Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep your feet when you go to a house of God, and draw near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for they do not know they do evil.
Ambeno ty lia’o mb’añ’anjomban’ añahare mb’eo, harineo hijanjiñe’o, Hàmake izay ta te mañenga ty soro’ o seretseo, ie tsy apota’e te manao raty.
2 Do not cause your mouth to hurry, and do not let your heart hurry to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and you on the earth, therefore let your words be few.
Ko meke am-palie, naho ko malisa an-tro’o ty hisaontsy ndra inoñe aman’ Añahare: fa an-dindiñe ao t’i Andrianañahare, ihe an-tane atoy, aa le anò tsy ampeampe o enta’oo.
3 For the dream has come by abundance of business, and the voice of a fool by abundance of words.
Mahavy nofy ty fimaneam-pitoloñañe; fe fohiñe ami’ty hamaron-tsaontsi’e ty feo’ i gegey.
4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to complete it, for there is no pleasure in fools; that which you vow—complete.
Ihe mifanta aman’ Añahare, ko malaoñe hañavake; fa tsy ifalea’e ty dagola: ondroho i nifantà’oy.
5 Better that you do not vow, than that you vow and do not complete.
Hàmake t’ie tsy mifanta, ta te mifanta tsy mañavake.
6 Do not permit your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger that it [is] ignorance. Why is God angry because of your voice and has destroyed the work of your hands?
Ko metè’o hañakeo azo ty vava’o; le ko manao amy Irakey te nilosotse: fa ino ty hiviñeran’ Añahare amy feo’oy, handrotsaha’e o satan-taña’oo?
7 For in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; but fear God.
Fa hakafoahañe ty halàko nofy naho ty hamaro saontsy: mone mañeveña aman’Añahare.
8 If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness you see in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones [are] over them.
Ie isa’o ty famorekekeañe o rarakeo, naho ty fampitavanan-jo naho hatò ampariparitse añe, ko ilatsa’o: fa jilove’ i mpifelek’ azey ty mpifehe vaho ambone ka ty bei’iareo.
9 And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.
Amy te itraofa’ iabikey ty tombo’ i taney: toe mitoroñe i mpanjakay i tetekey.
10 Whoever is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is] vanity.
Tsy mahaeneñe ty mpitea-vola ty vola; vaho ty mpikoko firegoregoañe t’ie miegoego: hakafoahañe ka izay.
11 In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?
Ie mitobake ty havokarañe, maro ka o mampibotsek’ azeo: aa le ino ty tombo’e ho a i tompo’ey ta te ho sambae’e am-pihaino avao?
12 Sweet [is] the sleep of the laborer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not permitting him to sleep.
Mamy ty firota’ ty mpifanehake, ndra te kede ty kamae’e ndra te bey: fe tsy apo’e hirotse ty havontsiña’ i mpañalealey.
13 There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.
Eo ty haratiañe manivontivoñe nitreako ambane’ i àndroy, te mijoy ty mpañefoefo o vara ahaja’eo.
14 And that wealth has been lost in an evil business, and he has begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!
Ie nikapaike i varay, amy te navaridì’e ami’ty tsy vara, le nahatoly ana-dahy f’ie an-tañam-polo.
15 As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turns back to go as he came, and he does not take away anything of his labor, that goes in his hand.
Hambañe amy niboaha’e an-kovin-drene’ey, t’ie hiboridañe ka te himpoly, ndra loli’e tsy ho tintinem-pità’e amy fitromaha’ey.
16 And this also [is] a painful evil, just as he came, so he goes, and what advantage [is] to him who labors for wind?
Haratiañe manivontivoñe ka izay, te manahake ty nitolia’e ty himpolia’e: aa le ino ty tombo’ ty fitromahañe hahazoañe tioke?
17 He also consumes all his days in darkness, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.
Mikama añ’ieñe ao amo hene andro’eo, amy t’ie lako haemberañe naho hasilofañe vaho habosehañe.
18 Behold, that which I have seen: [It is] good, because beautiful, to eat, and to drink, and to see good in all one’s labor that he labors at under the sun, the number of the days of his life that God has given to him, for it [is] his portion.
Ingo, ty nitreako ho soa naho mañeva aze, t’ie mikama naho mitohoke vaho hifale ami’ty hasoa’ i tolon-draha itoloña’e ambane’ i àndroy amo andro tsy ampeampe iaiña’eo, o natolon’ Añahare azeo: fa izay ty anjara’e.
19 Every man also to whom God has given wealth and riches, and has given him power to eat of it, and to accept his portion, and to rejoice in his labor, this is a gift of God.
Naho ondaty nitoloran’ Añahare vara naho hanaña le nimea’e lily hikama naho handrambe anjara, vaho hirebek’ amy nifanehafa’ey; toe falalàn’ Añahare izay.
20 For he does not much remember the days of his life, for God is answering through the joy of his heart.
Le tsy beteke haereñere’e o andro iveloma’eo, amy t’ie ampitoloñen’ Añahare an-kafalean-troke.
