Eklesiastes 6
1 Aseneno richo machielo e piny, kendo obedo sandruok ahinya ni dhano:
ʻOku ai ʻae kovi kuo u mamata ki ai ʻi he lalo laʻā, pea ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he tangata.
2 Nyasaye miyo dhano mwandu, ngima maber kod luor makende, mondo kik obed maonge gimoro amora ma chunye dwaro, makmana Nyasaye ok miye thuolo mar bedo gi mor kuomgi, kendo ngʼato nono ema bedo mamor kodgi. Maonge tiende, kendo en richo marach moloyo.
Ko e tangata ʻaia ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae paʻanga lahi, mo e koloa lahi, mo e ongoongolelei, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne masiva ai ʻi ha meʻa ki hono laumālie ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne holi ki ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai foaki ʻae mālohi kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke ne kamata ia, ka ʻoku kai ia ʻe he kakai kehe; ko e vaʻinga eni, pea ko e mahaki kovi moʻoni.
3 Ngʼato nyalo bedo kod nyithindo mia achiel kendo odak higni mangʼeny; to kata bed ni odak mangʼeny maromo nade, ka ok onyal yudo mor kuom mwandune kendo ok oike maber ka otho, to awacho ni nyathi monywol kosetho ber moloye.
Kapau ʻe tupu ʻi ha tangata ʻae fānau ʻe toko teau, pea moʻui ia ki he ngaahi taʻu lahi, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono taʻu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakapito hono laumālie ʻi he lelei, pea ka mate ia ʻoku ʻikai fai hano putu; ʻoku ou pehē ʻeau, ʻoku lelei hake ʻiate ia ha fanauʻi taʻehoko.
4 Nywol mar nyathi ma kamano en kayiem nono, olal e mudho kendo kata nying ok chake.
He koeʻuhi ʻoku hoko mai ia mo e vaʻinga, pea ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻa hono hingoa.
5 Kata obedo ni ne ok oneno wangʼ chiengʼ kamano, kata ngʼeyo gimoro amora, to en gi kwe moloyo ngʼat
Kaeʻumaʻā eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he laʻā, pe ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha: ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻene fiemālie ʻaʻana ʻi he tokotaha ko ia.
6 modak higni gana gi gana to onge gi mor. Donge giduto gidhi mana kamoro achiel?
ʻIo, neongo ʻene moʻui ʻi ha taʻu ʻe ua afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he lelei: ʻikai ʻoku ʻalu kotoa pē ki he potu pe taha?
7 Dhano tiyo matek mondo oyud gima ochamo, to kata kamano gik moyudo ok rome.
ʻOku fai ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻae tangata, koeʻuhi ko hono ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fiu ai ʻene holi.
8 En angʼo ma ngʼama riek nigo moloyo ngʼama ofuwo? En ohala mane ma ngʼama ofuwo yudo kuom ngʼeyo kaka dodimbre e nyim joma moko?
He ko e hā ʻoku maʻu lahi hake ʻe he poto ʻiate ia ʻoku vale? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe he masiva, ʻaia ʻoku ʻilo ke ʻalu totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai moʻui?
9 Ber bedo mamor gi gik ma in-go moloyo bedo gi gombo kuom gima iongego. Ma bende en gima onge tiende kendo ochalo mana kalawo bangʼ yamo.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae sio ʻae mata ʻi he holi fano ʻae laumālie: he ko e vaʻinga foki eni mo e fakamamahi ki he laumālie.
10 Gimoro amora mantiere nosemi nyinge chon, kendo gima dhano en bende nosengʼe; onge ngʼama nyalo piem gi ngʼama oloye gi teko.
Ko e meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai kuo ʻosi hono fakahingoa, pea kuo ʻilo ia ko e tangata: ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fekuki ia mo ia ʻoku mālohi lahi kiate ia.
11 Kaka weche bedo mathoth, e kaka gibedo maonge tiendgi. To ere kaka mano miyo ngʼato ohala?
Pea ʻi he ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tupulekina ai ʻae vaʻinga, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki he tangata?
12 Ere ngʼama nyalo ngʼeyo gima ber ma dhano onego tim e ngima machiekni kendo manono makadho mana ka tipo? Koso ere ngʼama nyalo nyise gima biro timorene e piny bangʼ thone?
He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei ki he tangata ʻi he moʻui ni, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui vaʻinga, ʻaia ʻoku mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata? He ko hai ʻoku faʻa tala ki he tangata ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko kimui ʻiate ia ʻi he lalo laʻā?
