1 T here is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—

Wax kastaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti u khaas ah, wax kasta oo samada ka hooseeyaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti go'an.

2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

Waxaa jira wakhti la dhasho, iyo wakhti la dhinto; wakhti wax la beero, iyo wakhti wixii la beeray la gurto;

3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

wakhti wax la dilo, iyo wakhti wax la bogsiiyo; wakhti wax la dumiyo, iyo wakhti wax la dhiso;

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.

wakhti la ooyo iyo wakhti la qoslo; wakhti la baroorto, iyo wakhti la cayaaro;

5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.

wakhti dhagaxyo la xooro, iyo wakhti dhagaxyo la soo ururiyo; wakhti laysku duubo, iyo wakhti iskuduubidda la daayo;

6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.

wakhti wax la doondoono, iyo wakhti wax la lumiyo; wakhti wax la sii haysto iyo wakhti wax la xooro;

7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.

wakhti wax la jeexjeexo, iyo wakhti wax la tolo; wakhti la aamuso iyo wakhti la hadlo;

8 A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.

wakhti wax la jeclaado iyo wakhti wax la necbaado; wakhti dagaaleed, iyo wakhti nabdeed.

9 W hat profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?

Kii shaqeeyaa bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu ka helaa hawshiisa uu ku hawshoodo?

10 I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man

Dhibaatadii Ilaah binu-aadmiga u siiyey inay ku hawshoodaan ayaan arkay.

11 H e has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Wax kastuu ka dhigay inay wakhtigooda quruxsanaadaan, oo haddana daa'imnimadii ayuu qalbigooda ku beeray, hase ahaatee binu-aadmigu ma uu garto shuqulkii Ilaah sameeyey tan iyo bilowgii ilaa ugudambaysta.

12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;

Waan ogahay inaan binu-aadmigu lahayn wax uga wanaagsan inay iska farxaan oo ay cimrigooda oo dhan wanaag sameeyaan mooyaane.

13 m oreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—it is the gift of God.

Oo weliba waa hibo Ilaah in nin kastaaba wax cuno oo wax cabbo, oo uu wanaag ku istareexo intuu hawshoodo oo dhan.

14 I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.

Waxaan ogahay in wax kasta oo Ilaah sameeyaaba ay weligood sii raagayaan. Waxba laguma dari karo, waxbana lagama dhimi karo. Oo Ilaah wuxuu saas u yeelay in dadku ka cabsado.

15 T hat which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.

Waxa haatan jiraa horeba way u jireen, oo waxa jiri doonaana horeba way u jireen, oo Ilaahna wuxuu doondoonaa wixii hore u dhaafay.

16 F urthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.

Weliba waxaan kaloo qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay in meeshii garsooridda ay caddaaladdarro ku jirto, oo meeshii xaqnimadana ay xumaanu ku jirto.

17 I said to myself, “ God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

Waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Ilaah baa u kala garsoori doona kan xaqa ah iyo kan sharka ah, waayo, wax kasta iyo shuqul kastaaba halkaasay wakhti ku leeyihiin.

18 I said to myself concerning the sons of men, “God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts.”

Waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Waxaa Ilaah doonaya inuu binu-aadmiga u tijaabiyo inay ogaadaan inay xayawaan yihiin.

19 F or the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

Waayo, wixii binu-aadmiga ku dhacaaba xayawaankana way ku dhacaan, oo xataa isku wax baa ku dhaca, oo sidii midkood u dhinto ayaa kan kalena u dhinta, oo weliba dhammaantood waxay leeyihiin isku neef, oo dadku xayawaanka waxba ma dheera, waayo, wax kastaaba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.

20 A ll go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.

Kulli isku meel bay tagaan, oo kulligood ciiddaa laga abuuray, oo kulligoodna ciidday ku wada noqon doonaan.

21 W ho knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?

Waayo, bal yaa yaqaan in dadka naftiisu ay kor tagto iyo in xayawaanka naftiisu ay dhulka hoos u tagto iyo in kale?

22 I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ogaaday inaan dadka wax u dhaama la arag in nin kasta shuqulladiisa ku farxo mooyaane, waayo, taasu waa qaybtiisii, maxaa yeelay, bal yaa isaga dib u soo celinaya inuu arko waxa dabadiis ahaan doona?
