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 descendant of David and 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.
The Teacher says this. “Like a vapor of mist, like a breeze in the wind, everything vanishes, leaving many questions.
3 Osobo bagade dunu da eso huluane hawa: hahamona ahoana, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
What profit does mankind gain from all the work that they labor at 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 goes, and another generation comes, 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 it goes down and hurries back to the place where it rises again.
6 Fo da na: iyado bega: dili amola na: iyado bega: dili momafunana, amola gebewane sisiga: sisiga: la.
The wind blows south and circles around to the north, always going around along its pathway and coming back again.
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, but the sea is never full. To the place where the rivers go, there 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.
Everything becomes wearisome, and no one can explain it. The eye is not satisfied by what it sees, nor is the ear fulfilled by what it hears.
9 Liligi musa: hamosu da bu ba: mu. Osobo bagade huluane amo ganodini da liligi gaheabolo eno hame.
Whatever has been is what will be, and whatever has been done is what will be done. 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 anything about which it may be said, 'Look, this is new'? Whatever exists has already existed for a long time, during ages which came long before us.
11 Dunu afaega da musa: hamoi hame dawa: Amola dunu afae da fa: no misunu hou hamedafa dawa:
No one seems to remember the things that happened in ancient times, and the things that happened much later and that will happen in the future will not likely be remembered either.”
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 am the Teacher, and I 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.
I applied my mind to study and to search out by wisdom everything that is done under heaven. That search is a burdensome task that God has given to the children of mankind to be busy with.
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 deeds that are done under the sun, and look, they all amount to vapor and chasing the wind.
15 Dia da liligi guga: loi amo molomu da hamedei. Liligi dia hame ba: be amo idimu da hamedei.
The twisted cannot be straightened! The missing 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 have spoken to my heart saying, “Look, I have acquired greater wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My mind has seen great 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 applied my heart to know wisdom and also madness and folly. I came to understand that this also was an attempt to shepherd 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 in the abundance of wisdom there is much frustration, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
