Ecclesiastes 4
1 I turnede me to othere thingis, and Y siy fals chalengis, that ben don vndur the sunne, and the teeris of innocentis, and no man coumfortour; and that thei forsakun of the help of alle men, moun not ayenstonde the violence of hem.
Ate nalaba okunnyigirizibwa kwonna okukolebwa wansi w’enjuba. Ate laba, amaziga gaabo abanyigirizibwa, era nga tebalina wakugabasangulako! Ababanyigiriza baalina obuyinza, kyokka nga tewali asobola kubagambako.
2 And Y preiside more deed men than lyuynge men;
Ne ndowooza ku abo abaafa, nga baali ba mukisa okusinga abo abakyali abalamu;
3 and Y demyde hym, that was not borun yit, and siy not the yuels that ben don vndur the sunne, to be blisfulere than euer eithir.
naye abasinga abo, y’oyo atannaba kuzaalibwa, atannalaba bibi obukolebwa wansi w’enjuba.
4 Eft Y bihelde alle the trauelis of men, and bisynesses; and Y perseyuede that tho ben opyn to the enuye of neiybore; and therfor in this is vanyte, and superflu bisynesse.
Awo ne ndaba ng’okutegana, n’okutuukiriza mu bikolebwa, kuva mu kukwatirwa obuggya muliraanwa. Na kino butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.
5 A fool foldith togidere hise hondis, and etith hise fleischis,
Omusirusiru awumba emikono gye, ne yeezikiriza yekka.
6 and seith, Betere is an handful with reste, than euer either hondful with trauel and turment of soule.
Kirungi okuba n’emirembe emijjuvu okusinga okujjula okubonaabona n’okugoberera empewo.
7 I bihelde and foond also another vanytee vndir the sunne;
Ate era ne ndaba obutaliimu wansi w’enjuba:
8 oon is, and he hath not a secounde; not a sone, not a brother; and netheles he ceesith not for to trauele, nether hise iyen ben fillid with richessis; nether he bithenkith, and seith, To whom trauele Y, and disseyue my soule in goodis? In this also is vanyte, and the worste turment.
nalaba omuntu ng’ali bwannamunigina, nga talina mwana wabulenzi wadde muganda we, naye ng’ategana okukamala, nga tamatira na bugagga bwe, ne yeebuuza nti, “Nteganira ani ne neefiiriza essanyu? Kino nakyo butaliimu, era tekiriiko kye kigasa.”
9 Therfor it is betere, that tweyne be togidere than oon; for thei han profite of her felouschipe.
Ababiri basinga omu, kubanga bagasibwa nnyo mu kukola kwabwe.
10 If oon fallith doun, he schal be vndurset of the tothere; wo to hym that is aloone, for whanne he fallith, he hath noon reisynge him.
Kubanga singa omu agwa, munne amuyimusa. Naye zimusanze oyo ali obw’omu, bw’agwa tabaako amuyimusa.
11 And if tweyne slepen, thei schulen be nurschid togidere; hou schal oon be maad hoot?
Ababiri bwe bagalamira bombi awamu babuguma; naye oyo ali obw’omu, ayinza atya okubuguma?
12 And if ony man hath maistri ayens oon, tweyne ayen stonden hym; a threfolde corde is brokun of hard.
Omu awangulwa mangu, kyokka ababiri bayinza okwerwanako. Kubanga omuguwa ogw’emiyondo esatu tegukutuka mangu.
13 A pore man and wijs is betere than an eld kyng and fool, that kan not bifore se in to tyme to comynge.
Omuvubuka omwavu nga mugezi, akira kabaka amusinga emyaka nga musirusiru, atafaayo ku kubuulirirwa.
14 For sum tyme a man goith out bothe fro prysoun and chaynes to a rewme; and anothir borun in to a rewme is wastid bi nedynesse.
Omuvubuka ayinza okuba ng’avudde mu kkomera n’alya obwakabaka, oba okulya obwakabaka ng’abadde mwavu.
15 I siy alle men lyuynge that goen vndur the sunne, with the secounde yong wexynge man, that schal rise for hym.
Nalaba abalamu bonna abatambula wansi w’enjuba nga bagoberera omuvubuka oyo ow’okulya obwakabaka.
16 The noumbre of puple, of alle that weren bifore hym, is greet with outen mesure, and thei that schulen come aftirward, schulen not be glad in hym; but also this is vanyte and turment of the spirit.
Abantu be yafuganga baali bangi nnyo. Naye abo abajja oluvannyuma lwe tebaamusiima. Na kino nakyo butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.
