Ecclesiastes 1
1 The wordis of Ecclesiastes, sone of Dauid, the kyng of Jerusalem.
Dubbii lallabaa ilma Daawit, isa Yerusaalem keessaatti mootii taʼe sanaa:
2 The vanyte of vanytees, seide Ecclesiastes; the vanyte of vanytees, and alle thingis ben vanite.
Lallabichi, “Faayidaa hin qabu! Faayidaa hin qabu! Guutumaan guutuutti faayidaa hin qabu! Wanni hundinuu faayidaa hin qabu” jedha.
3 What hath a man more of alle his trauel, bi which he traueilith vndur the sunne?
Namni hojii isaa kan aduudhaa gaditti itti dadhabu hunda keessaa, buʼaa maalii argata?
4 Generacioun passith awei, and generacioun cometh; but the erthe stondith with outen ende.
Dhaloonni ni dhufa; dhaloonni ni darba; lafti garuu bara baraan jiraatti.
5 The sunne risith, and goith doun, and turneth ayen to his place;
Biiftuun ni baati; biiftuun ni lixxi; gara baate sanatti deebiʼuufis ni ariifatti.
6 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.
Bubbeen gara kibbaatti bubbisa; gara kaabaattis ni deebiʼa; innis naannaʼuma naannaʼee deema; karaa isaa irras deddeebiʼa.
7 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.
Lagni hundi galaanatti yaaʼa; galaanni garuu hin guutu. Lageen garuma dhufanitti deebiʼanii yaaʼu.
8 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.
Wanni hundinuu hamma namni tokko dubbachuu dandaʼu caalaa dadhabsiisaa dha. Iji argee hin quufu; yookaan gurri dhagaʼee hin guutu.
9 What is that thing that was, that that schal come? What is that thing that is maad, that that schal be maad?
Wanni duraan ture ammas ni taʼa; wanni duraan hojjetame ammas ni hojjetama; aduudhaa gaditti wanni haaraan tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
10 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.
Wanni namni tokko, “Ilaa! Wanni kun haaraa dha” jechuu dandaʼu kam iyyuu jiraa? Wanni kun duraanuu bara dheeraan dura as ture; bara keenyaan dura iyyuu asuma ture.
11 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.
Namoonni bara durii hin yaadataman; kanneen dhufuuf jiranis warra isaan duubaan dhufaniin hin yaadataman.
12 I Ecclesiastes was king of Israel in Jerusalem;
Ani Lallabaan, Yerusaalem keessatti mootii Israaʼelin ture.
13 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.
Ani waan samii gaditti hojjetame hunda ogummaadhaan quʼadhee qoradhee bira gaʼuuf of kenneen ture. Waaqni baʼaa ulfaataa akkamii nama irra kaaʼe!
14 I siy alle thingis that ben maad vndur the sunne, and lo! alle thingis ben vanyte and turment of spirit.
Ani waan aduudhaa gaditti hojjetame hunda argeera; hundi isaanii iyyuu faayidaa hin qaban; kun akkuma nama bubbee ariʼuu ti.
15 Weiward men ben amendid of hard; and the noumbre of foolis is greet with outen ende.
Wanni jalʼifame tokko deebiʼee hin qajeelfamu; wanni hin jirres lakkaaʼamuu hin dandaʼu.
16 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.
Anis akkana jedheen yaade; “Kunoo, ani nama anaan dura Yerusaalemin bulchaa ture kam iyyuu caalaa guddadhee ogummaas dabaladheera; ani muuxannoo ogummaatii fi beekumsaa guddaa argadheera.”
17 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;
Kanaafuu ani ogummaa, maraatummaa fi gowwummaa hubachuufin of kenne; garuu ani akka wanni kunis bubbee ariʼuu taʼe nan baradhe.
18 for in myche wisdom is myche indignacioun, and he that encressith kunnyng, encreessith also trauel.
Ogummaa guddaa keessa gadda baayʼeetu jiraatii; akkuma beekumsi dabalamuun gaddis dabalama.
