UmTshumayeli 3
1 Zonke izinto zilesikhathi sazo, konke okwenziwayo ngaphansi kwelanga kulesibanga sakho:
For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
2 isikhathi sokuzalwa lesikhathi sokufa, isikhathi sokuhlanyela lesikhathi sokusiphuna,
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 isikhathi sokubulala lesikhathi sokuphilisa, isikhathi sokubhidliza lesikhathi sokwakha,
A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
4 isikhathi sokukhala lesikhathi sokuhleka, isikhathi sokulila lesikhathi sokugida,
A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 isikhathi sokuchithiza amatshe lesikhathi sokuwabutha, isikhathi sokugona lesikhathi sokunina,
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 isikhathi sokudinga lesikhathi sokukhalala, isikhathi sokugcina lesikhathi sokulahla,
A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 isikhathi sokudabula lesikhathi sokuthunga, isikhathi sokuthula lesikhathi sokukhuluma,
A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
8 isikhathi sokuthanda lesikhathi sokuzonda, isikhathi sempi lesikhathi sokuthula.
A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
9 Umuntu osebenzayo uzuzani na ngokusadalala kwakhe?
What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
10 Sengiwubonile umthwalo uNkulunkulu awethese abantu.
I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
11 Yonke into uyenze yabanhle ngesikhathi sayo. Wamupha umuntu iphakade enhliziyweni yakhe; kodwa abantu bangeke bafinyelele kulokho uNkulunkulu asakwenzayo kwasekuqaleni kusiya ekupheleni.
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 Ngiyakwazi ukuthi kakukho okungcono ebantwini kulokuthi bajabule njalo benze okuhle besaphila.
I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
13 Ukuthi wonke umuntu adle, anathe asuthiseke ekusebenzeni kwakhe gadalala, lokhu kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
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 Ngiyazi yonke into eyenziwa nguNkulunkulu izakuba khona kokuphela; akulalutho olungengezwa kukho loba kususwe kukho. UNkulunkulu uyenza lokho ukuze abantu bamkhonze.
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 Loba yini ekhona seyake yaba khona, kulalokho okuzakuba khona sekwaba khona ngaphambili; njalo uNkulunkulu uzakubalisa okwedlulayo.
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 Njalo ngabona okunye ngaphansi kwelanga: endaweni yokwahlulela, ububi babukhona, endaweni yokulungisa, ububi babukhona.
And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
17 Ngacabanga ngenhliziyo yami, “UNkulunkulu uzabehlulela bonke abalungileyo lababi, ngoba sizaba khona isikhathi sezenzakalo zonke, isikhathi sawo wonke umsebenzi.”
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 Ngacabanga njalo ngathi, “UNkulunkulu uyabahlola abantu ukuze babone ukuthi banjengezinyamazana.
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 Isiphetho somuntu siyafana lesezinyamazana; isiphetho sinye sibalindele bonke: njengoba lokhu kuyafa, kanjalo lokunye kuyafa. Konke kokubili kulomphefumulo munye; umuntu kangcono kulenyamazana. Konke kuyize.
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 Konke kuya ndawo yinye; konke kuvela othulini, yikho konke kubuyela othulini.
Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
21 Ngubani owaziyo ingabe umphefumulo womuntu uyakhwela uye phezulu kuthi owenyamazana wehlele phansi phakathi emhlabathini?”
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 Yikho ngabona ukuthi kakukho okungcono emuntwini ngaphandle kokuthi akholise umsebenzi wakhe ngoba leso yiso isabelo sakhe. Ngoba kambe ngubani ongamenza ukuthi abone lokho okuzakwenzakala yena esedlule?
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.
