\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Maneno ya Mhubiri, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme huko Yerusalemu: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{2}“Ubatili mtupu! Ubatili mtupu!” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Mhubiri anasema. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Ubatili mtupu! 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Kila kitu ni ubatili.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Mwanadamu anafaidi nini kutokana na kazi yake yote 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
anayotaabikia chini ya jua? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{4}Vizazi huja na vizazi hupita, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini dunia inadumu milele. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Jua huchomoza na jua huzama, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nalo huharakisha kurudi mawioni. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{6}Upepo huvuma kuelekea kusini 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kugeukia kaskazini, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
hurudia mzunguko huo huo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
daima ukirudia njia yake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{7}Mito yote hutiririka baharini, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hata hivyo bahari kamwe haijai. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Mahali mito inapotoka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
huko hurudi tena. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Vitu vyote vinachosha, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
zaidi kuliko mtu anavyoweza kusema. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Jicho kamwe halitosheki kutazama, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala sikio halishibi kusikia. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}Kile kilichokuwepo kitakuwepo tena, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kile kilichofanyika kitafanyika tena, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuna kilicho kipya chini ya jua. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Kuna kitu chochote ambacho mtu anaweza kusema, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
“Tazama! Kitu hiki ni kipya”? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kilikuwepo tangu zamani za kale, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kilikuwepo kabla ya wakati wetu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Hakuna kumbukumbu ya watu wa zamani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hata na wale ambao hawajaja bado 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
hawatakumbukwa 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na wale watakaofuata baadaye. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Hekima Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Hekima Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{12}Mimi, Mhubiri, nilikuwa mfalme wa Israeli katika Yerusalemu. 
\verseNumber{13}Nilitumia muda wangu wote kujifunza na kuvumbua kwa hekima yote yanayofanyika chini ya mbingu. Jinsi gani Mungu ameweka mzigo mzito juu ya wanadamu! 
\verseNumber{14}Nimeshaona mambo yote yanayotendeka chini ya jua, hayo yote ni ubatili, hii ni kukimbiza upepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{15}Kilichopindika hakiwezi kunyooshwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kile ambacho hakipo haiwezekani kukihesabu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{16}Niliwaza mwenyewe, “Tazama, nimekua na kuongezeka katika hekima kuliko yeyote aliyewahi kutawala Yerusalemu kabla yangu. Nimekuwa na uzoefu mkubwa wa hekima na maarifa.” 
\verseNumber{17}Ndipo nilipojitahidi kufahamu kutofautisha hekima, wazimu na upumbavu, lakini nikatambua hata hili nalo ni kukimbiza upepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{18}Kwa kuwa hekima nyingi huleta huzuni kubwa; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
maarifa yanapoongezeka, masikitiko yanaongezeka. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Anasa Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Anasa Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Nikafikiri moyoni mwangu, “Haya basi, nitakujaribu kwa anasa nione ni lipi lililo jema.” Lakini hilo nalo likaonekana ni ubatili. 
\verseNumber{2}Nikasema, “Kicheko nacho ni upumbavu. Nayo matokeo ya anasa ni nini?” 
\verseNumber{3}Nikajaribu kujifurahisha kwa mvinyo na kukumbatia upumbavu, huku bado akili yangu inaniongoza kwa hekima. Nilitaka kuona ni lipi bora watu wafanye kwa siku chache wanazoishi chini ya mbingu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}Nikafanya miradi mikubwa: Nikajijengea majumba na kulima mashamba ya mizabibu. 
\verseNumber{5}Nikatengeneza bustani na viwanja vya starehe nikaotesha huko kila aina ya miti ya matunda. 
\verseNumber{6}Nikajenga mabwawa ya kukusanya maji ya kunyweshea hii miti iliyokuwa inastawi vizuri. 
\verseNumber{7}Nikanunua watumwa wa kiume na wa kike na watumwa wengine walizaliwa nyumbani mwangu. Pia nilikuwa na makundi ya ngʼombe, kondoo na mbuzi kuliko mtu yeyote aliyewahi kuishi Yerusalemu kabla yangu. 
\verseNumber{8}Nikajikusanyia fedha na dhahabu, hazina za wafalme na za majimbo. Nikajipatia waimbaji wanaume na wanawake, nazo nyumba za masuria: vitu ambavyo moyo wa mwanadamu hufurahia. 
\verseNumber{9}Nikawa maarufu sana kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote aliyepata kuishi Yerusalemu kabla yangu. Katika haya yote bado nikawa nina hekima. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Sikujinyima kitu chochote ambacho macho yangu yalikitamani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuna anasa ambayo niliunyima moyo wangu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Moyo wangu ulifurahia kazi zangu zote, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hii ilikuwa thawabu ya kazi zangu zote. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Hata hivyo nilipokuja kuangalia yote ambayo 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mikono yangu ilikuwa imefanya 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na yale niliyotaabika kukamilisha, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kila kitu kilikuwa ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hapakuwa na faida yoyote chini ya jua. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Hekima Na Upumbavu Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Hekima Na Upumbavu Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Kisha nikageuza mawazo yangu kufikiria hekima, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wazimu na upumbavu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Ni nini zaidi mtu anayetawala baada ya mfalme 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
anachoweza kufanya ambacho hakijafanywa? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{13}Nikaona kuwa hekima ni bora kuliko upumbavu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama vile nuru ilivyo bora kuliko giza. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{14}Mtu mwenye hekima ana macho katika kichwa chake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini mpumbavu anatembea gizani; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
lakini nikaja kuona kwamba 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wote wawili hatima yao inafanana. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{15}Kisha nikafikiri moyoni mwangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Hatima ya mpumbavu itanipata mimi pia. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Nitafaidi nini basi kwa kuwa na hekima?” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nikasema moyoni mwangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
“Hili nalo ni ubatili.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{16}Kwa maana kwa mtu mwenye hekima, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama ilivyo kwa mpumbavu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
hatakumbukwa kwa muda mrefu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
katika siku zijazo wote watasahaulika. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kama vile ilivyo kwa mpumbavu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mtu mwenye hekima pia lazima atakufa! 

\BibleSectionHeading{Kutaabika Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Kutaabika Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{17}Kwa hiyo nikachukia maisha, kwa sababu kazi inayofanyika chini ya jua ilikuwa masikitiko kwangu. Yote hayo ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo. 
\verseNumber{18}Nikachukia kila kitu nilichokuwa nimetaabikia chini ya jua, kwa sababu ni lazima nimwachie yule ajaye baada yangu. 
\verseNumber{19}Nani ajuaye kama atakuwa ni mtu mwenye hekima au mpumbavu? Lakini hata hivyo yeye ndiye atakayetawala kazi zote ambazo nimemiminia juhudi na ustadi chini ya jua. Hili nalo ni ubatili. 
\verseNumber{20}Kwa hiyo moyo wangu ukaanza kukata tamaa juu ya kazi yangu yote niliyoifanya kwa taabu chini ya jua. 
\verseNumber{21}Kwa kuwa mtu anaweza kufanya kazi yake kwa hekima, maarifa na ustadi, kisha analazimika kuacha vyote alivyo navyo kwa mtu mwingine ambaye hajavifanyia kazi. Hili nalo pia ni ubatili tena ni balaa kubwa. 
\verseNumber{22}Mtu atapata nini kwa taabu yote na kuhangaika kwa bidii katika kazi anayotaabikia chini ya jua? 
\verseNumber{23}Siku zake zote kazi yake ni maumivu na masikitiko, hata usiku akili yake haipati mapumziko. Hili nalo pia ni ubatili. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{24}Hakuna kitu bora anachoweza kufanya mtu zaidi ya kula na kunywa na kuridhika katika kazi yake. Hili nalo pia, ninaona, latokana na mkono wa Mungu, 
\verseNumber{25}kwa sababu pasipo yeye, ni nani awezaye kula na kufurahi? 
\verseNumber{26}Kwa yule mtu anayempendeza Mungu, Mungu humpa hekima, maarifa na furaha, bali kwa mwenye dhambi Mungu humpa kazi ya kukusanya na kuhifadhi utajiri ili Mungu ampe yule anayempenda. Hili nalo pia ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Kila Jambo Lina Wakati Wake }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Kila Jambo Lina Wakati Wake }
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\chapterNumber{3}Kuna wakati kwa ajili ya kila jambo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nayo majira kwa kila tendo chini ya mbingu: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{2}wakati wa kuzaliwa na wakati wa kufa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kupanda na wakati wa kungʼoa yaliyopandwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{3}wakati wa kuua na wakati wa kuponya, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kubomoa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na wakati wa kujenga, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{4}wakati wa kulia na wakati wa kucheka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kuomboleza na wakati wa kucheza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{5}wakati wa kutawanya mawe na wakati wa kukusanya mawe, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kukumbatia na wakati wa kutokumbatia, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{6}wakati wa kutafuta na wakati wa kupoteza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kuweka na wakati wa kutupa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{7}wakati wa kurarua na wakati wa kushona, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa kunyamaza na wakati wa kuzungumza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{8}wakati wa kupenda na wakati wa kuchukia, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati wa vita na wakati wa amani. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{9}Mfanyakazi anapata faida gani kutokana na taabu yake? 
\verseNumber{10}Nimeona mzigo Mungu alioweka juu ya wanadamu. 
\verseNumber{11}Amefanya kila kitu kiwe kizuri kwa wakati wake. Pia ameiweka hiyo milele katika mioyo ya wanadamu, wala hawawezi kutambua kwa kina yale ambayo Mungu amefanya tangu mwanzo hadi mwisho. 
\verseNumber{12}Ninajua kwamba hakuna kitu bora kwa wanadamu kuliko kuwa na furaha na kutenda mema wakati wanapoishi. 
\verseNumber{13}Tena ni karama ya Mungu kila mtu apate kula na kunywa na kujiburudisha kwa mema katika kazi yake yote. 
\verseNumber{14}Ninajua kwamba kila kitu anachokifanya Mungu kitadumu milele, hakuna kinachoweza kuongezwa au kupunguzwa. Mungu hufanya hivyo ili watu wamche yeye. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{15}Chochote kilichopo kilishakuwepo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kitakachokuwepo kimekwishakuwepo kabla; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye Mungu huyaita yale yaliyopita yarudi tena. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{16}Pia nikaona kitu kingine tena chini ya jua: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Mahali pa kutolea hukumu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
uovu ulikuwepo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
mahali pa kupatia haki, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
uovu ulikuwepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{17}Nikafikiri moyoni mwangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Mungu atawaleta hukumuni 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wote wawili wenye haki na waovu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kwa maana kutakuwako na wakati kwa ajili ya kila jambo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati kwa ajili ya kila tendo.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleM
\verseNumber{18}Pia nikafikiri, “Kuhusu wanadamu, Mungu huwajaribu ili wajione kwamba wao ni kama wanyama. 
\verseNumber{19}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. 
\verseNumber{20}Wote huenda mahali panapofanana; wote hutoka mavumbini, mavumbini wote hurudi. 
\verseNumber{21}Ni nani ajuaye kama roho ya mtu huenda juu na roho ya mnyama hushuka chini ardhini?” 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{22}Kwa hiyo nikaona kwamba hakuna kitu kilicho bora zaidi kwa mwanadamu kuliko kuifurahia kazi yake, kwa sababu hilo ndilo fungu lake. Kwa maana ni nani awezaye kumrudisha ili aje kuona kile kitakachotendeka baada yake? 

\BibleSectionHeading{Uonevu, Taabu, Uadui }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Uonevu, Taabu, Uadui }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Nikatazama tena nikaona uonevu wote uliokuwa unafanyika chini ya jua: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nikaona machozi ya walioonewa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala hawana wa kuwafariji; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
uwezo ulikuwa upande wa wale wanaowaonea, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala hawana wa kuwafariji. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{2}Nami nikasema kwamba wafu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
waliokwisha kufa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
wana furaha kuliko watu walio hai, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambao bado wanaishi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Lakini aliye bora kuliko hao wawili 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ni yule ambaye hajazaliwa bado, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
ambaye hajaona ule uovu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
unaofanyika chini ya jua. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}Tena nikaona kuwa kazi zote na mafanikio yote huchipuka kutokana na wivu wa mtu kwa jirani yake. Hili nalo ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Mpumbavu hukunja mikono yake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kujiangamiza mwenyewe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{6}Afadhali konzi moja pamoja 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na utulivu kuliko konzi mbili pamoja na taabu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kukimbiza upepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{7}Tena nikaona kitu kingine kilicho ubatili chini ya jua: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Kulikuwepo mwanadamu aliye peke yake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuwa na mwana wala ndugu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Hapakuwa na mwisho wa kazi yake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hata hivyo macho yake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hayakutosheka na utajiri wake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Aliuliza, “Ninajitaabisha hivi kwa ajili ya nani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nami kwa nini ninajinyima kufurahia?” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Hili pia ni ubatili, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ni shughuli yenye taabu! 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}Wawili ni afadhali kuliko mmoja, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu wana malipo mazuri kwa kazi yao: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Kama mmoja akianguka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mwenzake atamwinua. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Lakini ni jambo la kuhuzunisha 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa mtu yule aangukaye 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye hana wa kumwinua! 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Pia, kama wawili wakilala pamoja 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
watapashana joto. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Lakini ni vipi mtu aweza 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kujipasha joto mwenyewe? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Ingawa mtu mmoja aweza kushindwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
watu wawili wanaweza 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kumkabili adui na kumshinda. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kamba ya nyuzi tatu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
haikatiki kwa urahisi. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Maendeleo Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Maendeleo Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{13}Afadhali kijana maskini mwenye hekima kuliko mfalme mzee mpumbavu ambaye hajui tena kupokea maonyo. 
\verseNumber{14}Kijana huyo angeweza kutokea gerezani akapata ufalme, au angeweza kuwa amezaliwa katika umaskini kwenye huo ufalme. 
\verseNumber{15}Nikaona kwamba wote walioishi na kutembea chini ya jua walimfuata kijana, aliyepokea ufalme. 
\verseNumber{16}Hapakuwa na kikomo cha watu wote aliowatawala. Lakini wale waliokuja baadaye hawakufurahia kazi ya yule aliyepokea ufalme. Hili nalo pia ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Simama Katika Kicho Cha Mungu }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Simama Katika Kicho Cha Mungu }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Linda hatua zako uendapo katika nyumba ya Mungu. Karibia usikilize kuliko kutoa dhabihu ya wapumbavu, ambao hawajui kuwa wanafanya kosa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{2}Usiwe mwepesi kuzungumza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
usiwe na haraka katika moyo wako 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kuzungumza lolote mbele za Mungu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Mungu yuko mbinguni 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nawe uko duniani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kwa hiyo maneno yako 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na yawe machache. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Kama vile ndoto huja 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati kuna shughuli nyingi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
ndivyo yalivyo mazungumzo ya mpumbavu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wakati kuna maneno mengi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}Wakati unapomwekea Mungu nadhiri, usikawie kuitimiza. Yeye hafurahii wapumbavu; timiza nadhiri yako. 
\verseNumber{5}Ni afadhali usiweke nadhiri kuliko kuiweka na usiitimize. 
\verseNumber{6}Usiruhusu kinywa chako kukuingiza dhambini. Tena usijitetee mbele ya huyo mjumbe wa hekaluni, ukisema, “Niliweka nadhiri kwa makosa.” Kwa nini Mungu akasirike kwa ajili ya yale unayosema na kuiharibu kazi ya mikono yako? 
\verseNumber{7}Kuota ndoto kwingi na maneno mengi ni ubatili. Kwa hiyo simama katika kicho cha Mungu. 

\BibleSectionHeading{Utajiri Ni Ubatili }

\addcontentsline{toc}{toc}{Utajiri Ni Ubatili }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{8}Kama ukiona maskini wanaonewa katika nchi, hukumu na haki vikipotoshwa, usishangazwe na mambo hayo, kwa maana afisa mmoja anaangaliwa na aliye juu yake zaidi na juu ya hao wawili kuna wengine walio juu zaidi yao. 
\verseNumber{9}Mafanikio ya nchi ni kwa ajili ya wote, hata mfalme mwenyewe hufaidi kutoka mashambani. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Yeyote apendaye fedha kamwe 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hatosheki na fedha; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
yeyote apendaye utajiri kamwe 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hatosheki na kipato chake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Hili nalo pia ni ubatili. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Mali ikiongezeka, ndivyo walaji 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wanavyoongezeka. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Hii nayo inamfaidia nini mwenye mali 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
isipokuwa ni kushibisha macho yake? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Usingizi wa kibarua ni mtamu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
awe amekula kidogo au kingi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
lakini wingi wa mali 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
humnyima tajiri usingizi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{13}Nimeshaona uovu mzito chini ya jua: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Utajiri uliolimbikizwa kwa kujinyima 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kuleta madhara kwa mwenye mali, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{14}au utajiri uliopotea kwa bahati mbaya, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hivyo kwamba wakati akiwa na mwana 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuna chochote kilichobaki kwa ajili yake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{15}Mtu hutoka tumboni mwa mama yake uchi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye jinsi alivyokuja vivyo hivyo huondoka. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Hachukui chochote kutokana na kazi yake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambacho anaweza kukibeba mkononi mwake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{16}Hili nalo ni baya la kusikitisha: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kama vile mtu ajavyo, vivyo hivyo huondoka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye anapata faida gani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
maadamu hutaabika kwa ajili ya upepo? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{17}Siku zake zote hula gizani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
pamoja na fadhaa kubwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mateso na hasira. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{18}Ndipo nikatambua kwamba ni vyema na sahihi kwa mtu kula na kunywa na kutosheka katika kazi yake ngumu chini ya jua katika siku chache za maisha yake Mungu alizompa, kwa maana hili ndilo fungu lake. 
\verseNumber{19}Zaidi ya yote, Mungu anapompa mtu yeyote utajiri na milki, humwezesha kuvifurahia, kukubali fungu lake na kuwa na furaha katika kazi yake, hii ni karama ya Mungu. 
\verseNumber{20}Mara chache mtu huzifikiri siku za maisha yake, kwa sababu Mungu humfanya ashikwe na furaha ya moyoni. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Nimeona ubaya mwingine chini ya jua, nao unalemea sana wanadamu: 
\verseNumber{2}Mungu humpa mwanadamu utajiri, mali na heshima, hivyo hakukosa chochote moyo wake unachokitamani. Lakini Mungu hamwezeshi kuvifurahia, badala yake mgeni ndiye anayevifurahia. Hili ni ubatili, ni ubaya unaosikitisha. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{3}Mtu anaweza kuwa na watoto mia moja naye akaishi miaka mingi, lakini haidhuru kuwa ataishi muda mrefu kiasi gani, kama hawezi kufurahia mafanikio yake na kwamba hapati mazishi ya heshima, ninasema afadhali mtoto aliyezaliwa akiwa amekufa kuliko yeye. 
\verseNumber{4}Kuzaliwa kwake hakuna maana, huondokea gizani na gizani jina lake hufunikwa. 
\verseNumber{5}Ingawa hakuwahi kuliona jua wala kujua kitu chochote, yeye ana pumziko zaidi kuliko mtu huyo, 
\verseNumber{6}Hata kama huyo mtu ataishi miaka elfu mara mbili na zaidi, lakini akashindwa kufurahia mafanikio yake, je, wote hawaendi sehemu moja? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{7}Juhudi zote za binadamu ni kwa ajili ya kinywa chake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hata hivyo hamu yake kamwe haitoshelezwi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Mtu mwenye hekima ana faida gani 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
zaidi ya mpumbavu? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Mtu maskini anapata faida gani 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa kujua jinsi ya kujistahi 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mbele ya watu wengine? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}Ni bora kile ambacho jicho linakiona 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kuliko hamu isiyotoshelezwa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Hili nalo ni ubatili, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ni kukimbiza upepo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Lolote lililopo limekwisha kupewa jina, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye mwanadamu alivyo ameshajulikana; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
hakuna mtu awezaye kushindana 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na mwenye nguvu kuliko yeye. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Maneno yanavyokuwa mengi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ndivyo yanavyokosa maana, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Je, hilo linamfaidia vipi yeyote? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{12}Kwa maana ni nani anayejua lililo jema kwa ajili ya maisha ya mwanadamu, katika siku chache na za ubatili anazopita kama kivuli? Ni nani awezaye kumwambia yatakayotokea chini ya jua baada ya yeye kuondoka?

\verseNumber{3}Huzuni ni afadhali kuliko kicheko, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu uso wenye huzuni wafaa kwa moyo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{4}Moyo wa wenye hekima uko katika nyumba ya msiba,

lakini moyo wa wapumbavu uko katika nyumba ya anasa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Afadhali kusikia karipio la mtu mwenye hekima, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kuliko kusikiliza wimbo wa wapumbavu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{6}Kama ilivyo kuvunjika kwa miiba chini ya sufuria, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ndivyo kilivyo kicheko cha wapumbavu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Hili nalo pia ni ubatili.

\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa kuwa hasira hukaa kifuani mwa wapumbavu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Usiseme, “Kwa nini siku za kale zilikuwa bora kuliko siku hizi?” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Kwa maana si hekima kuuliza maswali kama hayo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Hekima, kama ulivyo urithi, ni kitu chema 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na huwafaidia wale walionalo jua. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Hekima ni ulinzi kama fedha ilivyo ulinzi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini faida ya maarifa ni hii: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwamba hekima huhifadhi maisha ya aliye nayo.

\verseNumber{13}Tafakari kile Mungu alichokitenda:

Mungu amefanya hiyo moja, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naam, sanjari\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{7:14 }Sanjari hapa maana yake mwandamano wa vitu, wanyama au watu.} na hiyo nyingine. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kwa hiyo, mwanadamu hawezi kugundua 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kitu chochote kuhusu maisha yake ya baadaye. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{15}Katika maisha haya yangu ya ubatili nimeshaona haya mawili: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
mtu mwadilifu akiangamia katika uadilifu wake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye mtu mwovu akiishi maisha marefu katika uovu wake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{16}Usiwe mwenye haki kupita kiasi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala usiwe na hekima kupita kiasi: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa nini kujiangamiza mwenyewe? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{17}Usiwe mwovu kupita kiasi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala usiwe mpumbavu: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa nini kufa kabla ya wakati wako? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{18}Ni vyema kushika hilo moja 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na wala usiache hilo jingine likupite.

Mtu amchaye Mungu ataepuka huko kupita kiasi.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{7:18 }Au: atafuata hayo yote mawili.}

\verseNumber{19}Hekima humfanya yeye aliye nayo kuwa na uwezo zaidi

\verseNumber{22}kwa kuwa unafahamu moyoni mwako 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{23}Yote haya niliyajaribu kwa hekima, nikasema, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Nimeamua kuwa na hekima”: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini hii ilikuwa nje ya uwezo wangu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{24}Vyovyote hekima ilivyo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hekima iko mbali sana na imejificha, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ni nani awezaye kuigundua? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{25}Nikageuza fikira zangu ili kuelewa,

\verseNumber{26}Nimeona jambo lililo chungu kuliko mauti,

mwanamke ambaye ni mtego, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
ambaye moyo wake ni wavu wa kutegea 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na mikono yake ni minyororo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Mtu ampendezaye Mungu atamkwepa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
bali mwenye dhambi atanaswa naye. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{27}Mhubiri anasema, “Tazama, hili ndilo nililogundua: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Nimegundua kitu kimoja baada ya kingine nilipokuwa katika kusudi la mambo: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{28}ningali natafiti 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini sipati: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
nilimpata mwanaume mmoja mnyofu miongoni mwa elfu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini hakuna mwanamke mmoja mnyofu miongoni mwao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{29}Hili ndilo peke yake nililolipata: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
Mungu amemuumba mwanadamu mnyofu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini mwanadamu amebuni mambo mengi.”

\chapterNumber{8}Ni nani aliye kama mtu mwenye hekima?

kadhalika uovu hautawaweka huru wale wautendao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{9}Yote haya niliyaona, nilipokuwa natafakari kila kitu kinachotendeka chini ya jua. Kuna wakati ambapo mtu hujifanya bwana juu ya wengine kwa madhara yake mwenyewe. 
\verseNumber{10}Ndipo pia, nikaona waovu wakizikwa, wale ambao walizoea kuingia na kutoka mahali patakatifu na kupewa sifa katika mji ambapo walikuwa wamefanya haya. Hili nalo ni ubatili. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{11}Wakati hukumu juu ya tendo ovu haitekelezwi upesi, mioyo ya watu hujaa mipango ya kutenda maovu. 
\verseNumber{12}Ingawa mtu mwovu hufanya maovu mia moja na akaendelea kuishi maisha marefu, najua kwamba itakuwa bora zaidi kwa watu wanaomwogopa Mungu, wamchao Mungu. 
\verseNumber{13}Lakini kwa sababu waovu hawamwogopi Mungu, hawatafanikiwa, maisha yao hayatarefuka kama kivuli. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{14}Kuna kitu kingine ambacho ni ubatili kinachotokea duniani: Watu waadilifu kupata yale yanayowastahili waovu, nao waovu kupata yale yanayowastahili waadilifu. Hili nalo pia, nasema ni ubatili. 
\verseNumber{15}Kwa hiyo mimi ninasifu kufurahia maisha, kwa sababu hakuna kitu bora zaidi kwa mwanadamu chini ya jua kuliko kula, kunywa na kufurahi. Kisha furaha itafuatana naye kazini mwake siku zote za maisha yake ambazo amepewa na Mungu chini ya jua.

\verseNumber{16}Nilipotafakari akilini mwangu ili nijue hekima na kuangalia kazi ya mwanadamu duniani, jinsi ambavyo macho yake hayapati usingizi mchana wala usiku,

\chapterNumber{9}Kwa hiyo niliyatafakari yote haya nikafikia uamuzi kwamba waadilifu na wenye hekima na yale wanayoyafanya yako mikononi mwa Mungu, lakini hakuna mtu ajuaye kama anangojewa na upendo au chuki. 
\verseNumber{2}Wote wanayo hatima inayofanana, mwadilifu na mwovu, mwema na mbaya, aliye safi na aliye najisi, wale wanaotoa dhabihu na wale wasiotoa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ

\verseNumber{3}Huu 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. 
\verseNumber{4}Yeyote aliye miongoni mwa walio hai analo tumaini, hata mbwa hai ni bora kuliko simba aliyekufa!

\verseNumber{15}Katika mji huo kulikuwepo mtu mmoja maskini lakini mwenye hekima, naye akauokoa ule mji kwa hekima yake. Lakini hakuna aliyemkumbuka yule maskini. 
\verseNumber{16}Kwa hiyo, nikasema, “Hekima ni bora kuliko nguvu.” Lakini hekima ya maskini imedharauliwa, wala hakuna anayesikiliza maneno yake.

\verseNumber{17}Maneno ya utulivu ya mwenye hekima
