< Ecclesiastes 12 >

1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of adversity come and the years approach of which you will say, “I find no pleasure in them,”
Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzanka'amofona antahineminka monora hunto. Hagi henkama havi knafima ufresunka nagra mani'zanigura musena osue hunka hugahane.
2 before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,
Zagene ikane, hanafi'mofo masamo'ma kavurgare'ma rehanintirima nosnigeno, ko'ma nerigeno'ma negia hampomo'ma rehanintirima osu'nesire Anumzamofona antahimio.
3 on the day the keepers of the house tremble and the strong men stoop, when those grinding cease because they are few and those watching through windows see dimly,
Hagi ana knafina tamazamo'a hanavemo'a omanena tamahirahi nerenkeno, osi'a tamave nemenkeno, tamavua asu hugahie.
4 when the doors to the street are shut and the sound of the mill fades away, when one rises at the sound of a bird and all the daughters of song grow faint,
Kagesamo'ma ankani orenesigenka eri'zama enerisaza agasasama nentahisante Anumzamofona antahimio. Hagi menina ese nama ageru arigenka onetine. Hianagi ana maka namaramimofo agerumo'a agerura rume vuno ome osi huno taganegahie.
5 when men fear the heights and dangers of the road, when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper loses its spring, and the caper berry shrivels— for then man goes to his eternal home and mourners walk the streets.
Agonaregama mareri zanku'ma koroma osuge, ra'naregama uramizanku'ma koro'ma osuge, almoni zafa amosre gna huno kazokamo efeke osuge, fri'zama nehia kenumo'ma hagagi hagagi'ma nehiaza osuge, vea zama hu kavesi'zamo'ma evuoramige'ma hu'nenire Anumzamofona antahimio. Mani vava kuma mati'matitegama vurava'o osuge, vogisifama omase'nenankeno vahe'mo'ma zavima ote'nenire Anumzanka'amofona antahimio.
6 Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is crushed, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,
Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante Anumzanka'amofona antahimio. Hagi silva nofimo akampru osunenigeno, golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kavomo'ma takoma osu'nenire tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzamofona antahimio. Avega ante'negeno tinkavomo'a takora huge, kavore'ma rente'nea nofi'ma avreno tinkerifima uneramia nofimo'a havizana osino.
7 before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Ana'ma hanigeno'a kugusopamo'a eteno moparega vinkeno, tami'nea netega avamutimo'a Anumzamofontega ete vugahie.
8 “Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile!”
Mika zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne huno rempi humi' ne'mo'a hu'ne. Tamage huno ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne.
9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.
Rempi humi ne'mo'a knare antahi'zana nagrike suzane huno osu'neanki, maka zama antahino keno'ma hu'nea zana vahetmina rempi huzmi'ne. Vahe'mofo knare antahi'zana antahino keno hu so'e huteno, isa'are erinte fatgo hutere huno krente'ne.
10 The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.
Hagi rempi humi ne'mo'a haganentake nanekema huama'ma hunakura hakeno keno erifore huteno, ana antahi'zana knare huno tamage nanekea eriama huno krente'ne.
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekemo'a, sipisipi afu azeri fatgo nehia agona azotagna hu'ne. Hagi knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekema eri atruma hu'zamo'a, rama'a nirireti zafa ahentroko higeno hankavetino meankna hugahie.
12 And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.
Hianagi mofavrenimoka mago'ene kavumro nanekea kasamigahue, rama'a avontafe'ma kre zankura kva huo. Na'ankure avontafe'ma kre'zamo'a atumpa'a omnegeno, avontafe'ma hamprino antahi'zama erizamo'a kazeri kavresra hugahie.
13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
Hago ana maka nanekea huvagaroe. Hagi amanage hu'na vagare nanekea hugahue, Anumzamofonku korora huntenka agoraga'a nemaninka kasege'a avaririo, na'ankure e'i ana maka vahe'mo'ma amage antesia ke me'ne.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
Hagi maka zantmima oku'a nehuna zane, knare tavutva nehuna zane, havi tavutva nehuna zantera Anumzamo'a keaga huranteno refko hugahie.
