< Ecclesiastes 3 >

1 For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
Chinhu chimwe nechimwe chine nguva yacho, uye basa rimwe nerimwe rine nguva yaro pasi pedenga:
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.
nguva yokuberekwa nenguva yokufa, nguva yokusima nenguva yokudzura;
3 A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
nguva yokuuraya nenguva yokuporesa, nguva yokuputsa nenguva yokuvaka;
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
nguva yokuchema nenguva yokuseka, nguva yokuungudza nenguva yokudzana;
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.
nguva yokurasa mabwe nenguva yokuaunganidza pamwe chete, nguva yokumbundikira nenguva yokurega;
6 A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
nguva yokutsvaka nenguva yokurega zvirasike, nguva yokuchengeta nenguva yokurasa;
7 A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
nguva yokubvarura nenguva yokusona, nguva yokunyarara nenguva yokutaura;
8 A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
nguva yokuda nenguva yokuvenga, nguva yehondo nenguva yorugare.
9 What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
Ko, mushandi anowanei kubva mukushanda kwake kwose?
10 I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Ndakaona mutoro wakapiwa vanhu naMwari.
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.
Akaita chinhu chimwe nechimwe chakanaka nenguva yacho. Akaisawo zvisingaperi mumwoyo yavanhu; kunyange zvakadaro havangagoni kunzwisisa zvakaitwa naMwari kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira.
12 I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
Ndinoziva kuti hakuna chinhu chakanakira munhu kupfuura kuti afare uye kuti aite zvakanaka achiri mupenyu.
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.
Kuti munhu wose adye uye anwe uye azviwanire kugutsikana kubva pakushanda kwake kwose, ichi ndicho chipo chaMwari.
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.
Ndinoziva kuti zvose zvinoitwa naMwari zvichagara nokusingaperi; hapana chingawedzerwa pazviri uye hapana chingabviswa pazviri. Mwari anozviita kuti vanhu vamukudze.
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.
Chipi nechipi chiripo zvino, chakagara chiripo kare, uye zvichazovapo zvakatovapo kare; uye Mwari anotsvakazve zvakapfuura.
16 And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
Uyezve ndakaona chimwe chinhu pasi pezuva: Panzvimbo yokururamisira, zvakaipa zvakanga zviripo, panzvimbo yokururama, zvakaipa zvakanga zviripo.
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.
Ndakafunga mumwoyo mangu ndikati, “Mwari achatonga vose vakarurama nevakaipa, nokuti pachava nenguva yebasa rimwe nerimwe.”
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.
Ndakatizve, “Kana vari vanhu, Mwari anovaedza kuti vaone kuti vakangofanana nemhuka.
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.
Zvinoitika kumunhu zvakafanana nezvinoitika kumhuka; zvose zvinoitirwa zvimwe chetezvo: sokufa kunoita chimwe, chimwe chinofawo. Zvose zvinofema mweya mumwe; munhu hapana paanopfuura mhuka. Zvose hazvina maturo.
20 Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
Zvose zvinoenda kunzvimbo imwe chete; zvose zvinobva kuvhu, uye kuvhu zvose zvinodzokera.
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.
Ndiani angaziva kana mweya womunhu uchikwira kuenda kumusoro uye kana mweya wemhuka uchidzika pasi?”
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.
Saka ndakaona kuti hapana chingapfuure ichi, kuti munhu afadzwe nebasa rake, nokuti uyu ndiwo mugove wake. Nokuti ndiani achazomudzosazve kuti aone zvichazoitika shure kwake?
