< Ecclesiastes 11 >
1 to send: depart food: bread your upon face: surface [the] water for in/on/with abundance [the] day to find him
Tupa mkate wako juu ya maji, kwa maana baada ya siku nyingi utaupata tena.
2 to give: give portion to/for seven and also to/for eight for not to know what? to be distress: harm upon [the] land: country/planet
Wape sehemu watu saba, naam hata wanane, kwa maana hujui ni baa gani litakalokuwa juu ya nchi.
3 if to fill [the] cloud rain upon [the] land: country/planet to empty and if to fall: fall tree in/on/with south and if in/on/with north place which/that to fall: fall [the] tree there to be
Kama mawingu yamejaa maji, hunyesha mvua juu ya nchi. Kama mti ukianguka kuelekea kusini au kuelekea kaskazini, mahali ulipoangukia, hapo ndipo utakapolala.
4 to keep: look at spirit: breath not to sow and to see: see in/on/with cloud not to reap
Yeyote atazamaye upepo hatapanda, yeyote aangaliaye mawingu hatavuna.
5 like/as as which nothing you to know what? way: journey [the] spirit like/as bone in/on/with belly: womb [the] full thus not to know [obj] deed: work [the] God which to make [obj] [the] all
Kama vile usivyofahamu njia ya upepo, au jinsi mwili uumbwavyo ndani ya tumbo la mama, vivyo hivyo huwezi kufahamu kazi ya Mungu, Muumba wa vitu vyote.
6 in/on/with morning to sow [obj] seed your and to/for evening not to rest hand your for nothing you to know where? this to succeed this or this and if two their like/as one pleasant
Panda mbegu yako asubuhi, nako jioni usiruhusu mikono yako ilegee, kwa maana hujui ni ipi itakayofanikiwa, kwamba ni hii au ni ile, au kwamba zote zitafanikiwa sawasawa.
7 and sweet [the] light and pleasant to/for eye to/for to see: see [obj] [the] sun
Nuru ni tamu, tena inafurahisha macho kuona jua.
8 that if: except if: except year to multiply to live [the] man in/on/with all their to rejoice and to remember [obj] day [the] darkness for to multiply to be all which/that to come (in): come vanity
Hata kama mtu ataishi miaka mingi kiasi gani, na aifurahie yote. Lakini na akumbuke siku za giza, kwa maana zitakuwa nyingi. Kila kitu kitakachokuja ni ubatili.
9 to rejoice youth in/on/with youth your and be good you heart your in/on/with day youth your and to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct heart your and in/on/with appearance eye your and to know for upon all these to come (in): bring you [the] God in/on/with justice: judgement
Furahi ewe kijana, wakati ungali kijana, moyo wako na ukupe furaha katika siku za ujana wako. Fuata njia za moyo wako na chochote macho yako yaonayo, lakini ujue kwamba kwa ajili ya haya yote Mungu atakuleta hukumuni.
10 and to turn aside: remove vexation from heart your and to pass: bring distress: harm from flesh your for [the] youth and [the] dark hair vanity
Kwa hiyo basi, ondoa wasiwasi moyoni mwako na utupilie mbali masumbufu ya mwili wako, kwa kuwa ujana na nguvu ni ubatili.
