Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 1
1 Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dunu afae dawa: laidafa, e da goe sia: olelei. Amo dunu da Da: ibidi egefe amola e da musa: Isala: ili ilia hina bagade Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalu.
These are the words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 Amo Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dawa: laidafa dunu da amane sia: i, “Bai hamedei! Bai hamedei! Esalusu huluane da bai hame gala.
“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher, “futility of futilities! Everything is futile!”
3 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane hawa: hahamona ahoana, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
What does a man gain from all his labor, at which he toils under the sun?
4 Musa: fi ilia bogole bu buga: le, gaheabolo fifi mana, be amomane osobo bagade da mae afadenene amaiwane diala.
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
5 Eso da mana amola dala, bu sinidigili amanewane ogobe digili heda: le bu diga: la: lebe ba: sa.
The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.
6 Fo da na: iyado bega: dili amola na: iyado bega: dili momafunana, amola gebewane sisiga: sisiga: la.
The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.
7 Hano huluane da wayabo bagadega adimina ahoa, be amomane hano wayabo da hamedafa nabala heda: Amola hano da siba hamone banugumaga bu sa: ili, amanewane sinididigilala.
All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.
8 Liligi huluane loboga hamobe amola sia: ga sia: be amola hele bagadedafa naba. Ninia siga ba: sa be hame ba: le dagosa, amola ninia gega naba be hame naba dagosa.
All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.
9 Liligi musa: hamosu da bu ba: mu. Osobo bagade huluane amo ganodini da liligi gaheabolo eno hame.
What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
10 “Ba: ma!” ilia da sia: sa. “Liligi gaheabolo da goea.” Be amomane hame. Be ninia hame lalelegei amo galu, amo liligi huluane da dialu.
Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.
11 Dunu afaega da musa: hamoi hame dawa: Amola dunu afae da fa: no misunu hou hamedafa dawa:
There is no remembrance of those who came before, and those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow after.
12 “Na, Sia: dabe Alofele Iasu dawa: lai dunu, na da Isala: ili dunu fi ilia hina bagade Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalusu.
I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 Na da liligi huluane dunu ilia osobo bagade ganodini hamonana, amo ilia bai hogoi helemusa: dawa: i galu. Na da agoane ba: i. Gode da ninima da: i diosu bagade ninima iana.
And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them!
14 Na da osobo bagade goe ganodini hamoi huluane na ba: i dagoi, amola na da sia: sa amo da hamedei liligi, fo mabe se bobogebe agoai galebe.
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.
15 Dia da liligi guga: loi amo molomu da hamedei. Liligi dia hame ba: be amo idimu da hamedei.
What is crooked cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 Na da nisu amane sia: i, “Na da bagadedafa dawa: lai dunu, amola na dawa: i hou da musa: Yelusaleme ouligisu dunu ilia dawa: i hou baligisa.
I said to myself, “Behold, I have grown and increased in wisdom beyond all those before me who were over Jerusalem, and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”
17 Bagade dawa: su hou, amola gagaoui hou, da hisu. Noga: i dawa: su hou, amola gagaoui hou, da hisu. Amo afafama: ne dawa: musa: , na da logo hogoi helei. Be hamedeiba: le, na da gagaoui dunu fo mabe se bobogebe agoai ba: i.
So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.
18 Di da dawa: bagade lasea, da: i diosu amola baligili ba: mu. Di da dawa: su hou baligili lasea, se baligili nabimu.
For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases.
