< Ecclesiastes 2 >

1 I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure — but it was to no purpose.
Nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, Menina muse zampima knare zama me'nesigura refko hu'na kesue hu'noe. Hianagi ana muse zampima koana agafa'a omne'ne.
2 Of laughing I said, It is foolish; and of joy — What use is it?
Hagi musema nehuno kiza zokagoma hu'zana agafa'a omne avu'ava zankino, mago knare zana eri forera osugahie hu'na hu'noe.
3 I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.
Ama mopafima vahe'mo'zama osi'a knafima mani'neza musema nehazaza ke'nue hute'na, waini tina nene'na musena nehu'na, neginagi avu'ava zana hu'noe.
4 I undertook great works, building myself houses and planting vine-gardens.
Hanki ra eri'za eri'na tusinasi nontami kinente'na rama'a waini hozaramina nentena,
5 I made myself gardens and fruit gardens, planting in them fruit-trees of all sorts.
rama'a hoza nente'na, agona agona ruzahu ruzahu zafa ragama renentea zafaramina rama'a kri'noe.
6 I made pools to give water for the woods with their young trees.
Ana nehu'na tintamina ahentragi'na ana tirupinti tina afina zafa hoza tina ami'noe.
7 I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.
Kazokzo eri'za vene'nene a'nanenena mizasena zamavroge'za nonifina mani'ne'za mofavreramina kase hakare hu'naze. Hagi ko'ma mago'a kini vahe'ma Jerusalemima kinima mani'naza vahera, zamagatere'na rama'a sipisipi afutamine meme afutaminena ante'noe.
8 I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men — girls of all sorts to be my brides.
Ana nehu'na kuma'nifintira rama'a silvane golinena zogina eri atru nehu'na, ru kini vahe'mo'zama namiza fenonena rama'a ante'noe. Hagi zavenama nehe'za zagamema hu vahera, vene'nene a'nanenena rama'a zamavroge'za kumanifina emani'naze. Ana nehu'na nagra'a nazeri muse hanufi nehu'na henka a'nanea rama'a knare'nare a'nene eri'noe.
9 And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.
E'ina'ma nehu'na ko'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma kinima mani'za e'naza vahetmina zamagatere'na rama'a feno ante'noe. Ana hugeno knare antahi'zamo'a nagri'ene me'ne.
10 And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward.
Ina zanku'ma navesia zana amane e'neri'na, inanknahu musezama hunaku'ma huazana amane hu'noe. Ana nehu'na tusi muse hu'na eri'zana eneri'na, ana eri'zamofo nena'ama efore'ma hiazana ke'noe.
11 Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Hianagi maka zama hankaveniama atre'na erifore hua zantmima koana, ana zantamina agafa'a omane'ne. Amane zahoma avaririankna hu'noe. Mago knare zana ama mopafina kena eri amara osu'noe.
12 And I went again in search of wisdom and of foolish ways. What may the man do who comes after the king? The thing which he has done before.
Hanki knare antahi'zane neginagi antahi'zanema erinte'na refkoma hu'na koana, henkama efore hania kini ne'mo'a tro'ma osu'nesua zana, naza tro hugahie? Maka zama tro'ma haniana, nagra ko tro hu'noaza tro hugahie.
13 Then I saw that wisdom is better than foolish ways — as the light is better than the dark.
Nagrama nagesama antahuana, masamo'ma hanizama agatereankna huno, knare antahi'zamo'a neginagi antahi'zana agatere'ne.
14 The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a kama neviankana negeno nevianagi, neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a hanimpi nevie. Hagi mago zama keama'ma huana ana taregamokea magozahu hu'na'e.
15 Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.
E'inahu'za me'nege'na nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, neginagi vahetema fore'ma hania zamo'a, ana hukna za nagritera fore hugahie. E'ina hu'neanki knare antahi'zamo'a nankna knare'za erifore huramigahie. Knare antahi'zama eri'zamofona agafa'a omane'ne.
16 Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za neginagi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za frisage'za zamage akani zamantegahaze. Vahe'mo'zama maniza vanafina, ana tare kevufi vahekura zamage akanizmantegahaze. Ana hanigeno neginagi vahe'ma friaza huno knare antahintahine vahe'mo'ma fri'nige'za zamage akanintegahaze.
17 So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.
E'i zanku asimu'ma erino ama mopafima mani zankura tusi navesra nehie. Na'ankure mika zama hua zamo'a asunku zanke'za avreno eme nenamie. Tusi amuhoma huta maka zama hu'na zamo'a agafa'a omne'neanki, amne zaho'ma avaririankna nehune.
18 Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.
E'ina hu'negu maka zama ama mopafima amuho'ma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zankura, tusi'za huno navresra hie. Na'ankure ete ru vahe azampi maka zama amuho hu'na eri fore'ma hua zantamina atre'na vu'zanku navesra hie.
19 And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.
Hagi nagri noma erisia nera, knare antahi'zane nepi, neginagi antahi'zane nepi, nagra antahi'na ke'na osu'noe. Hianagi maka zama amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma hu'noa zantamina, ana vahe'mo kegava hugahie. Na'ankure ana zantamina knare antahi'zanteti erifore hu'noe. E'inahu zamo'enana agafa'a omne'ne.
20 So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.
E'ina hu'negu ama mopafima tusi amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zantaminkura antahintahia hu'na namentintia nosue.
21 Because there is a man whose work has been done with wisdom, with knowledge, and with an expert hand; but one who has done nothing for it will have it for his heritage. This again is to no purpose and a great evil.
Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare antahintahi zamireti'ene antahi'za zamireti'ene maka zantamina eri retro huntete'za, amuho hu'za erifore osu'naza vahetmimofo zamazampi ana zantamina nentaze. Ama ana zama kogeno'a agafa'a omnegeno rankefoza fore nehie.
22 What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?
E'ina hu'neanki mago'mo'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eria zampintira naza erifore nehie?
23 All his days are sorrow, and his work is full of grief. Even in the night his heart has no rest. This again is to no purpose.
Na'ankure maka kna eri'zama eruna zamo'a ata zane, asunku zanena avreno eme neramigeno, kenage'ene feru'enena antahintahi timo'a eri'zana eri vava nehie. E'ina hu'neankino maka zamo'a agafa'a omne'ne.
24 There is nothing better for a man than taking meat and drink, and having delight in his work. This again I saw was from the hand of God.
Amuhoma huno erifore'ma hia ne'zama neneno, tima neneno musenkasema hu'zamo'a mago'a zama hu'zana agatere'ne. E'i anama huno musema hu'zama ke'na antahi'nama huana, Anumzamofontegati ana zana ne-e.
25 Who may take food or have pleasure without him?
Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma azama osanigeno'a mago vahe'mo'a agra'a hankaverera ne'zana erifore huno neneno musena osugahie.
26 To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
Anumzamo'a agrama musema nehia zama nehaza vahera knare antahintahi zane, muse zanena nezmie. Hianagi kumi vahe'mo'zama feno vahe'ma nesazageno'a Anumzamo'a ana fenozmia erino agri'ma avesia avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe nezmie. E'i ana zamo'enena agafa'a omne'neankino amne zaho avaririaza nehie.
