Ecclesiastes 1
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king of Israel in Jerusalem.
Rempi humi ne' Deviti nemofo Jerusalemi kumate kini ne' Solomoni naneke.
2 Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Rempi humi ne'mo'a huno, Mika zamofona agafa'a omaneno! Agafa'a omanegeno, ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omnetfa hu'ne.
3 What advantage [is there] to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun?
Vahe'mo'za tusi amuho hu'za ama mopafina eri'zana e'nerizanagi, ana eri'zampintira na'a erifore hugahaze?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes: but the earth stands for ever.
Vahera efore huno frino nevanigeno, ru vahera ete efore huno frino nevianagi, ama mopamo'a mevava huno ne-e.
5 And the sun arises, and the sun goes down and draws towards its place;
Maka nanterana zagemo'a hanatiteno evuno kinagama segeno'a ufreteno, ete agareno anama hanati'nere enevie.
6 arising there it proceeds southward, and goes round towards the north. The wind goes round and round, and the wind returns to its circuits.
Hagi zaho'ma eriana sauti kazigati erino vuno ome arugagino, ete noti kaziga vuno ome arugagino, zahora erino kagigagi nehie.
7 All the rivers run into the sea; and yet the sea is not filled: to the place whence the rivers come, there they return again.
Hagi maka timo'za kampui hanatite'za vu'za hagerimpinke unefrazanagi, hagerimo'a avira note. Hagi ana timo'za hagerimpima vute'za, ete anama hanati'nazareti eme aru hanati'za ete hagerimpina nevaze.
8 All things are full of labour; a man will not be able to speak [of them]: neither shall the eye be satisfied with seeing, neither shall the ear be filled with hearing.
Maka ama mopafi zantaminku'ma antahintahima hu'zamo'a, tusiza huno tavesra nehiankita hu amara hugara nosune. Tavumo'a rama'a zantmi negeanagi, mago'ane ke'nia agesage nehie. Anahukna huno tagesamo'a rama'a keaga nentahianagi, mago'ane antahinia agesage nehie.
9 What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Hakare zama menima fore'ma nehia zana, korapa fore hu'nea zamo fore nehie. E'ina hu'neankino ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantamina magora kasefa zana forera nosianki, korapa fore hu'nea zantmi fore nehie.
10 [Who is he] that shall speak and say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have passed before us.
Mago'mo'a huno amazana kasefaza fore nehianki keho huno osugahie. Na'ankure mika'zana korapa fore osu'nonkeno fore hu'neaza ete fore nehie.
11 There is no memorial to the first things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be with them that shall at the last [time].
Korapama fore'ma hu'nea zantaminkura antahintahia osu zamagenekanize. Hanki henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za menima nehu'na zantaminkura zamage akanigahaze.
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Nagra Rempi huzmi ne'mo'na Jerusalemi kumate mani'ne'na, Israeli vahe kinia mani'na kegava huzmante'noe.
13 And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith.
Ama mopafima me'nege'zama maka zama nehaza zana, nagra knare antahi'zanteti, refako hu'na ke'na antahi'nama huana Anumzamo'a tusi knaza vahe'mofona kofintegeno, knazana e'nerize.
14 I saw all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, saw, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit.
Mika zana ama mopafima nehaza zama koana, agafa'a omane'za nehazanki'za, zaho'ma avararizankna nehaze.
15 That which is crooked can’t be made straight: and deficiency can’t be numbered.
Kazakinesia zana azeri fatgo osugahane. Hagi omne'nenia zana ohamprigahane.
16 I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.
Nagra'agura amanage hu'na hu'noe, mika Jerusalemi kumate'ma efore'ma hu'za kinima mani'ne'za vahe'ma kegavama huzmante'naza, kini vahetmina zamagatere'na nagra knare antahi'zana eri'noe. Kote'ma mani'zama e'naza kini vahetmina zamagatere'na, rama'a knare antahi'zane, antahintahizanena eri'noe.
17 And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.
Ana hute'na ete knare antahi'zane neginagi antahi'zane erinte'na refko hu'na ke'noanagi, e'i ana zampinti'ma ke'na eri fore'ma huana, e'i ana zamo'enena zaho'ma arotagoma hiankna hu'ne.
18 For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow.
Na'ankure rama'a knare antahintahima eri zamo'a rama'a kasu zampi manigahane, mago'anema rama'a antahintahi zama eri'zamo'a anahukna hunka mago'ane mareri agatere kasunku zampi manigahane.
