼu.
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.
Akka hafuurri namaa ol baʼee hafuurri bineensaa immoo lafa keessa seenu eenyutu beeka?”
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.
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?
