Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.
Karinganang fahsr lom nu in Tempul uh. Wo kom in som nu we in eis mwe lutlut, liki in orek kisa oana mwet lalfon su tia etu inmasrlon ma pwaye ac ma sutuu.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in the heavens, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
Nunkala in wo meet liki kom kaskas, ac nimet oru kutena wulela ingunyar nu sin God. El muta inkusrao ac kom muta fin faclu, ouinge nik kom fahk kas pus liki ma fal kom in fahk.
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business, and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.
Kom fin nunak yokla kom ac mweme koluk, ac kom fin kaskas pusla, kom ac ku in fahk kas lalfon.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Ke kom oru sie wulela nu sin God, aksaye in akfalye. El tia insewowo sin mwet lalfon uh. Oru ma kom wulela kac.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Wo kom in tiana orek wulela, liki na kom in orek wulela ac tia akfalye.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an inadvertence. Wherefore should God be wroth at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
Nimet lela kas lom uh in eiskomyang nu ke ma koluk, na kom fah tia enenu in som fahk nu sin mwet tol lun God lah kom tafongla. Efu kom ku oru God Elan kasrkusrak sum, ac kunausla ma kom orekma ac kemkatu kac?
7 For in the multitude of dreams are vanities; so with many words: but fear God.
Finne pukanten mweme lom, ac finne pukanten orekma lusrongten lom, ac finne pusla kaskas lom, kom ac enenu na in sunakin God ac akfulatyal.
8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter; for a higher than the high is watching, and there are higher than they.
Nimet lut ke kom liye ke mwet kol lun sie mutunfacl elos akkeokye mwet sukasrup ac sruokya nununku suwohs lukelos. Kais sie mwet kol liyeyukyang sin sie su fulat lukel, ac eltal kewa karinginyuk selos su fulat lukelos.
9 Moreover the earth is every way profitable: the king [himself] is dependent upon the field.
Fahko lun acn uh ma nu sin mwet nukewa. Sripa lun sie tokosra pa elan karingin nien ima uh.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase. This also is vanity.
Kom fin lungse mani, kom ac tia ku in muti; kom fin kena kasrup, ma kom ac eis ac fah tiana fal nu ke lungse lom. Ma inge wangin pac sripa.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what profit is there to the owner thereof, except the beholding [of them] with his eyes?
Mwe kasrup lom fin yokelik, na ac puseni pac mwet kom kite. Pwayena ma wo kom ac eis kac uh pa kom ac etu lah kom kasrup.
12 The sleep of the labourer is sweet, whether he have eaten little or much; but the fulness of the rich doth not suffer him to sleep.
Sie mwet orekma, finne fal ku sufal ma el kang, el ku in motulla wo. Tusruktu sie mwet kasrup, ke sripen puslana ma lal, el ac sensen ac koflana motulla.
13 There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt;
Pa inge sie lumah na koluk nga liye fin faclu: mwet uh ac karingin mani lalos nu ke sie pacl elos ac enenu,
14 or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
ac tok tuhlac nufon ke sie orekma koluk oakwuk kac, na saflaiya wangin ma lula in tutafla nu sin tulik natulos.
15 As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go away again as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Ke kut isusla nu faclu, wangin ma kut us, ac ke kut ac som liki faclu wangin pac ma kut ac us. Kut finne orekma upa, wangin ma kut ku in us wi kut.
16 And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came so doth he go away, and what profit hath he, in having laboured for the wind?
Tiana fal in ouinge! Kut ac som oana ke kut tuku. Kut orekma kemkatu, oana kut in srike sruokya eng uh, a mea kut eis kac?
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and hath much vexation, and sickness, and irritation.
Kut moulkin moul in lohsr, asor, fosrnga, kasrkusrak, ac mas.
18 Behold what I have seen good and comely: [it is] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour wherewith [man] laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for that is his portion.
Pa inge ma nga konauk uh: ma se wo emeet sie mwet in oru pa elan mongo ac nim ac engankin ma el orekma kac ke moul fototo lal ma God El sang nu sel. Pa inge oakwuk lun God nu sin mwet uh.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and power to eat thereof, and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labour: that is a gift of God.
God El fin sang mwe kasrup ac acn nu sin sie mwet tuh elan engankin, fal elan sang kulo kac ac engankin orekma lal. Ma inge mwe kite sin God me.
20 For he will not much remember the days of his life, because God answereth [him] with the joy of his heart.
Ke God El oru mwet sac elan engankin ma inge uh, el ac tia arulana nunku ke fototo moul lal uh.
