Ecclesiastes 12
1 Yet remember thy Creator, in the days of thy vigour, —or ever come in, the days of discomfort, and the years arrive, in which thou shalt say—I have, in them, no pleasure;
Laglagipem met ti Namarsua kenka kadagiti aldaw ti kinaagtutubom, sakbay a dumteng dagiti aldaw ti rigrigat, ken sakbay a dumteng dagiti tawen inton ibagam, “Awanen ti pakaragsakak kadakuada,”
2 Or ever be darkened—the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, —and the clouds return after a downpour of rain;
sakbay a sumipnget ti lawag ti init, ti bulan ken dagiti bituen, ken agsubli dagiti nangingisit nga ulep kalpasan ti tudo.
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the men of might bow themselves, —and the grinders cease because they are few, and they who look through the windows are darkened;
Daytanto ti tiempo inton agtigerger dagiti guardia ti palasio, ken malugpi dagiti napipigsa a lallaki ken agsardeng dagiti babbai nga aggilgiling gapu ta bassitda, ken saanen a makakita a silalawag dagiti tumantan-aw kadagiti tawa.
4 And the doors in the street be closed, when the sound of the mill become low, —and one rise at the chirp of a small bird, and low-voiced be all the daughters of song;
Daytanto ti tiempo inton maiserra dagiti ruangan kadagiti dalan, ken agsardeng ti uni ti panaggilgiling, inton makigtot dagiti lallaki iti uni ti billit, ken agpukaw ti timek ti panagkankanta dagiti ubbing a babbai.
5 Yea, at what is high, they be in fear, and there be, terrors, in the way, and the almond be rejected, and the grasshopper drag itself along, and desire perish, —for man is going to his age-abiding home, when the wailers shall go round in the streets;
Daytanto ti tiempo inton agbuteng dagiti lallaki kadagiti nangangato a lugar ken kadagiti peggad iti dalan ken inton agsabong ti kayo ti almendro, ken inton guyoden dagiti dudon dagiti bagbagida, ken inton awanen ti kadawyan a tarigagay. Kalpasanna, mapanen ti tao iti agnanayon a pagtaenganna ket sumalog iti kalsada dagiti agladladingit.
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, —or the bucket by the fountain be shivered, or the wheel at the well be broken;
Lagipem ti Namarsua kenka sakbay a mapugsat ti pirak a tali, wenno marumek ti balitok a mallukong, wenno maburak ti kapitera idiay ubbog wenno madadael ti kalo a maus-usar a pangala iti danum idiay bubon,
7 And the dust return to the earth, as it was, —and, the spirit, return unto God, who gave it.
sakbay nga agsubli ti tapuk iti daga a naggapuanna, ken agsubli ti espiritu iti Dios a nangted iti daytoy.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the Proclaimer, all, is vanity.
“Maysa nga angep ti alingasaw” kuna ti Manursuro, “amin a banag ket kasla agpukpukaw nga alingasaw.”
9 Besides that, the Proclaimer being wise, —still further taught knowledge unto the people, and weighed and searched, arranged proverbs in abundance.
Nasirib ti Manursuro, ken sinurwanna ti pannakaammo dagiti tattao. Inadal ken pinanunot ken inurnosna dagiti adu a proberbio.
10 The Proclaimer sought to find out words giving delight, and to note down rightly, the words of truth.
Sinukimat ti Manursuro nga isurat babaen kadagiti nalawag, nalinteg a sasao ti kinapudno.
11 The words of the wise, are as goads, yea, as driven nails, their well-ordered sayings, —given from one shepherd.
Kasla sarukod a natirad dagiti sasao ti nasirib a tao. Kasla kadagiti lansa a naipalok a nauneg dagiti sasao dagiti nalalaing kadagiti naurnong a proverbioda, nga insuro ti maysa a pastor.
12 And besides, from them, my son, be admonished, —Of making many books, there is no end, and, much study, is a weariness of the flesh.
Annakko ammoem pay ti maysa a banag; ti panagar-aramid kadagiti libro, nga awan pagpatinggaanna. Makabannog iti bagi ti adu a panagad-adal.
13 The conclusion of the matter—the whole, let us hear, —Towards God, be reverent, and, his commandments, observe, for, this, [concerneth] all mankind.
Ti pagleppasanna, kalpasan a mangngegan amin a banbanag, ket masapul nga agbutengka iti Dios ken salimetmetam dagiti bilinna, ta daytoy ti sibubukel a pagrebbengan ti sangkataoan.
14 For, every work, will God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, —whether good, or evil.
Ta iyegto ti Dios ti amin nga aramid iti pannakaukom, a kadua dagiti tunggal nakalemmeng a banag, nasayaat man daytoy wenno dakes.
