Ecclesiastes 9
1 So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.
Na da amo dawa: i liligi bu bagadewane dawa: lalu, agoane dawa: i. Gode da bagade dawa: su amola moloidafa dunu ilia hamobe huluane ouligisa. Amola ilia asigi hou amola higasu hou huluane ouligisa. Dunu afae da ema fa: no doaga: mu hou hamedafa dawa:
2 It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.
Be amo da osobo bagade hou hame afadenesa. Hobea misunu hou da defele moloidafa dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu, noga: i dunu amola wadela: i dunu, Gode Ea hou lalegagui amola hame lalegagui, gobele salasu hamobe dunu amola gobele salasu hame hamobe, ilima defele doaga: sa. Hou da moloidafa dunuma doaga: be da hou amo da wadela: i hamosu dunuma doaga: be, amo hame baligisa. Hou da dunu amo da sia: ilegebeba: le doaga: be, da hou amo sia: hame ilegesu dunuma doaga: be, hame baligisa.
3 This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
Fa: no misunu hou da dunu huluanedafa ilima defele doaga: be. Amola amo hou da hou eno osobo bagadega diala defele, defea hame gala. Osobo bagade dunu da esalebeba: le, ilia asigi dawa: su da wadela: i hou amola doulasi hou amoga nabai gala. Amalalu, ilia da hedolowane bogosa.
4 There is hope, however, for anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
Be nowa da osobo bagadega esalea, da dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su fonobahadi gala. Wa: me esalebe da laione wa: me bogoi ea hou baligisa.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
Dafawane! Esalebe dunu da ilia fa: no da bogomu amo dawa: Be bogoi dunu da dawa: mu hamedei. Ilia da noga: i bidi eno lamu hamedei. Eno dunu da ili dafawane gogolesa.
6 Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.
Ilia asigi hou, higasu hou amola ilia hanai hou da ili galu bogoi dagoi. Ilia da osobo bagade hamobe liligi amoga bu hamedafa gilisimu.
7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
Defea! Hamoma! Dia ha: i manu hahawane moma! Dia waini hano hahawane moma! Gode da amo da defea dawa: sa.
8 Let your garments always be white, and never spare the oil for your head.
Eso huluane fedege agoane, abula ahia: iai salima amola dia dialuma da: iya susuligi sogadigima!
9 Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.
Gode da dima udigili esalusu iabe, amo ganodini, di amola dia sasagesu uda ali hahawane esaloma! Hamedei eso huluane amoga, hahawane ba: mu. Bai dia esalusu amoga di da amo dabe fawane lamu.
10 Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. (Sheol h7585)
Dia hawa: hamosea, gasa fili hamoma! Bai di bogoi sogebi doaga: sea, hawa: hamomu amola asigiga dawa: mu amola bagade dawa: su hou huluane bu hamedafa ba: mu. Amola di da bogoi soge amogawi masunu. (Sheol h7585)
11 I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.
Na da eno liligi dawa: i. Osobo bagadega, hehenasu bagade dawa: dunu da eso huluane hame baligisa, amola beda: hamedei dunu da eso huluane gegesu ganodini hame hasala. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane ilia labe defele, muni hame laha. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane bagade gaguiwane hame ba: sa. Amola hawa: hamosu dawa: dunu da eso huluane ouligisu hou hamoma: ne hame heda: sa. Dunu huluane da se nabasu ba: sa.
12 For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.
Dia bogomu eso dima manebe, amo di hame dawa: Sio saniga sa: i agoai amola menabo segega dabe agoai, ninia wadela: i eso amoga ninia hame dawa: i, saniga sa: i dagoi ba: mu.
13 I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:
Na da eno liligi ba: i. Amo da ado digisu amo osobo bagade dunu da bagade dawa: su hou agoane ba: sa.
14 There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
“Moilai fonobahadi dialebe ba: i. Amo ganodini, dunu bagahame fawane esalebe ba: i. Gasa bagade hina bagade dunu da amo moilai doagala: i. Ea dadi gagui da moilai sisiga: le, gagoi gadelale sa: imusa: momagei.
15 Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
Hame gagui dunu afae da amogai esalu. E da bagade dawa: beba: le, amo moilai gaga: musa: dawa: defele galu. Be dunu afaega da amo ea hame dawa: digi.”
16 And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
Na da eso huluane agoane sia: su. Bagade dawa: su hou da gasa baligisa. Be dunu huluane da hame gagui dunu da dawa: su gala amo hame dawa: sa. Amola ilia da hame gagui dunu ea fada: i sia: hame naba.
17 The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
Bagade dawa: su dunu ea asaboi sia: nabimu da defea. Be ouligisu dunu da gagaoui dunu ilia gilisili sia: fasu ganodini, amo ea wesu nabimu da defea hame.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
Bagade dawa: su hou ea hamobe da gegesu liligi ilia hamobe baligisa. Be wadela: i hamosu dunu afae da hou noga: iwane bagohame wadela: lesimusa: dawa:
