¹For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

¹Wax kastaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti u khaas ah, wax kasta oo samada ka hooseeyaaba waxay leeyihiin wakhti go'an.

²a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

²Waxaa jira wakhti la dhasho, iyo wakhti la dhinto; wakhti wax la beero, iyo wakhti wixii la beeray la gurto;

³a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

³wakhti wax la dilo, iyo wakhti wax la bogsiiyo; wakhti wax la dumiyo, iyo wakhti wax la dhiso;

⁴a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

⁴wakhti la ooyo iyo wakhti la qoslo; wakhti la baroorto, iyo wakhti la cayaaro;

⁵a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

⁵wakhti dhagaxyo la xooro, iyo wakhti dhagaxyo la soo ururiyo; wakhti laysku duubo, iyo wakhti iskuduubidda la daayo;

⁶a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

⁶wakhti wax la doondoono, iyo wakhti wax la lumiyo; wakhti wax la sii haysto iyo wakhti wax la xooro;

⁷a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

⁷wakhti wax la jeexjeexo, iyo wakhti wax la tolo; wakhti la aamuso iyo wakhti la hadlo;

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

⁸wakhti wax la jeclaado iyo wakhti wax la necbaado; wakhti dagaaleed, iyo wakhti nabdeed.

⁹What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

⁹Kii shaqeeyaa bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu ka helaa hawshiisa uu ku hawshoodo?

¹⁰I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

¹⁰Dhibaatadii Ilaah binu-aadmiga u siiyey inay ku hawshoodaan ayaan arkay.

¹¹He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

¹¹Wax 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.

¹²I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.

¹²Waan ogahay inaan binu-aadmigu lahayn wax uga wanaagsan inay iska farxaan oo ay cimrigooda oo dhan wanaag sameeyaan mooyaane.

¹³Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

¹³Oo weliba waa hibo Ilaah in nin kastaaba wax cuno oo wax cabbo, oo uu wanaag ku istareexo intuu hawshoodo oo dhan.

¹⁴I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

¹⁴Waxaan 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.

¹⁵That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago: and God seeks again that which is passed away.

¹⁵Waxa haatan jiraa horeba way u jireen, oo waxa jiri doonaana horeba way u jireen, oo Ilaahna wuxuu doondoonaa wixii hore u dhaafay.

¹⁶Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

¹⁶Weliba waxaan kaloo qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay in meeshii garsooridda ay caddaaladdarro ku jirto, oo meeshii xaqnimadana ay xumaanu ku jirto.

¹⁷I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

¹⁷Waxaan 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.

¹⁸I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

¹⁸Waxaan qalbigayga iska idhi, Waxaa Ilaah doonaya inuu binu-aadmiga u tijaabiyo inay ogaadaan inay xayawaan yihiin.

¹⁹For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is vanity.

¹⁹Waayo, 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.

²⁰All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

²⁰Kulli isku meel bay tagaan, oo kulligood ciiddaa laga abuuray, oo kulligoodna ciidday ku wada noqon doonaan.

²¹Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?”

²¹Waayo, bal yaa yaqaan in dadka naftiisu ay kor tagto iyo in xayawaanka naftiisu ay dhulka hoos u tagto iyo in kale?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?

²²Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

²²Haddaba 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?
