Ecclesiastes 2
1 So then I thought to myself, “Alright, let me examine pleasure and see how good that is.” But this too turned out to be something temporary that passes.
Nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, Menina muse zampima knare zama me'nesigura refko hu'na kesue hu'noe. Hianagi ana muse zampima koana agafa'a omne'ne.
2 I conclude that laughing your way through life is stupid, and pleasure—what use is that?
Hagi musema nehuno kiza zokagoma hu'zana agafa'a omne avu'ava zankino, mago knare zana eri forera osugahie hu'na hu'noe.
3 Then I used my mind to examine the attraction of wine to my body. My mind still guiding me with wisdom, I took it until I acted like a fool, so that I might see whether this was good for people to do during their time here.
Ama mopafima vahe'mo'zama osi'a knafima mani'neza musema nehazaza ke'nue hute'na, waini tina nene'na musena nehu'na, neginagi avu'ava zana hu'noe.
4 Then I tried great construction projects. I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself.
Hanki ra eri'za eri'na tusinasi nontami kinente'na rama'a waini hozaramina nentena,
5 I made for myself gardens and parks, planting them with all kinds of fruit trees.
rama'a hoza nente'na, agona agona ruzahu ruzahu zafa ragama renentea zafaramina rama'a kri'noe.
6 I constructed for myself reservoirs to water all these growing trees.
Ana nehu'na tintamina ahentragi'na ana tirupinti tina afina zafa hoza tina ami'noe.
7 I bought male and female slaves, and their children also belonged to me. I also owned many herds and flocks, more than anyone in Jerusalem before me.
Kazokzo eri'za vene'nene a'nanenena mizasena zamavroge'za nonifina mani'ne'za mofavreramina kase hakare hu'naze. Hagi ko'ma mago'a kini vahe'ma Jerusalemima kinima mani'naza vahera, zamagatere'na rama'a sipisipi afutamine meme afutaminena ante'noe.
8 I collected for myself great quantities of silver and gold, paid to me as tribute by kings and provinces. I brought in for myself male and female singers, and enjoyed many concubines—all a man could want!
Ana nehu'na kuma'nifintira rama'a silvane golinena zogina eri atru nehu'na, ru kini vahe'mo'zama namiza fenonena rama'a ante'noe. Hagi zavenama nehe'za zagamema hu vahera, vene'nene a'nanenena rama'a zamavroge'za kumanifina emani'naze. Ana nehu'na nagra'a nazeri muse hanufi nehu'na henka a'nanea rama'a knare'nare a'nene eri'noe.
9 I became great—greater than anyone in Jerusalem before me. All the while my wisdom stayed with me.
E'ina'ma nehu'na ko'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma kinima mani'za e'naza vahetmina zamagatere'na rama'a feno ante'noe. Ana hugeno knare antahi'zamo'a nagri'ene me'ne.
10 I didn't stop myself trying anything I wanted. Whatever I felt like enjoying, I did. I even enjoyed everything I had accomplished, a reward for all my work.
Ina zanku'ma navesia zana amane e'neri'na, inanknahu musezama hunaku'ma huazana amane hu'noe. Ana nehu'na tusi muse hu'na eri'zana eneri'na, ana eri'zamofo nena'ama efore'ma hiazana ke'noe.
11 But when I thought about what I had worked so hard to achieve, everything I'd done, it was so short-lived—as significant as someone trying to catch the wind. There really is no enduring benefit here on earth.
Hianagi maka zama hankaveniama atre'na erifore hua zantmima koana, ana zantamina agafa'a omane'ne. Amane zahoma avaririankna hu'noe. Mago knare zana ama mopafina kena eri amara osu'noe.
12 So I started to think about wisdom—and madness and foolishness. For what can anyone who comes after the king do that hasn't already been done?
Hanki knare antahi'zane neginagi antahi'zanema erinte'na refkoma hu'na koana, henkama efore hania kini ne'mo'a tro'ma osu'nesua zana, naza tro hugahie? Maka zama tro'ma haniana, nagra ko tro hu'noaza tro hugahie.
13 I recognized that wisdom is better than foolishness just as light is better than darkness.
Nagrama nagesama antahuana, masamo'ma hanizama agatereankna huno, knare antahi'zamo'a neginagi antahi'zana agatere'ne.
14 The wise see where they're going, but fools walk in darkness. But I also realized that they all come to the same end.
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a kama neviankana negeno nevianagi, neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a hanimpi nevie. Hagi mago zama keama'ma huana ana taregamokea magozahu hu'na'e.
15 Then I thought to myself, “If I'm going to end up the same as a fool, what's the point of being so wise?” So I thought to myself, “This is also hard to understand!”
E'inahu'za me'nege'na nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, neginagi vahetema fore'ma hania zamo'a, ana hukna za nagritera fore hugahie. E'ina hu'neanki knare antahi'zamo'a nankna knare'za erifore huramigahie. Knare antahi'zama eri'zamofona agafa'a omane'ne.
16 Nobody remembers the wise or the fool for very long—in the future everything will be forgotten. Whether wise or foolish, they both die.
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za neginagi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za frisage'za zamage akani zamantegahaze. Vahe'mo'zama maniza vanafina, ana tare kevufi vahekura zamage akanizmantegahaze. Ana hanigeno neginagi vahe'ma friaza huno knare antahintahine vahe'mo'ma fri'nige'za zamage akanintegahaze.
17 So I ended up feeling disgusted with life because everything that happens here on earth is so distressing. It's so incomprehensible, like trying to control the wind.
E'i zanku asimu'ma erino ama mopafima mani zankura tusi navesra nehie. Na'ankure mika zama hua zamo'a asunku zanke'za avreno eme nenamie. Tusi amuhoma huta maka zama hu'na zamo'a agafa'a omne'neanki, amne zaho'ma avaririankna nehune.
18 I even ended up hating what I had achieved here on earth because I have to hand it over to whoever comes after me.
E'ina hu'negu maka zama ama mopafima amuho'ma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zankura, tusi'za huno navresra hie. Na'ankure ete ru vahe azampi maka zama amuho hu'na eri fore'ma hua zantamina atre'na vu'zanku navesra hie.
19 And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will rule over everything I accomplished through my wisdom here on earth. This is just so frustrating, so hard to understand!
Hagi nagri noma erisia nera, knare antahi'zane nepi, neginagi antahi'zane nepi, nagra antahi'na ke'na osu'noe. Hianagi maka zama amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma hu'noa zantamina, ana vahe'mo kegava hugahie. Na'ankure ana zantamina knare antahi'zanteti erifore hu'noe. E'inahu zamo'enana agafa'a omne'ne.
20 I decided to give up, my mind in despair over the significance of all my life's achievements.
E'ina hu'negu ama mopafima tusi amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zantaminkura antahintahia hu'na namentintia nosue.
21 For you can work wisely, knowledgably, and with skill—and who benefits? Someone who hasn't worked for it! This is both frustrating and totally unjust!
Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare antahintahi zamireti'ene antahi'za zamireti'ene maka zantamina eri retro huntete'za, amuho hu'za erifore osu'naza vahetmimofo zamazampi ana zantamina nentaze. Ama ana zama kogeno'a agafa'a omnegeno rankefoza fore nehie.
22 What do you get here on earth for all your hard work and worry?
E'ina hu'neanki mago'mo'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eria zampintira naza erifore nehie?
23 Your working life is full of trouble and strife—even at night your thoughts keep you awake. This is tough to comprehend!
Na'ankure maka kna eri'zama eruna zamo'a ata zane, asunku zanena avreno eme neramigeno, kenage'ene feru'enena antahintahi timo'a eri'zana eri vava nehie. E'ina hu'neankino maka zamo'a agafa'a omne'ne.
24 So what's the best thing to do? Eat, drink, and enjoy your work, recognizing as I did that these things are given to us by God,
Amuhoma huno erifore'ma hia ne'zama neneno, tima neneno musenkasema hu'zamo'a mago'a zama hu'zana agatere'ne. E'i anama huno musema hu'zama ke'na antahi'nama huana, Anumzamofontegati ana zana ne-e.
25 for who can eat or enjoy life apart from him?
Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma azama osanigeno'a mago vahe'mo'a agra'a hankaverera ne'zana erifore huno neneno musena osugahie.
26 To those who are good, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy. But to the sinner God gives the task of gathering and collecting wealth, only to hand it over to someone who pleases God. This also shows how fleeting life is, and hard to understand—like trying to understand how the wind blows.
Anumzamo'a agrama musema nehia zama nehaza vahera knare antahintahi zane, muse zanena nezmie. Hianagi kumi vahe'mo'zama feno vahe'ma nesazageno'a Anumzamo'a ana fenozmia erino agri'ma avesia avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe nezmie. E'i ana zamo'enena agafa'a omne'neankino amne zaho avaririaza nehie.
