< Ecclesiastes 9 >
1 For all this did I reflect over in my heart and to explain all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their services, are in the hand of God: that man knoweth neither love nor hatred; it is all [ordained] before them;
Na da amo dawa: i liligi bu bagadewane dawa: lalu, agoane dawa: i. Gode da bagade dawa: su amola moloidafa dunu ilia hamobe huluane ouligisa. Amola ilia asigi hou amola higasu hou huluane ouligisa. Dunu afae da ema fa: no doaga: mu hou hamedafa dawa:
2 Every thing as it is to happen to all; there is but one occurrence for the righteous, and for the wicked; for the good and for the clean, and for the unclean; and for him that sacrificeth, and for him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Be amo da osobo bagade hou hame afadenesa. Hobea misunu hou da defele moloidafa dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu, noga: i dunu amola wadela: i dunu, Gode Ea hou lalegagui amola hame lalegagui, gobele salasu hamobe dunu amola gobele salasu hame hamobe, ilima defele doaga: sa. Hou da moloidafa dunuma doaga: be da hou amo da wadela: i hamosu dunuma doaga: be, amo hame baligisa. Hou da dunu amo da sia: ilegebeba: le doaga: be, da hou amo sia: hame ilegesu dunuma doaga: be, hame baligisa.
3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one occurrence for all, and that also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and that madness is in their heart while they live, and after this they go to the dead.
Fa: no misunu hou da dunu huluanedafa ilima defele doaga: be. Amola amo hou da hou eno osobo bagadega diala defele, defea hame gala. Osobo bagade dunu da esalebeba: le, ilia asigi dawa: su da wadela: i hou amola doulasi hou amoga nabai gala. Amalalu, ilia da hedolowane bogosa.
4 For whoever is yet united with all the living hath still hope; for a living dog fareth better than a dead lion.
Be nowa da osobo bagadega esalea, da dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su fonobahadi gala. Wa: me esalebe da laione wa: me bogoi ea hou baligisa.
5 For the living know that they will die; but the dead know not the least; nor have they longer any reward; for their memory is forgotten.
Dafawane! Esalebe dunu da ilia fa: no da bogomu amo dawa: Be bogoi dunu da dawa: mu hamedei. Ilia da noga: i bidi eno lamu hamedei. Eno dunu da ili dafawane gogolesa.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, are now already lost; and they will have never more a portion in all that is done under the sun.
Ilia asigi hou, higasu hou amola ilia hanai hou da ili galu bogoi dagoi. Ilia da osobo bagade hamobe liligi amoga bu hamedafa gilisimu.
7 Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a merry heart thy wine, if God have already received thy works in favor.
Defea! Hamoma! Dia ha: i manu hahawane moma! Dia waini hano hahawane moma! Gode da amo da defea dawa: sa.
8 At all times let thy garments be white, and let oil not be wanting on thy head.
Eso huluane fedege agoane, abula ahia: iai salima amola dia dialuma da: iya susuligi sogadigima!
9 Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, [yea, ] all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.
Gode da dima udigili esalusu iabe, amo ganodini, di amola dia sasagesu uda ali hahawane esaloma! Hamedei eso huluane amoga, hahawane ba: mu. Bai dia esalusu amoga di da amo dabe fawane lamu.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do with thy might, that do; for there is no work, nor experience, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the nether world, whither thou goest.— (Sheol )
Dia hawa: hamosea, gasa fili hamoma! Bai di bogoi sogebi doaga: sea, hawa: hamomu amola asigiga dawa: mu amola bagade dawa: su hou huluane bu hamedafa ba: mu. Amola di da bogoi soge amogawi masunu. (Sheol )
11 I turned about, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; and that also the wise have no bread, nor yet the men of understanding riches, nor yet men of knowledge favor; but time and fate will overtake them all.
Na da eno liligi dawa: i. Osobo bagadega, hehenasu bagade dawa: dunu da eso huluane hame baligisa, amola beda: hamedei dunu da eso huluane gegesu ganodini hame hasala. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane ilia labe defele, muni hame laha. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane bagade gaguiwane hame ba: sa. Amola hawa: hamosu dawa: dunu da eso huluane ouligisu hou hamoma: ne hame heda: sa. Dunu huluane da se nabasu ba: sa.
12 For man also knoweth not his time, like the fishes that are caught in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in the snare: like these are the sons of men ensnared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly.
Dia bogomu eso dima manebe, amo di hame dawa: Sio saniga sa: i agoai amola menabo segega dabe agoai, ninia wadela: i eso amoga ninia hame dawa: i, saniga sa: i dagoi ba: mu.
13 Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
Na da eno liligi ba: i. Amo da ado digisu amo osobo bagade dunu da bagade dawa: su hou agoane ba: sa.
14 There was a little city, and the men therein were few; and there came against it a great king, who enclosed it, and built around it great works of siege;
“Moilai fonobahadi dialebe ba: i. Amo ganodini, dunu bagahame fawane esalebe ba: i. Gasa bagade hina bagade dunu da amo moilai doagala: i. Ea dadi gagui da moilai sisiga: le, gagoi gadelale sa: imusa: momagei.
15 But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought of that same poor man.
Hame gagui dunu afae da amogai esalu. E da bagade dawa: beba: le, amo moilai gaga: musa: dawa: defele galu. Be dunu afaega da amo ea hame dawa: digi.”
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor man's wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.
Na da eso huluane agoane sia: su. Bagade dawa: su hou da gasa baligisa. Be dunu huluane da hame gagui dunu da dawa: su gala amo hame dawa: sa. Amola ilia da hame gagui dunu ea fada: i sia: hame naba.
17 The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Bagade dawa: su dunu ea asaboi sia: nabimu da defea. Be ouligisu dunu da gagaoui dunu ilia gilisili sia: fasu ganodini, amo ea wesu nabimu da defea hame.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner causes much good to be lost.
Bagade dawa: su hou ea hamobe da gegesu liligi ilia hamobe baligisa. Be wadela: i hamosu dunu afae da hou noga: iwane bagohame wadela: lesimusa: dawa:
