< Ecclesiastes 2 >
1 I said in my heart, “Pray, come, I try you with mirth, and look on gladness”; and behold, even it [is] vanity.
Nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, Menina muse zampima knare zama me'nesigura refko hu'na kesue hu'noe. Hianagi ana muse zampima koana agafa'a omne'ne.
2 Of laughter I said, “Foolish!” And of mirth, “What [is] this it is doing?”
Hagi musema nehuno kiza zokagoma hu'zana agafa'a omne avu'ava zankino, mago knare zana eri forera osugahie hu'na hu'noe.
3 I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly until I see where this [is]—the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.
Ama mopafima vahe'mo'zama osi'a knafima mani'neza musema nehazaza ke'nue hute'na, waini tina nene'na musena nehu'na, neginagi avu'ava zana hu'noe.
4 I made great my works, I built for myself houses, I planted for myself vineyards.
Hanki ra eri'za eri'na tusinasi nontami kinente'na rama'a waini hozaramina nentena,
5 I made for myself gardens and paradises, and I planted in them trees of every fruit.
rama'a hoza nente'na, agona agona ruzahu ruzahu zafa ragama renentea zafaramina rama'a kri'noe.
6 I made for myself pools of water, to water from them a forest shooting forth trees.
Ana nehu'na tintamina ahentragi'na ana tirupinti tina afina zafa hoza tina ami'noe.
7 I acquired menservants, and maidservants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance—herd and flock—above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.
Kazokzo eri'za vene'nene a'nanenena mizasena zamavroge'za nonifina mani'ne'za mofavreramina kase hakare hu'naze. Hagi ko'ma mago'a kini vahe'ma Jerusalemima kinima mani'naza vahera, zamagatere'na rama'a sipisipi afutamine meme afutaminena ante'noe.
8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I prepared for myself men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of man—a wife and wives.
Ana nehu'na kuma'nifintira rama'a silvane golinena zogina eri atru nehu'na, ru kini vahe'mo'zama namiza fenonena rama'a ante'noe. Hagi zavenama nehe'za zagamema hu vahera, vene'nene a'nanenena rama'a zamavroge'za kumanifina emani'naze. Ana nehu'na nagra'a nazeri muse hanufi nehu'na henka a'nanea rama'a knare'nare a'nene eri'noe.
9 And I became great, and increased above everyone who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.
E'ina'ma nehu'na ko'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma kinima mani'za e'naza vahetmina zamagatere'na rama'a feno ante'noe. Ana hugeno knare antahi'zamo'a nagri'ene me'ne.
10 And all that my eyes asked I did not keep back from them; I did not withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this has been my portion, from all my labor,
Ina zanku'ma navesia zana amane e'neri'na, inanknahu musezama hunaku'ma huazana amane hu'noe. Ana nehu'na tusi muse hu'na eri'zana eneri'na, ana eri'zamofo nena'ama efore'ma hiazana ke'noe.
11 and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labor that I have labored to do, and behold, the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun!
Hianagi maka zama hankaveniama atre'na erifore hua zantmima koana, ana zantamina agafa'a omane'ne. Amane zahoma avaririankna hu'noe. Mago knare zana ama mopafina kena eri amara osu'noe.
12 And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what [is] the man who comes after the king? That which [is] already—they have done it!
Hanki knare antahi'zane neginagi antahi'zanema erinte'na refkoma hu'na koana, henkama efore hania kini ne'mo'a tro'ma osu'nesua zana, naza tro hugahie? Maka zama tro'ma haniana, nagra ko tro hu'noaza tro hugahie.
13 And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.
Nagrama nagesama antahuana, masamo'ma hanizama agatereankna huno, knare antahi'zamo'a neginagi antahi'zana agatere'ne.
14 The wise—his eyes [are] in his head, and the fool is walking in darkness, and I also knew that one event happens with them all;
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a kama neviankana negeno nevianagi, neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a hanimpi nevie. Hagi mago zama keama'ma huana ana taregamokea magozahu hu'na'e.
15 and I said in my heart, “As it happens with the fool, it happens also with me, and why am I then more wise?” And I spoke in my heart, that also this [is] vanity:
E'inahu'za me'nege'na nagra amanahu antahintahi hu'noe, neginagi vahetema fore'ma hania zamo'a, ana hukna za nagritera fore hugahie. E'ina hu'neanki knare antahi'zamo'a nankna knare'za erifore huramigahie. Knare antahi'zama eri'zamofona agafa'a omane'ne.
16 That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—for all time, for that which [is] already, [in] the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dies the wise? With the fool!
Na'ankure knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za neginagi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za frisage'za zamage akani zamantegahaze. Vahe'mo'zama maniza vanafina, ana tare kevufi vahekura zamage akanizmantegahaze. Ana hanigeno neginagi vahe'ma friaza huno knare antahintahine vahe'mo'ma fri'nige'za zamage akanintegahaze.
17 And I have hated life, for sad to me [is] the work that has been done under the sun, for the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit.
E'i zanku asimu'ma erino ama mopafima mani zankura tusi navesra nehie. Na'ankure mika zama hua zamo'a asunku zanke'za avreno eme nenamie. Tusi amuhoma huta maka zama hu'na zamo'a agafa'a omne'neanki, amne zaho'ma avaririankna nehune.
18 And I have hated all my labor that I labor at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me.
E'ina hu'negu maka zama ama mopafima amuho'ma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zankura, tusi'za huno navresra hie. Na'ankure ete ru vahe azampi maka zama amuho hu'na eri fore'ma hua zantamina atre'na vu'zanku navesra hie.
19 And who knows whether he is wise or foolish? Yet he rules over all my labor that I have labored at, and that I have done wisely under the sun! This [is] also vanity.
Hagi nagri noma erisia nera, knare antahi'zane nepi, neginagi antahi'zane nepi, nagra antahi'na ke'na osu'noe. Hianagi maka zama amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma hu'noa zantamina, ana vahe'mo kegava hugahie. Na'ankure ana zantamina knare antahi'zanteti erifore hu'noe. E'inahu zamo'enana agafa'a omne'ne.
20 And I turned around to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor that I labored at under the sun.
E'ina hu'negu ama mopafima tusi amuhoma hu'na eri fore'ma nehua zantaminkura antahintahia hu'na namentintia nosue.
21 For there is a man whose labor [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who has not labored therein he gives it—his portion! Even this [is] vanity and a great evil.
Mago'a vahe'mo'za knare antahintahi zamireti'ene antahi'za zamireti'ene maka zantamina eri retro huntete'za, amuho hu'za erifore osu'naza vahetmimofo zamazampi ana zantamina nentaze. Ama ana zama kogeno'a agafa'a omnegeno rankefoza fore nehie.
22 For what has been to a man by all his labor, and by the thought of his heart that he labored at under the sun?
E'ina hu'neanki mago'mo'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eria zampintira naza erifore nehie?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart has not lain down; this [is] also vanity.
Na'ankure maka kna eri'zama eruna zamo'a ata zane, asunku zanena avreno eme neramigeno, kenage'ene feru'enena antahintahi timo'a eri'zana eri vava nehie. E'ina hu'neankino maka zamo'a agafa'a omne'ne.
24 There is nothing good in a man who eats, and has drunk, and has shown his soul good in his labor. This also I have seen that it [is] from the hand of God.
Amuhoma huno erifore'ma hia ne'zama neneno, tima neneno musenkasema hu'zamo'a mago'a zama hu'zana agatere'ne. E'i anama huno musema hu'zama ke'na antahi'nama huana, Anumzamofontegati ana zana ne-e.
25 For who eats and who hurries out more than I?
Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma azama osanigeno'a mago vahe'mo'a agra'a hankaverera ne'zana erifore huno neneno musena osugahie.
26 For to a man who [is] good before Him, He has given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He has given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this [is] vanity and distress of spirit.
Anumzamo'a agrama musema nehia zama nehaza vahera knare antahintahi zane, muse zanena nezmie. Hianagi kumi vahe'mo'zama feno vahe'ma nesazageno'a Anumzamo'a ana fenozmia erino agri'ma avesia avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe nezmie. E'i ana zamo'enena agafa'a omne'neankino amne zaho avaririaza nehie.
