Mhubiri 9
1 Kwa kuwa nilifikiri haya yote katika akili zangu kufahamu kuhusu watu wenye haki na wenye hekima na matendo yao. Wote wako katika mikono ya Mungu. Hakuna anayefahamu kama upendo au chuki itakuja kwa mtu.
for [obj] all this to give: put to(wards) heart my and to/for to explain [obj] all this which [the] righteous and [the] wise and work their in/on/with hand: power [the] God also love also hating nothing to know [the] man [the] all to/for face: before their
2 kila mmoja ana mwisho sawa. Mwisho sawa una subiria watu wenye haki na waovu, wema, walio safi na wasio safi, yeye atoaye dhabibu na yule asiye dhabihu. Kama vile watu wema watakufa wenye dhambi nao watakufa vivyo hivyo. kama vile yule anayeapa atakavyo kufa, vivyo hivyo mtu yule aogopaye kuweka kiapo naye atakufa.
[the] all like/as as which to/for all accident one to/for righteous and to/for wicked to/for pleasant (and to/for bad: evil *X*) and to/for pure and to/for unclean and to/for to sacrifice and to/for which nothing he to sacrifice like/as pleasant like/as to sin [the] to swear like/as as which oath afraid
3 Kuna mwisho mwovu kwa kila kitu kinachofanyika chini ya jua, na mwisho kwa kila mtu. Moyo wa mwanadamu umejaa uovu, na wazimu uko katika mioyo yao wakati wanaishi. Hivyo baada ya hilo wanaenda kwa wafu.
this bad: evil in/on/with all which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun for accident one to/for all and also heart son: child [the] man full bad: evil and madness in/on/with heart their in/on/with life their and after him to(wards) [the] to die
4 Kwa kuwa yeyote anayeungana na wote walio hai kuna tumaini, kama vile mbwa aliye hai ni bora kuliko simba aliye kufa.
for who? which (to unite *Q(K)*) to(wards) all [the] alive there trust for to/for dog alive he/she/it pleasant from [the] lion [the] to die
5 Kwa kuwa watu walio hai, lakini walio kufa hawajui chochote. Hawana tena tuzo yeyote kwa sababu kumbukumbu yao imesahaulika.
for [the] alive to know which/that to die and [the] to die nothing they to know anything and nothing still to/for them wages for to forget memorial their
6 Upendo wao, chuki na wivu vimekatiliwa mbali muda mwingi. Hawatapata sehemu katika kitu chochote kinachofanyika chini ya jua.
also love their also hating their also jealousy their already to perish and portion nothing to/for them still to/for forever: enduring in/on/with all which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun
7 Nenda zako, kula mkate wako kwa furaha, na kunywa mvinyo wako na moyo wa furaha, kwa kuwa Mungu huruhusu kusherehekea kazi njema.
to go: went to eat in/on/with joy food: bread your and to drink in/on/with heart pleasant wine your for already to accept [the] God [obj] deed your
8 Nguo zako ziwe nyeupe siku zote, na kichwa chako kipake mafuta.
in/on/with all time to be garment your white and oil upon head your not to lack
9 Ishi kwa furaha na mwanamke umpendaye siku zako zote za maisha yako ya ubatili, siku ambazo Mungu amekupatia chini ya jua wakati wa siku zako za ubatili. Hiyo ni thawabu kwa ajili ya kazi yako chini ya jua.
to see: enjoy life with woman: wife which to love: lover all day life vanity your which to give: give to/for you underneath: under [the] sun all day vanity your for he/she/it portion your in/on/with life and in/on/with trouble your which you(m. s.) laborious underneath: under [the] sun
10 Chochote mkono wako unakifanya, kifanye kwa nguvu zako kwa sababu hakuna kazi, au ufafanuzi au ujuzi au hekima katika Sheol, unapoenda. (Sheol h7585)
all which to find hand your to/for to make: do in/on/with strength your to make: do for nothing deed: work and explanation and knowledge and wisdom in/on/with hell: Sheol which you(m. s.) to go: went there [to] (Sheol h7585)
11 Nimeona baadhi ya vitu vyakuvutia chini ya jua: Mashindano hayatokani na watu wenye mbio. Vita havitokani na watu imara. Mkate hautokani na watu wenye busara. Mali hazitokani na watu wenye ufahamu. Kibali hakitokani na watu wenye ujuzi. Badala yake muda na bahati huwaathiri wao wote.
to return: again and to see: see underneath: under [the] sun for not to/for swift [the] race and not to/for mighty man [the] battle and also not to/for wise food: bread and also not to/for to understand riches and also not to/for to know favor for time and chance to meet [obj] all their
12 Kwa kuwa hakuna anaye fahamu wakati wake wa kufa, kama vile samaki wanaswavyo katika nyavu ya kifo, au kama vile ndege akamatwavyo katika mtego. Kama wanyama wanadamu wamefungwa katika nyakati mbaya ambazo ghafla huwaangukia.
for also not to know [the] man [obj] time his like/as fish which/that to grasp in/on/with net bad: evil and like/as bird [the] to grasp in/on/with snare like/as them to snare son: child [the] man to/for time bad: evil like/as which/that to fall: fall upon them suddenly
13 Pia nimeona hekima chini ya jua kwa namna ambayo kwangu ilionekana kubwa.
also this to see: see wisdom underneath: under [the] sun and great: large he/she/it to(wards) me
14 Kulikuwa na mji mdogo na watu wachache ndani yake, na mfalme mkuu akaja kinyume na mji huo na akauzingira na akajenga mahandaki kwa ajili ya kuushambulia.
city small and human in/on/with her little and to come (in): come to(wards) her king great: large and to turn: surround [obj] her and to build upon her siegework great: large
15 Na katika mji kulikuwa na masikini, mtu mwenye hekima, ambaye kwa hekima yake aliuokoa mji. Ila baadaye aliye mkumbuka yule masikini.
and to find in/on/with her man poor wise and to escape he/she/it [obj] [the] city in/on/with wisdom his and man not to remember [obj] [the] man [the] poor ([the] he/she/it *L(abh)*)
16 Hivyo, nikasema, “Hekima ni bora kuliko nguvu, lakini hekima ya mtu masikini hudharauliwa, na maneno yake hayasikilizwi.”
and to say I pleasant wisdom from might and wisdom [the] poor to despise and word his nothing they to hear: hear
17 Maneno ya watu wenye hekima yaliongewa polepole yanasikiwa vizuri kuliko makelele ya mtawala yeyote miongoni mwa wapumbavu.
word wise in/on/with quietness to hear: hear from outcry to rule in/on/with fool
18 Hekima ni bora kuliko silaha za vita, lakini mwenye dhambi mmoja anaweza kuharibu mazuri mengi.
pleasant wisdom from article/utensil battle and to sin one to perish welfare to multiply
