Ecclesiastes 3
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
Ma nukewa ma sikyak fin faclu sikyak fal nu ke pacl la.
2 a time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted,
Oasr pacl in isusla, ac pacl in misa, Oasr pacl in yukwiya, ac pacl in fusak.
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up,
Oasr pacl in uniya, ac pacl in akkeye, Oasr pacl in kunausla, ac pacl in musaeak.
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance,
Oasr pacl in tung, ac pacl in israsr, Oasr pacl in mwemelil, ac pacl in onsrosro.
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing,
Oasr pacl in sisalik eot uh, ac pacl in eisani eot uh, Oasr pacl in kafis, ac pacl in tia kafis.
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose, a time to keep, and a time to cast away,
Oasr pacl in suk, ac pacl in tila suk, Oasr pacl in liyaung, ac pacl in sisla.
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak,
Oasr pacl in seya, ac pacl in twani, Oasr pacl in kaskas, ac pacl in tia kaskas.
8 a time to love, and a time to hate, a time for war, and a time for peace.
Oasr pacl nu ke lungse, ac pacl nu ke srunga, Oasr pacl nu ke mweun, ac pacl nu ke misla.
9 What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
Mea sie mwet el eis ke orekma nukewa lal?
10 I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men to be employed therewith.
Nga etu ke mwe utuk toasr ma God El filiya facsr.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
El oaki pacl fal nu ke ma nukewa. El oaki nu sesr tuh kut in kena etu ke pacl fahsru, tusruktu El tia ase nu sesr in etu nufon ma El oru.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
Ke ma inge nga akilen lah ma kut ku in oru pa in engan ac oru wo ke kuiyasr nufon ke lusen moul lasr uh.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor. It is the gift of God.
Kut nukewa enenu in mongo ac nim ac engankin ma kut orekma nu kac. Ma inge mwe kite lun God.
14 I know that, whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it. And God has done it that men should fear before him.
Nga etu lah ma nukewa God El oru uh ac oan ma pahtpat. Kut koflana laesla kutena ma nu kac ku eisla kutena ma liki. Ac God El oru ouinge tuh mwet uh in sunakunul ac akfulatyal.
15 That which is, has been long ago, and that which is to be, has long ago been. And God seeks again that which has passed away.
Kutena ma su sikyak tari, sikyak pac in pacl inge. Kutena ma su ac fah sikyak in pacl fahsru, nuna sikyak tari meet. God El oru tuh ma inge in sikyak na sikyak.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there, and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
Sayen ma inge, nga liye pac mu fin facl se inge, yen ma nununku suwohs ac pwaye eneneyuk in oasr we, ma koluk ac sesuwos pa oasr we.
17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous man and the wicked man, for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Nga fahk nu sik sifacna, “God El fah nununku mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk oana sie, mweyen ma nukewa ac kain in mukuikui nukewa fah sikyak in pacl fal la.”
18 I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are beasts.
Nga nunku tuh God El srike kut in akkalemye nu sesr lah kut tia sie na liki ma orakrak uh.
19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts, even one thing befalls them; as the one dies, so dies the other. Yea, they all have one breath, and man has no preeminence above the beasts; for all is vanity.
Ma kalem uh pa saflaiyen mwet uh, ac ma orakrak uh, oana sie. Elos kewa ma orekla ac oasr momong la, ac kewana ac misa. Mwet uh tia fulat liki ma orakrak uh, mweyen moul uh ma lusrongten nu seltal kewa.
20 All go to one place. All are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Elos kewa ac som nu ke yen sefanna — nu infohk uh. Eltal na kewa orekla ke fohk, ac eltal na kewa fah sifil ekla nu kac.
21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?
Su ku in etu na pwaye lah ngunin mwet uh ac sowak nu lucng, ac ngunin ma orakrak uh ac som nu ten nu infohk uh?
22 Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion. For who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?
Ouinge nga akilen lah ma se wo emeet kut in oru uh pa in engankin ma kut orala. Wangin pac ma saya. Kut tia ku in etu lah mea ac fah sikyak tukun kut misa.
