Ecclesiastes 11
1 Cast thy bread upon the running waters: for after a long time thou shalt find it again.
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, they will pour out rain upon the earth. If the tree fall to the south, or to the north, in what place soever it shall fall, there shall it 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, shall not sow: and he that considereth the clouds, shall never 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, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of 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 let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better.
Chwo kodhi mari gokinyi, to godhiambo kik iwe lweti bed maonge tich, nimar ok ingʼeyo kata gibiro twi, giduto maber.
7 The light is sweet, and it is delightful for the eyes to see the sun.
Ler ber kendo omiyo wangʼ neno maber.
8 If a man live many years, and have rejoiced in them all, he must remember the darksome time, and the many days: which when they shall come, the things past shall be accused of 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 therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these 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 Remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh. For youth and pleasure are vain.
Omiyo koro, gol gombo duto oko e chunyi kendo kik iwe gombo mag ringruok thagi, nikech bedo rawera maratego bende onge tiende.
