Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who is like the wise man? Who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man’s wisdom brightens his face, and the sternness 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 Keep the king’s command, I say, because of your oath before 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 hasten to leave his presence, and do not persist in a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
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, and 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 his command will come to no harm, and a wise heart knows the right 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 right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon him.
Na'ankure vahe'mofona hazenke zama'amo'a marerigahianagi, maka zamofona kna'a metere higeno kankamuma'a metere hu'ne.
7 Since no one knows what will happen, who can tell him what is to come?
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 As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release 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, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own detriment.
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 Then too, I saw the burial of the wicked who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they were praised in the city where they had done so. This too is futile.
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 When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing 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 Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and still lives long, yet I also know that it will go well with those who fear God, who are reverent in His presence.
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 Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
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 futility that is done on the earth: There are righteous men who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked men who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.
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 So I commended the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be merry. For this joy will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives 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 mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the 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 I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.
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.
