Ecclesiastes 9:5 · Berean Standard Bible

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.

Context

3Huu ni ubaya ulio katika kila kitu kinachotendeka chini ya jua: Mwisho unaofanana huwapata wote. Zaidi ya hayo, mioyo ya watu, imejaa ubaya na kuna wazimu mioyoni mwao wangali hai, hatimaye huungana na waliokufa. 4Yeyote aliye miongoni mwa walio hai analo tumaini, hata mbwa hai ni bora kuliko simba aliyekufa! 5Kwa maana walio hai wanajua kwamba watakufa, lakini wafu hawajui chochote, hawana tuzo zaidi, hata kumbukumbu yao imesahaulika. 6Upendo wao, chuki yao na wivu wao vimetoweka tangu kitambo, kamwe hawatakuwa tena na sehemu katika lolote linalotendeka chini ya jua. 7Nenda, kula chakula chako kwa furaha, unywe divai yako kwa moyo wa shangwe, kwa maana sasa Mungu anakubali unachofanya.
