Wacdiyahii 8

1 Yaa ninka xigmadda leh la mid ah? Yaase wax micnihiisa yaqaan? Nin xigmaddiisu wejigiisay dhalaalisaa, oo adaygga wejigiisuna wuu beddelmaa.

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2 Waxaan kugula talinayaa inaad boqorka amarkiisa dhawrtid, dhaartii Ilaah ee aad ku dhaaratay aawadeed.

I [counsel thee], Keep the king’s command, and that in regard of the oath of God.

3 Ha ku degdegin inaad hortiisa ka tagtid, wax shar ahna ha ku sii adkaan, waayo, isagu wuxuu sameeyaa wax alla wuxuu ku farxo.

Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4 Waayo, boqorka hadalkiisu xoog buu leeyahay, oo yaase isaga ku odhan kara, War maxaad samaynaysaa?

Because the king’s word [hath] power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

5 Ku alla kii amarka dhawra innaba waxyeello ma gaadhi doonto, oo ninka xigmadda leh qalbigiisuna wakhtiga iyo garsooriddaba wuu gartaa.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment:

6 Maxaa yeelay, xaal kastaaba wuxuu leeyahay wakhti iyo garsoorid, in kastoo nin dhibaatadiisu iyadoo weyn ay saaran tahay.

for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:

7 Maxaa yeelay, isagu garan maayo waxa ahaan doona, waayo, bal yaa isaga u sheegi kara siday u ahaan doonaan?

for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?

8 Ninna amar uma leh inuu nafta ceshado, oo maalinta dhimashadana amar uma leh. Oo wakhtiga dagaalkaasna fasax ma leh, oo sharnimaduna ma samatabbixin doonto kuwa iyada leh.

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in [that] war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.

9 Waxaas oo dhan ayaan arkay, oo qalbigaygana waan u soo jeediyey shuqul kasta oo qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan. Waxaa jira wakhti nin mid kale u taliyo oo uu wax yeelo.

All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt.

10 Oo haddana waxaan arkay sharrowyadii oo la aasay, kuwaas oo iman jiray oo ka bixi jiray meeshii quduuska ahayd, oo magaaladii ay waxaas ku dhex sameeyeenna waa laga illoobay. Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.

And withal I saw the wicked buried, and they came [to the grave]; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.

11 Shuqulka sharka ah xukunkiisa dhaqso looma oofiyo, oo sidaas daraaddeed binu-aadmiga qalbigiisu inuu shar sameeyo aad buu u damcaa.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

12 In kastoo dembile boqol jeer shar sameeyo, oo cimrigiisuna aad u sii raago, haddana hubaal waxaan ogahay in kuwa Ilaah ka cabsada oo hortiisa ka baqaa ay nabdoonaan doonaan.

Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:

13 Laakiinse sharrowgu ma nabdoonaan doono, oo cimrigiisuna sii ma raagi doono sida hooska baabba'u uusan u raagin, maxaa yeelay, isagu Ilaah hortiisa kama cabsado.

but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

14 Waxaa jira wax aan waxba tarayn oo dhulka lagu sameeyo, waana inay jiraan kuwa xaqa ah oo ay wax ku dhacaan sida shuqulka kuwa sharka ah, oo haddana ay jiraan kuwa sharka ah oo ay wax ku dhacaan sida shuqulka kuwa xaqa ah. Oo waxaan idhi, Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be righteous men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

15 Markaasaan farax u bogay, maxaa yeelay binu-aadmigu inta qorraxda ka hoosaysa kuma haysto wax uga wanaagsan inuu wax cuno, oo wax cabbo, oo uu iska farxo, waayo, taasaa isaga raacaysa intuu hawshoodo cimrigiisa Ilaah qorraxda hoosteeda ku siiyo.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him in his labour [all] the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.

16 Markaan qalbigayga u soo jeedshay inaan xigmad garto, iyo inaan arko hawsha dhulka lagu sameeyo (waayo, waxaa jira mid aan habeen iyo maalin toona indhihiisa hurdo saarin),

When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes: )

17 markaasaan shuqulka Ilaah oo dhan fiiriyey, oo gartay inaan binu-aadmigu karin inuu soo wada ogaado shuqulka qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, in kastoo laysku dhibo in la soo ogaado, haddana taas innaba lama soo heli karo, oo weliba xataa haddii nin xigmad lahu uu u maleeyo inuu soo ogaado, haddana soo ma uu ogaan kari doono.

then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
