Wacdiyahii 3
1 Wax kastaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti u khaas ah, wax kasta oo samada ka hooseeyaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti go'an.
There is a right/correct time for everything, a time for everything that we do in this world.
2 Waxaa jira wakhti la dhasho, iyo wakhti la dhinto; wakhti wax la beero, iyo wakhti wixii la beeray la gurto;
There is a time to be born, and there is a time to die. There is a time to plant [seeds], and there is a time to harvest crops.
3 wakhti wax la dilo, iyo wakhti wax la bogsiiyo; wakhti wax la dumiyo, iyo wakhti wax la dhiso;
There is a time to kill [people], and there is a time to heal [people]. There is a time to tear things down, and there is a time to build things.
4 wakhti la ooyo iyo wakhti la qoslo; wakhti la baroorto, iyo wakhti la cayaaro;
There is a time to cry, and there is a time to laugh. There is a time to mourn, and there is a time to dance [joyfully].
5 wakhti dhagaxyo la xooro, iyo wakhti dhagaxyo la soo ururiyo; wakhti laysku duubo, iyo wakhti iskuduubidda la daayo;
There is a time to throw away stones [from a field], and there is a time to gather stones [to build walls/houses]. There is a time to embrace [people], and there is a time to not embrace [people].
6 wakhti wax la doondoono, iyo wakhti wax la lumiyo; wakhti wax la sii haysto iyo wakhti wax la xooro;
There is a time to search for things, and there is a time to stop searching for things. There is a time to keep/save things, and there is a time to throw things away.
7 wakhti wax la jeexjeexo, iyo wakhti wax la tolo; wakhti la aamuso iyo wakhti la hadlo;
There is a time to tear [our old clothes], and there is a time to mend [clothes]. There is a time to say nothing, and there is a time when we should speak.
8 wakhti wax la jeclaado iyo wakhti wax la necbaado; wakhti dagaaleed, iyo wakhti nabdeed.
There is a time when we should love [things that people do], and there is a time when we should hate [things that people do]. There is a time for war, and there is a time for peace.
9 Kii shaqeeyaa bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu ka helaa hawshiisa uu ku hawshoodo?
(What do people gain from all the work that they do?/It seems that people gain very little from all the work that they do [RHQ]).
10 Dhibaatadii Ilaah binu-aadmiga u siiyey inay ku hawshoodaan ayaan arkay.
I have seen the work that God has given people to do.
11 Wax kastuu ka dhigay inay wakhtigooda quruxsanaadaan, oo haddana daa'imnimadii ayuu qalbigooda ku beeray, hase ahaatee binu-aadmigu ma uu garto shuqulkii Ilaah sameeyey tan iyo bilowgii ilaa ugudambaysta.
God has appointed a time that is right/correct for everything to happen. He has [also] caused people to realize that there are things that will endure forever. But in spite of that, no one can completely understand everything that God has done, from the time that he starts doing things until he finishes them.
12 Waan ogahay inaan binu-aadmigu lahayn wax uga wanaagsan inay iska farxaan oo ay cimrigooda oo dhan wanaag sameeyaan mooyaane.
I know that the best [LIT] thing for us people to do is to rejoice and to do good things [all] during the time that we are alive.
13 Oo weliba waa hibo Ilaah in nin kastaaba wax cuno oo wax cabbo, oo uu wanaag ku istareexo intuu hawshoodo oo dhan.
And I also know that everyone should eat and drink, and enjoy the work that they do. Those are things that God gives to us.
14 Waxaan ogahay in wax kasta oo Ilaah sameeyaaba ay weligood sii raagayaan. Waxba laguma dari karo, waxbana lagama dhimi karo. Oo Ilaah wuxuu saas u yeelay in dadku ka cabsado.
I [also] know that what God does endures forever. No one can add to what God does, and no one can take away from the things that God does. God does those things in order that people would revere him.
15 Waxa haatan jiraa horeba way u jireen, oo waxa jiri doonaana horeba way u jireen, oo Ilaahna wuxuu doondoonaa wixii hore u dhaafay.
Things that exist now have already existed previously, and things that will happen in the future have already happened previously; God causes the same things to happen many times.
16 Weliba waxaan kaloo qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay in meeshii garsooridda ay caddaaladdarro ku jirto, oo meeshii xaqnimadana ay xumaanu ku jirto.
Furthermore, I saw that on this earth [MTY], even in the courts where we expect judges to make right decisions about what people had done, they did many wicked [DOU] things.
17 Waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Ilaah baa u kala garsoori doona kan xaqa ah iyo kan sharka ah, waayo, wax kasta iyo shuqul kastaaba halkaasay wakhti ku leeyihiin.
[So] I said to myself [SYN], “God will judge [both] righteous [people] and wicked [people]; there is a time [for him to do that], because there is a time for him to do everything.”
18 Waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Waxaa Ilaah doonaya inuu binu-aadmiga u tijaabiyo inay ogaadaan inay xayawaan yihiin.
And regarding humans, I [also] said to myself, “God is testing us, to show us that [in one way] people are no different than animals,
19 Waayo, wixii binu-aadmiga ku dhacaaba xayawaankana way ku dhacaan, oo xataa isku wax baa ku dhaca, oo sidii midkood u dhinto ayaa kan kalena u dhinta, oo weliba dhammaantood waxay leeyihiin isku neef, oo dadku xayawaanka waxba ma dheera, waayo, wax kastaaba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
because what happens to people happens to animals. Animals die, and people die. We all must breathe [to remain alive]. [With regard to that], people have no advantage over animals, so I have a difficult time understanding that.
20 Kulli isku meel bay tagaan, oo kulligood ciiddaa laga abuuray, oo kulligoodna ciidday ku wada noqon doonaan.
[People and animals] all die and are buried. We are all made of soil, and [when we die], our corpses become soil again.
21 Waayo, bal yaa yaqaan in dadka naftiisu ay kor tagto iyo in xayawaanka naftiisu ay dhulka hoos u tagto iyo in kale?
No one knows [RHQ] for sure that when we die, our souls/spirits go up to heaven and the souls/spirits of animals go down to the place where the dead are.”
22 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ogaaday inaan dadka wax u dhaama la arag in nin kasta shuqulladiisa ku farxo mooyaane, waayo, taasu waa qaybtiisii, maxaa yeelay, bal yaa isaga dib u soo celinaya inuu arko waxa dabadiis ahaan doona?
So I concluded that the best thing for [us] people to do is to be happy about the work that we do, because that is what God has given to us. I say that because no one of us [RHQ] knows what happens to us after we die.
