Ecclesiastes 11
1 Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt 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 thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Chiw achiwa mwanduni ni ji mangʼeny, nikech ikia gima kiny notimreni.
3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, 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 observeth the wind will not sow; and he that regardeth 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 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones [grow] in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all.
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 thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Chwo kodhi mari gokinyi, to godhiambo kik iwe lweti bed maonge tich, nimar ok ingʼeyo kata gibiro twi, giduto maber.
7 Now the light is sweet, and pleasant is it to the eyes to see the sun;
Ler ber kendo omiyo wangʼ neno maber.
8 but if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many: all that cometh 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, young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment.
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 Then remove discontent from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
Omiyo koro, gol gombo duto oko e chunyi kendo kik iwe gombo mag ringruok thagi, nikech bedo rawera maratego bende onge tiende.
