Mhubiri 3:19
Ecclesiastes 3:19 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Hatima ya mwanadamu ni kama ile ya wanyama; wote wana mwisho unaofanana: Jinsi anavyokufa mnyama, ndivyo anavyokufa mwanadamu. Wote wana pumzi inayofanana; mwanadamu hana cha zaidi kuliko mnyama. Kila kitu ni ubatili.
Ecclesiastes 3:19 in English
Ecclesiastes 3:19 · Berean Standard Bible
For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath.* Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
Context
17Nikafikiri moyoni mwangu,
“Mungu atawaleta hukumuni
wote wawili wenye haki na waovu,
kwa maana kutakuwako na wakati kwa ajili ya kila jambo,
wakati kwa ajili ya kila tendo.” 18Pia nikafikiri, “Kuhusu wanadamu, Mungu huwajaribu ili wajione kwamba wao ni kama wanyama. 19Hatima ya mwanadamu ni kama ile ya wanyama; wote wana mwisho unaofanana: Jinsi anavyokufa mnyama, ndivyo anavyokufa mwanadamu. Wote wana pumzi inayofanana; mwanadamu hana cha zaidi kuliko mnyama. Kila kitu ni ubatili. 20Wote huenda mahali panapofanana; wote hutoka mavumbini, mavumbini wote hurudi. 21Ni nani ajuaye kama roho ya mtu huenda juu na roho ya mnyama hushuka chini ardhini?”
