Ecclesiastes 7

1 Better [is] a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth.

Knare avu'ava'ma hu zamofo zago'amo'a, marerirfa mnanentake masavena agatere'ne. Vahe'ma fri knamo'a, vahe'ma kasente kna agatere'ne.

2 Better to go to a house of mourning, Than to go to a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living lays [it] to his heart.

Tahunte'ma vu knamo'a tusi ne'zama kreno neneno musema hu nompima vu'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure maka vahera fri vaheke mani'nonanki, amnema mani'nona vahe'mota tagera okanisune.

3 Better [is] sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becomes better.

Asunku'ma hu'zamo, kiza zokago'ma hu'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure asunku'ma hu'zamo'a, tagu'a tazeri ani higeta, ruzahu ruzahu avu'ava'ma hu'zana antahita keta nehune.

4 The heart of the wise [is] in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a vahe'ma fri'negeno'ma asunku'ma huno mania nontega agu'amo'a nemane. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a musema nehaza nontega agu'amo'a nemane.

5 Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than [for] a man to hear a song of fools,

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'ma hanave kema huno vahe'ma azeri fatgohu kema antahi'zamo, neginagi vahe'mo'ma zagame'ma nehia zama antahi'zana agatere'ne.

6 For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So [is] the laughter of a fool, even this [is] vanity.

Neginagi vahe'mofo kiza zokago kemo'a, ne'zama kre'nea kavomofo henka kazigama ave'ave trazanuma tevema hugre'negeno'ma trage raragema hiaza nehie. Ama ana zamo'a agafa'a omnetfa hu'ne.

7 Surely oppression makes the wise mad, And a gift destroys the heart.

Vahe'ma knama amino azeri havizama hu'zamo'a, knare antahi'zane vahera azeri neginagi vahe nese. Anahu kna huno mago'zama huntenogu'ma, zagoma atesino masavema hu zamo'a, vahe'mofo agu'a azeri haviza nehie.

8 Better [is] the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.

Eri'zama eri afinare'ma ate zamo, eri'zama eri agafama hu zana agateregeno, arimpa fru huno mani'neno avegama ante'zamo avufga rama hu'zana agatere'ne.

9 Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools rests.

Ame'amara hunka krimpa oho. Na'ankure ame'ama'ma huno arimpama ahe zana neginagi vahe'mofo avu'ava me'ne.

10 Do not say, “What was it, That the former days were better than these?” For you have not asked wisely of this.

Nahigeno korapa'ma mani'nama e'noa knamo'a, menima mani'noa kna agatere'ne hunka kagenoka osuo. Na'ankure e'i knare antahi'zantetira kagenoka osugahane.

11 Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance, And an advantage [it is] to those beholding the sun.

Knare antahi'zanteti'ma erisanti'ma hare'zamo'a knare hu'neankino, nomani'zama maninka vanampina knare huno kaza hugahie.

12 For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defense, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She revives her possessors.

Zagomo'ma kazama nehiankna huno, knare antahi'zamo'a kazahugahie. Hianagi knare antahi'zamoke kagura vazigahie.

13 See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked?

Anumzamo'ma tro'ma hu'nea zantamina kenka antahinka huo. Hagi kazaki zantamima Agrama tro'ma hunte'nea zantamina, iza eri fatgo hugara hu'ne?

14 In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of calamity consider: God has also made this alongside of that, To the intent that man does not find anything after him.

Maka zama hana zantmimo'ma knare'ma hania knafina, muse huo. Hianagi maka zamo'ma amuhoma hanigenka, kenka antahinkama hananana Anumzamoke knare knane, havi knanena negamie. E'ina hu'negu mago'mo'a okima fore'ma hania zana keno antahinora osu'ne.

15 The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrongdoer prolonging [himself] in his wrong.

Agafa'a omane nomanizama mani'na e'nofina, ama tare'za ke'noe. Fatgo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za ame hu'za nefrizageno, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, zazate maniza nevu'za kefo avu'avara hu'za nevaze.

16 Do not be over-righteous, nor show yourself too wise, why are you desolate?

Hagi fatgo avu'ava zana agaterenka fatgo vahetfa manisue hunka nosunka, knare antahi'zane vahera agaterena, knare antahi'zane vahetfa manisue hunka osuo. Na'ankure e'inahu kavukva zamo'a, kazeri haviza hugahie.

17 Do not do much wrong, neither be a fool, why do you die within your time?

Kagra kefo avu'ava'ene vahera agaterenka kefo avu'ava zana nehunka, neginagi vahera oso. Nahanigenka kagra kasefa vahera mani'nenka ame'amara hunka frigahane?

18 [It is] good that you lay hold on this, and also, do not withdraw your hand from that, for whoever is fearing God goes out with them all.

Anantarega koro kema antahino amage'ma ante'zamo knarera hu'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofoma koroma hunteno, amage'ma ante zana anantarega avu'avazampi ne-e.

19 The wisdom gives strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.

Mago knare antahi'zane ne'mofo hankavemo'a, 10ni'a ugagota kva vahetmima rankuma'ma kegavama hu'naza vahe'mokizmi hankavea agatere'ne.

20 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that does good and does not sin.

Magore huno ama mopafina fatgo huno'ma mani'neno kumi'ma osu vahera omani'ne.

21 Also to all the words that they speak do not give your heart, that you do not hear your servant reviling you.

Ana maka nanekema vahe'mo'zama hanaza nanekea kagesa antenka ontahio, aru eri'za vahekamo huhaviza hugante'nia naneke antahigahane.

22 For many times also has your heart known that you yourself have also reviled others.

Na'ankure aru vahe'ma hu havizama hunentana zana, kagra kenka antahinka hu'nane.

23 All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, “I am wise,” and it [is] far from me.

Ama ana maka zana knare antahizanteti refko hu'na kete'na amanage nagra'agura hu'noe, knare antahi'zane vahe mani'nue hu'na huanagi, nagra knarera osu'noe.

24 Far off [is] that which has been, and deep, deep, who finds it?

Knare antahi'zamo'a afete me'neankino, hakeno'ma eri'amo'a tusi amuho hu'ne.

25 I have turned around, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and the madness of foolishness.

Maka kaziga knare antahi'zankura hake'na vano nehu'na, nagafare maka zana fore huno me'ne hu'na hakenaku antahintahia retro hu'noe. Nagafare vahe'mo'za kefo avu'avara nehu'za neginagi avu'avara nehaze hu'na ke'na antahi'na hunaku nagesa antahi'noe.

26 And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good before God escapes from her, but the sinner is captured by her.

Mago zama ke'na eri fore'ma huana, mago'ma kefo zantfa huno fri'zama agatere'neana, a'nemofo krifumo'e. A'nemofo agu'amo'a krifugna hu'neankino, fru fru azamo'a vahe'ma kinama hunentea seni nofi kna hu'ne. Anumzamo'ma musema nehiazama nehia vahe'mo'a, ana akura koro fregahie. Hianagi kumi'ma nehia vahe'mofona, kati higeno aze'nerie.

27 See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason

Rempima humi ne'mo'a huno, maka zamofo agafa'ama hakena erifore'ma hunakura, mago mago zamofo agafa'a hakena ketere hu'noe.

28 (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found.

Anama hake'nama nevu'na mago zana onke'noanagi, 1 tauseni'a vahepina, fatgo avu'ava'ene nera magoke ke'noe. Hianagi magore hu'na fatgo avu'ava'ene ara onketfa hu'noe.

29 See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they have sought out many inventions.

Magoke zama ke'na erifore'ma huana amane, Anumzamo'a fatgo vahe tro hunte'neanagi, vahe'mo'a rama'a kankamu retro huno kefo avu'avara nehie.
