Mutye Katonda
5 Weekuume ng’oyingira mu nnyumba ya Katonda; okumusemberera n’okumuwuliriza, kisinga okuwaayo ssaddaaka ng’ez’abasirusiru abatamanyi nga bakola ebibi.
2 (A)Toyanguyirizanga na kamwa ko okwogera ekigambo,
wadde omutima gwo ogwanguyiriza,
okwogera ekigambo mu maaso ga Katonda.
Katonda ali mu ggulu
ng’ate ggwe oli ku nsi;
kale ebigambo byo bibeerenga bitono.
3 (B)Ng’okutawaana ennyo bwe kuleetera omuntu ebirooto,
n’ebigambo by’omusirusiru bwe bityo bwe biba nga bingi.
4 (C)Bwe weeyamanga obweyamo eri Katonda tolwanga kubutuukiriza, kubanga tasanyukira basirusiru. Tuukirizanga obweyamo bwo. 5 (D)Obuteyama kisinga okweyama n’ototuukiriza kye weeyamye. 6 Akamwa ko kaleme ku kwonoonyesa, n’ogamba oyo atumiddwa gy’oli nti, “Nakola kisobyo okweyama.” Kale lwaki weeretako okusunguwalirwa Katonda olw’ebigambo byo, n’azikiriza emirimu gy’emikono gyo? 7 (E)Ebirooto entoko n’ebigambo ebingi temuli makulu; noolwekyo otyanga Katonda.
Obugagga ku Bwabwo Bwokka Butaliimu Bwereere
8 (F)Bw’olabanga ng’omwavu anyigirizibwa mu ssaza, amazima n’obwenkanya nga tewali, teweewuunyanga! Kubanga omukungu waalyo alinako amusinga, ate nga bombi balina ababatwala. 9 Bonna balya ku bibala bya nsi eyo; kabaka yennyini mu nnimiro zaayo mw’afuna.
10 Oyo alulunkanira ensimbi, tasobola kuba na nsimbi zimumala;
wadde oyo alulunkanira obugagga n’amagoba:
na kino nakyo butaliimu.
11 Ebintu nga bwe byeyongera obungi,
n’ababirya gye bakoma okweyongera.
Kale nnyini byo agasibwa ki,
okuggyako okusanyusa amaaso ge?
12 (G)Otulo tuwoomera omupakasi
ne bw’aba agabana bitono oba bingi.
Naye obugagga bw’omugagga obuyitiridde,
tebumuganya kwebaka.
Okukola n’Essanyu
13 (H)Waliwo ekibi ekinene kye nalaba wansi w’enjuba:
nannyini bugagga abuterekera mu kwerumya,
14 ebyembi bw’ebigwawo eby’obugagga ebyo bibula,
kale bw’aba ne mutabani
tewabaawo mutabani we ky’asigaza.
15 (I)Omuntu nga bwe yava mu lubuto lwa nnyina n’ajja mu nsi nga talina kintu,
bw’atyo bw’aliddayo nga mwereere ng’ava mu nsi.
Tewali ky’aggya mu mirimu gye,
wadde kyayinza okugenda nakyo mu mukono gwe.
16 (J)Na kino kya bulumi bwereere:
nga bwe yajja era bw’atyo bw’aligenda;
mugaso ki gwe yafuna mu kugoberera empewo?
17 Era yamala obulamu bwe bwonna mu kizikiza ne mu buyinike,
ne mu kweraliikirira, ne mu bulumi ne mu kunyiiga.
18 (K)Ne ndyoka ntegeera nti kituufu omuntu okulya n’okunywa n’okulaba nga yeyagalira mu kutakabana ne mu kukola kwe wansi w’enjuba, mu nnaku ze entono Katonda z’amuwadde, kubanga ekyo gwe mugabo gwe. 19 (L)Ate Katonda bw’awa omuntu obugagga, n’ebintu n’amusobozesa okubyeyagaliramu, n’okutegeera omugabo gwe n’okusanyukira by’akoze, ekyo kiba kirabo ekivudde ewa Katonda. 20 (M)Emirundi giba mitono gy’alowoolezaamu ekiseera ky’obulamu ky’amaze, kubanga Katonda ajjuza omutima gw’omuntu oyo essanyu.
Ecclesiastes 5
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 5
New International Version
Fulfill Your Vow to God
5 [a]Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
2 Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.(A)
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.(B)
3 A dream(C) comes when there are many cares,
and many words mark the speech of a fool.(D)
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it.(E) He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.(F) 5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.(G) 6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? 7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.(H)
Riches Are Meaningless
8 If you see the poor oppressed(I) in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still. 9 The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
10 Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless.
11 As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them?
12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
permits them no sleep.(J)
13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:(K)
wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
there is nothing left for them to inherit.
15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.(L)
They take nothing from their toil(M)
that they can carry in their hands.(N)
16 This too is a grievous evil:
As everyone comes, so they depart,
and what do they gain,
since they toil for the wind?(O)
17 All their days they eat in darkness,
with great frustration, affliction and anger.
18 This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink(P) and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor(Q) under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. 19 Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions,(R) and the ability to enjoy them,(S) to accept their lot(T) and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.(U) 20 They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.(V)
