< Ecclesiastes 2 >

1 I said in mine heart, Goe to nowe, I will proue thee with ioy: therefore take thou pleasure in pleasant things: and beholde, this also is vanitie.
Hoe iraho an-troko ao, Antao arè, hitso­ek’ azo an-kafaleañe, hahatrea ty soa. Te mone, hakafoahañe avao.
2 I saide of laughter, Thou art mad: and of ioy, What is this that thou doest?
Hoe iraho ty amo fiankahafañeo, Hagegeañe! naho ty amo hafaleañeo, Ino ty atao’e?
3 I sought in mine heart to giue my selfe to wine, and to leade mine heart in wisdome, and to take holde of follie, till I might see where is that goodnesse of the children of men, which they enioy vnder the sunne: the whole nomber of the dayes of their life.
Kinodebe’ ty ereñereko ty hañonkòñe ty troko ami’ty divay, ie nitehafen-kihitse ty fitsakoreako; naho ty hangazoñako o hadagolàñeo ampara’ te hahatreavako ze mahasoa o ana’ ondatio, hitoloña’e ambanen-dike­rañe atoa amo andron-kaveloma’e tsy ampe’ ampeo.
4 I haue made my great workes: I haue built me houses: I haue planted me vineyards.
Nitratrañaheko o fitoloñakoo; nandranjy anjomba ho ahy, vaho namboleako tetem-bahe;
5 I haue made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them trees of all fruite.
Namboarako goloboñe naho ala-vondro, vaho namboleako ze hene karazan-katae mamoa-voa.
6 I haue made me cisternes of water, to water therewith the woods that growe with trees.
Nihaliako antara hanondrahako o hatae mitiry amy alaio.
7 I haue gotten seruants and maides, and had children borne in the house: also I had great possession of beeues and sheepe aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem.
Nivily ondevo lahy naho ampela, naho nanañe ondevo terak’ an-trañoko ao; toe nanam-piharo troke naho mpirai-lia maro te amy ze hene taoloko e Ierosa­laime ao.
8 I haue gathered vnto me also siluer and gold, and the chiefe treasures of Kings and prouinces: I haue prouided me men singers and women singers, and the delites of the sonnes of men, as a woman taken captiue, and women taken captiues.
Natontoko amako ka ty volafoty naho ty volamena naho ty vara’ o mpanjaka naho tane fehekoo; nahazoako mpibeko lahilahy naho ampela, vaho ze mahanembanembañe ty tro’ o ana’ ondatio: sakeza tsifotofoto.
9 And I was great, and increased aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem: also my wisedome remained with me.
Aa le nitoabotse, nandikoareko ze hene taoloko e Ierosalaime ao; vaho nifahatse amako i hihikoy.
10 And whatsoeuer mine eyes desired, I withheld it not from them: I withdrew not mine heart from any ioy: for mine heart reioyced in al my labour: and this was my portion of all my trauaile.
Tsy eo ty nitanako amo masokoo ze hene naina’e; tsy nikalañeko ami’ty troko ze atao finembanembàñe, fa nahafale ty troko o fitoloñako iabio, izay ty nanambe ahy amo hene tolon-drahakoo.
11 Then I looked on all my workes that mine hands had wrought, and on the trauaile that I had laboured to doe: and beholde, all is vanitie and vexation of the spirit: and there is no profite vnder the sunne.
Ie amy zao hinaraharako ze hene nanoen-tañako naho o fifanehafañe nanoekoo, le ingo fonga hakafoahañe, naho fañeañan-tioke, fa tsy aman-tombo’e ty ambane’ i àndroy.
12 And I turned to beholde wisedome, and madnes and follie: (for who is the man that will come after the King in things, which men nowe haue done?)
Aa le nitolike raho hañarahara ty hihitse naho ty hadagolàñe naho ty hagegeañe; fa inom-bao ty hanoe’ ze manonjohy i mpanjakay? Ts’ino naho tsy o fa noeñeo avao.
13 Then I saw that there is profite in wisdome, more then in follie: as the light is more excellent then darkenes.
Nizoeko amy zao te likoare’ ty hihitse ty hadagolàñe manahake ty andikoara’ ty hazavàñe ty ieñe.
14 For the wise mans eyes are in his head, but the foole walketh in darknes: yet I know also that the same condition falleth to them all.
Añambone’e eo ty fihaino’ o mahihitseo, fe mañavelo añ’ieñe ao ty dagola. Nirendreko amy zao te raik’ avao ty toly mifetsak’am’ iereo iaby.
15 Then I thought in mine heart, It befalleth vnto me, as it befalleth to ye foole. Why therefore doe I then labour to be more wise? And I sayd in mine heart, that this also is vanitie.
Aa hoe iraho am-batako, Ze mifetsak’ amy dagolay ty hidoñe amako kañe; aa vaho inom-barè ty maha-loho mahihitse ahy? le hoe iraho an-troko ao, hakafoahañe ka ie iaby izay.
16 For there shalbe no remembrance of the wise, nor of the foole for euer: for that that now is, in the dayes to come shall all be forgotten. And howe dyeth the wise man, as doeth the foole?
Toe tsy eo ty tsy ho modo fitiahiañe ty mahihitse naho i dagola, songa ho haliño amo andro mbe ho avio. sindre hivetrake ty dagola naho i mahihitse.
17 Therefore I hated life: for the worke that is wrought vnder the sunne is grieuous vnto me: for all is vanitie, and vexation of the spirit.
Aa le nalaim-piaiñe iraho, fa nahangoae ahy ze fonga fanoeñe ambane’ i àndroy, fa hene kafo­ake, fañeañan-tioke avao.
18 I hated also all my labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne, which I shall leaue to the man that shalbe after me.
Eka, nihejeko ze fonga fitoloñako nifanehafako ambane’ i àndroy, ie tsy mete tsy hene hengako am’indaty manonjohy ahiy.
19 And who knoweth whether he shalbe wise or foolish? yet shall hee haue rule ouer all my labour, wherein I haue trauailed, and wherein I haue shewed my selfe wise vnder the sunne. This is also vanitie.
Ia ty mahafohiñe, ke t’ie ondaty mahihitse, he dagola? Fe fonga ho fehe’e o nifanehafako naho nisafirie’ ty hihiko ambane’ i androio. Kafoake ka izay.
20 Therefore I went about to make mine heart abhorre all the labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne.
Aa le nitolike iraho, nadoko hioremeñe ty troko amo hene tolon-draha nitoloñeko ambane’ i androio,
21 For there is a man whose trauaile is in wisdome, and in knowledge and in equitie: yet to a man that hath not trauailed herein, shall he giue his portion: this also is vanitie and a great griefe.
Eo t’indaty nitoloñe an-kihitse naho hilala naho fahimbañañe, vaho atolo’e amy tsy nitoloñe ama’ey i anjara’ey. Hakafoahañe naho haloloañe!
22 For what hath man of all his trauaile and griefe of his heart, wherein he hath trauailed vnder the sunne?
Ino ty ho azo’ ondaty amo fifanehafa’e iabio naho amo fimanean-tro’e nitoloña’e ambane’ i androio?
23 For all his dayes are sorowes, and his trauaile griefe: his heart also taketh not rest in the night: which also is vanitie.
Fa amo hene andro’eo, le fonga atsa-panaintaiñañe naho hasosorañe o fitoloña’eo; tsy mitofa o fitsakorea’eo ndra te haleñe. Kafoake ka izay.
24 There is no profit to man: but that he eate, and drinke, and delight his soule with the profit of his labour: I saw also this, that it was of the hand of God.
Tsy eo ty mahasoa ondatio ta te mikama naho minoñe vaho manao an-tro’e te soa o fitoloña’eo. Izay ka ty nitreako boak’am-pitàn’ Añahare,
25 For who could eate, and who could haste to outward things more then I?
amy te ia ty hikama naho ia ty hifale mandikoatse ahy?
26 Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giueth wisdome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner he giueth paine, to gather, and to heape to giue to him that is good before God: this is also vanitie, and vexation of the spirit.
Toe toloran’ Añahare hihitse naho hilala vaho hafaleañe ze no’e am-pivazohoa’e eo; f’ie ami’ty mpanao hakeo ro ampitoloña’e fanontonañe naho fampitoboroñañe, hanolora’e amo noron’ Añahareo. Toe hakoahañe ka izay, fañeañan-tioke.
