Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 6
1 Na da amo hou ba: i dagoi. Osobo bagade ganodini, defele hame hou da diala.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is great on men:
2 Gode da dunu afaega muni bagade, soge bagade, nodosu hou amola ea hanai defele ema iaha. Be e da hedolo bogomuba: le, e da amo liligi hahawane gagumu hamedei ba: sa. Dunu eno da amo liligi hahawane lamu. Amo hou da hamedei, moloi hame gala.
[There is many] a man to whom God hath given riches, property, and honor, and nothing is wanting for his soul of all that he longeth for: yet God empowereth him not to eat thereof, but a stranger will consume it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 Dunu da eso bagohame esalea amola mano100 agoane lalelegesea, be e da hahawane hame ba: sea amola ea da: i hodo ilia noga: le hame ulidogosea amo da hamedei liligi. Dudubu da bogoiwane lalelegesea da amo dunu ea hou baligisa.
If a man were to beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years were many, and his soul were not satisfied with what is good, and he have not had even a burial: then do I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
4 Agoai dudubu da hame lalelegemu da defea galu. E da gasi ganodini ahoabeba: le, dunu da amo hedolo gogolesa.
For in vanity it came, and in darkness it departeth, and with darkness will its name be covered.
5 E da eso ea hadigi hame ba: sa. E da osobo bagadega esalusu hame dawa: Be e da helefisu ba: sa.
Moreover it never saw the sun, and knew nothing: this hath more rest than the other.
6 Be dunu da hahawane hame esalea da helefisu hame ba: sa. E da ode2000 amoga esalea, helefisu hame ba: mu. Bai e amola amo dudubu ela da sogebi afaega masunu.
Yea, though he were to live a thousand years twice told, and had not seen any good— doth not every one go to one place?
7 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane ha: i manusa: fawane hamosa. Be ea labe da defele hamedafa ba: sa.
All the toil of a man is for his mouth; and yet is his desire never filled.
8 Bagade dawa: su dunu ea hou da habodane gagaoui dunu ea hou baligima: bela: ? Hame gagui dunu da eno dunu ba: ma: ne hou ida: iwane hamosea, da adi bidi lama: bela: ?
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk [properly] before the living?
9 Amo da hamedeidafa. Amo da udigili fo mabe se bobogebe agoai gala. Dilia da dilia gagui amoga hahawane ganumu da defea. Eno liligi lamusa: amoga hanai ba: mu da defea hame.
Better is what one seeth with the eyes than the wandering of the desire. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.
10 Mabe hou huluane da musa: dafa ilegei dagoi ba: i. Ninia huluane dawa: , dunu da ea gasa baligi dunuma sia: ga gegemu da hamedei.
That which hath been is already called by its name, and it is known that he is a man: and he is not able to contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 Dia gebewane sia: ga gegenanea, di da baligiliwane hamedei ba: mu. Amola amo da dia hou hamedafa fidimu.
For there are many things that increase vanity: what advantage [cometh thence] for man?
12 Osobo bagade dunu ea esalusu da baba agoane, hedolowane alalolesisa. Amo esalusu ganodini, ninia da habodane noga: i logodafa dawa: ma: bela: ? Ninia da bogole, fa: no misunu hou habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?
For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, the number of the days of his vain life, that he should spend them as a shadow? for who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
