Kohelethu 3
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, o ũndũ nĩ ũrĩ ihinda rĩaguo, na o ũndũ o wothe wĩkagwo gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũrĩ mahinda maguo:
For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
2 kũrĩ hĩndĩ ya gũciarwo na hĩndĩ ya gũkua, hĩndĩ ya kũhaanda na hĩndĩ ya kũmunya kĩrĩa kĩhaande,
A time to bear a child and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up [what] is planted.
3 hĩndĩ ya kũũraga na hĩndĩ ya kũhonia, hĩndĩ ya gũtharia na hĩndĩ ya gwaka,
A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
4 hĩndĩ ya kũrĩra na hĩndĩ ya gũtheka, hĩndĩ ya gũcakaya na hĩndĩ ya kũina,
A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 hĩndĩ ya kũhurunja mahiga na hĩndĩ ya kũmacookanĩrĩria, hĩndĩ ya kũhĩmbĩria na hĩndĩ ya kwaga kũhĩmbĩria,
A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones a time to embrace and a time to be far from embracing.
6 hĩndĩ ya gũcaria na hĩndĩ ya kũũrĩrwo nĩ indo, hĩndĩ ya kũiga, na hĩndĩ ya gũte,
A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 hĩndĩ ya gũtembũra na hĩndĩ ya gũtuma, hĩndĩ ya gũkira na hĩndĩ ya kwaria,
A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
8 hĩndĩ ya kwenda na hĩndĩ ya gũthũũra, hĩndĩ ya mbaara na hĩndĩ ya thayũ.
A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
9 Mũruti wa wĩra-rĩ, nĩ uumithio ũrĩkũ oonaga harĩ gwĩtungumania gwake?
What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
10 Nĩnyonete mathĩĩna marĩa Ngai aheete andũ nĩguo mathĩĩnĩkage nĩ mo.
I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
11 Ngai oombire kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ gĩthaka hĩndĩ yakĩo. Ningĩ nĩekĩrĩte ũhoro wa tene na tene ngoro-inĩ cia andũ; no andũ matingĩhota kũmenya wĩra ũrĩa Ngai arutĩte kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya kĩrĩkĩrĩro.
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.
12 Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ mwega andũ mangĩĩka ũkĩrĩte gũkena na gwĩka maũndũ mega rĩrĩa rĩothe megũtũũra muoyo.
I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
13 O na ningĩ ngamenya atĩ mũndũ o wothe angĩrĩa na anyue, na akenere gwĩtungumania gwake, kĩu nĩ kĩheo kuuma kũrĩ Ngai.
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.
14 Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũndũ ũrĩa wothe Ngai ekaga nĩ wagũtũũra nginya tene; ndũngĩongerereka kana ũnyihanyiihe. Ngai awĩkaga nĩgeetha andũ mamwĩtigagĩre.
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.
15 Ũrĩa gũtariĩ rĩu noguo gwatariĩ tene, na ũrĩa gũgaatuĩka thuutha-inĩ noguo gwatariĩ mbere ĩyo; nake Ngai acaragia atĩ ũndũ ũrĩa wahĩtũkire ũcooke o ro ho.
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.
16 O na ningĩ ngĩona ũndũ ũngĩ gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa: Handũ harĩa haatuuagĩrwo ciira-rĩ, waganu warĩ ho, na ho handũ harĩa ha kĩhooto-rĩ, waganu warĩ ho.
And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
17 Ngĩĩra atĩrĩ na ngoro yakwa, “Ngai nĩwe ũgaaciirithia andũ arĩa athingu na arĩa aaganu, tondũ nĩgũgakorwo ihinda rĩa o ũndũ o wothe wĩkagwo gũkũ thĩ, o na ihinda rĩa wĩra o wothe.”
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.
18 Ningĩ ngĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wa andũ-rĩ, Ngai amageragia nĩgeetha mone atĩ mahaana o ta nyamũ.
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.
19 Maũndũ marĩa makoraga mũndũ no mo makoraga nyamũ; mũndũ na nyamũ makoragwo nĩ ũndũ o ro ũmwe: O ta ũrĩa mũndũ akuuaga, noguo nyamũ ĩkuaga. Mĩhũmũ ya mũndũ na nyamũ no ĩmwe; mũndũ ndarĩ handũ akĩrĩte nyamũ. Ũndũ o wothe nĩ wa tũhũ.
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.
20 Mũndũ na nyamũ mathiiaga o kũndũ kũmwe; othe moimĩte tĩĩri-inĩ, na othe macookaga o tĩĩri-inĩ.
Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
21 Nũũ ũũĩ kana hihi roho wa mũndũ wambataga na igũrũ, naguo roho wa nyamũ ũgaikũrũka na thĩ?”
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.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩona atĩ hatirĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ mũndũ ũkĩrĩte gũkenera wĩra wake, tondũ rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩake. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmũcookia rĩngĩ nĩguo one ũrĩa gũgeekĩka thuutha wake?
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.
