Ecclesiastes 3
1 Alle thingis han tyme, and alle thingis vndur sunne passen bi her spaces.
Buli kintu kirina ekiseera kyakyo, na buli ekikolebwa wansi w’eggulu kirina ekiseera kyakyo.
2 Tyme of birthe, and time of diyng; tyme to plaunte, and tyme to drawe vp that that is plauntid.
Waliwo ekiseera eky’okuzaalibwa n’ekiseera eky’okufa; ekiseera eky’okusimba ate n’ekiseera eky’okukungula ebyo ebyasimbibwa;
3 Tyme to sle, and tyme to make hool; tyme to distrie, and tyme to bilde.
ekiseera eky’okutta n’ekiseera eky’okuwonya; ekiseera eky’okumenya n’ekiseera eky’okuzimba;
4 Tyme to wepe, and tyme to leiye; tyme to biweile, and tyme to daunse.
ekiseera eky’okukaabiramu n’ekiseera eky’okusekeramu; ekiseera eky’okukungubaga n’ekiseera eky’okuzina;
5 Tyme to scatere stoonys, and tyme to gadere togidere; tyme to colle, and tyme to be fer fro collyngis.
ekiseera eky’okusaasaanyizaamu amayinja, n’ekiseera eky’okugakuŋŋaanyizaamu; ekiseera eky’okugwiramu mu kifuba n’ekiseera eky’okukyewaliramu;
6 Tyme to wynne, and tyme to leese; tyme to kepe, and tyme to caste awei.
waliwo ekiseera eky’okunoonyezaamu n’ekiseera eky’okulekeraawo okunoonya; ekiseera eky’okukuumiramu ekintu n’ekiseera eky’okukisuuliramu;
7 Tyme to kitte, and tyme to sewe togidere; tyme to be stille, and tyme to speke.
n’ekiseera eky’okuyulizaamu n’ekiseera eky’okuddabiririzaamu; ekiseera eky’okusirikiramu n’ekiseera eky’okwogereramu;
8 Tyme of loue, and tyme of hatrede; tyme of batel, and tyme of pees.
waliwo ekiseera eky’okwagaliramu n’ekiseera eky’okukyayiramu; ekiseera eky’entalo n’ekiseera eky’eddembe.
9 What hath a man more of his trauel?
Ddala omuntu kiki ky’afuna mu kutegana kwe?
10 I siy the turment, which God yaf to the sones of men, that thei be occupied therynne.
Ndabye omugugu Katonda gw’atadde ku bantu.
11 God made alle thingis good in her tyme, and yaf the world to disputyng of hem, that a man fynde not the werk which God hath wrouyt fro the bigynnyng `til in to the ende.
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 And Y knew that no thing was betere `to a man, `no but to be glad, and to do good werkis in his lijf.
Mmanyi nga tewali kisingira bantu kusanyuka na kukola bulungi nga balamu.
13 For whi ech man that etith and drinkith, and seeth good of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.
Buli muntu alyoke alye, anywe afune okwesiima olw’ebyo ebiva mu kutegana kwe, kubanga ekyo kirabo kya Katonda.
14 I haue lerned that alle werkis, whiche God made, lasten stidfastli `til in to with outen ende; we moun not adde ony thing to tho, nether take awei fro tho thingis, whiche God made, that he be dred.
Mmanyi nga buli Katonda ky’akola kya lubeerera; tekyongerwako, era tewali kikijjibwako. Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, abantu balyoke bamutye.
15 That thing that is maad, dwellith perfitli; tho thingis that schulen come, weren bifore; and God restorith that, that is goon.
Ekyo ekiriwo ky’amala dda okubaawo; n’ekyo ekinaaberawo kyabaawo dda; era Katonda alagira ebyali bibaddewo, ne byongera okubaawo.
16 I siy vndur sunne vnfeithfulnesse in the place of doom; and wickidnesse in the place of riytfulnesse.
Ate era nalaba nga wansi w’enjuba, mu kifo ky’okusala amazima waliwo kusaliriza; ne mu kifo ky’obutuukirivu waliwo bwonoonyi.
17 And Y seide in myn herte, The Lord schal deme a iust man, and an vnfeithful man; and the tyme of ech thing schal be thanne.
Ne njogera munda yange nti, “Katonda aliramula abatuukirivu n’aboonoonyi; kubanga yateekawo ekiseera ekya buli kimu; era na buli mulimu.”
18 I seide in myn herte of the sones of men, that God schulde preue hem, and schewe that thei ben lijk vnresonable beestis.
Ne ndowooza nti, “Katonda agezesa abaana b’abantu era bajjukire nti nsolo busolo.
19 Therfor oon is the perisching of man and of beestis, and euene condicioun is of euer eithir; as a man dieth, `so and tho beestis dien; alle beestis brethen in lijk maner, and a man hath no thing more than a beeste.
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 Alle thingis ben suget to vanyte, and alle thingis goen to o place; tho ben maad of erthe, and tho turnen ayen togidere in to erthe.
Bonna bagenda mu kifo kye kimu, bonna bava mu nfuufu era mu nfuufu mwe badda.
21 Who knowith, if the spirit of the sones of Adam stieth vpward, and if the spirit of beestis goith dounward?
Ani amanyi obanga omwoyo gw’omuntu gwambuka waggulu, ogw’ensolo gwo ne gukka mu ttaka?”
22 And Y perseyuede that no thing is betere, than that a man be glad in his werk, and that this be his part; for who schal brynge hym, that he knowe thingis that schulen come after hym?
Bwe ntyo nalaba nga tewali kisinga muntu kusanyukira mulimu gwe, kubanga ekyo gwe mugabo gwe. Anti tewali asobola kumukomyawo alabe ebyo ebiribaawo oluvannyuma lwe.
