< Ecclesiastes 9 >

1 For all this I laid to my heart and [indeed] to investigate all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; man knoweth neither love nor hatred: all is before them.
Ana hige'na ama ana maka zama rezaganena koana, fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'mo'ene knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'enema, maka zama neha'a zamo'a Anumzamofo azampi me'ne. E'ina hu'neankino mago vahe'ma avesintege avesra huntege'ma hu'zana vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osu'ne.
2 All things [come] alike to all: one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Maka fatgo avu'ava'ene vahero, kefo avu'ava'ene vahero, knare vahero, havi vahero, agruhu vahero, agru osu vahero, mono vahero, mono ontahi vahera, ana maka vahe'mo'a mago'zahu kanteke vugahie. Hagi Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama nehaza vahete'ene Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama huzankuma koroma nehaza vahete'enena mago zahu zanke fore hugahie.
3 This is an evil among all that is done under the sun, that one thing befalleth all: yea, also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, [they have to go] to the dead.
Ana maka vahe'motare'ma mago zahu'zama fore'ma nehia zamo'a knarera nosie. E'ina hu'negu vahe'mo'za zamagra'a kegava hu'neza knare avu'avara nosazanki'za zamagra'a zamavesi'zamofo amage'nente'za, ome havizana nehaze. Hagi ana amefira mago'zana omane'neanki, fri'za nevaze.
4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Hianagi kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahe'mokizmia amuha zazmia me'ne. Na'ankure zamagra amanage hu'za nehaze, kasefa huno mani'nea kramo'a fri'nea laionia agatere'ne hu'za nehaze.
5 For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.
Hagi kasefa'ma huta mani'nona vahe'mota, frigahune huta antahi'none. Hianagi fri'naza vahe'mo'za magozankura zamagesa ontahige, mago zamofo antahintahimo'a antahintahi zamifina nomanege'za, vahe'mo'zanena antahi nozamize.
6 Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy is already perished; neither have they any more for ever a portion in all that is done under the sun.
Ana vahe'ma fri'zageno'a vahe'ma zamavesi nezmante'za, zamavaresrama hunezmante'za, kezmanunuma nehaza antahintahi zamo'enena ana maka fanene nehie. Ana hu'neankiza ete ru'enena ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantamina nege'za, antahintahia osugahaze.
7 Go, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works.
E'ina hu'negu muse nehunka vunka nezanka'a ome nenenka, waini tinka'a ome no, na'ankure Anumzamo'a ko e'inahuzana hugahane huno hu izo hugante'ne.
8 Let thy garments be always white, and let not thy head lack oil.
Maka zupa knare'nare kukena nehunka, masavena kanuntera fre vava huo.
9 Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherein thou art labouring under the sun.
Ama mopafima agafa'a omne knama maninka vanana kna'afina, Anumzamo'ma kamigenka avesima nentana a'ka'anena muse hunka manio. Na'ankure ama mopafima amuhoma hunka maninka vanana zamofo mizama'a kami'ne.
10 Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest. (Sheol h7585)
Inanknahu eri'zama ama mopafima erisanana maka hankaveka'reti hunka erio. Na'ankure frinka matitega vananana eri'zana ome e'orige, eri'za antahintahia ome retro huge, antahi'zana erige knare antahi'zanena erigera osugahie. (Sheol h7585)
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the intelligent, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Hagi ete mago zama ama mopafima koana, tusi zama huno agama nerea vahe'mo'a agare zokago'ma reana, vahera zamagaterekera nosigeno, hankave ha' vahe'mo'za hara huzmagateregara nosaze. Anahukna huno knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a agakura nehigeno, maka zama knare huno tro'ma nehia vahe'mo'a feno vahera nomanigeno, knare huno avonoma huno antahi'zama eria vahe'mofo nomani' zama'amo'a knarera nosie. Hianagi knare kankamunte'ma ruhiza'ma huterema nehaza vahe'mo'za knarera nehaze.
12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Na'ankure mago vahe'mo'a knazama avate'ma esiankna antahino keno osu'neankino, kukomo nozame azerigeno antri nehiaza huge, krifumo nama azerigeno antri nehiankna huno hazenke zamo'a vahetera ame huno ne-e.
13 This also have I seen as wisdom under the sun, and it was great unto me.
Hagi ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantmima negogeno'ma, mago knare antahintahima nenamino nazeri musema hiana ama'ne,
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and encompassed it, and built great bulwarks against it:
mago osi kumapina osi'a vahe mani'nazageno, hihamu'ane kini ne'mo'a sondia vahe'ane eno kuma keginamofo tavaonte mopa kateno ante hihi huno marerino hara huzmante'za hu'ne.
15 and there was found in it a poor wise man, who by his wisdom delivered the city; but no man remembered that poor man.
Hagi ana kumapina mago amunte omne ne' nemania ne'mo'a, knare antahizama'areti ana kumara agu'vazi'ne. Hianagi mago vahe'mo'e huno ana'ma hu'nea zankura antahi omi'naze.
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
Ana higeno knare antahi'zamo'a hankavea agatere'neanagi, amunte omane ne'mofo knare antahizankura vahe'mo'za antahimi'za zazatera novaze.
17 The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Knare antahi'zane ne'mo'ma akoheno'ma hania ke'ma antahi'zamo'a, neginagi kini ne'mo'ma ranke'ma huno kema nehigeno'ma antahi'zana agatere'ne.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Knare antahi zama eri'zamo ha'zama ante zana agatere'ne. Hianagi kumike ne'mo'a rama'a knare'zantamina eri haviza hugahie.
