Kohelethu 6
1 Na rĩrĩ, nĩnyonete ũndũ ũngĩ mũũru gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa, naguo nĩũritũhagĩra andũ mũno:
There [is] an evil which I have seen under the sun and [is] great it on humankind.
2 Naguo nĩ atĩ Ngai aheaga mũndũ ũtonga, na indo, o na gĩtĩĩo, agakoragwo na kĩndũ o kĩrĩa gĩothe ngoro yake ĩngĩĩrirĩria, no rĩrĩ, Ngai akaaga kũmũhotithia gũcikenera, no mũndũ ũngĩ mũgeni nĩwe ũcikenagĩra handũ hake. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa tũhũ, na nĩ ũndũ mũũru na wa kĩeha.
Anyone whom he gives to him God wealth and riches and honor and not he [is] lacking to appetite his - any of all that he desires and not he gives power him God to eat from it for a man foreign he eats it this [is] futility and [is] an affliction an evil it.
3 Mũndũ no agĩe ciana igana rĩmwe na atũũre mĩaka mĩingĩ; no rĩrĩ, o na angĩtũũra ihinda iraaya atĩa, angĩkorwo ndangĩkenera ũgaacĩru wake na aage gũthikwo wega-rĩ, nguuga atĩrĩ, mũndũ ũcio akĩrĩtwo nĩ kĩhuno.
If he will father anyone one hundred [children] and years many he will live and [will be] many - [that] which will be [the] days of years his and self his not it will be satisfied from the good and also burial not it belonged to him I say [is] good more than him the miscarriage.
4 Kĩhuno kĩu gĩũkaga kĩrĩ tũhũ, na gĩgathiĩ nduma-inĩ, na rĩĩtwa rĩakĩo rĩkahumbĩrwo nĩ nduma o ro ĩyo.
For in futility it came and in darkness it will go and in darkness name its it is covered.
5 O na gũtuĩka gĩtionire riũa kana gĩkĩmenya ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ-rĩ, nĩkĩgĩaga na ũhurũko gũkĩra mũndũ ũcio:
Also [the] sun not it saw and not it knew rest [belongs] to this one more than this one.
6 Ĩĩ, ti-itherũ o na angĩtũũra mĩaka ngiri ĩmwe maita meerĩ, na aage gũkenera ũgaacĩru wake. Githĩ othe matigĩthiiaga o handũ hamwe?
And if he lived a thousand years two times and good not he saw ¿ not to a place one [are] all going.
7 Mũndũ arutaga wĩra wothe na kĩyo nĩguo aiyũrie kanua gake, no gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ngoro yake ĩiganagia.
All [the] toil of humankind [is] for mouth his and also the appetite not it will be filled.
8 Mũndũ mũũgĩ-rĩ, akĩrĩte mũndũ mũkĩĩgu na kĩ? Nake mũndũ mũthĩĩni ũrĩa ũmenyete gũikarania na andũ arĩa angĩ-rĩ, egunaga na kĩ?
For what? advantage [belongs] to the wise person more than the fool what? [belongs] to the poor [person] [who] knows to walk before the living.
9 Nĩ kaba kĩrĩa maitho marona, gũkĩra kwangangio nĩ merirĩria. Ũndũ ũyũ o naguo nĩ wa tũhũ, o ta gũtengʼeria rũhuho.
[is] good [the] sight of Eyes more than going desire also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
10 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩanakorwo kuo kĩaheirwo rĩĩtwa, nake mũndũ nĩamenyekete ũrĩa atariĩ; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũkararania na ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya kũmũkĩra.
Whatever [that] which has been already it has been named name its and [is] known [that] which he humankind [is] and not he is able to contend with ([one] who [is] mighty *Q(K)*) more than him.
11 O ũrĩa ciugo iraingĩha, noguo ituĩkaga cia tũhũ, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgunaga mũndũ na kĩ?
For there [are] words certainly they increase futility what? advantage [belongs] to person.
12 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmenya maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire mũndũ mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake, matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake manini na ma tũhũ marĩa aniinaga magathira o ta kĩĩruru? Nũũ ũngĩmwĩra ũrĩa gũkaahaana gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa aarĩkia kwehera?
For who? [is] knowing what? [is] good for person in life [the] number of [the] days of [the] life of futility his and he spends them like shadow that who? will he tell to person what? will it be after him under the sun.
