< Ecclesiastes 8 >

1 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
Iza knare antahi'zane vahera mani'neno, maka zamofo agafa'ama eri ama'ma hu'zana antahine? Knare antahizamo'a vahe'mofo avugosafi remsa higeno, avugosamo'a rumsa huno nevie.
2 I say, “Keep the king’s command!” because of the oath to God.
Kini ne'mofo ke antahinka amage anto hu'na nagra negasamue. Na'ankure kagra ko Anumzamofo avuga ke'a amage antegahue hunka huvempa hu'nane.
3 Do not be hasty to go out of his presence. Do not persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,
Ame'amara hunka kini ne'mofo avugatira eri'zanka'a atrenka vunka kini ne'mofoma ha'ma renentaza vahe'enena kea ome hu hageorafio. Na'ankure kini ne'mo'a nazano agri'ma avesinia zana amane hugahie.
4 for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
Kini ne'mofo kemo'a, hihamu'a me'ne. Mago vahe'mo'a agenoka huno, na'a nehane hunora osugahie.
5 Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.
Hiankino kini ne'mofo kema amage'ma antea vahe'mo'a, knazana e'origahie. Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a maka zama hania knane, maka'zama eri fore'ma hania kna fatgoa keno antahino hugahie.
6 For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.
Na'ankure vahe'mofona hazenke zama'amo'a marerigahianagi, maka zamofona kna'a metere higeno kankamuma'a metere hu'ne.
7 For he does not know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?
Tamagerfa huno okima fore'ma hania zana, mago vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osu'neankino, okima fore'ma hania zamofona, iza huamara huno tasamigahie?
8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.
Mago vahe'mofona hihamu'a omane'neankino, fri'zama nehanigeno asimu'amo'ma atre'zama nehanigeno'a aze'origahie. Anahu kna huno fri'zana mago vahe'mo'a aze'origahie. Ha'ma hu knafima sondia vahe'ma hunonteankna huno, kefo avu'ava zamo'a magore huno kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahera atresigeno ovugahie.
9 All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.
Maka zama ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zanku'ma antahintahima hufintira, mago zama kena eri fore'ma huana, vahe'mo'ma vahe'ma azeri haviza hu'zanke me'nege'na ke'noe.
10 So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.
Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma frige'za, antahimi'za knare'za hu'za asezamantazage'na zamage'noe. Ana'ma hu'za asentete'za, ete ana ne'mo'ma hazenkema eri hakarema nehia rankumapima ne-eza, ana ne'mofo agia ahentesga nehaze. E'inahu avu'ava zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne.
11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Hagi hazenkema nehaza vahe'ma keagazmima ame hu'zama refko'ma hu'za knama nozamizage'za, zamagrama zamagesama antahi'zana hazenkema hu'zana knare'za nehune nehu'za huvava huza nevaze.
12 Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama 100'a zupama hazenkema nehu'za za'za knama mani'za nevazage'na, nagrama antahi'na ke'nama huana Anumzamofoma koro'ma hunte'za agoraga'ama nemani'za vahe'mo'za zamagatere'za knare zantfa hu'za manigahaze.
13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.
Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama maka zama hanaza zamo'a, knarera huno hageno mareorigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofona korora hunontazanki'za, knama mani'zama vanaza knamo'a kinaga zagemo'ma ufregeno vahe amema'amo'ma fanene nehiankna hu'za fanene hugahaze.
14 There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
Hagi agafa'a omne zama mago'ma ama mopafima eri fore'ma nehiana, knare vahetmina kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'ma huzmantaza kna avu'ava hunezmante'za, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera knare vahetmima huzmantaza kna avu'ava hunezmantaze. E'inahu avu'ava zamo'enena agafa'a omne'ne.
15 Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat, to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
E'ina hu'negu ama mopafina magora knare zana omne'neanki, ne'zane tinema neneno musema huno'ma mani nomani'zamoke knarera hu'ne. E'ina'ma hanu'za Anumzamo'ma eri'zama zamige'za ama mopafima amuhoma hu'za eri fore'ma nehaza zantami nene'za musena hugahaze.
16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (even though eyes see no sleep day or night),
Hagi knare antahi'za erisue nehu'na, ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama knazama e'neriza zama koana, vahe'mofona avumase zana omane'neanki, feru'ene kenage'enena vahe'mo'a eri'zana eri vava nehige'na ke'noe.
17 then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he will not find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he will not be able to find it.
Anama hige'na nagrama ke'na antahi'nama huana, maka zama ama mopafima Anumzamo'ma tro nehia zana, mago vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osugahie. Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'enena nagra knare hu'noanki'na, Anumzamo'ma tro'ma nehia zana amne ke'na antahina hugahue huno hugahianagi, ana maka zana keno antahinora osugahie.
