UmTshumayeli 7
1 Ibizo elihle lingcono kulamakha amnandi, lelanga lokufa lingcono kulelanga lokuzalwa.
[is] good A name more than ointment good and [the] day of death more than [the] day of being born he.
2 Kungcono ukuya endlini yesililo kulokuya endlini yamadili, ngoba ukufa kuyisiphetho somuntu wonke; abaphilayo kabakunanzelele lokho.
[is] good To go to a house of mourning more than to go to a house of a feast in that this [is] [the] end of every person and the living person he will give to heart his.
3 Usizi lungcono kulokuhleka, ngoba ubuso obudanileyo buyayisiza inhliziyo.
[is] good Vexation more than laughter for by sadness of face it will be good a heart.
4 Inhliziyo yabahlakaniphileyo isendlini yokulila, kodwa inhliziyo yeziwula isendlini yokuzithokozisa.
[the] heart of Wise people [is] in a house of mourning and [the] heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.
5 Kungcono ukulalela izixwayiso zomuntu ohlakaniphileyo kulokulalela ingoma yeziwula.
[is] good To listen to [the] rebuke of a wise [person] more than someone [who] listens to [the] song of fools.
6 Njengokuchachamba kwameva ngaphansi kwembiza, lunjalo uhleko lweziwula. Lokhu lakho kuyize.
For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
7 Ukuqilibezela kwenza ohlakaniphileyo abe yisiwula, lesivalamlomo siyayona inhliziyo.
For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
8 Isiphetho sendaba singcono kulokuqala kwayo, lokubekezela kungcono kulokuqinisa intamo.
[is] good [the] end of A matter more than beginning its [is] good a [person] patient of spirit more than a [person] proud of spirit.
9 Ungaphangisi ukufuthelana ngaphakathi, ngoba ulaka luhlezi lugonwe yiziwula.
May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
10 Ungaze wathi, “Kungani insuku zayizolo zazingcono kulalezi?” Ngoba kakukuhle ukubuza imibuzo enjalo.
May not you say why? was it that the days former they were good more than these for not from wisdom you have asked on this.
11 Ukuhlakanipha, njengelifa, kuyinto enhle njalo kuyabasiza bonke abaphilayo.
[is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
12 Ukuhlakanipha kuyisiphephelo njengoba imali iyisiphephelo, kodwa ubungcono bolwazi yilobu: ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kuyayilondoloza impilo yalowo olakho.
For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
13 Nakana ngalokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo: Ngubani ongakuqondisa lokho akwenze kwagoba na?
Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
14 Ngezikhathi konke kukuhle, thokoza; kodwa ngezikhathi zobubi, cabanga ukuthi: uNkulunkulu ukwenzile lokhu kanye lalokhuyana njalo. Ngakho-ke umuntu ngeke akwazi ukuthi ikusasa lakhe lizakuba yini.
On a day of good be in good and on a day of adversity consider also this exactly as this he has made God on reason that not he will find out humankind after him anything.
15 Kuyonale impilo yami eyize sengizibonile izinto lezi zombili: umuntu olungileyo uyafa elungile enjalo, lomuntu omubi uba lempilo enhle emubi enjalo.
Everything I have seen in [the] days of futility my there [is] a righteous [person] [who] perishes in righteousness his and there [is] a wicked [person] [who] prolongs in evil his.
16 Ungalungi wedlulise, futhi ungabi lokuhlakanipha okweqileyo kambe uzibulalelani na?
May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
17 Ungaxhwali okudlulisileyo, njalo ungabi yisiwula kambe ufelani singakafiki isikhathi sakho?
May not you be wicked greatly and may not you be a fool why? will you die at not time your.
18 Kuhle ukuthi uthi ubambe lokhu ungayekeli uphunyukwe ngokunye. Umuntu owesaba uNkulunkulu kedlulisi amalawulo.
[is] good That you will take hold on this and also from this may not you give rest to hand your for [one] fearing God he will go out all of them.
19 Ukuhlakanipha kwenza umuntu ohlakaniphileyo oyedwa abe lamandla kulababusi abalitshumi edolobheni.
Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
20 Akulamuntu loyedwa olungileyo emhlabeni owenza okulungileyo ongazake enze isono.
For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
21 Ungaphiki ngokulalela wonke amazwi akhulunywa ngabantu, funa uzwe inceku yakho ikuthuka
Also to all the words which people speak may not you give heart your that not you will hear servant your cursing you.
22 ngoba uyakwazi enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi wena ngokwakho uyawubathuke abanye.
For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
23 Konke lokhu ngakuhlolisisa ngokuhlakanipha ngathi, “Ngizimisele ukuhlakanipha” kodwa lokhu kwakungaphezu kwami.
All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.
24 Ukuhlakanipha okungabe kukhona, kukhatshana kakhulu njalo kuzikile kakhulu: ngubani ongakufinyelela na?
[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
25 Ngasengibeka ingqondo yami ukuthi ngizwisise, ngidingisise njalo ngichwayisise ukuhlakanipha kanye lesimo sezinto lokuzwisisa ubuphukuphuku bokuxhwala lobuhlanya lobuwula.
I turned I heart my to know and to examine and to seek wisdom and an explanation and to know wickedness stupidity and the folly madness.
26 Ngibona ukuthi uyingozi eyedlula ukufa umfazi ongumjibila, onhliziyo yakhe iyisithiyo njalo ozandla zakhe zingamaketane. Indoda eyesaba uNkulunkulu izaphepha kuye, kodwa isigangi uzasihilela.
And [was] finding I bitter more than death the woman who she [is] snares and [is] nets heart her [are] fetters hands her a [person] good before God he escapes from her and a sinner he is captured by her.
27 Uthi uMtshumayeli, “Khangela, nanku esengikunanzelele: Ngihlanganisa lokhu lalokhu ngizama ukubona isimo sezinto
Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
28 ngilokhu ngisachwayisisa kodwa ngingatholi ngafumanisa indoda eyodwa elungileyo kwabayinkulungwane, kodwa ngitsho loyedwa umfazi oqondileyo kubo.
Which again it has sought self my and not I have found a man one of a thousand I have found and a woman among all these not I have found.
29 Yilokhu kuphela esengikufumene: UNkulunkulu wamenza umuntu wabaqotho, kodwa abantu basuka bazenzele okwabo.”
Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
