Wacdiyahii 12

1 Haddaba wakhtiga dhallinyaranimadaada Abuurahaaga xusuuso intaan maalmaha xumu kuu iman, ama ayan kuu soo dhowaan sannadaha aad odhan doonto, Sannadahan kuma istareexo,

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 iyo intaan qorraxda, iyo iftiinka, iyo dayaxa, iyo xiddiguhuba ay wada madoobaan, ama intaan daruuruhu roobka ka daba noqon,

While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 iyo inta kuwa guriga dhawraa ay gariiraan, oo nimanka xoogga badanuna ay soo gotaan, oo kuwa wax shiidaana ay tiradooda yar aawadeed shuqulka u joojiyaan, oo kuwa daaqadaha wax ka fiiriyaana ay madoobaadaan,

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

4 iyo inta albaabbada jidadka lagu xidho, iyo inta sanqadha shiididdu ay gaaban tahay, oo shimbirta cideeda lagu tooso, oo gabdhaha muusikaduna ay wada taag darnaadaan.

And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

5 Waxa sarreeya ayay ka baqi doonaan, oo jidadka dhexdoodana waxyaalo cabsi ah ayaa jiri doona, oo geedka yicibtu waa ubxin doonaa, oo koronkorraduna way isculaysin doonaan, oo damacuna wuu baabbi'i doonaa, maxaa yeelay, binu-aadmigu wuxuu tagaa hoygiisa daa'imka ah, oo kuwa baroortaana jidadkay warwareegaan.

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6 Abuurahaaga xusuuso intaan xadhigga lacagta ahu kala go'in, ama aan maddiibadda dahabka ahu kala jabin, ama aan jalxaddu isha biyeed agteeda ku burburin, ama aan giraangirta ceelku jabin,

Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 iyo intaan ciiddu dhulka ku noqon siday horeba ahayd, oo ruuxuna ku noqon Ilaahii horeba siiyey.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

8 Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa wax aan waxba tarayn, wax waluba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

9 Oo haddana wacdiyuhu xigmad buu lahaa, oo weliba dadkuu aqoon baray. Wuxuu aad uga fikiray, oo baadhay, oo isku hagaajiyey maahmaahyo badan.

And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10 Wacdiyuhu wuxuu doonay inuu soo helo erayo la aqbalo iyo wixii si qumman loo qoray oo ahaa hadal run ah.

The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 Erayada kuwa xigmadda lahu waa sida wax wax muda oo kale, oo maahmaahyada la soo ururshayna waa sida musmaarro la adkeeyey; adhijir qudha ayaa bixiyey.

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12 Oo weliba, wiilkaygiiyow, waxyaalahan ku waano qaado. Buugag badan samayntoodu innaba dhammaad ma leh, oo waxbarashada badanuna jidhkay daalisaa.

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Xaalkan soo koobiddiisii waa tan. Waa la wada maqlay. Ilaah ka cabso, oo amarradiisana dhawr, waayo, taasu waa waxa binu-aadmiga oo dhan u gudboon.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 Waayo, Ilaah wuu xukumi doonaa shuqul kasta, iyo wax kasta oo qarsoon, ha fiicnaadeen ama ha xumaadeene.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
