Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an euill, which I sawe vnder the sunne, and it is much among men:
Eo ty haratiañe nitreako ambane’ i àndroy, toe mandrambañe am’ondatio,
2 A man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that it desireth: but God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a strange man shall eate it vp: this is vanitie, and this is an euill sicknesse.
eo t’indaty nitoloran’ Añahare drala naho vara vaho asiñe, ie tsy po-draha irien-troke, fe tsy nitoloran’ Añahare ty haozarañe hahafikama’e, te mone hane’ ty ambahiny; hakafoahañe izay vaho areten-draty.
3 If a man beget an hundreth children and liue many yeeres, and the dayes of his yeeres be multiplied, and his soule be not satisfied with good things, and he be not buried, I say that an vntimely fruite is better then he.
Ndra te misamak’ anake zato indatiy, naho maro taoñe ty iaiña’e, ndra firefire, fe tsy enen-kasoa ty tro’e, naho tsy eo ty handeveñe aze, le hàmake t’ie niboloañe,
4 For he commeth into vanitie and goeth into darkenesse: and his name shall be couered with darkenesse.
ho koake ty fiavi’e naho himoromoroñe ty fiengà’e, vaho ho kolopofe’ ty ieñe i tahina’ey;
5 Also he hath not seene ye sunne, nor knowen it: therefore this hath more rest then the other.
le lia’e tsy ho isa’e i àndroy vaho hamoea’e; f’ie ty mitofa soa ta i raikey;
6 And if he had liued a thousand yeeres twise tolde, and had seene no good, shall not all goe to one place?
eka ndra te indroe veloñe arivo taoñe i raikey, ie tsy nanjo hasoa; tsy kila hikovovoke mb’an-toetse raike mb’eo hao?
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth: yet the soule is not filled.
Hene ho am-palie’e avao ty fitoloña’ ondaty, te tsy eneñe i hatea-hane’ey.
8 For what hath the wise man more then the foole? what hath the poore that knoweth how to walke before the liuing?
Aa inoñe ty mahazòke’ ty dagola i mahihitse? ino ty fitombo’ i rarakey, t’ie mahafitsontike añatrefa’ o veloñeo?
9 The sight of ye eye is better then to walke in ye lustes: this also is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
Hamake ty onim-pihaino, te ami’ty fisalalan-troke; hakafoahañe ka izay vaho fimanean-tioke.
10 What is that that hath bene? the name thereof is nowe named: and it is knowen that it is man: and he cannot striue with him that is stronger then he.
Ze hene eo le fa nitolorañe añarañe, le fa arofoanañe te inoñe ondatio, vaho tsy aze ty hifandietse amy maozatse te ama’ey.
11 Surely there be many things that increase vanitie: and what auaileth it man?
Maro ty raha manovoñe o hakoahañeo, aa le ino ty tombo’e ho a ondatio?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in the life and in the nomber of the dayes of the life of his vanitie, seeing he maketh them as a shadowe? For who can shewe vnto man what shall be after him vnder the sunne?
Ia ty mahafohiñe ze mahasoa ondatio ami’ty havelo’e, amo taoñe tsy ampeampe iveloma’e hoe evoñeo, ie mihelañe hoe talinjo avao? Fa ia ty hahatalily am’ondatio ty hanonjohy aze, ambane’ i àndroy?
