< Ecclesiastes 4 >

1 I turned myself to other things, and I saw the false accusations which are carried out under the sun, and the tears of the innocent, and that there was no one to console them; and that they were not able to withstand their violence, being destitute of all help.
Hagi mago zama koana, ama mopafina vahe'ma knama amino azeri havizama hu zamo'a mevava huno nevige'na ke'noe. Ana nehige'za vahe'mo'za zavira netazanagi, vahe'mo'za zamazeri amnea nosaze. Vahe'ma knama zamiza zamazeri havizama nehaza vahera hanave vaheki'za, hanavezmi omane vahera zamazeri haviza nehaze.
2 And so, I praised the dead more than the living.
E'ina hige'na fri'naza vahe'mo'za tasimu'ma erita mani'nona vahera tagatere'za musena nehaze hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
3 And happier than both of these, I judged him to be, who has not yet been born, and who has not yet seen the evils which are done under the sun.
Hianagi knare zantfama hu'neana, kaseozmantenage'za ama mopafima havi avu'avazama onke'naza vahe'mo'za knarera hu'naze.
4 Again, I was contemplating all the labors of men. And I took notice that their endeavors are open to the envy of their neighbor. And so, in this, too, there is emptiness and superfluous anxiety.
Hagi mago'zama koana, maka eri'zama vahe'mo'zama hankavezmima eri zamavuga atre'zama enerizana, tava'ozmire'ma nemaniza vahe'mokizmi zante kezmanunu nehu'za, anahu kna vahe asenaku amuhoa hu'za eri'zana e'nerize. Hianagi ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omaneza tro nehazankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehaze.
5 The foolish man folds his hands together, and he consumes his own flesh, saying:
Hagi neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana e'ori zamazana renamagiza mani'za zamo hige'za, zamagra zamagakura nehu'za fri'zana nehaze.
6 “A handful with rest is better than both hands filled with labors and with affliction of the soul.”
Hagi nagesama antahuana, osi'a fenoma anteno fruma huno mani'zamo'a, tusi amuho huno rama'a fenoma eritru hu'zana agaterene. Na'ankure rama'a zama eri atruhu antahintahireti'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eri zamo'a, agafa'a omneno zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.
7 While considering this, I also discovered another vanity under the sun.
Hagi mago'ma agafa'a omane zama ama mopafima ke'noana ama'nahu knaza ke'noe.
8 He is one, and he does not have a second: no son, no brother. And yet he does not cease to labor, nor are his eyes satisfied with wealth, nor does he reflect, saying: “For whom do I labor and cheat my soul of good things?” In this, too, is emptiness and a most burdensome affliction.
Mago ne'ma afu agna'ma omanigeno, mofavre onte'neanagi, tusi amuho huno eri'zana erino fenona eritru nehianagi, ana zamo'a knarera hunonte. Hianagi amanahu agenoka agra'a antahinonke, Izanku hu'na ama eri'zana e'nerue? Na'a hige'na maraguzati'na erizantera nehu'na musena hu'na nomanue huno nehie. Ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omne zamo kna nemie.
9 Therefore, it is better for two to be together, than for one to be alone. For they have the advantage of their companionship.
Tare vahe'mokema eri'zama eri'zamo magoke vahe'mo'ma eri'zama eri'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure taremokea oza aza huke eri'zana erigaha'ankino, knare hugaha'e.
10 If one falls, he shall be supported by the other. Woe to one who is alone. For when he falls, he has no one to lift him up.
Hagi mago'mo'ma traka'ma hanigeno'a, magomo'a azeri otigahie. Hianagi trakama hanigenoma azahu vahe'ma omani'nimofona kasunku hunto.
11 And if two are sleeping, they warm one another. How can one person alone be warmed?
Anahu kna huno, taremokema magopima masena'ana amuho huke masegaha'e. Hianagi magokemo'ma agraku'ma masesiana inankna huno amuhoa hugahie?
12 And if a man can prevail against one, two may withstand him, and a threefold cord is broken with difficulty.
Magoke vahera ahe'za azeri haviza hugahazanagi, tare vahe'mokea hara huke ohevari ahevri (oza aza) hugaha'e. Hagi 3'a nofima magokepima erinteno zagi'nenia nofira ame hunora eri akamprura osugahie.
13 Better is a boy, poor and wise, than a king, old and foolish, who does not know to look ahead for the sake of posterity.
Amunte omane kasefa vahe'ma mani'neno, knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'zamo'a, ozafa kini ne' mani'neno avumro'ma ante ke'ma eri atre'zana agatere'ne.
14 For sometimes, one goes forth from prison and chains, to a kingdom, while another, born to kingly power, is consumed by need.
Ana kasefa ne'mo'a amunte omne nagapinti fore hu'nenianagi, amne feno vahera fore hugahie. Ana nehuno kina nompintira amane kinia efore hugahie.
15 I saw all the living who are walking under the sun, and I saw the next generation, who shall rise up in their places.
Ana'ma hige'na kogeno ana maka vahe'mo'a ana (nehaza) kasefa kini ne'mofo amage'nentaze.
16 The number of people, out of all who existed before these, is boundless. And those who will exist afterwards shall not rejoice in them. But this, too, is emptiness and an affliction of the spirit.
Ohampriga'a vahe krerfamo'za kasefa kini ne'mofo kaziga mani'naze. Hianagi henkama fore hu'za esnaza, kasefa kini nekura musena huontegahaze. Ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omneneankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.
