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.
Send forth thy bread on the face of the waters, For in the multitude of the days thou dost find it.
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 even to eight, For thou knowest not what evil is on 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 thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they empty [themselves]; And if a tree doth fall in the south or to the north, The place where the tree falleth, there it is.
4 Di da ouesaleawane, fo amola gibu ea hou defele fawane hawa: bugimusa: dawa: sea, di da hamedafa bugimu amola hamedafa gamimu.
Whoso is observing the wind soweth not, And whoso is looking on the thick clouds reapeth not.
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, How — bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work of God who maketh the whole.
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 at even withdraw not thy hand, For thou knowest not which is right, this or that, Or whether both of them alike [are] good.
7 Wali esoha amo hahawane nodomu da defea.
Sweet also [is] the light, And good for 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.
But, if man liveth many years, In all of them let him rejoice, And remember the days of darkness, For they are many! all that is coming [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 childhood, And let thy heart gladden thee in days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thy heart, And in the sight of thine eyes, And know thou that for all these, Doth God 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.
And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age [are] vanity!
