Ecclesiastes 3
1 All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
Wanni hundinuu yeroo qaba; hojiin samiidhaa gaditti hojjetamu hundis waqtii qaba:
2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
Dhalachuuf yeroo qaba; duʼuufis yeroo qaba; dhaabuuf yeroo qaba; buqqisuufis yeroo qaba;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
ajjeesuuf yeroo qaba; fayyisuufis yeroo qaba; diiguuf yeroo qaba; ijaaruufis yeroo qaba;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
booʼuuf yeroo qaba; kolfuufis yeroo qaba; gadduuf yeroo qaba; sirbuufis yeroo qaba;
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
dhagaa bittinneessuuf yeroo qaba; walitti qabuufis yeroo qaba; hammachuuf yeroo qaba; hammachuu dhiisuufis yeroo qaba;

9 What hath man more of his labour?
Hojjetaan tokko dadhabbii isaa irraa buʼaa maalii argata?
10 I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Ani baʼaa Waaqni namoota irra kaaʼe argeera.
11 He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.
Inni waan hunda yeruma isaatti miidhagsee tolcheera. Akkasumas yaada baraa baraa garaa namootaa keessa kaaʼe. Taʼus isaan waan Waaqni jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjete beekuu hin dandaʼan.
12 And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
Ani akka namootaaf bara jireenya isaanii keessa wanni gammaduu fi waan gaarii hojjechuu caalu tokko iyyuu hin jirre nan beeka.
13 For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa nyaatee dhugee buʼaa hojii isaa hundatti gammaduun kennaa Waaqaa ti.
14 I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
Ani akka wanni Waaqni hojjetu hundi bara baraan jiraatu beeka; wanni tokko illee itti hin dabalamu; wanni tokko iyyuus irraa hin fudhatamu. Waaqni akka namoonni isa sodaataniif waan kana godha.
15 That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
Wanni amma jiru kam iyyuu duraanuu tureera; wanni dhufuuf jirus duraanuu jira ture; Waaqni waan darbes deebisee fida.
16 I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
Anis aduudhaa gaditti waan biraa nan arge; kunis: Iddoo murtiin qajeelaan jiraachuu malu, hamminatu ture; iddoo qajeelummaan jiraachuu malu immoo jalʼinatu ture.
17 And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
Ani garaa koo keessatti akkana jedheen yaade; “Waaqni qajeeltotaa fi hamoota, gara murtiitti ni fida; wanni hundinuu, hojiin hundinuus yeroo ni qabaatii.”
18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
Ani amma illee akkana jedhee garaa koo keessatti nan yaade; “Waaqni akka isaan akkuma bineensotaa taʼuu isaanii arganiif ilmaan namaa qora.
19 Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
Wanni nama irra gaʼu, bineensota irras ni gaʼa; lachan isaanii iyyuu waanuma tokkotu eeggata; akkuma inni tokko duʼu, inni kaanis ni duʼa. Hundi isaanii hafuuruma tokko qabu; namni bineensa caalaa faayidaa argatu tokko illee hin qabu. Wanni hundinuu faayidaa hin qabu.
20 And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
Isaan hundi idduma tokko dhaqu; hundinuu biyyoo irraa dhufan; hundinuus biyyootti deebiʼu.
21 Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
Akka hafuurri namaa ol baʼee hafuurri bineensaa immoo lafa keessa seenu eenyutu beeka?”
22 And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
Kanaafuu ani sababii wanni sun ixaa isaa taʼeef akka namaaf wanni hojii isaatti gammaduu caalu tokko iyyuu hin jirre nan arge. Akka inni waan isa duubaan taʼu arguuf eenyutu isa fiduu dandaʼa?
