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 thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
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:
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
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 be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 Di da ouesaleawane, fo amola gibu ea hou defele fawane hawa: bugimusa: dawa: sea, di da hamedafa bugimu amola hamedafa gamimu.
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not 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 thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
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:
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.
7 Wali esoha amo hahawane nodomu da defea.
Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold 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.
But if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity.
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, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment.
10 Dilia hou huluane ba: sea, mae da: i dioma amola se nabasea, mae dawa: ma! Dilia da eso bagahame fawane goi esalumu.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.
