< Ecclesiastes 12 >

1 Remember your Creator while you are young, before days of trouble come and you grow old, saying, “I'm not enjoying life anymore.”
Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzanka'amofona antahineminka monora hunto. Hagi henkama havi knafima ufresunka nagra mani'zanigura musena osue hunka hugahane.
2 Before the light fades—sun, moon, and stars—and rain clouds return to darken the skies.
Zagene ikane, hanafi'mofo masamo'ma kavurgare'ma rehanintirima nosnigeno, ko'ma nerigeno'ma negia hampomo'ma rehanintirima osu'nesire Anumzamofona antahimio.
3 Before the guards of the house tremble and the strong men are bent over, the grinders stop working because there are only a few left, and the ones looking through the windows only see dimly,
Hagi ana knafina tamazamo'a hanavemo'a omanena tamahirahi nerenkeno, osi'a tamave nemenkeno, tamavua asu hugahie.
4 and the doors to the street are shut. Before the sound of the grinding mill grows low, and you wake up early when the birds are singing, but you can hardly hear them.
Kagesamo'ma ankani orenesigenka eri'zama enerisaza agasasama nentahisante Anumzamofona antahimio. Hagi menina ese nama ageru arigenka onetine. Hianagi ana maka namaramimofo agerumo'a agerura rume vuno ome osi huno taganegahie.
5 Before you develop a fear of heights and worry about going out on the streets; when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper crawls along, and desire fails, for everyone has to go to their eternal home as the mourners go up and down the street.
Agonaregama mareri zanku'ma koroma osuge, ra'naregama uramizanku'ma koro'ma osuge, almoni zafa amosre gna huno kazokamo efeke osuge, fri'zama nehia kenumo'ma hagagi hagagi'ma nehiaza osuge, vea zama hu kavesi'zamo'ma evuoramige'ma hu'nenire Anumzamofona antahimio. Mani vava kuma mati'matitegama vurava'o osuge, vogisifama omase'nenankeno vahe'mo'ma zavima ote'nenire Anumzanka'amofona antahimio.
6 Before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is broken; before the water jug is smashed at the spring, or the pulley is broken at the well.
Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante Anumzanka'amofona antahimio. Hagi silva nofimo akampru osunenigeno, golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kavomo'ma takoma osu'nenire tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzamofona antahimio. Avega ante'negeno tinkavomo'a takora huge, kavore'ma rente'nea nofi'ma avreno tinkerifima uneramia nofimo'a havizana osino.
7 Then the dust returns to the earth from which it came, and the breath of life returns to God who gave it.
Ana'ma hanigeno'a kugusopamo'a eteno moparega vinkeno, tami'nea netega avamutimo'a Anumzamofontega ete vugahie.
8 “Everything passes! It's all so hard to understand!” says the Teacher.
Mika zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne huno rempi humi' ne'mo'a hu'ne. Tamage huno ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne.
9 Not only was the Teacher a wise man, he also taught what he knew to others. He thought about many proverbs, studying them and arranging them.
Rempi humi ne'mo'a knare antahi'zana nagrike suzane huno osu'neanki, maka zama antahino keno'ma hu'nea zana vahetmina rempi huzmi'ne. Vahe'mofo knare antahi'zana antahino keno hu so'e huteno, isa'are erinte fatgo hutere huno krente'ne.
10 The Teacher looked for the best way to explain things, writing truthfully and honestly.
Hagi rempi humi ne'mo'a haganentake nanekema huama'ma hunakura hakeno keno erifore huteno, ana antahi'zana knare huno tamage nanekea eriama huno krente'ne.
11 The words of the wise are like cattle prods. Their collected sayings are like nails driven home, given by one shepherd.
Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekemo'a, sipisipi afu azeri fatgo nehia agona azotagna hu'ne. Hagi knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekema eri atruma hu'zamo'a, rama'a nirireti zafa ahentroko higeno hankavetino meankna hugahie.
12 In addition, my student, take care, for there's no end to book writing, and too much study wears you out.
Hianagi mofavrenimoka mago'ene kavumro nanekea kasamigahue, rama'a avontafe'ma kre zankura kva huo. Na'ankure avontafe'ma kre'zamo'a atumpa'a omnegeno, avontafe'ma hamprino antahi'zama erizamo'a kazeri kavresra hugahie.
13 To sum up now that everything has been discussed: Respect God by keeping his commandments, for that's what everyone should do.
Hago ana maka nanekea huvagaroe. Hagi amanage hu'na vagare nanekea hugahue, Anumzamofonku korora huntenka agoraga'a nemaninka kasege'a avaririo, na'ankure e'i ana maka vahe'mo'ma amage antesia ke me'ne.
14 God is going to judge us for everything we do, including what we do secretly, whether good or bad.
Hagi maka zantmima oku'a nehuna zane, knare tavutva nehuna zane, havi tavutva nehuna zantera Anumzamo'a keaga huranteno refko hugahie.
