1 Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dunu afae dawa: laidafa, e da goe sia: olelei. Amo dunu da Da: ibidi egefe amola e da musa: Isala: ili ilia hina bagade Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalu.
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king of Israel in Jerusalem.
2 Amo Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dawa: laidafa dunu da amane sia: i, “Bai hamedei! Bai hamedei! Esalusu huluane da bai hame gala.
Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane hawa: hahamona ahoana, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
What advantage [is there] to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun?
4 Musa: fi ilia bogole bu buga: le, gaheabolo fifi mana, be amomane osobo bagade da mae afadenene amaiwane diala.
A generation goes, and a generation comes: but the earth stands for ever.
5 Eso da mana amola dala, bu sinidigili amanewane ogobe digili heda: le bu diga: la: lebe ba: sa.
And the sun arises, and the sun goes down and draws towards its place;
6 Fo da na: iyado bega: dili amola na: iyado bega: dili momafunana, amola gebewane sisiga: sisiga: la.
arising there it proceeds southward, and goes round towards the north. The wind goes round and round, and the wind returns to its circuits.
7 Hano huluane da wayabo bagadega adimina ahoa, be amomane hano wayabo da hamedafa nabala heda: Amola hano da siba hamone banugumaga bu sa: ili, amanewane sinididigilala.
All the rivers run into the sea; and yet the sea is not filled: to the place whence the rivers come, there they return again.
8 Liligi huluane loboga hamobe amola sia: ga sia: be amola hele bagadedafa naba. Ninia siga ba: sa be hame ba: le dagosa, amola ninia gega naba be hame naba dagosa.
All things are full of labour; a man will not be able to speak [of them]: neither shall the eye be satisfied with seeing, neither shall the ear be filled with hearing.
9 Liligi musa: hamosu da bu ba: mu. Osobo bagade huluane amo ganodini da liligi gaheabolo eno hame.
What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 “Ba: ma!” ilia da sia: sa. “Liligi gaheabolo da goea.” Be amomane hame. Be ninia hame lalelegei amo galu, amo liligi huluane da dialu.
[Who is he] that shall speak and say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have passed before us.
11 Dunu afaega da musa: hamoi hame dawa: Amola dunu afae da fa: no misunu hou hamedafa dawa:
There is no memorial to the first things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be with them that shall at the last [time].
12 “Na, Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dawa: lai dunu, na da Isala: ili dunu fi ilia hina bagade Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalusu.
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 Na da liligi huluane dunu ilia osobo bagade ganodini hamonana, amo ilia bai hogoi helemusa: dawa: i galu. Na da agoane ba: i. Gode da ninima da: i diosu bagade ninima iana.
And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith.
14 Na da osobo bagade goe ganodini hamoi huluane na ba: i dagoi, amola na da sia: sa amo da hamedei liligi, fo mabe se bobogebe agoai galebe.
I saw all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, saw, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit.
15 Dia da liligi guga: loi amo molomu da hamedei. Liligi dia hame ba: be amo idimu da hamedei.
That which is crooked can’t be made straight: and deficiency can’t be numbered.
16 Na da nisu amane sia: i, “Na da bagadedafa dawa: lai dunu, amola na dawa: i hou da musa: Yelusaleme ouligisu dunu ilia dawa: i hou baligisa.
I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.
17 Bagade dawa: su hou, amola gagaoui hou, da hisu. Noga: i dawa: su hou, amola gagaoui hou, da hisu. Amo afafama: ne dawa: musa: , na da logo hogoi helei. Be hamedeiba: le, na da gagaoui dunu fo mabe se bobogebe agoai ba: i.
And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.
18 Di da dawa: bagade lasea, da: i diosu amola baligili ba: mu. Di da dawa: su hou baligili lasea, se baligili nabimu.
For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow.
