Wacdiyahii 1
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii wacdiyihii ahaa ina Daa'uud oo Yeruusaalem boqorka ku ahaa.
The wordis of Ecclesiastes, sone of Dauid, the kyng of Jerusalem.
2 Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa wax aan waxba tarayn, waa wax aan waxba tarayn, wax waluba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.
The vanyte of vanytees, seide Ecclesiastes; the vanyte of vanytees, and alle thingis ben vanite.
3 Bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo nin ka hela hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan?
What hath a man more of alle his trauel, bi which he traueilith vndur the sunne?
4 Qarni baa taga, oo qarni kalena wuu yimaadaa, laakiinse dhulku weligiisba wuu waaraa.
Generacioun passith awei, and generacioun cometh; but the erthe stondith with outen ende.
5 Oo qorraxduna way soo baxdaa, oo haddana way dhacdaa, oo waxay ku degdegtaa meeshii ay ka soo baxdo.
The sunne risith, and goith doun, and turneth ayen to his 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.
and there it risith ayen, and cumpassith bi the south, and turneth ayen to the north. The spirit cumpassynge alle thingis goith `in cumpas, and turneth ayen in to hise cerclis.
7 Webiyaasha oo dhammu waxay ku shubmaan badda, oo weli badduna ma buuxsanto, oo webiyaashu meeshii ay ku socdaan ayay haddana ku sii socdaan.
Alle floodis entren in to the see, and the see fletith not ouer the markis set of God; the floodis turnen ayen to the place fro whennus tho comen forth, that tho flowe eft.
8 Wax kastaaba waa daal miidhan, dadku ma sheegi karo innaba. Ishu wax arag kama dheregto, dhegtuna waxmaqlid kama buuxsanto.
Alle thingis ben hard; a man may not declare tho thingis bi word; the iye is not fillid bi siyt, nether the eere is fillid bi hering.
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 thing that was, that that schal come? What is that thing that is maad, that that schal be maad?
10 Miyey jiraan wax la odhan karo, Bal eeg, waxanu waa cusub yihiine? Way jiri jireen tan iyo waayihii inaga horreeyey.
No thing vndir the sunne is newe, nether ony man may seie, Lo! this thing is newe; for now it yede bifore in worldis, that weren bifore vs.
11 Waxyaalihii hore lama xusuusto, oo waxyaalaha iman doonana innaba laguma xusuusan doono kuwa dabadeed iman doona.
Mynde of the formere thingis is not, but sotheli nether thenkyng of tho thingis, that schulen come afterward, schal be at hem that schulen come in the last tyme.
12 Anigan wacdiyaha ahu boqor baan reer binu Israa'iil ugu ahaa Yeruusaalem.
I Ecclesiastes was king of 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 Y purposide in my soule to seke and enserche wiseli of alle thingis, that ben maad vndur the sunne. God yaf this werste ocupacioun to the sones of men, that thei schulden be ocupied therynne.
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 siy alle thingis that ben maad vndur the sunne, and lo! alle thingis ben vanyte and turment of spirit.
15 Wixii qalloocan lama toosin karo, oo wixii dhimmanna lama tirin karo.
Weiward men ben amendid of hard; and the noumbre of foolis is greet with outen ende.
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 spak in myn herte, and Y seide, Lo! Y am made greet, and Y passide in wisdom alle men, that weren bifore me in Jerusalem; and my soule siy many thingis wiseli, and Y lernede.
17 Waxaan qalbigayga siiyey inaan xigmad ogaado iyo inaan waalli iyo nacasnimo ogaado, oo waxaan gartay inay taasuna tahay dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
And Y yaf myn herte, that Y schulde knowe prudence and doctryn, and errours and foli. And Y knew that in these thingis also was trauel and turment of spirit;
18 Waayo, xigmaddii badan caloolxumo badan baa ku jirta, oo kii aqoon korodhsadaana murug buu sii korodhsadaa.
for in myche wisdom is myche indignacioun, and he that encressith kunnyng, encreessith also trauel.
