1 Waxaan qalbiga iska idhi, Bal kaalay, waxaan kugu tijaabin doonaa farxad, haddaba bal iska raaxayso, oo bal eeg, taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayne.
I said in my heart, “Pray, come, I try you with mirth, and look on gladness”; and behold, even it [is] vanity.
2 Qosol waxaan ka idhi, Waa waalli! Farxadna waxaan ka idhi, Bal maxay taraysaa?
Of laughter I said, “Foolish!” And of mirth, “What [is] this it is doing?”
3 Waxaan qalbigayga ka damcay inaan jidhkayga khamri ku istareexiyo intii qalbigaygu xigmad igu hoggaaminayo, iyo inaan nacasnimo xagsado jeeraan arko waxa binu-aadmiga ku wanaagsan inay cimrigooda oo dhan samada hoosteeda ku sameeyaan.
I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly until I see where this [is]—the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.
4 Waxaan samaystay shuqullo waaweyn, guryana waan dhistay, beero canab ahna waan beertay.
I made great my works, I built for myself houses, I planted for myself vineyards.
5 Waxaan samaystay beero iyo firdows, oo waxaan ku dhex beeray geed midho cayn kastaba leh.
I made for myself gardens and paradises, and I planted in them trees of every fruit.
6 Waxaan samaystay balliyo biya ah oo laga waraabiyo kaynta dhirtu ka baxdo.
I made for myself pools of water, to water from them a forest shooting forth trees.
7 Waxaan soo iibsaday addoommo rag iyo dumarba ah, oo waxaan lahaa addoommo gurigayga ku dhashay, weliba waxaan lahaa hanti aad u badan oo ishkin iyo adhiba leh, oo waan ka sii hodansanaa kuwii Yeruusaalem iiga horreeyey oo dhan.
I acquired menservants, and maidservants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance—herd and flock—above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.
8 Oo weliba waxaan kaloo soo urursaday lacag, iyo dahab, iyo khasnado khaas ah oo ay boqorro iyo gobollo leeyihiin. Oo waxaan yeeshay niman ii gabya iyo naago ii gabya, iyo waxyaalaha ay binu-aadmigu ku farxaan iyo dumar badan.
I also gathered for myself silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I prepared for myself men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of man—a wife and wives.
9 Sidaasaan u weynaa oo uga maal badnaa kuwii Yeruusaalem iiga horreeyey oo dhan, oo weliba xigmaddaydiina way igu hadhay.
And I became great, and increased above everyone who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.
10 Oo wax kasta oo indhahaygu jeclaysteenna kama aan celin, oo qalbigaygana kama aan joojin farxad cayn kastoo ay tahayba, waayo, qalbigaygu wuu ku reyreeyey hawshaydii oo dhan, oo taasuna waxay ahayd qaybtii aan hawshaydii oo dhan ka helay.
And all that my eyes asked I did not keep back from them; I did not withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this has been my portion, from all my labor,
11 Markaasaan fiiriyey shuqulladii ay gacmahaygu sameeyeen oo dhan, iyo hawshii aan ku hawshooday oo dhan, oo bal eeg, dhammaantood waxay ahaayeen wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale, oo innaba faa'iido laguma arag inta qorraxda ka hoosaysa.
and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labor that I have labored to do, and behold, the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun!
12 Markaasaan u soo jeestay inaan xigmad iyo waalli iyo nacasnimoba fiiriyo, waayo, ninka boqorka ka dambeeya bal muxuu samayn karaa wixii hore loo sameeyey mooyaane?
And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what [is] the man who comes after the king? That which [is] already—they have done it!
13 Markaasaan gartay in xigmaddu ay ka sii fiican tahay nacasnimada, sida iftiinku uu gudcurka uga fiican yahay oo kale.
And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.
14 Ninkii xigmadda leh indhihiisu madaxiisay ku yaallaan, oo nacasku gudcur buu ku dhex socdaa, laakiinse waxaan gartay inuu isku wax dhammaantood ku dhoco.
The wise—his eyes [are] in his head, and the fool is walking in darkness, and I also knew that one event happens with them all;
15 Oo haddana waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Wixii nacaska ku dhaca anigana way igu dhici doonaan, haddaba bal maxaan uga xigmad badnaaday? Markaasaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
and I said in my heart, “As it happens with the fool, it happens also with me, and why am I then more wise?” And I spoke in my heart, that also this [is] vanity:
16 Waayo, kan xigmadda leh lama xusuusto ilaa weligiis xataa sida aan nacaska loo xusuusan, maxaa yeelay, wakhtiga soo socda waxa haatan jooga oo dhan waa la wada illoobi doonaa. Oo bal kan xigmadda lahu wuxuu u dhintaa sida nacaska oo kale!
That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—for all time, for that which [is] already, [in] the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dies the wise? With the fool!
17 Sidaas daraaddeed nolosha waan nacay, maxaa yeelay, shuqulka qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhammu dhib buu ii ahaa, waayo, kulli waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha.
And I have hated life, for sad to me [is] the work that has been done under the sun, for the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit.
18 Wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan waan nacay, maxaa yeelay, waa inaan uga tago ninka iga dambeeya.
And I have hated all my labor that I labor at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me.
19 Bal yaase yaqaan inuu ahaan doono nin xigmad leh amase nacas? Kolleyse isagaa u talin doona hawshaydii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo aan xigmad ku muujiyey oo dhan. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
And who knows whether he is wise or foolish? Yet he rules over all my labor that I have labored at, and that I have done wisely under the sun! This [is] also vanity.
20 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaan uga qalbi jabay wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan.
And I turned around to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor that I labored at under the sun.
21 Waayo, waxaa jira nin hawshiisa xigmad, iyo aqoon, iyo guul ku sameeya, oo haddana uga taga nin aan ku hawshoon. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo xaqdarro.
For there is a man whose labor [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who has not labored therein he gives it—his portion! Even this [is] vanity and a great evil.
22 Bal maxaa nin ka helaa hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan iyo dabagalka qalbigiisaba?
For what has been to a man by all his labor, and by the thought of his heart that he labored at under the sun?
23 Waayo, maalmihiisa oo dhammu waa u murug, dhibaatadiisuna waa u tiiraanyo, oo xataa habeenkii qalbigiisu ma nasto. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart has not lain down; this [is] also vanity.
24 Nin inuu wax cuno oo wax cabbo oo uu hawshiisa si wanaagsan ugu raaxaysto wax uga roon lama arko, oo taasna waxaan arkay inay tahay wax gacanta Ilaah ka yimid.
There is nothing good in a man who eats, and has drunk, and has shown his soul good in his labor. This also I have seen that it [is] from the hand of God.
25 Waayo, bal yaa wax cuni kara, yaase raaxaysan kara in iga badan?
For who eats and who hurries out more than I?
26 Waayo, qofkii Ilaah ka farxiyo wuxuu siiyaa xigmad iyo aqoon iyo farxad, laakiinse dembilaha wuxuu siiyaa dhib inuu wax u ururiyo oo uu taallaysto si uu u siiyo kan Ilaah ka farxiya. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
For to a man who [is] good before Him, He has given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He has given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this [is] vanity and distress of spirit.
