Mhubiri 2:11
Ecclesiastes 2:11 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Hata hivyo nilipokuja kuangalia yote ambayo mikono yangu ilikuwa imefanya na yale niliyotaabika kukamilisha, kila kitu kilikuwa ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo; hapakuwa na faida yoyote chini ya jua.
Ecclesiastes 2:11 in English
Ecclesiastes 2:11 · Berean Standard Bible
Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
Context
9Nikawa maarufu sana kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote aliyepata kuishi Yerusalemu kabla yangu. Katika haya yote bado nikawa nina hekima. 10Sikujinyima kitu chochote ambacho macho yangu yalikitamani,
hakuna anasa ambayo niliunyima moyo wangu.
Moyo wangu ulifurahia kazi zangu zote,
hii ilikuwa thawabu ya kazi zangu zote. 11Hata hivyo nilipokuja kuangalia yote ambayo
mikono yangu ilikuwa imefanya
na yale niliyotaabika kukamilisha,
kila kitu kilikuwa ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo;
hapakuwa na faida yoyote chini ya jua. 12Kisha nikageuza mawazo yangu kufikiria hekima,
wazimu na upumbavu.
Ni nini zaidi mtu anayetawala baada ya mfalme
anachoweza kufanya ambacho hakijafanywa? 13Nikaona kuwa hekima ni bora kuliko upumbavu,
kama vile nuru ilivyo bora kuliko giza.
