Ecclesiastes 5
1 Be careful when you go into God's house. It's better to listen and respond rather than offer meaningless sacrifices. People who do that don't even know they are doing wrong.
Karinganang fahsr lom nu in Tempul uh. Wo kom in som nu we in eis mwe lutlut, liki in orek kisa oana mwet lalfon su tia etu inmasrlon ma pwaye ac ma sutuu.
2 Don't say rash things, and think before you speak to God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so keep it short.
Nunkala in wo meet liki kom kaskas, ac nimet oru kutena wulela ingunyar nu sin God. El muta inkusrao ac kom muta fin faclu, ouinge nik kom fahk kas pus liki ma fal kom in fahk.
3 When you worry too much, you get nightmares; when you talk too much, you say foolish things.
Kom fin nunak yokla kom ac mweme koluk, ac kom fin kaskas pusla, kom ac ku in fahk kas lalfon.
4 When you make a vow to God, with a curse on you if you don't keep it, don't be slow in keeping it, for he is not happy with foolish behavior. So do what you promised!
Ke kom oru sie wulela nu sin God, aksaye in akfalye. El tia insewowo sin mwet lalfon uh. Oru ma kom wulela kac.
5 Better not to make any vows at all than to make vow you don't keep.
Wo kom in tiana orek wulela, liki na kom in orek wulela ac tia akfalye.
6 Don't let your mouth cause you to sin. And don't tell the priest that your vow was a mistake, for why would you antagonize God by breaking your promise? He could bring your own curse down on you.
Nimet lela kas lom uh in eiskomyang nu ke ma koluk, na kom fah tia enenu in som fahk nu sin mwet tol lun God lah kom tafongla. Efu kom ku oru God Elan kasrkusrak sum, ac kunausla ma kom orekma ac kemkatu kac?
7 There are certainly many dreams, questions of meaning, and lots of different ideas, but you are to follow God.
Finne pukanten mweme lom, ac finne pukanten orekma lusrongten lom, ac finne pusla kaskas lom, kom ac enenu na in sunakin God ac akfulatyal.
8 If you see poor people somewhere being oppressed, or truth and justice violated, don't be shocked at it, for every official is responsible to others higher up, and there are officials over them as well.
Nimet lut ke kom liye ke mwet kol lun sie mutunfacl elos akkeokye mwet sukasrup ac sruokya nununku suwohs lukelos. Kais sie mwet kol liyeyukyang sin sie su fulat lukel, ac eltal kewa karinginyuk selos su fulat lukelos.
9 However, what the land produces is for everyone—even the king benefits from what is grown.
Fahko lun acn uh ma nu sin mwet nukewa. Sripa lun sie tokosra pa elan karingin nien ima uh.
10 People who love money never have enough money; those who love wealth never have enough income. This too is so temporary and makes little sense.
Kom fin lungse mani, kom ac tia ku in muti; kom fin kena kasrup, ma kom ac eis ac fah tiana fal nu ke lungse lom. Ma inge wangin pac sripa.
11 The more you earn, the more you have eating into your income. It only looks like you have more!
Mwe kasrup lom fin yokelik, na ac puseni pac mwet kom kite. Pwayena ma wo kom ac eis kac uh pa kom ac etu lah kom kasrup.
12 Those who work hard sleep well, whether they have a little to eat or plenty, but the rich own so much they don't get any rest.
Sie mwet orekma, finne fal ku sufal ma el kang, el ku in motulla wo. Tusruktu sie mwet kasrup, ke sripen puslana ma lal, el ac sensen ac koflana motulla.
13 I observed something here that is really sickening: people who hoard money damage themselves.
Pa inge sie lumah na koluk nga liye fin faclu: mwet uh ac karingin mani lalos nu ke sie pacl elos ac enenu,
14 They put their money into bad investments and lose everything. Now when we're born, we don't bring anything into the world.
ac tok tuhlac nufon ke sie orekma koluk oakwuk kac, na saflaiya wangin ma lula in tutafla nu sin tulik natulos.
15 When we die, we leave just as naked as when we were born, taking nothing with us from all we've worked for.
Ke kut isusla nu faclu, wangin ma kut us, ac ke kut ac som liki faclu wangin pac ma kut ac us. Kut finne orekma upa, wangin ma kut ku in us wi kut.
16 This also makes me sick! What do people gain, working for the wind?
Tiana fal in ouinge! Kut ac som oana ke kut tuku. Kut orekma kemkatu, oana kut in srike sruokya eng uh, a mea kut eis kac?
17 They live their lives in darkness, very frustrated, sick, and resentful.
Kut moulkin moul in lohsr, asor, fosrnga, kasrkusrak, ac mas.
18 But I observed that what is good and right is to eat, drink, and to find enjoyment in the work God gives us here in this life. This is God's gift to us.
Pa inge ma nga konauk uh: ma se wo emeet sie mwet in oru pa elan mongo ac nim ac engankin ma el orekma kac ke moul fototo lal ma God El sang nu sel. Pa inge oakwuk lun God nu sin mwet uh.
19 In addition, everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions he also gives the ability to enjoy these gifts, to be grateful for what they are given, and to enjoy the work they do. This is also God's gift to us.
God El fin sang mwe kasrup ac acn nu sin sie mwet tuh elan engankin, fal elan sang kulo kac ac engankin orekma lal. Ma inge mwe kite sin God me.
20 In fact such people have little time to think about life because God keeps them busy with all that makes them happy.
Ke God El oru mwet sac elan engankin ma inge uh, el ac tia arulana nunku ke fototo moul lal uh.
