Words of a preacher, 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, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities: the whole [is] vanity.
3 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane hawa: hahamona ahoana, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
What advantage [is] to man by all his labor that he labors at under the sun?
4 Musa: fi ilia bogole bu buga: le, gaheabolo fifi mana, be amomane osobo bagade da mae afadenene amaiwane diala.
A generation is going, and a generation is coming, and the earth is standing for all time.
5 Eso da mana amola dala, bu sinidigili amanewane ogobe digili heda: le bu diga: la: lebe ba: sa.
Also, the sun has risen, and the sun has gone in, and to its place panting it is rising there.
6 Fo da na: iyado bega: dili amola na: iyado bega: dili momafunana, amola gebewane sisiga: sisiga: la.
Going to the south, and turning around to the north, turning around, turning around, the wind is going, and by its circuits the wind has returned.
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 streams are going to the sea, and the sea is not full; to a place to where the streams are going, there they are turning back to go.
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 these things are wearying; a man is not able to speak, the eye is not satisfied by seeing, nor is the ear filled from hearing.
9 Liligi musa: hamosu da bu ba: mu. Osobo bagade huluane amo ganodini da liligi gaheabolo eno hame.
What [is] that which has been? It [is] that which is, and what [is] that which has been done? It [is] that which is done, and there is not an entirely new thing 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.
There is a thing of which [one] says: “See this, it [is] new!” Already it has been in the ages that were before us!
11 Dunu afaega da musa: hamoi hame dawa: Amola dunu afae da fa: no misunu hou hamedafa dawa:
There is not a remembrance of former [generations]; and also of the latter that are, there is no remembrance of them with those that are at the last.
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, a preacher, 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 have given my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that has been done under the heavens. It [is] a sad travail God has given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.
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 have been done under the sun, and behold, the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit!
15 Dia da liligi guga: loi amo molomu da hamedei. Liligi dia hame ba: be amo idimu da hamedei.
A crooked thing [one] is not able to make straight, and a lacking thing is not able to 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 heart, saying, “I, behold, have magnified and added wisdom above everyone who has been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart has seen wisdom and knowledge abundantly.
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 give my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I have known that even this [is] distress of spirit;
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 abundance of wisdom [is] abundance of sadness, and he who adds knowledge adds pain.”
