Ecclesiastes 4
1 Then I turned to consider all the ways people oppress others here on earth. Look at the tears of the oppressed—there's no one to comfort them! Powerful people oppress them, and there's no one to comfort them!
Hagi mago zama koana, ama mopafina vahe'ma knama amino azeri havizama hu zamo'a mevava huno nevige'na ke'noe. Ana nehige'za vahe'mo'za zavira netazanagi, vahe'mo'za zamazeri amnea nosaze. Vahe'ma knama zamiza zamazeri havizama nehaza vahera hanave vaheki'za, hanavezmi omane vahera zamazeri haviza nehaze.
2 I congratulated those who were already dead, for the dead are better off than those who are still alive and being oppressed.
E'ina hige'na fri'naza vahe'mo'za tasimu'ma erita mani'nona vahera tagatere'za musena nehaze hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
3 But best of all are those who have never existed—they haven't seen the evil things people do to each other here on earth.
Hianagi knare zantfama hu'neana, kaseozmantenage'za ama mopafima havi avu'avazama onke'naza vahe'mo'za knarera hu'naze.
4 I observed that every skill in work comes from competition with others. Once again this is hard to understand, like trying to hold on to the elusive wind.
Hagi mago'zama koana, maka eri'zama vahe'mo'zama hankavezmima eri zamavuga atre'zama enerizana, tava'ozmire'ma nemaniza vahe'mokizmi zante kezmanunu nehu'za, anahu kna vahe asenaku amuhoa hu'za eri'zana e'nerize. Hianagi ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omaneza tro nehazankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehaze.
5 Fools fold their arms and do nothing—so in the end they're all used up.
Hagi neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana e'ori zamazana renamagiza mani'za zamo hige'za, zamagra zamagakura nehu'za fri'zana nehaze.
6 It's better to earn a little without stress than a lot with too much stress and chasing after the wind.
Hagi nagesama antahuana, osi'a fenoma anteno fruma huno mani'zamo'a, tusi amuho huno rama'a fenoma eritru hu'zana agaterene. Na'ankure rama'a zama eri atruhu antahintahireti'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eri zamo'a, agafa'a omneno zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.
7 Then I turned to consider something else here on earth that is also frustratingly hard to understand.
Hagi mago'ma agafa'a omane zama ama mopafima ke'noana ama'nahu knaza ke'noe.
8 What about someone who has no family to help him, no brother or son, who works all the time, but isn't satisfied with the money he makes. “Who am I working for?” he asks himself. “Why am I preventing myself from enjoying life?” Such a situation is hard to explain—it's an evil business!
Mago ne'ma afu agna'ma omanigeno, mofavre onte'neanagi, tusi amuho huno eri'zana erino fenona eritru nehianagi, ana zamo'a knarera hunonte. Hianagi amanahu agenoka agra'a antahinonke, Izanku hu'na ama eri'zana e'nerue? Na'a hige'na maraguzati'na erizantera nehu'na musena hu'na nomanue huno nehie. Ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omne zamo kna nemie.
9 Two are better than one, for they can help each other in their work.
Tare vahe'mokema eri'zama eri'zamo magoke vahe'mo'ma eri'zama eri'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure taremokea oza aza huke eri'zana erigaha'ankino, knare hugaha'e.
10 If one of them falls down, the other can help them up, but how sad it is for someone who falls down and doesn't have anyone to help them up.
Hagi mago'mo'ma traka'ma hanigeno'a, magomo'a azeri otigahie. Hianagi trakama hanigenoma azahu vahe'ma omani'nimofona kasunku hunto.
11 In the same way, if two people lie down together, they keep each other warm, but you can't keep yourself warm if you're alone.
Anahu kna huno, taremokema magopima masena'ana amuho huke masegaha'e. Hianagi magokemo'ma agraku'ma masesiana inankna huno amuhoa hugahie?
12 Someone fighting against one other person may win, but not if they are fighting against two. A cord made of three strands can't be torn apart quickly.
Magoke vahera ahe'za azeri haviza hugahazanagi, tare vahe'mokea hara huke ohevari ahevri (oza aza) hugaha'e. Hagi 3'a nofima magokepima erinteno zagi'nenia nofira ame hunora eri akamprura osugahie.
13 A poor young person who's wise is better than an old and foolish king who no longer accepts advice.
Amunte omane kasefa vahe'ma mani'neno, knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'zamo'a, ozafa kini ne' mani'neno avumro'ma ante ke'ma eri atre'zana agatere'ne.
14 He may even come out of prison to reign over his kingdom, even though he was born poor.
Ana kasefa ne'mo'a amunte omne nagapinti fore hu'nenianagi, amne feno vahera fore hugahie. Ana nehuno kina nompintira amane kinia efore hugahie.
15 I observed everyone here on earth following the youth who takes his place.
Ana'ma hige'na kogeno ana maka vahe'mo'a ana (nehaza) kasefa kini ne'mofo amage'nentaze.
16 He is surrounded by crowds of supporters, but the next generation isn't happy with him. This also illustrates the passing nature of life whose meaning is elusive, like pursuing the wind for understanding.
Ohampriga'a vahe krerfamo'za kasefa kini ne'mofo kaziga mani'naze. Hianagi henkama fore hu'za esnaza, kasefa kini nekura musena huontegahaze. Ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omneneankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.
