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.
THE WORDS OF the Koheleth, 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.
Vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
3 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane hawa: hahamona ahoana, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
What profit hath man of all his labour wherein he laboureth under the sun?
4 Musa: fi ilia bogole bu buga: le, gaheabolo fifi mana, be amomane osobo bagade da mae afadenene amaiwane diala.
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.
5 Eso da mana amola dala, bu sinidigili amanewane ogobe digili heda: le bu diga: la: lebe ba: sa.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he ariseth.
6 Fo da na: iyado bega: dili amola na: iyado bega: dili momafunana, amola gebewane sisiga: sisiga: la.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its circuit, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.
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 run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.
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 toil to weariness; man cannot utter it, the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 Liligi musa: hamosu da bu ba: mu. Osobo bagade huluane amo ganodini da liligi gaheabolo eno hame.
That which hath been is that which shall be, and that which hath been done is that which shall be done; and 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 thing whereof it is said: 'See, this is new'? — it hath been already, in the ages which were 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 them of former times; neither shall there be any remembrance of them of latter times that are to come, among those that shall come 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 Koheleth have been 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 applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.
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 works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
15 Dia da liligi guga: loi amo molomu da hamedei. Liligi dia hame ba: be amo idimu da hamedei.
That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
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 spoke with my own heart, saying: 'Lo, I have gotten great wisdom, more also than all that were before me over Jerusalem'; yea, my heart hath had great experience 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.
And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly — I perceived that this also was a striving after 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 in much wisdom is much vexation; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
