< Ecclesiastes 1 >
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Rempi humi ne' Deviti nemofo Jerusalemi kumate kini ne' Solomoni naneke.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
Rempi humi ne'mo'a huno, Mika zamofona agafa'a omaneno! Agafa'a omanegeno, ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omnetfa hu'ne.
3 What profit hath a man by all his labor with which he wearieth himself under the sun?
Vahe'mo'za tusi amuho hu'za ama mopafina eri'zana e'nerizanagi, ana eri'zampintira na'a erifore hugahaze?
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; while the earth abideth for ever.
Vahera efore huno frino nevanigeno, ru vahera ete efore huno frino nevianagi, ama mopamo'a mevava huno ne-e.
5 The sun riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteneth to the place whence it arose.
Maka nanterana zagemo'a hanatiteno evuno kinagama segeno'a ufreteno, ete agareno anama hanati'nere enevie.
6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about to the north; round and round goeth the wind, and returneth to its circuits.
Hagi zaho'ma eriana sauti kazigati erino vuno ome arugagino, ete noti kaziga vuno ome arugagino, zahora erino kagigagi nehie.
7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place whence the rivers come, thither they return.
Hagi maka timo'za kampui hanatite'za vu'za hagerimpinke unefrazanagi, hagerimo'a avira note. Hagi ana timo'za hagerimpima vute'za, ete anama hanati'nazareti eme aru hanati'za ete hagerimpina nevaze.
8 All words become weary; man cannot express it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
Maka ama mopafi zantaminku'ma antahintahima hu'zamo'a, tusiza huno tavesra nehiankita hu amara hugara nosune. Tavumo'a rama'a zantmi negeanagi, mago'ane ke'nia agesage nehie. Anahukna huno tagesamo'a rama'a keaga nentahianagi, mago'ane antahinia agesage nehie.
9 The thing that hath been is that which shall be, and that which hath been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.
Hakare zama menima fore'ma nehia zana, korapa fore hu'nea zamo fore nehie. E'ina hu'neankino ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantamina magora kasefa zana forera nosianki, korapa fore hu'nea zantmi fore nehie.
10 Is there any thing of which one may say, “Behold, this is new”? It was long ago, in the times which were before us.
Mago'mo'a huno amazana kasefaza fore nehianki keho huno osugahie. Na'ankure mika'zana korapa fore osu'nonkeno fore hu'neaza ete fore nehie.
11 There is no remembrance of former things, and of things that are to come there shall be no remembrance to those who live afterwards.
Korapama fore'ma hu'nea zantaminkura antahintahia osu zamagenekanize. Hanki henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za menima nehu'na zantaminkura zamage akanigahaze.
12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel at Jerusalem.
Nagra Rempi huzmi ne'mo'na Jerusalemi kumate mani'ne'na, Israeli vahe kinia mani'na kegava huzmante'noe.
13 And I gave my mind to seek and to search out with wisdom concerning all things which are done under heaven; an evil business, which God hath given to the sons of men, in which to employ themselves.
Ama mopafima me'nege'zama maka zama nehaza zana, nagra knare antahi'zanteti, refako hu'na ke'na antahi'nama huana Anumzamo'a tusi knaza vahe'mofona kofintegeno, knazana e'nerize.
14 I saw all the things which are done under the sun; and, behold, it was all vanity, and striving after wind.
Mika zana ama mopafima nehaza zama koana, agafa'a omane'za nehazanki'za, zaho'ma avararizankna nehaze.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
Kazakinesia zana azeri fatgo osugahane. Hagi omne'nenia zana ohamprigahane.
16 I communed with my heart, saying, “Behold, I have gained more and greater wisdom than all who have been before me at Jerusalem; yea, my mind hath seen much wisdom and knowledge.”
Nagra'agura amanage hu'na hu'noe, mika Jerusalemi kumate'ma efore'ma hu'za kinima mani'ne'za vahe'ma kegavama huzmante'naza, kini vahetmina zamagatere'na nagra knare antahi'zana eri'noe. Kote'ma mani'zama e'naza kini vahetmina zamagatere'na, rama'a knare antahi'zane, antahintahizanena eri'noe.
17 And I gave my mind to know wisdom, and to know senselessness and folly; I perceived that this also is striving after wind.
Ana hute'na ete knare antahi'zane neginagi antahi'zane erinte'na refko hu'na ke'noanagi, e'i ana zampinti'ma ke'na eri fore'ma huana, e'i ana zamo'enena zaho'ma arotagoma hiankna hu'ne.
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Na'ankure rama'a knare antahintahima eri zamo'a rama'a kasu zampi manigahane, mago'anema rama'a antahintahi zama eri'zamo'a anahukna hunka mago'ane mareri agatere kasunku zampi manigahane.
