Ecclesiastes 6
1 there distress: evil which to see: see underneath: under [the] sun and many he/she/it upon [the] man
Kuna ubaya ambao nimeuona chini ya jua, na ni mbaya kwa watu.
2 man: anyone which to give: give to/for him [the] God riches and wealth and glory and nothing he lacking to/for soul: myself his from all which to desire and not to domineer him [the] God to/for to eat from him for man foreign to eat him this vanity and sickness bad: harmful he/she/it
Mungu anaweza kumpa mtu mali na utajiri na heshima kwa kiasi kwamba hakosi chochote anachokitamani mwenyewe, lakini kisha hampi uwezo wa kukifurahia. Badala yake mtu mwingine hutumia vitu vyake. Huu ni mvuke, teso baya.
3 if to beget man: anyone hundred and year many to live and many which/that to be day year his and soul: appetite his not to satisfy from [the] welfare and also tomb not to be to/for him to say pleasant from him [the] miscarriage
Kama mtu akizaa watoto mia moja na kuishi miaka mingi, ili kwamba siku za miaka yake ni nyingi, lakini kama moyo wake hautosheki kwa mema na hazikwi kwa heshima, kisha ninasema kwamba, mtoto aliyezaliwa akiwa amekufa ni bora kuliko alivyo.
4 for in/on/with vanity to come (in): come and in/on/with darkness to go: went and in/on/with darkness name his to cover
Hata mtoto huyo amezaliwa bila faida na anapita katika giza, na jina lake linabaki limefichika.
5 also sun not to see: see and not to know quietness to/for this from this
Ingawa mtoto huyu haoni jua au kujua kitu chochote, ana pumziko ingawa mtu huyo hakupumzika.
6 and except to live thousand year beat and welfare not to see: enjoy not to(wards) place one [the] all to go: went
Hata kama mtu akiishi miaka elfu mbili lakini hajifunzi kufuraia vitu vizuri, aenda sehemu moja kama mtu yeyote yule.
7 all trouble [the] man to/for lip his and also [the] soul: appetite not to fill
Ingawa kazi yote ya mtu ni kujaza mdomo wake, ila hamu yake haishibi.
8 for what? advantage to/for wise from [the] fool what? to/for afflicted to know to/for to go: walk before [the] alive
Hakika ni faida gani aliyo nayo mwenye hekima kuliko mpumbavu? Ni faida gani aliyo nayo masikini hata kama anajua jinsi ya kutenda mbele ya watu?
9 pleasant appearance eye from to go: walk soul: appetite also this vanity and longing spirit: breath
Ni bora kuridhika na kile ambacho macho hukiona kuliko kutamani kile ambacho hamu isiyo tulia inatamani, ambayo pia ni mvuke na kujaribu kuuchunga upepo.
10 what? which/that to be already to call: call by name his and to know which he/she/it man and not be able to/for to judge with (which/that mighty *Q(K)*) from him
Chochote ambacho kimekuwepo, tayari kimekwisha kupewa jina lake, na vile mtu alivyo ni kama tayari amekwisha fahamika. Hivyo imekuwa haifai kugombana na yule ambaye ni muhukumu mkuu wa wote.
11 for there word to multiply to multiply vanity what? advantage to/for man
Maneno mengi ambayo yanaongelewa, ndivyo yasiyo na maana yanaongezeka, kwa hiyo ni faida gani iliyopo kwa mwanadamu?
12 for who? to know what? pleasant to/for man in/on/with life number day life vanity his and to make: do them like/as shadow which who? to tell to/for man what? to be after him underneath: under [the] sun
Kwa kuwa ni nani ajuaye nini kilicho kizuri kwa mtu katika maisha yake wakati wa ubatili wake, siku zilizo hesabika ambazo kwa hizo anapita kama kivuri? Ni nina anayeweza kumwambia mtu kile kitakacho kuja chini ya jua baada ya kupita?
