Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 11
1 Dia muni amo ga fi ilia bidi lasu hou hamoma: ne ima. Eso enoga di da muni dabua eno ligi ba: mu.
Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.
2 Dia muni dabua eno ligi ba: ma: ne, sogebi bagohame amoga bidi lasu hou hamoma. Bai di da dima se nabasu hou misunu hame dawa:
Divide your portion among seven, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.
3 Ifa da habodili muwane dasea, e da ea sa: i sogebi amogaiwane dialumu. Mu mobi da nabai galea, gibu da sa: imu.
If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain upon the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.
4 Di da ouesaleawane, fo amola gibu ea hou defele fawane hawa: bugimusa: dawa: sea, di da hamedafa bugimu amola hamedafa gamimu.
He who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.
5 Gode da liligi huluane hahamoi. Amola di da mano dudubu gaheabolo hahamobe abula agui uda ea hagomo ganodini amo hame dawa: , amo defele di da Gode Ea hamobe hamedafa dawa:
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
6 Di da hahabe ha: i manu bugima! Amola daeya amolawane bugima! Di da amo bugi da noga: le heda: mu o bugi amoga afae da noga: le heda: sa amola oda da wadela: mu amo di da hamedafa dawa:
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or if both will equally prosper.
7 Wali esoha amo hahawane nodomu da defea.
Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8 Ode huluane dia esalebeba: le, nodoma. Habowali di da esalea, noga: le dawa: ma. Dia bogole dialumu eso da dia esalebe eso baligi ba: mu. Fa: no misunu hou amoma nodomu da hamedei.
So if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is futile.
9 Ayeligi dilia! Dilia ayeligi eso amoga hahawane nodoma! Dilia da goi gogawane nodoma! Dilia hanaiga hamoma! Be dawa: ma! Dilia hamobe huluane amoga Gode da fofada: nanu, dabe imunu.
Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and in the sight of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
10 Dilia hou huluane ba: sea, mae da: i dioma amola se nabasea, mae dawa: ma! Dilia da eso bagahame fawane goi esalumu.
So banish sorrow from your heart, and cast off pain from your body, for youth and vigor are fleeting.
