< Wacdiyahii 9 >
1 Waxyaalahan oo dhan qalbigaygaan kaga fiirsaday si aan u baadho in kuwa xaqa ah iyo kuwa xigmadda leh, iyo shuqulladooduba ay gacanta Ilaah ku jiraan. Binu-aadmigu garan maayo inay jacayl tahay iyo inay nacayb tahay toona. Wax waluba iyagay ka horreeyaan.
All these things have I considered in my heart, that I might carefully understand them: there are just men and wise men, and their works are in the hand of God: and yet man knoweth not whether he be worthy of love, or hatred:
2 Wax kastaaba isku si bay dadka oo dhan ugu yimaadaan, oo isku wax baa ku dhaca ka xaqa ah iyo ka sharka ahba, ka wanaagsan iyo ka xunba, ka nadiifta ah iyo ka aan nadiifta ahaynba, ka allabariga bixiya iyo ka aan allabariga bixinba. Sida kan wanaagsanu yahay ayaa dembiluhuna yahay, oo ka dhaartaana waa la mid kan dhaarta ka cabsada.
But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth.
3 Wax xun baa ku jira waxa qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan, waana in isku wax ay dadka oo dhan ku dhacaan. Oo weliba qalbiga binu-aadmiga shar baa ka buuxa, oo qalbigoodana intay nool yihiin waalli baa ku jirta, oo taas dabadeedna kuwii dhintay ayay u tagaan.
This is a very great evil among all things that are done under the sun, that the same things happen to all men: whereby also the hearts of the children of men are filled with evil, and with contempt while they live, and afterwards they shall be brought down to hell. ()
4 Kii kuwa nool oo dhan la jira rajuu leeyahay, waayo, eeygii noolu waa ka wanaagsan yahay libaax dhintay.
There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 Waayo, kuwa noolu way og yihiin inay dhiman doonaan, laakiinse kuwa dhintay waxba ma oga, oo innaba abaalgud dambe ma heli doonaan, waayo, iyaga waa la illoobay.
For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Oo weliba jacaylkoodii iyo nacaybkoodii iyo hinaasiddoodiiba way wada baabbe'een, oo innaba qayb dambe kuma lahaan doonaan waxa qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan.
Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun.
7 Orod oo tag, oo kibistaada farxad ku cun, oo khamrigaagana qalbi istareexsan ku cab, waayo, Ilaah shuqulladaadii horuu u aqbalay.
Go then, and eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness: because thy works please God.
8 Had iyo goorba dharkaagu wax cad ha ahaado, oo madaxaaguna yuusan saliid waayin.
At all times let thy garments be white, and let not oil depart from thy head.
9 Naagtaada aad jeceshahay farxad kula noolow intaad ku nooshahay cimrigaaga aan waxba tarayn ee Ilaah qorraxda hoosteeda kugu siiyey oo dhan, waayo, taasu waa qaybtaadii aad ku heshay noloshan iyo hawshaadii aad qorraxda hoosteeda ku dhibtootay.
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy unsteady life, which are given to thee under the sun, all the time of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherewith thou labourest under the sun.
10 Wax alla wixii gacantaadu hesho inay samayso xooggaaga oo dhan ku samee, waayo, She'ool oo aad tegaysid shuqul iyo hindiso iyo aqoon iyo xigmad toona laguma arko. (Sheol )
Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening. (Sheol )
11 Markaasaan mar kale fiirsaday, oo waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay inaan kuwa dheereeyaa mar kasta tartanka ku badin, ama aan kuwa xoogga badanu mar kasta dagaalka adkaan, ama aan kuwa xigmadda lahu mar kasta kibis helin, ama aan kuwa garaadka ahu mar kasta hodan noqon, ama aan saanacyada mar kasta raalli laga ahayn, laakiinse waxaa kulligood hela wakhti iyo nasiib.
I turned me to another thing, and I saw that under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the learned, nor favour to the skillful: but time and chance in all.
12 Waayo, ninna wedkiisa ma yaqaan. Sida kalluun shabag xun lagu qabto, iyo sida shimbirro dabin ku dhaca, saasoo kalaa binu-aadmigana wakhti xun lagu dabaa, markii wedku si kedis ah ugu yimaado.
Man knoweth not his own end: but as fishes are taken with the hook, and as birds are caught with the snare, so men are taken in the evil time, when it shall suddenly come upon them.
13 Oo xigmad caynkan ah ayaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, iyana way ila weynayd.
This wisdom also I have seen under the sun, and it seemed to me to be very great:
14 Waxaa jirtay magaalo yar oo ay dad tiro yaru dhexdeeda joogaan, oo waxaa iyadii ku soo duulay boqor weyn. Wuu hareereeyey oo dhufayso waaweyn hareereheeda ka dhistay.
A little city, and few men in it: there came against it a great king, and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, and the siege was perfect.
15 Haddana waxaa laga dhex helay nin miskiin ah oo xigmad leh, oo isna xigmaddiisii ayuu magaaladii ku samatabbixiyey, laakiinse haddana ninkaas miskiinka ah ciduna ma xusuusan.
Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man.
16 Markaasaan idhi, Xigmaddu xoogga way ka fiican tahay, hase ahaatee ninkii miskiin ah xigmaddiisa waa la quudhsadaa, oo erayadiisana lama dhegaysto.
And I said that wisdom is better than strength: how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, and his words not heard?
17 Kuwa xigmadda leh erayadoodii xasilloonaan lagu maqlaa waa ka sii wanaagsan yihiin qaylada kan nacasyada ka dhex taliya.
The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools.
18 Xigmaddu waa ka fiican tahay hubka dagaalka, laakiinse dembile qudha ayaa wax badan oo wanaagsan baabbi'iya.
Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: and he that shall offend in one, shall lose many good things.
