Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 6
1 Na da amo hou ba: i dagoi. Osobo bagade ganodini, defele hame hou da diala.
Here was an evil, I had seen under the sun, —and it is, common, among 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.
A man to whom God giveth riches and gains and honour, so that nothing doth he lack for his soul—of all that he craveth, and yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but, a man unknown, eateth it, —this, was vanity, and, an incurable evil, it was.
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.
Though a man should beget a hundred children, and live, many years, so that many should be the days of his years but, his own soul, should not be satisfied with the good, and he should not even have, a burial, I said, Better than he, is an untimely birth!
4 Agoai dudubu da hame lalelegemu da defea galu. E da gasi ganodini ahoabeba: le, dunu da amo hedolo gogolesa.
For, in vain, it came in, and, in darkness, it departeth, —and, with darkness, its name, is covered:
5 E da eso ea hadigi hame ba: sa. E da osobo bagadega esalusu hame dawa: Be e da helefisu ba: sa.
even the sun, it never saw, nor aught did it know, —more quietness, hath this 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.
Even though one hath lived a thousand years twice told, yet, good, hath he not seen, —is it not, unto one place, that, all, are going?
7 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane ha: i manusa: fawane hamosa. Be ea labe da defele hamedafa ba: sa.
All the toil of man, is for his mouth, —though, even the desire, is not satisfied!
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 profit hath the wise man, over the dullard? What can, the poor man, know—so as to walk 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 what the eyes behold, than the wandering of desire, —even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.
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.
Whatsoever one may be, long ago, was he called by his name, and it is known that it is—Son of Earth, —he cannot, therefore, contend with one stronger than he.
11 Dia gebewane sia: ga gegenanea, di da baligiliwane hamedei ba: mu. Amola amo da dia hou hamedafa fidimu.
Seeing there are things in abundance which make vanity abound, what profit hath 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 a man throughout his life, for the number of the days of his life of vanity, seeing he will make them, like a shadow, —for who can tell a man, what shall be after him, under the sun?
