< Ecclesiastes 8 >

1 Who can compare to the truly wise? Who knows how to interpret things? If you have wisdom your face lights up, and your stern look is softened.
Iza knare antahi'zane vahera mani'neno, maka zamofo agafa'ama eri ama'ma hu'zana antahine? Knare antahizamo'a vahe'mofo avugosafi remsa higeno, avugosamo'a rumsa huno nevie.
2 My advice is to do what the king says, since that's what you promised God.
Kini ne'mofo ke antahinka amage anto hu'na nagra negasamue. Na'ankure kagra ko Anumzamofo avuga ke'a amage antegahue hunka huvempa hu'nane.
3 Don't be quick to walk out on the king without thinking what you're doing, and don't get involved with those who plot against him, for the king can do what he pleases.
Ame'amara hunka kini ne'mofo avugatira eri'zanka'a atrenka vunka kini ne'mofoma ha'ma renentaza vahe'enena kea ome hu hageorafio. Na'ankure kini ne'mo'a nazano agri'ma avesinia zana amane hugahie.
4 The king's orders have supreme authority—who is going to question him, saying, “What are you doing?”
Kini ne'mofo kemo'a, hihamu'a me'ne. Mago vahe'mo'a agenoka huno, na'a nehane hunora osugahie.
5 Those who follow his commands will not be involved in doing evil. Wise people think, recognizing there's a right time, and a right way.
Hiankino kini ne'mofo kema amage'ma antea vahe'mo'a, knazana e'origahie. Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a maka zama hania knane, maka'zama eri fore'ma hania kna fatgoa keno antahino hugahie.
6 For there's a right time and a right way for everything, even when things are going badly for you.
Na'ankure vahe'mofona hazenke zama'amo'a marerigahianagi, maka zamofona kna'a metere higeno kankamuma'a metere hu'ne.
7 No one knows what's going to happen, so who can say what the future holds?
Tamagerfa huno okima fore'ma hania zana, mago vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osu'neankino, okima fore'ma hania zamofona, iza huamara huno tasamigahie?
8 No one can hold onto the breath of life; no one can prevent the day when they die. There's no way of escaping that battle, and the wicked won't be saved by their wickedness!
Mago vahe'mofona hihamu'a omane'neankino, fri'zama nehanigeno asimu'amo'ma atre'zama nehanigeno'a aze'origahie. Anahu kna huno fri'zana mago vahe'mo'a aze'origahie. Ha'ma hu knafima sondia vahe'ma hunonteankna huno, kefo avu'ava zamo'a magore huno kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahera atresigeno ovugahie.
9 I examined all these things, and thought about all that happens here on earth, and the damage that's caused when people dominate others.
Maka zama ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zanku'ma antahintahima hufintira, mago zama kena eri fore'ma huana, vahe'mo'ma vahe'ma azeri haviza hu'zanke me'nege'na ke'noe.
10 Yes, I have seen wicked people buried with great honor. They used to go to the holy place, and were praised in the very city where they did their evil. This is hard to understand!
Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma frige'za, antahimi'za knare'za hu'za asezamantazage'na zamage'noe. Ana'ma hu'za asentete'za, ete ana ne'mo'ma hazenkema eri hakarema nehia rankumapima ne-eza, ana ne'mofo agia ahentesga nehaze. E'inahu avu'ava zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne.
11 When people are not punished quickly for their crimes they are even more determined to do wrong.
Hagi hazenkema nehaza vahe'ma keagazmima ame hu'zama refko'ma hu'za knama nozamizage'za, zamagrama zamagesama antahi'zana hazenkema hu'zana knare'za nehune nehu'za huvava huza nevaze.
12 Even though a sinner may do wrong a hundred times, and live a long life, I'm convinced that those who do what God says will be better off.
Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama 100'a zupama hazenkema nehu'za za'za knama mani'za nevazage'na, nagrama antahi'na ke'nama huana Anumzamofoma koro'ma hunte'za agoraga'ama nemani'za vahe'mo'za zamagatere'za knare zantfa hu'za manigahaze.
13 In fact, the wicked will not live long, passing like a shadow, because they refuse to follow God.
Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama maka zama hanaza zamo'a, knarera huno hageno mareorigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofona korora hunontazanki'za, knama mani'zama vanaza knamo'a kinaga zagemo'ma ufregeno vahe amema'amo'ma fanene nehiankna hu'za fanene hugahaze.
14 Another thing that is hard to understand is this: good people are treated as the wicked should be, and the wicked are treated as good people should be. As I say, this is difficult to comprehend!
Hagi agafa'a omne zama mago'ma ama mopafima eri fore'ma nehiana, knare vahetmina kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'ma huzmantaza kna avu'ava hunezmante'za, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera knare vahetmima huzmantaza kna avu'ava hunezmantaze. E'inahu avu'ava zamo'enena agafa'a omne'ne.
15 So I recommend enjoying life. There's nothing better for us here on earth than to eat and drink and be happy. Such an attitude will go with us as we work, and as we live our lives that God gives us here on earth.
E'ina hu'negu ama mopafina magora knare zana omne'neanki, ne'zane tinema neneno musema huno'ma mani nomani'zamoke knarera hu'ne. E'ina'ma hanu'za Anumzamo'ma eri'zama zamige'za ama mopafima amuhoma hu'za eri fore'ma nehaza zantami nene'za musena hugahaze.
16 When I applied my mind to discovering wisdom and observing everything people do here on earth, I couldn't get any sleep, day or night.
Hagi knare antahi'za erisue nehu'na, ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama knazama e'neriza zama koana, vahe'mofona avumase zana omane'neanki, feru'ene kenage'enena vahe'mo'a eri'zana eri vava nehige'na ke'noe.
17 Then I studied everything God does, and I realized that no one can fully understand what happens here. However, hard they try, however wise they claim to be, they can't really comprehend it.
Anama hige'na nagrama ke'na antahi'nama huana, maka zama ama mopafima Anumzamo'ma tro nehia zana, mago vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osugahie. Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'enena nagra knare hu'noanki'na, Anumzamo'ma tro'ma nehia zana amne ke'na antahina hugahue huno hugahianagi, ana maka zana keno antahinora osugahie.
