Ecclesiastes 3
1 To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
Ta adda naituding a tiempo para iti amin a banag, ken panawen para iti tunggal panggep iti baba ti langit.
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
Adda tiempo iti pannakaiyanak ken adda tiempo iti pannakatay, adda tiempo iti panagmula ken tiempo iti panangparut kadagiti mula,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build,
adda tiempo iti panangpapatay ken adda tiempo iti pannakapaimbag, adda tiempo iti panangdadael ken adda tiempo iti panangbangon,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
adda tiempo iti panagsangit ken adda tiempo iti panagkatawa, adda tiempo iti panagladingit ken adda tiempo iti panagsasala,
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,
adda tiempo iti panangipurwak kadagiti batbato, ken adda tiempo iti panagurnong kadagiti batbato, adda tiempo iti panangarakup kadagiti dadduma a tattao ken adda tiempo iti panagliklik manipud iti pannakaarakup,
6 a time to search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard,
adda tiempo ti panagbiruk kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagsardeng ti panagbirbiruk, adda tiempo ti panagidulin kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagibelleng kadagiti banbanag,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
adda tiempo ti panagpigis kadagiti kawkawes ken adda tiempo ti panagisimpa kadagiti kawkawes, adda tiempo ti panagulimek ken adda tiempo ti panagsao,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
adda tiempo ti panagayat ken adda tiempo ti panaggura, adda tiempo para iti gubat ken adda tiempo para iti kappia.
9 What does the worker gain from his toil?
Ania ti magunggona ti trabahador kadagiti pagbanbanoganna?
10 I have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them.
Nakitakon ti trabaho nga inted ti Dios kadagiti tattao a leppasenda.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
Inaramid ti Dios dagiti amin a banbanag a maitutop iti umno a tiempo. Inkabilna pay ti kinaagnanayon kadagiti puspusoda. Ngem saan a maawatan ti sangkatoan dagiti inaramid ti Dios, manipud kadagiti rugrugida agingga kadagiti panagleppasda.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
Ammok nga awan ti nasaysayaat para iti siasinoman ngem ti agrag-o ken agaramid iti nasayaat kas agbibiag isuna—
13 and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
ken mangan ken uminom koma ti tunggal maysa ken maawatanda koma no kasano a ragsakenda dagiti nasasayaat nga aggapu kadagiti amin a trabahoda. Sagut daytoy manipud iti Dios.
14 I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
Ammok nga agtalinaed nga agnanayon ti aniaman nga aramiden ti Dios. Awan ti mainayon wenno maikkat iti daytoy, gapu ta ti Dios ti nangaramid iti daytoy tapno umasideg dagiti tattao kenkuana nga addaan iti dayaw.
15 What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
Aniaman nga adda ket addan idi, aniaman nga umaddanto ket addan. Inaramid ti Dios nga agbirok dagiti tattao kadagiti nakalemmeng a banbanag.
16 Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
Ket nakitak nga iti baba ti init, adda ti kinadangkes iti ayan koma ti hustisia, ken iti lugar ti kinalinteg ket masansan a masarakan ti kinadangkes.
17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
Kinunak iti pusok, “Ukomento ti Dios ti nalinteg ken nadangkes iti umno a tiempo para iti tunggal pasamak ken tunggal aramid.”
18 I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Kinunak iti pusok, “Subsuboken ti Dios dagiti tattao tapno ipakitana kadakuada a kasla da la dagiti ayup.”
19 For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
Ta agpada a gasat ti mapaspasamak kadagiti tattao a mapaspasamak kadagiti ayup. Kas kadagiti ayup, matay amin a tattao. Masapul nga umangesda amin ti agpada nga angin, tapno iti kasta a wagas awan ti pangatiwan dagiti tattao kadagiti ayup. Saan kadi a kasla laeng napardas nga anges dagiti amin a banag?
20 All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
Maymaysa a lugar ti pappapanan dagiti amin a banag. Naggapu amin iti tapok, ket agsubli amin iti tapok.
21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and the spirit of the animal descends into the earth?
Siasino ti makaammo no ti espiritu ti sangkataoan ket agpangato ken dagiti espiritu dagiti ayup ket agpababa iti uneg ti daga?
22 I have seen that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will come after him?
Isu a naamirisko manen nga awan ti nasaysayaat para ti siasinoman ngem ti agragsak iti trabahona, ta dayta ti naituding nga aramidenna. Siasino ti makaisubli kenkuana tapno makitana no ania ti mapasamak kalpasan ti biagna?
