Omubuulizi 2:1-26

Amasanyu Tegagasa

12:1 Mub 7:4; 8:15; Luk 12:19Nayogera munda yange nti, “Jjangu kaakano ngezese okusanyuka. Weesanyuse.” Naye laba, na kino kyali butaliimu. 22:2 Nge 14:13; Mub 7:6Nagamba nti, “Okuseka busirusiru. Era okusanyuka kugasa ki?” 32:3 a nny 24-25; Mub 3:12-13 b Mub 1:17Nanoonyereza n’omutima gwange, bwe nnaasanyusa omubiri gwange n’omwenge, nga nkyagoberera okunoonya amagezi. Nayagala okulaba abantu kyebasaanira okukola wansi w’enjuba mu nnaku ez’obulamu bwabwe entono.

42:4 a 1Bk 7:1-12 b Lu 8:11Natandikawo emirimu egy’amaanyi: ne neezimbira amayumba ne neesimbira ennimiro ez’emizabbibu. 5Ne neerimira ennimiro, ne neekolera n’ebifo ebigazi, ne nsimbamu buli ngeri ya miti egy’ebibala. 6Ne neesimira ebidiba omuva amazzi ag’okufukirira ebibira by’emiti emito. 7Neefunira abaddu abasajja n’abakazi, era nalina abaddu abaazaalirwa mu nnyumba yange. Ne mbeera n’amagana g’ente n’ebisibo by’endiga okusinga bonna abansooka okubeera mu Yerusaalemi. 82:8 a 1Bk 9:28; 10:10, 14, 21 b 2Sa 19:35Ne neekuŋŋaanyiza ffeeza ne zaabu ebyavanga mu misolo, egyampebwanga bakabaka n’egyavanga mu bwakabaka bwabwe. Neefunira abayimbi abasajja n’abakazi, ne nfuna n’ebintu byonna ebisanyusa omuntu, ne neefunira n’abakazi. 92:9 1By 29:25; Mub 1:16Ne nfuuka mukulu ne nsukkirira bonna abansooka mu Yerusaalemi. Mu ebyo byonna nasigala siweebuuse mu magezi.

10Na buli amaaso gange kye gaayagala okulaba sa kigamma,

omutima gwange ne ngusanyusa mu buli kimu.

Omutima gwange gwasanyukira bye nakola byonna,

era eyo y’empeera yange olw’okutegana kwange kwonna.

112:11 a Mub 1:14 b Mub 1:3Awo bwe nalowooza byonna emikono gyange bye gyakola,

n’okutegana kwonna nga nkola,

laba, byonna bwali butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo,

tewaali na kimu kye nagobolola wansi w’enjuba.

Amagezi Agatali ga Katonda n’Obusirusiru Byombi Butaliimu

122:12 a Mub 1:17 b Mub 1:9; 7:25Awo ne nkyuka ne ndowooza ku magezi,

ne ku ddalu ne ku busirusiru,

kubanga oyo aliddirira kabaka mu bigere alibaako ki ky’akola,

okuggyako ekyo kabaka ky’akoze?

132:13 a Mub 7:19; 9:18 b Mub 7:11-12Awo ne ndaba amagezi nga gasinga obusirusiru,

n’ekitangaala nga kisinga ekizikiza.

142:14 Zab 49:10; Nge 17:24; Mub 3:19; 6:6; 7:2; 9:3, 11-12Omugezi amaaso ge gali mu mutwe gwe,

naye atalina magezi atambulira mu kizikiza.

Kyokka ne ntegeera

nga bombi akabi kabatuukako.

152:15 Mub 6:8Ne ndyoka njogera mu mutima gwange nti,

“Ekyo ekigwa ku musirusiru nange kirintuukako.

Kale lwaki mbeera omugezi?”

Era na kino ne nkizuula

nga butaliimu.

162:16 Mub 1:11; 9:5Kubanga ku mugezi ne ku musirusiru tewaliwo ajjukirwa lubeerera;

mu nnaku ezirijja bombi baliba beerabirwa dda.

Okufaanana ng’omusirusiru n’omugezi naye alifa.

172:17 Mub 4:2Awo ne nkyawa obulamu kubanga buli ekikolebwa wansi w’enjuba kindeetera buyinike. Byonna butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo. 182:18 Zab 39:6; 49:10Nakyawa okutegana kwange kwonna kwe nateganamu wansi w’enjuba, kubanga byonna ndi wakubirekera oyo alinzirira mu bigere. 19Kale ani amanyi obanga aliba musajja mugezi oba musirusiru? Kyokka ye y’aliba mukama w’ebyo byonna bye nateganira nga nkozesa amagezi gange wansi w’enjuba; era na kino nakyo butaliimu. 20Awo ne nterebuka olw’okutegana kwange kwonna wansi w’enjuba. 21Kubanga oluusi omuntu ategana ng’akozesa amagezi ge n’okumanya awamu n’obukalabakalaba bwe, naye byonna ateekwa okubirekera oyo atabiteganiranga nako. Na kino nakyo butaliimu na kabi keereere. 222:22 Mub 1:3; 3:9Omuntu afuna ki mu kutegana kwe kwonna n’okukaluubirirwa mu ebyo by’ateganamu wansi w’enjuba? 232:23 Yob 5:7; 14:1; Mub 1:18Kubanga ennaku ze zonna n’okutegana kwe bijjula bulumi; era ne mu kiro omutima gwe teguwummula; na kino nakyo butaliimu.

242:24 a Mub 8:15; 1Ko 15:32 b Mub 3:22 c Mub 3:12-13; 5:17-19; 9:7-10Tewali kisingira muntu kulya na kunywa na kusanyukira mu ebyo by’akola. Na kino nkiraba, kiva mu mukono gwa Katonda, 25kubanga awatali ye, ani ayinza okulya oba asobola okusanyuka? 262:26 a Yob 27:17 b Nge 13:22Kubanga omuntu asanyusa Katonda, Katonda amuwa amagezi n’okumanya n’essanyu; naye omwonoonyi Katonda amuwa omulimu gw’okukuŋŋaanyiza oyo asanyusa Katonda. Na kino nakyo butaliimu na kugoberera mpewo.

King James Version

Ecclesiastes 2:1-26

1I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. 2I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? 3I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.2.3 to give…: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine2.3 all…: Heb. the number of the days of their life 4I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: 5I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: 6I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: 7I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:2.7 servants born…: Heb. sons of my house 8I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.2.8 musical…: Heb. musical instrument and instruments 9So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. 10And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. 11Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

12¶ And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.2.12 even…: or, in those things which have been already done 13Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.2.13 that…: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc 14The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. 15Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.2.15 happeneth even…: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me 16For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

17Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

18¶ Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.2.18 taken: Heb. laboured 19And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. 20Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 21For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.2.21 leave: Heb. give 22For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? 23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

24There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.2.24 should make…: or, delight his senses 25For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? 26For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.2.26 in his…: Heb. before him
