Wacdiyahii 1
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii wacdiyihii ahaa ina Daa'uud oo Yeruusaalem boqorka ku ahaa.
The words of Ecclesiastes, the son of David, the king of Jerusalem.
2 Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa wax aan waxba tarayn, waa wax aan waxba tarayn, wax waluba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
Ecclesiastes said: Vanity of vanities! Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity!
3 Bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo nin ka hela hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan?
What more does a man have from all his labor, as he labors under the sun?
4 Qarni baa taga, oo qarni kalena wuu yimaadaa, laakiinse dhulku weligiisba wuu waaraa.
A generation passes away, and a generation arrives. But the earth stands forever.
5 Oo qorraxduna way soo baxdaa, oo haddana way dhacdaa, oo waxay ku degdegtaa meeshii ay ka soo baxdo.
The sun rises and sets; it returns to its place, and from there, being born again,
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.
it circles through the south, and arcs toward the north. The spirit continues on, illuminating everything in its circuit, and turning again in its cycle.
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 rivers enter into the sea, and the sea does not overflow. To the place from which the rivers go out, they return, so that they may flow again.
8 Wax kastaaba waa daal miidhan, dadku ma sheegi karo innaba. Ishu wax arag kama dheregto, dhegtuna waxmaqlid kama buuxsanto.
Such things are difficult; man is not able to explain them with words. The eye is not satisfied by seeing, nor is the ear fulfilled by 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 it that has existed? The same shall exist in the future. What is it that has been done? The same shall continue to be done.
10 Miyey jiraan wax la odhan karo, Bal eeg, waxanu waa cusub yihiine? Way jiri jireen tan iyo waayihii inaga horreeyey.
There is nothing new under the sun. Neither is anyone able to say: “Behold, this is new!” For it has already been brought forth in the ages that were before us.
11 Waxyaalihii hore lama xusuusto, oo waxyaalaha iman doonana innaba laguma xusuusan doono kuwa dabadeed iman doona.
There is no remembrance of the former things. Indeed, neither shall there be any record of past things in the future, for those who will exist at the very end.
12 Anigan wacdiyaha ahu boqor baan reer binu Israa'iil ugu ahaa Yeruusaalem.
I, Ecclesiastes, was king of Israel at 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 was determined in my mind to seek and to investigate wisely, concerning all that is done under the sun. God has given this very difficult task to the sons of men, so that they may be occupied by it.
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 have seen all that is done under the sun, and behold: all is emptiness and an affliction of the spirit.
15 Wixii qalloocan lama toosin karo, oo wixii dhimmanna lama tirin karo.
The perverse are unwilling to be corrected, and the number of the foolish is boundless.
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 have spoken in my heart, saying: “Behold, I have achieved greatness, and I have surpassed all the wise who were before me in Jerusalem.” And my mind has contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned.
17 Waxaan qalbigayga siiyey inaan xigmad ogaado iyo inaan waalli iyo nacasnimo ogaado, oo waxaan gartay inay taasuna tahay dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
And I have dedicated my heart, so that I may know prudence and doctrine, and also error and foolishness. Yet I recognize that, in these things also, there is hardship, and affliction of the spirit.
18 Waayo, xigmaddii badan caloolxumo badan baa ku jirta, oo kii aqoon korodhsadaana murug buu sii korodhsadaa.
Because of this, with much wisdom there is also much anger. And whoever adds knowledge, also adds hardship.
