Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I turned and considered all the oppressions that are wrought vnder the sunne, and beholde the teares of the oppressed, and none comforteth them: and lo, the strength is of the hand of them that oppresse them, and none comforteth them.
Na nga sifilpa liye ma sesuwos puspis ma orek faclu. Mwet uh akkeokyeyuk ac elos tung, ac wangin mwet in kasrelos. Wangin mwet in kasrelos, mweyen ku uh oasr sin mwet akkeokyalos.
2 Wherefore I praysed the dead which now are dead, aboue the liuing, which are yet aliue.
Nga ke ouiyuk mwet ma misa tari — wo nu selos liki mwet su srakna moul.
3 And I count him better then them both, which hath not yet bin: for he hath not seene the euill workes which are wrought vnder the sunne.
Tusruktu elos su soenna isusla ac tia liye ma sesuwos ma nuna orek na faclu, elos pa wo nu se liki na mwet srakna moul, ku mwet misa tari.
4 Also I beheld all trauaile, and all perfection of workes that this is ye enuie of a man against his neighbour: this also is vanitie and vexation of spirit.
Nga etala pac lah efu ku mwet uh arulana orekma upa ac suk in usrnguk ma elos oru: mweyen elos aorekmai nu sin sie sin sie. Tusruktu ma inge ma lusrongten — oana ukweyen eng uh.
5 The foole foldeth his hands, and eateth vp his owne flesh.
Oasr soakas se fahk mu mwet lalfon uh farpoeni ac sifacna masrinsralyal nwe ke el misa.
6 Better is an handfull with quietnesse, then two handfuls with labour and vexation of spirit.
Sahp ac pwaye, tusruktu ma srisrik yurin sie mwet wi misla, wo liki kafofo ke ma pus, su oana ukweyen eng uh.
7 Againe I returned, and sawe vanitie vnder the sunne.
Nga liye sie pacna ma lusrongten ke moul faclu.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second, which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill trauaile.
Oasr sie mukul mukena muta. Wangin wen natul, ac wangin pac mwet lel, a el orekma pacl nukewa, ac soenna sun lungse lal ke mwe kasrup ma oan yorol. Ac ma nu sin su orekma upa lal uh, ac efu ku el pilesrala pacl in pwar lal uh? Wangin pac sripa in ouinge — sie ouiya na koluk in moulkinyuk.
9 Two are better then one: for they haue better wages for their labour.
Mwet luo wo liki mwet se na, mweyen ke eltal tukeni uh eltal akasrui ke orekma laltal.
10 For if they fal, the one wil lift vp his felow: but wo vnto him that is alone: for he falleth, and there is not a second to lift him vp.
Sie seltal fin ikori, mwet se ngia ac ku in kasrel tulokunulak. A fin mwet se na ac el ikori, ac koluk nu sel mweyen wangin mwet in kasrel.
11 Also if two sleepe together, then shall they haue heate: but to one how should there be heate?
Ke pacl mihsrisr, mwet luo fin tukeni oan eltal ac fusrfusr na, a kom ac fusrfusr fuka kom fin mukena?
12 And if one ouercome him, two shall stand against him: and a threefolde coard is not easily broken.
Mwet se ku in lain mwet se na ac kutangla, tuh el tia ku in kutangla kuiyen mwet luo. Soko sucl ma pipla ke koa tolkwe ac upa in wotla.
13 Better is a poore and wise childe, then an olde and foolish King, which will no more be admonished.
Sie mwet fusr finne sukasrup a el lalmwetmet, ac wo liki sie tokosra su matu ac lalfon, su srangesr eis kas in kasru
14 For out of the prison he commeth forth to reigne: when as he that is borne in his kingdome, is made poore.
mwet fusr sac finne illa liki presin ac akwalyeyukyak nu ke tokosra, oayapa el finne isusla sukasrup in tokosrai uh.
15 I behelde all the liuing, which walke vnder the sunne, with the second childe, which shall stand vp in his place.
Nga nunku ke mwet nukewa su muta fin facl se inge, ac nga akilen lah oasr sie mwet fusr inmasrlolos su ac fah eis acn sin tokosra.
16 There is none ende of all the people, nor of all that were before them, and they that come after, shall not reioyce in him: surely this is also vanitie and vexation of spirit.
Pisen mwet tokosra se inge leumi uh arulana pus, koflana oekyukla, a fwil tokol an tiana srui orekma lal. Ma inge wangin sripa — oana ukweyen eng uh.
