The N.I.V. translation of Ecc.3:18 says that God 'tests' man by making him see that he is just an animal; i.e. those who are humble enough to be His true people will realize the truth of this, but those who are not will fail this 'test'.
Biblia zote za aina mbili yaani U.V na Biblia - Habari njema - B H.N. hii tafsiri ya mhubiri 3:8 inasema kwamba Mungu anamjaribu mwanadamu kwa kumfanya aone kuwa yeye ni mnyama tu. Yaani wale wanaojinyenyekeza mno ili kuwa watu wake wa kweli wanatueleza ukweli huu, bali wale ambao sio watashindwa'jaribu’ hili.
