Ecclesiastes 8
1 The wisdom of a man shineth in his countenance, and the most mighty will change his face.
Ania ti nasirib a tao? Maysa a tao daytoy a makaammo ti kaipapanan dagiti paspasamak iti biag. Parparaniagen ti kinasirib ti tao ti rupana ken mabaliwan ti kinaunget ti rupana.
2 I observe the mouth of the king, and the commandments of the oath of God.
Ballaaganka nga agtungpal kadagiti bilin ti ari gapu iti sapata ti Dios a salaknibanna isuna.
3 Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him:
Saanka nga agdardaras a pumanaw iti presensiana, ken saanka a tumakder a dumanggay iti maysa a banag a dakes, ta ar-aramiden ti ari ti aniaman a tartarigagayanna.
4 And his word is full of power: neither can any man say to him: Why dost thou so?
Agturturay ti sao ti ari, isu a siasino ti mangibaga kenkuana, “Ania ti ar-aramidem?
5 He that keepeth the commandments shall find no evil. The heart of a wise man understandeth time and answer.
Siasinoman a mangsalsalimetmet kadagiti bilbilin ti ari ket liklikanna iti pannakadangran. Mabigbig ti puso ti nasirib a tao ti umiso a pagturongan ken tiempo ti panangaramid.
6 There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man:
Ta adda ti umno a sungbat iti tunggal pasamak ken adda umno a tiempo ti panagsungbat, gapu ta adu ti pakariribukan ti tao.
7 Because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot know by any messenger.
Awan ti makaammo no ania ti sumaruno a dumteng. Siasino ti makaibaga no ania ti dumteng?
8 It is not in man’s power to stop the spirit, neither hath he power in the day of death, neither is he suffered to rest when war is at hand, neither shall wickedness save the wicked.
Awan siasinoman nga addaan ti turay iti anges ti biag a mangpasardeng iti panagang-anges, ken awan iti makaituray iti aldaw ti pannakatayna. Awan ti maikkat manipud iti armada kabayatan ti pannakiranget, ken saan nga ispalen ti kinadangkes dagiti tagabuna.
9 All these things I have considered, and applied my heart to all the works that are done under the sun. Sometimes one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
Naamirisko amin dagitoy; inusarko ti pusok iti amin a kita ti trabaho a maar-aramid iti baba ti init. Adda iti tiempo a ti tao ket addaan iti pannakabalin nga agaramid iti kinadakes kadagiti dadduma.
10 I saw the wicked buried: who also when they were yet living were in the holy place, and were praised in the city as men of just works: but this also is vanity.
Isu a nakitak ti nadangkes a silalatak a naitanem. Naiyapanda iti nasantoan a disso ken naitabon ken indaydayaw ida dagiti tattao iti siudad a nangaramidanda kadagiti kinadakes. Awan met laeng serserbina daytoy.
11 For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear.
No saan a maaramid a dagus ti dusa maibusor iti dakes a krimen, aw-awisenna dagiti puso dagiti tattao nga agaramid iti kinadakes.
12 But though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and by patience be borne withal, I know from thence that it shall be well with them that fear God, who dread his face.
Uray no agaramid iti dakes ti managbasol iti maminggasut a daras ket agbiag latta isuna iti atiddug a tiempo, ngem ammok a nasayaatto ti mapasamak kadagiti mangraraem iti Dios, dagiti mangidaydayaw iti presensiana kadakuada.
13 But let it not be well with the wicked, neither let his days be prolonged, but as a shadow let them pass away that fear not the face of the Lord.
Ngem saanto a nasayaat ti mapasamak iti nadangkes a tao; saanto a mapaatiddug ti biagna. Kasla aglablabas nga aniniwan dagiti aldawna gapu ta saanna nga idaydayaw ti Dios.
14 There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure, as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain.
Adda pay ti kasla awan serserbina nga alingasaw—maysa pay a banag a maar-aramid iti rabaw ti daga. Mapaspasamak dagiti banbanag kadagiti nalinteg a tattao a kas mapaspasamak kadagiti nadangkes a tattao ken mapaspasamak dagiti banbanag kadagiti nadangkes a tattao a kas mapaspasamak dagitoy kadagiti nalinteg a tattao. Ibagak a daytoy ket awan met laeng serserbina nga alingasaw.
15 Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.
Isu nga isingasingko ti kinaragsak, gapu ta awan ti nasaysayaat a banag para iti tao iti baba ti init ngem ti mangan ken uminom ken agragsak. Ti kinaragsak ti mangkuyog kenkuana iti trabahona iti amin nga al-aldaw ti biagna nga inted ti Dios kenkuana iti baba ti init.
16 And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to understand the distraction that is upon earth: for there are some that day and night take no sleep with their eyes.
Idi inusarko ti pusok a mangammo iti kinasirib ken tapno maawatak dagiti trabaho a maar-aramid iti rabaw ti daga, masansan a maar-aramid ti trabaho nga awan ti turog iti rabii ken iti aldaw,
17 And I understood that man can find no reason of all those works of God that are done under the sun: and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it.
kalpasanna pinanunotko dagiti amin nga aramid ti Dios, ken saan a maawatan dayta a tao ti trabaho a maar-aramid iti baba ti init. Uray no kasano ti panagbannog ti tao a mangbiruk kadagiti sungbat, saanna a masarakan dagitoy. Uray no patien ti masirib a tao a nalabit nga ammona, saanna a pudno nga ammo.
