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;
Ta pinanunotko amin ti maipapan iti daytoy tapno maawatak ti maipapan kadagiti nalilinteg ken nasisirib a tattao ken dagiti aramidda. Addada amin kadagiti ima ti Dios. Awan ti makaammo no ayat wenno gura ti umay iti maysa a tao.
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.
Adda ti agpapada a gasat iti tunggal maysa. Agpada a gasat ti agur-uray kadagiti nalinteg a tattao ken nadangkes, kadagiti nasayaat a tattao ken dakes, kadagiti nadalus ken ti narugit, ken iti agidatdaton ken iti saan nga agidatdaton. Kas matayto dagiti nasayaat a tattao, kastan to met ti managbasol. Kas matayto ti agsapsapata, kasta met ti tao a mabuteng nga agsapata.
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.
Adda ti dakes a gasat para iti amin a banag a maar-aramid iti baba ti init, maysa a panungpalan para iti tunggal maysa. Napno iti kinadakes dagiti puso dagiti tattao, ken adda ti kinamauyong kadagiti pusoda kabayatan nga agbibiagda. Isu a kalpasan dayta mapanda iti ayan dagiti natay.
4 For whoever is yet united with all the living hath still hope; for a living dog fareth better than a dead lion.
Ta adda pay laeng ti namnama para iti maysa a tao a sibibiag, kas iti sibibiag nga aso a nasaysayaat ngem ti natay a leon.
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.
Ta ammo dagiti nabiag a tattao a mataydanto, ngem awan ti ammo ti natay. Awanen ti aniaman a magunggonada gapu ta nalipatanen dagiti pakalaglagipan kadakuada.
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.
Nagpukawen iti nabayag dagiti ayat, gura ken apalda. Awanton a pulos iti lugarda manen kadagiti aniaman a maar-aramid iti baba ti init.
7 Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a merry heart thy wine, if God have already received thy works in favor.
Inka iti dalanmo, kanem ti tinapaymo nga addaan iti rag-o, ken inumem ti arakmo nga addaan iti naragsak a puso, ta ipalpalubos ti Dios a marambakan dagiti nasayaat nga aramid.
8 At all times let thy garments be white, and let oil not be wanting on thy head.
Kanayon koma a puraw dagiti kawesmo ken napulotan ti ulom iti lana.
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.
Makipagnaedka a siraragsak iti asawam a babai nga ay-ayatem kadagiti amin nga aldaw iti biagmo nga awan serserbina, dagiti aldaw nga inted ti Dios kenka iti baba ti init kabayatan dagiti aldaw ti kinaawan ti serbim. Dayta ti gunggonam iti biag para iti trabahom iti baba ti init.
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 h7585)
Aniaman a masarakan ti imam nga aramiden, aramidem daytoy babaen iti pigsam, gapu ta awan iti trabaho wenno pannakapalawag wenno pannakaammo wenno kinasirib idiay tanem, ti lugar a papanam. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Nakakitaak kadagiti sumagmamano a makaay-ayo a banbanag iti baba ti init. Saan a kukua dagiti napapardas a tattao ti lumba. Saan a kukua dagiti napipigsa a tattao ti gubat. Saan a kukua dagiti nasisirib a tattao ti tinapay. Saan a kukua dagiti tattao nga addaan iti pannakaawat dagiti kinabaknang. Saan a kukua dagiti tattao nga addaan iti pannakaamo ti pabor. Ngem ketdi, apektaran amin ida ti tiempo ken gasat.
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.
Ta awan ti makaammo ti tiempo ti pannakatayna, kas iti lames a naibalod iti iket ti patay, wenno kas kadagiti billit a nasiloan. Kas kadagiti ayup, nakabalod dagiti tattao kadagiti dakes a tiempo a kellaat a nagdissuor kadakuada.
13 Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
Nakitak pay ti kinasirib iti baba ti init iti wagas a kasla naindaklan kaniak.
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;
Adda maysa a bassit a siudad nga addaan laeng ti sumagmamano a tattao, ket immay maibusor iti siudad ti maysa a nabileg nga ari ket rinautda daytoy ken nangipatakderda kadagiti dadakkel a sarikedked.
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.
Ita, adda nasarakan iti dayta a siudad a maysa a marigrigat, a nasirib a tao, a babaen iti kinasiribna ket naisalakan ti siudad. Ngem ti saan a nagbayag, awanen ti makalagip iti dayta met laeng a marigrigat a tao.
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.
Isu a kinunak, “Nasaysayaat ti kinasirib ngem ti kinapigsa, ngem naumsi ti kinasirib ti marigrigat a tao ken saan a nangngeg dagiti sasaona.”
17 The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Dagiti sasao ti nasirib a tao a naibaga a siuulimek ket ad-adda a mangngeg ngem ti pukkaw ti maysa a mangiturturay kadagiti maag.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner causes much good to be lost.
Nasaysayaat ti kinasirib ngem kadagiti igam ti gubat, ngem mabalin a dadaelen ti maysa a managbasol ti adu a kinaimbag.
