Wacdiyahii 2
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 mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.
2 Qosol waxaan ka idhi, Waa waalli! Farxadna waxaan ka idhi, Bal maxay taraysaa?
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
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 searched in mine heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, mine heart yet guiding [me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
4 Waxaan samaystay shuqullo waaweyn, guryana waan dhistay, beero canab ahna waan beertay.
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;
5 Waxaan samaystay beero iyo firdows, oo waxaan ku dhex beeray geed midho cayn kastaba leh.
I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit:
6 Waxaan samaystay balliyo biya ah oo laga waraabiyo kaynta dhirtu ka baxdo.
I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared:
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 bought menservants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were 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 gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, concubines very many.
9 Sidaasaan u weynaa oo uga maal badnaa kuwii Yeruusaalem iiga horreeyey oo dhan, oo weliba xigmaddaydiina way igu hadhay.
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained 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 whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labour; and this was my portion from all my labour.
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.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit 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 myself to behold wisdom, and madness and folly; for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been already done.
13 Markaasaan gartay in xigmaddu ay ka sii fiican tahay nacasnimada, sida iftiinku uu gudcurka uga fiican yahay oo kale.
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth 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 man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to 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.
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also was 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!
For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been already forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as 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.
So I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me: for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
18 Wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan waan nacay, maxaa yeelay, waa inaan uga tago ninka iga dambeeya.
And I hated all my labour wherein I laboured under the sun: seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be 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 knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.
20 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaan uga qalbi jabay wixii aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshooday oo dhan.
Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour wherein I had laboured 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 labour is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also 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 hath a man of all his labour, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboureth 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 [but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is 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 better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
25 Waayo, bal yaa wax cuni kara, yaase raaxaysan kara in iga badan?
For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, 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 the man that pleaseth him [God] giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
