Ecclesiastes 6
1 I have observed another evil here on earth, and it has a great impact on humanity.
Nga liye pac lah fin facl se inge oasr sie ma koluk na yohk sikyak, ac mwet puspis wi pulakin.
2 God gives wealth, possessions, and honor to someone. They have everything they want. But God doesn't let them enjoy what they have. Instead somebody else does! This is hard to fathom, and is truly evil.
God El ac sang mwe kasrup, sunak, ac acn nu sin sie mwet, aok el fas ke ma lungse lal nukewa. Na tok God El tia lela nu sel in engan kac. Siena mwet pa ac insewowokin, ac tia el. Tiana suwohs in ouinge. Arulana wangin sripa.
3 A man could have one hundred children, and grow old, but it wouldn't matter how long his life was if he couldn't enjoy it and at the end receive a decent burial. I would say that a stillborn child would be better off than him.
Mwet se fin oasr foko tulik natul ac loes moul lal, tusruktu tu el finne moul paht a el tia insewowo in moul lal, ku fin tia pukpuki el in wo, na nga ku in fahk mu wo nu sin tulik fusr se ma misa na osweyukla, liki mwet sac.
4 The way a stillborn child comes into the world and then leaves is painfully hard to understand—arriving and departing in darkness—and who he would have been is never known.
Wangin sripa in osweyukla tulik sac — el wanginla nu in lohsr, yen mulkinyukla el we.
5 He never saw the light of day or knew what it was like to live. Yet the child finds rest, and not this man.
El tiana liye kalem lun len uh, ku etu kutena ma ke luman moul uh, tusruktu el konauk mongla —
6 Even if this man were to live a thousand years twice over he still wouldn't be happy. Don't we all end up in the same place—the grave?
yohk liki na mwet se ma tiana insewowokin moul lal uh el finne moul yac luo tausin. Kalem lah eltal kewa ac som nu yen sefanna.
7 Everyone works so they can live, but they're never satisfied.
Sie mwet el oru orekma lal nukewa ma na in konauk mwe mongo nal, tusruktu wangin pacl el muti kac.
8 So then, what real advantage do wise people have over those who are fools? And do poor people really gain anything in knowing how to behave in front of others?
Mea ac wo nu sin mwet lalmwetmet se liki mwet lalfon se? Oayapa wangin ma ac wo nu sin sie mwet sukasrup el finne moulkin moul wo inmasrlon mwet uh.
9 Be happy with what you have instead of running after what you don't! But this is also hard to do, like running after the wind.
Ma inge ma lusrongten — oana ukweyen eng uh. Wo kom in falkin ma oasr yurum, liki kom in mwel kutu pacna ma saya pacl nukewa.
10 Everything that exists has already been described. Everyone knows what people are like, and that you can't win an argument with a superior.
Ma nukewa ma sikyak uh nuna oakwuki oemeet me, ac kut nukewa etu lah sie mwet el tia ku in akukuin nu sin sie su ku lukel.
11 For the more words you use, the harder it is to make sense. So what's the point?
Kom finne kaskas pusla ke akukuin, ac nuna wangin sripa wo ac tuku kac, ac kom tia pac eis wo kac.
12 Who knows what's best for us and our lives? During our short lives that pass like shadows we have many unanswered questions. And who can tell us what will happen when we're gone?
Su ku in etu lah mea ac wo emeet nu sin sie mwet ke lusen moul fototo ac lusrongten se inge — sie moul su ac wanginla oana lul in pukunyeng? Su ku in etu ma ac sikyak fin faclu tukun kut misa?
