Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be futile.
Na da hahawane hou hamomusa: ne hogoi helei. Be na ba: loba, amo hou amola da hamedeidafa ba: i.
2 I said of laughter, “It is folly,” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”
Na ba: loba, osobo bagade dunu ilia ousu hou amola hahawane hou, amo huluane da hamedei fawane.
3 I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
Na da dawa: bagade lamusa: hanaiba: le, da: i dioi galu. Bu hahawane ba: ma: ne, na da waini hano manusa: dawa: i. Na da dunu ilia osobo bagadega ode bagahame fawane esalea, noga: iwane habodane esaloma: bela: le, logo hogoi helei.
4 I expanded my pursuits. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.
Na da hawa: bagade hamoi. Na da nisu diasu gaguli amola waini efe bagohame bugisu.
5 I made gardens and parks for myself, where I planted all kinds of fruit trees.
Na ifabia ha: i manu liligi huluane bugi, amola fage legebe ifa enoenoi huluane bugi.
6 I built reservoirs to water my groves of flourishing trees.
Na da amo bugiga hano soga: musa: , hano ha: ima: ne dogonesisi.
7 I acquired menservants and maidservants, and servants were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me,
Na da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu bagohame bidi lai dagoi. Amola na diasuga, eno udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da lalelegei. Amola na ohe fofoi amo idi da dunu huluane musa: Yelusalemega esalu dunu ilia ohe fofoi idi, amo bagade baligi ba: i.
8 and I accumulated for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered to myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men—many concubines.
Amola soge na ouligi, amoga na da silifa amola gouli lale, gilisili gagosa heda: i. Dunu amola uda da na ge noga: ma: ne nama gesami hea: i. Amola na da uda bagohame, na hanai defele lai dagoi.
9 So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.
Dafawane! Na da gasa bagadedafa ba: i. Amola dunu eno musa: Yelusaleme amo ganodini esalu, da na gasa defele hame ba: su. Na dawa: lai hou da hame dafai.
10 Anything my eyes desired, I did not deny myself. I refused my heart no pleasure. For my heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.
Na da na hanai huluane amoga liligi lai. Na da adi hahawane hou hanai galea, na da amo hou hamosu. Na da hawa: hamobeba: le, bidi lai, amo da hahawane ba: i.
11 Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
Amalalu, na da na bagade hawa: hamosu bu dawa: beba: le, amo amola da hamedei liligi dawa: i. Amo da fo se bobogesu defele ba: i. Hamedeidafa!
12 Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
Hina bagade ilia da hou amo musa: hina dunu ilia hamoi amo defele fawane hamomusa: dawa: Amaiba: le, na da gagaoui hou amola bagade dawa: su hou amola afafamusa: bu dawa: i.
13 And I saw that wisdom exceeds folly, just as light exceeds darkness:
Dafawane! Hadigi ea hou da gasi ea hou baligisa. Amola amo defele, bagade dawa: su hou da gagaoui hou baligisa.
14 The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Dawa: su dunu da ilia ahoabe logo noga: le ba: sa. Be gagaoui dunu da ilia ahoabe logo hame ba: sa. Be huluane da defele, bogosu eso ilima ilegei, amoga doaga: mu.
15 So I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will also befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to myself that this too is futile.
Na da nisu sia: i, ‘Na da gagaoui dunu defele bogosu ilegei amoga doaga: mu. Amaiba: le, na da bagade dawa: lai dagoiba: le, adi bidi labala?’ Be na da nisu bu adole i, “Na da bidi hamedafa lai. Hamedeidafa!”
16 For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
Dunu huluane da bagade dawa: su dunu gogolemu. Amola ilia da gagaoui dunu gogolemu. Hobea, ninia huluane da gogolei dagoi ba: mu. Ninia huluane, bagade dawa: su amola gagaoui dunu defele bogosu ba: mu.
17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Amaiba: le, na da esalusu da hamedei liligi ba: i. Na da na esalusu da fo se bobogesu hou defele ba: i.
18 I hated all for which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.
Na da liligi lama: ne gasa bagade hawa: hamosu. Be amo liligi na da na baligia mabe dunu ema nana imunu dawa: beba: le, na da amo liligi hamedeiwane ba: i.
19 And who knows whether that man will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
Nama baligia aligila mabe dunu da bagade dawa: su dunu ba: ma: bela: ? O gagaoui dunu ba: ma: bela: ? Na da hame dawa: Be e da na liligi, na da lama: ne gasa bagade hawa: hamoi, amo huluane e da lamu. Amaiba: le, hawa: hamosu huluane da hamedei liligi agoai.
20 So my heart began to despair over all the labor that I had done under the sun.
Amaiba: le, na da musa: bagadewane hawa: hamoi, amo dawa: beba: le, na dogoga bagadedafa se nabi.
21 When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.
Di da liligi lamusa: , dia asigi dawa: su bagadega, amola dawa: lai hou amoga, gasa bagade hamosa. Be di bogosea, dunu eno e da amo lamusa: hame hawa: hamosu, e da dia nana liligi udigili alofele gagumu. Amo hou da defele hame ba: sa, amola hamedeiwane ba: sa.
22 For what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun?
Di da esala bagadewane hawa: hamosa, amola da: i dione ahoa, be bididafa hame ba: sa.
23 Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.
Dia esala, dia hawa: hamobe amoga da: i dioi amola dogoga se nabasu, amo fawane ba: sa. Amola gasia, di da da: i dioiba: le, sidagane esala. Hou huluane da hamedei ba: sa.
24 Nothing is better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy his work. I have also seen that this is from the hand of God.
Amaiba: le, dunu ilia eno liligi mae dawa: le, udigili ha: i manu amola waini manu amola ea hawa: hamosu hamomu da defea. Be na bu dawa: loba, amo hou huluane amola da Gode Emadini maha, na dawa: i.
25 For apart from Him, who can eat and who can find enjoyment?
Gode da dima amo liligi hame ia ganiaba, di da habodane ha: i manu lama: bela: o eso huluane nodone hahawane esaloma: bela: ?
26 To the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Nowa dunu da Gode Ea ba: mane hou noga: le hamosea, Gode da amo dunuma dawa: su noga: i, dawa: noga: i, amola hahawane hou iaha. Be E da wadela: i hamosu dunu hawa: hamoma: ne adosa. Gode Ea ba: ma: ne hou noga: i hamosu dunu, ilia da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu bidi amo lama: ne, Gode da wadela: i dunuma hawa: hamoma: ne adosa. Amo hou huluane da hamedei liligi, fo se bobogebe agoai ba: sa.
