| Na kwa ajili ya hayo yote, nikatia moyo wangu katika kuyatafuta-tafuta haya; ya kuwa wenye haki, na wenye hekima, pamoja na matendo yao yote, wamo mkononi mwa Mungu; kwamba ni pendo au kwamba ni chuki, mwanadamu hajui; mambo yote yawapita. Mhubiri 9:1 |
For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn't know it; all is before them. |
| Mambo yote yawatukia wote sawasawa; kuna tukio moja kwake mwenye haki na kwake asiye haki; kwa mtu mwema na kwa mtu mwovu; kwa mtu aliye safi na kwa mtu asiye safi; kwake yeye atoaye kafara na kwake asiyetoa kafara; kama alivyo huyo mwema ndivyo alivyo mwenye dhambi; yeye aapaye na yeye aogopaye kiapo. Mhubiri 9:2 |
All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn't sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath. |
| Baa hilo ni katika mambo yote yanayofanyika chini ya jua, ya kuwa wote wanalo tukio moja; naam, zaidi ya hayo, mioyo ya wanadamu imejaa maovu, na wazimu umo mioyoni mwao wakati walipo hai, na baadaye huenda kwa wafu. Mhubiri 9:3 |
This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. |
| Kwa kuwa liko tumaini kwa yule aliyeambatana na wote walio hai; (maana ni afadhali mbwa aliye hai kuliko simba aliyekufa); Mhubiri 9:4 |
For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. |
| kwa sababu walio hai wanajua ya kwamba watakufa; lakini wafu hawajui neno lo lote, wala hawana ijara tena; maana kumbukumbu lao limesahauliwa. Mhubiri 9:5 |
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don't know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. |
| Mapenzi yao na machukio yao, na husuda yao, imepotea yote pamoja; wala hawana sehemu tena katika jambo lo lote lililofanyika chini ya jua. Mhubiri 9:6 |
Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun. |
| Wewe enenda zako, ule chakula chako kwa furaha, unywe mvinyo yako kwa moyo wa kuchangamka; kwa kuwa Mungu amekwisha kuzikubali kazi zako. Mhubiri 9:7 |
Go your way--eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works. |
| Mavazi yako na yawe meupe sikuzote; wala kichwa chako kisikose marhamu. Mhubiri 9:8 |
Let your garments be always white, and don't let your head lack oil. |
| Uishi kwa furaha pamoja na mke umpendaye, siku zote za maisha yako ya ubatili, ulizopewa chini ya jua; siku zote za ubatili wako, kwa maana huo ni sehemu yako ya maisha; na katika taabu zako ulizozitaabika chini ya jua. Mhubiri 9:9 |
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun. |
| Lo lote mkono wako utakalolipata kulifanya, ulifanye kwa nguvu zako; kwa kuwa hakuna kazi, wala shauri, wala maarifa, wala hekima, huko kuzimu uendako wewe. Mhubiri 9:10 |
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going. |
| Nikarudi, na kuona chini ya jua, ya kwamba si wenye mbio washindao katika michezo, wala si walio hodari washindao vitani, wala si wenye hekima wapatao chakula, wala si watu wa ufahamu wapatao mali, wala wenye ustadi wapatao upendeleo; lakini wakati na bahati huwapata wote. Mhubiri 9:11 |
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. |
| Maana mwanadamu naye hajui wakati wake; kama samaki wanaokamatwa katika nyavu mbaya, na mfano wa ndege wanaonaswa mtegoni, kadhalika wanadamu hunaswa katika wakati mbaya, unapowaangukia kwa ghafula. Mhubiri 9:12 |
For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them. |
| Pia nimeona hekima chini ya jua, nayo ni kama hivi, tena kwangu mimi ilionekana kuwa ni neno kubwa. Mhubiri 9:13 |
I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me. |
| Palikuwa na mji mdogo, na watu ndani yake walikuwa wachache; akaja mfalme mkuu juu yake, akauhusuru, akajenga ngome kubwa ili kuupiga. Mhubiri 9:14 |
There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it. |
| Basi, kulionekana humo mtu maskini mwenye hekima, naye kwa hekima yake akauokoa mji ule lakini hata hivyo hapakuwa na mtu ye yote aliyemkumbuka yule mtu maskini. Mhubiri 9:15 |
Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. |
| Ndipo niliposema, Bora hekima kuliko nguvu; walakini hekima ya maskini hudharauliwa, wala maneno yake hayasikilizwi. Mhubiri 9:16 |
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. |
| Maneno ya wenye hekima yanenwayo taratibu husikiwa, Zaidi ya mlio wake atawalaye katikati ya wapumbavu. Mhubiri 9:17 |
The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools. |
| Hekima ndiyo bora kupita silaha za vita; Lakini mkosaji mmoja huharibu mema mengi. Mhubiri 9:18 |
Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good. |
