Ecclesiastes 11
1 Send forth your bread upon the face of the water: for you shall find it after many days.
Dhiyo adhiya nyime gitimo timbe mabeyo, to bangʼe notimni ngʼwono.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil there shall be upon the earth.
Chiw achiwa mwanduni ni ji mangʼeny, nikech ikia gima kiny notimreni.
3 If the clouds be filled with rain, they pour [it] out upon the earth: and if a tree fall southward, or if it fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall be.
Ka polo odudo, to koth chue e piny. Kata ka yien olwar yo milambo kata yo nyandwat, kama olwarieno, kanyo ema iyude.
4 He that observes the wind sows not; and he that looks at the clouds will not reap.
Ngʼama osiko mana ka ngʼiyo kor polo ok nokom; to ngʼama rito mana ni mondo koth ochwe, ok noke.
5 Amongst whom none knows what is the way of the wind: as the bones [are hid] in the womb of a pregnant [woman], so you shall not know the works of God, [even] all things whatever he shall do.
Mana kaka ok inyal ngʼeyo kama yamo luwo, kata ngʼeyo kaka nyathi chakore ei min, omiyo ok inyal ngʼeyo gima Nyasaye ma jachwech gik moko duto timo.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening let not your hand be slack: for you know not what sort shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both shall be good alike.
Chwo kodhi mari gokinyi, to godhiambo kik iwe lweti bed maonge tich, nimar ok ingʼeyo kata gibiro twi, giduto maber.
7 Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
Ler ber kendo omiyo wangʼ neno maber.
8 For even if a man should live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
To kuom higni mangʼeny ma dhano nyalo dak, we mondo obed mamor kuom hignigo duto. Makmana wiye kik wil gi ndalo mag mudho nikech kosetho to ndalo mag mudho nobed mangʼeny moloyo. Gimoro amora mabiro bangʼe onge tiende.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart blameless, but not in the sight of your eyes: yet know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement.
Bed mamor, in wuowi matin, ka pod in rawera kendo tim gik moko duto ma chunyi dwaro. Tim gik moko duto ma chunyi gombo kendo wangʼi nyalo neno, to kata kamano nyaka ingʼe ni Nyasaye nongʼadni bura kuom gik moko duto mitimo.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh: for youth and folly are vanity.
Omiyo koro, gol gombo duto oko e chunyi kendo kik iwe gombo mag ringruok thagi, nikech bedo rawera maratego bende onge tiende.
