Ecclesiastes 11
1 Send forth your bread on the face of the waters, For in the multitude of the days you find it.
Dhiyo adhiya nyime gitimo timbe mabeyo, to bangʼe notimni ngʼwono.
2 Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, For you do not know what evil is on the earth.
Chiw achiwa mwanduni ni ji mangʼeny, nikech ikia gima kiny notimreni.
3 If the thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they empty [themselves]; And if a tree falls in the south or to the north, The place where the tree falls, there it is.
Ka polo odudo, to koth chue e piny. Kata ka yien olwar yo milambo kata yo nyandwat, kama olwarieno, kanyo ema iyude.
4 Whoever is observing the wind does not sow, And whoever is looking on the thick clouds does not reap.
Ngʼama osiko mana ka ngʼiyo kor polo ok nokom; to ngʼama rito mana ni mondo koth ochwe, ok noke.
5 As you do not know what [is] the way of the spirit, How—bones in the womb of the full one, So you do not know the work of God who makes the whole.
Mana kaka ok inyal ngʼeyo kama yamo luwo, kata ngʼeyo kaka nyathi chakore ei min, omiyo ok inyal ngʼeyo gima Nyasaye ma jachwech gik moko duto timo.
6 In the morning sow your seed, And at evening do not withdraw your hand, For you do not know which is right, this or that, Or whether both of them alike [are] good.
Chwo kodhi mari gokinyi, to godhiambo kik iwe lweti bed maonge tich, nimar ok ingʼeyo kata gibiro twi, giduto maber.
7 Sweet also [is] the light, And good for the eyes to see the sun.
Ler ber kendo omiyo wangʼ neno maber.
8 But if man lives many years, In all of them let him rejoice, And remember the days of darkness, For they are many! All that is coming [is] vanity.
To kuom higni mangʼeny ma dhano nyalo dak, we mondo obed mamor kuom hignigo duto. Makmana wiye kik wil gi ndalo mag mudho nikech kosetho to ndalo mag mudho nobed mangʼeny moloyo. Gimoro amora mabiro bangʼe onge tiende.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your childhood, And let your heart gladden you in days of your youth, And walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes, And know that for all these, God brings you into judgment.
Bed mamor, in wuowi matin, ka pod in rawera kendo tim gik moko duto ma chunyi dwaro. Tim gik moko duto ma chunyi gombo kendo wangʼi nyalo neno, to kata kamano nyaka ingʼe ni Nyasaye nongʼadni bura kuom gik moko duto mitimo.
10 And turn aside anger from your heart, And cause evil to pass from your flesh, For the childhood and the age [are] vanity!
Omiyo koro, gol gombo duto oko e chunyi kendo kik iwe gombo mag ringruok thagi, nikech bedo rawera maratego bende onge tiende.
