Wacdiyahii 1
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii wacdiyihii ahaa ina Daa'uud oo Yeruusaalem boqorka ku ahaa.
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king of Israel in Jerusalem.
2 Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa wax aan waxba tarayn, waa wax aan waxba tarayn, wax waluba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 Bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo nin ka hela hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan?
What advantage [is there] to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun?
4 Qarni baa taga, oo qarni kalena wuu yimaadaa, laakiinse dhulku weligiisba wuu waaraa.
A generation goes, and a generation comes: but the earth stands for ever.
5 Oo qorraxduna way soo baxdaa, oo haddana way dhacdaa, oo waxay ku degdegtaa meeshii ay ka soo baxdo.
And the sun arises, and the sun goes down and draws toward its place;
6 Dabayshu waxay tagtaa xagga koonfureed, oo haddana waxay u soo rogmataa xagga woqooyi, oo had iyo goorba way wareegtaa, oo dabayshu waxay ku soo noqotaa wareeggeedii.
arising there it proceeds southward, and goes round toward the north. The wind goes round and round, and the wind returns to its circuits.
7 Webiyaasha oo dhammu waxay ku shubmaan badda, oo weli badduna ma buuxsanto, oo webiyaashu meeshii ay ku socdaan ayay haddana ku sii socdaan.
All the rivers run into the sea; and yet the sea is not filled: to the place whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
8 Wax kastaaba waa daal miidhan, dadku ma sheegi karo innaba. Ishu wax arag kama dheregto, dhegtuna waxmaqlid kama buuxsanto.
All things are full of labour; a man will not be able to speak [of them]: neither shall the eye be satisfied with seeing, neither shall the ear be filled with hearing.
9 Wixii hore u jiri jiray waa waxa dibna u jiri doona, oo wixii la sameeyeyna waa waxa hadda ka dib la samayn doono, oo inta qorraxda ka hoosaysana wax cusub laguma arko.
What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Miyey jiraan wax la odhan karo, Bal eeg, waxanu waa cusub yihiine? Way jiri jireen tan iyo waayihii inaga horreeyey.
[Who is he] that shall speak and say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have passed before us.
11 Waxyaalihii hore lama xusuusto, oo waxyaalaha iman doonana innaba laguma xusuusan doono kuwa dabadeed iman doona.
There is no memorial to the first things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be with them that shall at the last [time].
12 Anigan wacdiyaha ahu boqor baan reer binu Israa'iil ugu ahaa Yeruusaalem.
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 Oo waxaan qalbigayga oo dhan u soo jeedshay inaan doono oo xigmad ku baadho waxyaalaha samada hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan. Dhibaatadan kulul ayaa Ilaah binu-aadmigu u siiyey inay ku hawshoodaan.
And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith.
14 Shuqullada qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan waan arkay, oo bal eeg, dhammaantood waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
I beheld all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, beheld, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit.
15 Wixii qalloocan lama toosin karo, oo wixii dhimmanna lama tirin karo.
That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered.
16 Qalbigaygaan la hadlay, oo waxaan ku idhi, Bal eeg, anigu waxaan helay xigmad ka sii badan tii kuwii hortaydii Yeruusaalem u talin jiray oo dhan, oo qalbigaygu aad buu u arkay xigmad badan iyo aqoon dheer.
I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.
17 Waxaan qalbigayga siiyey inaan xigmad ogaado iyo inaan waalli iyo nacasnimo ogaado, oo waxaan gartay inay taasuna tahay dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.
18 Waayo, xigmaddii badan caloolxumo badan baa ku jirta, oo kii aqoon korodhsadaana murug buu sii korodhsadaa.
For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow.
