Ilaah Cabsi Ku Horjoog

Markaad guriga Ilaah tegaysid is-ilaali, waayo, inaad u dhowaatid si aad wax u maqashid way ka roon tahay inaad bixisid allabariga nacasyada oo kale, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma oga inay wax shar ah samaynayaan. Afkaaga ha ku degdegin, oo inaad Ilaah hortiisa wax kaga hadashid ha u dhaqsan, waayo, Ilaah samaduu joogaa, adna dhulkaad joogtaa, haddaba hadalkaagu ha yaraado. Waayo, riyo waxay ka dhalataa hawl badan, oo nacaska codkiisana waxaa lagu gartaa hadalkiisa badan. Markaad Ilaah nidar u nidartid waa inaadan inaad bixisid dib uga dhicin, waayo, isagu nacasyada kuma farxo ee wixii aad u nidartay bixi. Inaad nidar gasho oo aadan bixin waxaa ka wanaagsan inaadan waxba nidrin. Afkaaga ha u oggolaan inuu jidhkaaga dembaajiyo, oo malaa'igta horteedana ha ka odhan, Qalad bay ahaayeen. Bal maxaad Ilaah codkaaga ugu cadhaysiisaa si uu shuqulka gacmahaaga u baabbi'iyo? Waayo, riyooyin iyo erayo fara badanba waxaa ku jira wax badan oo aan waxtar lahayn, laakiinse adigu Ilaah ka cabso.

Taajirnimadu Micne Ma Leh

Haddaad gobol ku aragtid masaakiin la dulmayo, iyo garsoorid iyo caddaalad si xoog leh loo qalloocinayo, waxaas ha la yaabin, waayo, kan sare mid ka sii sarreeya ayaa eegaya, oo weliba waxaa jira kuwa ka sii sarreeya iyaga. Dhulka faa'iidadiisu kulli way ka dhexaysaa, waayo, boqorka qudhiisaba waxaa looga adeegaa beerta.

10 Kii lacag jecelu lacag kama dhergi doono, oo kii maal badan jeceluna faa'iido kama dhergi doono, taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn. 11 Markii maalku bato kuwa cunaana way sii bataan. Maalku bal muxuu kan leh u taraa inuu indhihiisa ku fiiriyo mooyaane? 12 Ninkii hawshooda hurdadiisu waa u macaan tahay, hadduu wax yar cuno iyo hadduu wax badan cunoba, laakiinse taajirka maalkiisa badanu hurdaduu u diidaa.

13 Waxaa jira wax shar ah oo aad u xun oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, waana maal badan oo uu kan lahu sii haysto oo uu waxyeello uun isu keeno. 14 Oo maalkaasu wax xun buu ku baabba'aa, oo kii lahaana wiil buu dhalay, laakiinse gacantiisa waxba kuma jiraan. 15 Siduu uurka hooyadiis uga soo baxay ayuu isagoo qaawan ku tegi doonaa, siduu hore ku yimid oo kale. Oo hawshiisa aawadeedna wax uu gacanta ku qaadan karo ma qaadan doono. 16 Oo weliba taasuna waa wax aad u xun inuu si kastaba ku tago siduu hore ku yimid oo kale; haddaba kan dabayl ku hawshooda bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu helayaa? 17 Oo weliba cimrigiisa oo dhan wuxuu ku cunaa gudcur, oo intaasna wuxuu ku jiraa murug, iyo cudur, iyo cadho.

18 Bal eeg, waxaan gartay inay wanaagsan tahay oo habboon tahay in qof wax cuno oo wax cabbo, iyo inuu hawshiisa uu qorraxda hoosteeda ku hawshoodo oo dhan ku istareexo cimrigii Ilaah siiyey oo dhan, waayo, taasu waa qaybtiisa. 19 Oo weliba nin kasta oo Ilaah maal iyo hanti siiyey, oo haddana siiyey karti uu wax kaga cuno, oo uu kaga qayb qaato, iyo inuu hawshiisa ku reyreeyoba, taasu waa hibo Ilaah. 20 Waayo, isagu aad uma xusuusan doono wakhtigii uu noolaa, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa farxad qalbigiisa geliya.

Fulfill Your Vow to God

[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.

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)
A dream(C) comes when there are many cares,
    and many words mark the speech of a fool.(D)

When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it.(E) He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.(F) It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.(G) 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? Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.(H)

Riches Are Meaningless

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. 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)
