1 T hese are the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Kuwanu waa erayadii wacdiyihii ahaa ina Daa'uud oo Yeruusaalem boqorka ku ahaa.

2 “ It is of no use,” says the Preacher. “It is of no use! All is for nothing.”

Wacdiyuhu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa wax aan waxba tarayn, waa wax aan waxba tarayn, wax waluba waa wax aan waxba tarayn.

3 W hat does a man get for all his work which he does under the sun?

Bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo nin ka hela hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan?

4 P eople die and people are born, but the earth stays forever.

Qarni baa taga, oo qarni kalena wuu yimaadaa, laakiinse dhulku weligiisba wuu waaraa.

5 T he sun rises and the sun sets, and travels in a hurry to the place where it rises.

Oo qorraxduna way soo baxdaa, oo haddana way dhacdaa, oo waxay ku degdegtaa meeshii ay ka soo baxdo.

6 T he wind blows to the south and goes around to the north. It goes around and around, and returns again on its way.

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.

7 A ll the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full. And they return again to the place from which the rivers flow.

Webiyaasha oo dhammu waxay ku shubmaan badda, oo weli badduna ma buuxsanto, oo webiyaashu meeshii ay ku socdaan ayay haddana ku sii socdaan.

8 A ll things are tiring. Man is not able to tell about them. The eye never has enough to see, and the ear is never filled with what it hears.

Wax kastaaba waa daal miidhan, dadku ma sheegi karo innaba. Ishu wax arag kama dheregto, dhegtuna waxmaqlid kama buuxsanto.

9 W hat has been is what will be. And what has been done is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

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.

10 I s there anything of which one might say, “See, this is new”? It has already been there since long before us.

Miyey jiraan wax la odhan karo, Bal eeg, waxanu waa cusub yihiine? Way jiri jireen tan iyo waayihii inaga horreeyey.

11 N o one remembers the things that happened before. And no one will remember the things that will happen in the future among those who will come later. Looking for Wisdom Is like Trying to Catch the Wind

Waxyaalihii hore lama xusuusto, oo waxyaalaha iman doonana innaba laguma xusuusan doono kuwa dabadeed iman doona. Xigmaddu Waa Wax Aan Micne Lahayn

12 I , the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Anigan wacdiyaha ahu boqor baan reer binu Israa'iil ugu ahaa Yeruusaalem.

13 A nd I set my mind to look for wisdom to learn about all that has been done under heaven. It is a hard work which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with.

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.

14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun. And see, it is all for nothing. It is like trying to catch the wind.

Shuqullada qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan waan arkay, oo bal eeg, dhammaantood waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.

15 W hat is not straight cannot be made straight. What is not there cannot be numbered.

Wixii qalloocan lama toosin karo, oo wixii dhimmanna lama tirin karo.

16 I said to myself, “I have received more wisdom than all who were over Jerusalem before me. My mind has seen much wisdom and much learning.”

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.

17 A nd I set my mind to know wisdom and to know what is crazy and foolish. I saw that this also is like trying to catch the wind.

Waxaan qalbigayga siiyey inaan xigmad ogaado iyo inaan waalli iyo nacasnimo ogaado, oo waxaan gartay inay taasuna tahay dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.

18 B ecause in much wisdom there is much trouble. And he who gets much learning gets much sorrow.

Waayo, xigmaddii badan caloolxumo badan baa ku jirta, oo kii aqoon korodhsadaana murug buu sii korodhsadaa.
