Ecclesiastes 3
1 To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
Nitiere kinde mar gimoro amora, kod thuolo mitimoe tich moro ka moro e bwo polo:
2 A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted.
kinde mar nywol kod kinde mar tho, kinde mar pitho kod kinde mar putho,
3 A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
kinde mar nek kod kinde mar chang, kinde mar muko kod kinde mar gero,
4 A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
kinde mar kuyo kod kinde mar mor, kinde mar ywak kod kinde mar miel,
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.
kinde mar keyo kite kod kinde mar chokogi, kinde mar kwakruok kod kinde mar weyo kwakruok,
6 A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
kinde mar dwaro gimoro kod kinde ma gimoro lalie, kinde mar kano gimoro kod kinde mar wito gimoro,
7 A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
kinde mar yiecho gimoro kod kinde mar twangʼo, kinde mar lingʼ kod kinde mar wuoyo,
8 A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
kinde mar hera kod kinde mar sin, kinde mar lweny kod kinde mar kwe.
9 What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
En ohala mane ma jatich yudo kuom tich matek?
10 I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
Aseneno tingʼ mapek ma Nyasaye oseketo kuom ji.
11 He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.
Oseketo gik moko duto obedo maber e kindegi. Oseketo ngima mochwere e chuny ji; kata kamano ok ginyal paro matut gima Nyasaye osetimono aa chakruok nyaka giko.
12 I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
Angʼeyo ni onge gino maber ne ji moloyo bedo mamor kendo mondo gitim maber kapod gingima.
13 And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
Wan duto wanyalo chiemo kendo metho, kendo wabed mamor e tijewa. Ma en mich moa kuom Nyasaye.
14 I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
Angʼeyo ni gimoro amora ma Nyasaye timo osiko manyaka chiengʼ, onge gima inyalo mede kata inyalo gol kuome. Nyasaye timo kamano mondo omi ji oluore.
15 What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
Mantiere sani nosebedo, kendo mano mabiro bedo nosebedo chon; kendo Nyasaye biro kelo gik machon e kar ngʼado bura.
16 And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
Kendo ne aneno gimachielo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ: Kama adiera gi ngʼado bura makare onego bedie, to richo ema bedoe.
17 I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.
Ne aparo e chunya niya, “Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura ni jo-ratiro kaachiel gi joma richo, nikech gimoro ka gimoro ni kod sane.”
18 I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.
Bende ne achako aparo niya, “Nyasaye temo dhano mondo gine ni gichalo gi le.
19 For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
Giko mar dhano gi le en ni gimoro achiel ochomogi duto machalre. Kaka achiel tho e kaka machielo bende. Giduto giyweyo machalre; dhano ok winj maber maloyo le. Gik moko duto onge tiendgi.
20 All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
Giduto gidhi kamoro achiel; giduto gia e lowo, kendo giduto gidok e lowo.
21 Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
En ngʼa mongʼeyo ka chuny dhano dum dhi malo to chuny le ridore dhi e lowo?”
22 Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
Omiyo ne aneno ni onge gima ber ni dhano moloyo tichne, nikech mano e pokne. Kare en ngʼa manyalo keche mondo one gima biro timorene bangʼe kosetho?
