Eklesiastes 8
1 En ngʼa machalo gi ngʼama nigi rieko matut? En ngʼa mongʼeyo wacho tiend gik moko? Rieko miyo ngʼato bedo mamor kendo otieko ich wangʼ ma en-go.
The wisdom of a man schyneth in his cheer; and the myytieste schal chaunge his face.
2 Luor chik ruoth, awacho kamano, nikech ni kwongʼori e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
I kepe the mouth of the kyng, and the comaundementis and sweryngis of God.
3 Kik irikni ka ia e nyim ruoth. Kik ichwak ngʼama timo richo, nimar obiro timo gimora amora mohero.
Haste thou not to go awei fro his face, and dwelle thou not in yuel werk. For he schal do al thing, that he wole;
4 Nimar wach ruoth nigi teko, en ngʼa manyalo wachone niya, “Angʼo ma itimo?”
and his word is ful of power, and no man mai seie to hym, Whi doist thou so?
5 Ngʼato angʼata moluoro chikne ok noyud hinyruok moro amora, to chuny man-gi rieko biro ngʼeyo sa mowinjore mar timo gimoro kod chenro miluwo.
He that kepith the comaundement of God `in this lijf, schal not feele ony thing of yuel; the herte of a wijs man vndurstondith tyme and answer.
6 Nimar nitiere sa mowinjore kod chenro miluwo e gimoro amora, kata kamano dhier mar dhano pek moloye.
Tyme and cesoun is to ech werk; and myche turment is of a man,
7 Nimar dhano ok ongʼeyo gima biro, en ngʼa manyalo nyise gima biro?
for he knowith not thingis passid, and he mai not knowe bi ony messanger thingis to comynge.
8 Onge ngʼama nigi teko ewi yamo mondo ochike, omiyo onge ngʼama nigi teko e odiechieng thone. Mana kaka jalweny ok mi thuolo mar yweyo e kinde mag kedo, e kaka joricho bende ok yud thuolo kuom timbegigo.
It is not in the power of man to forbede the spirit, nethir he hath power in the dai of deth, nethir he is suffrid to haue reste, whanne the batel neiyeth; nethir wickidnesse schal saue a wickid man.
9 Magi duto ne aneno, kane aketo pacha e gik moko duto mitimo e piny. Nitie kinde moro ma ngʼato sandoe jowetegi to en owuon ema ohinyore.
I bihelde alle thes thingis, and Y yaf myn herte in alle werkis, that ben don vndur the sunne. Sum tyme a man is lord of a man, to his yuel.
10 Aseneno joma timbegi richo ka iyiko, jogo mane osiko kadonjo kendo wuok e kama ler kendo ne yudo pak e dala maduongʼ kuom gik ma ok mi Nyasaye duongʼ. Ma bende en tim manono.
Y siy wickid men biryed, which, whanne thei lyueden yit, weren in hooli place; and thei weren preisid in the citee, as men of iust werkis; but also this is vanyte.
11 Ka ngʼado bura ne janjore ok otim, to chuny ji pongʼ gi chenro mar timo marach.
Forsothe for the sentence is not brouyt forth soone ayens yuele men, the sones of men doon yuels with outen ony drede.
12 Kata obedo ni joma timbegi richo nyalo timo richo mathoth, to pod ginyalo dak kuom kinde mangʼeny, to gima angʼeyo en ni joma oluoro Nyasaye to biro dhi maber e nyim Nyasaye.
Netheles of that, that a synnere doith yuel an hundrid sithis, and is suffrid bi pacience, Y knew that good schal be to men dredynge God, that reuerensen his face.
13 Nikech joma timbegi mono ok oluoro Nyasaye, ok ginine maber kendo ngimagi nolal mana ka tipo.
Good be not to the wickid man, nethir hise daies be maad longe; but passe thei as schadewe, that dreden not the face of the Lord.
14 Nitiere gimoro machielo maonge tiende matimore e piny: joma kare mayudo gigo ma joma mono ema onego yudi, kod joma timbegi mono mayudo gigo monego joma kare ema yudi. Ma bende, awacho, ni onge tiende.
Also another vanyte is, which is don on erthe. Iust men ben, to whiche yuels comen, as if thei diden the werkis of wickid men; and wickid men ben, that ben so sikur, as if thei han the dedis of iust men; but Y deme also this moost veyn.
15 Omiyo ayie ni mondo ji owinj maber e ngima margi, nikech onge gima ber ne dhano e piny moloyo chiemo, metho kod bedo gimor. Bangʼe obiro bedo mamor kuom tije matek motiyo e kinde mar ngimane ma Nyasaye omiye ngima e piny ka.
Therfor Y preysid gladnesse, that no good was to a man vndur the sunne, no but to ete, and drynke, and to be ioiful; and that he schulde bere awei with hym silf oneli this of his trauel, in the daies of his lijf, whiche God yaf to hym vndur the sunne.
16 Kane aketo pacha mondo angʼe rieko kendo mondo anon tich matek mar dhano e piny-ka ka nindo ok tere odiechiengʼ gotieno,
And Y settide myn herte to knowe wisdom, and to vndurstonde the departing, which is turned in erthe. A man is, that bi daies and niytis takith not sleep with iyen.
17 to ne afwenyo ni gigo duto Nyasaye ema timo. Omiyo onge ngʼama ongʼeyo gigo matimore e piny. Kata dabed ni oketo chunye manade mar ngʼeyo tiendgi, to ok onyal ngʼeyo tiendgi. Bende kata ngʼama riek par ni ongʼeyo, to ok onyal winjo tiendgi maber.
And Y vndurstood, that of alle the werkis of God, a man may fynde no resoun of tho thingis, that ben don vndur the sunne; and in as myche as he traueilith more to seke, bi so myche he schal fynde lesse; yhe, thouy a wijs man seith that he knowith, he schal not mow fynde.
