Ecclesiastes 3
1 For, every thing, there is a season, —and a time for every pursuit, under the heavens: —
Ma nukewa ma sikyak fin faclu sikyak fal nu ke pacl la.
2 A time to be born, and a time to die, —A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted;
Oasr pacl in isusla, ac pacl in misa, Oasr pacl in yukwiya, ac pacl in fusak.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal, —A time to break down, and a time to build up;
Oasr pacl in uniya, ac pacl in akkeye, Oasr pacl in kunausla, ac pacl in musaeak.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh, —A time to wail, and a time to dance for joy;
Oasr pacl in tung, ac pacl in israsr, Oasr pacl in mwemelil, ac pacl in onsrosro.
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to heap up stones, —A time to embrace, and a time to be far from loving embrace;
Oasr pacl in sisalik eot uh, ac pacl in eisani eot uh, Oasr pacl in kafis, ac pacl in tia kafis.
6 A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost, —A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Oasr pacl in suk, ac pacl in tila suk, Oasr pacl in liyaung, ac pacl in sisla.
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew, —A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
Oasr pacl in seya, ac pacl in twani, Oasr pacl in kaskas, ac pacl in tia kaskas.
8 A time to love and a time to hate, —A time of war, and a time of peace.
Oasr pacl nu ke lungse, ac pacl nu ke srunga, Oasr pacl nu ke mweun, ac pacl nu ke misla.
9 What profit hath he that worketh, in that wherein, himself, hath toiled?
Mea sie mwet el eis ke orekma nukewa lal?
10 I looked at the employment which God hath given to the sons of men, to work therein:
Nga etu ke mwe utuk toasr ma God El filiya facsr.
11 Everything, hath he made beautiful in its own time, —also, intelligence, hath he put in their heart, without which men could not find out the work which God hath wrought, from the beginning even unto the end.
El oaki pacl fal nu ke ma nukewa. El oaki nu sesr tuh kut in kena etu ke pacl fahsru, tusruktu El tia ase nu sesr in etu nufon ma El oru.
12 I know that there is no blessedness in them, —save to be glad, and to do well with one’s life.
Ke ma inge nga akilen lah ma kut ku in oru pa in engan ac oru wo ke kuiyasr nufon ke lusen moul lasr uh.
13 Though indeed, that any man should eat and drink, and see blessedness, in all his toil, it is, the gift of God.
Kut nukewa enenu in mongo ac nim ac engankin ma kut orekma nu kac. Ma inge mwe kite lun God.
14 I know, that, whatsoever God doeth, the same, shall be age-abiding, unto it, there is nothing to add, and, from it, there is nothing to take away, —and, God, hath done it, that men should stand in awe before him.
Nga etu lah ma nukewa God El oru uh ac oan ma pahtpat. Kut koflana laesla kutena ma nu kac ku eisla kutena ma liki. Ac God El oru ouinge tuh mwet uh in sunakunul ac akfulatyal.
15 That which was, already, had been, and, that which shall be, already, shall have been, —but, God, seeketh that which hath been chased away.
Kutena ma su sikyak tari, sikyak pac in pacl inge. Kutena ma su ac fah sikyak in pacl fahsru, nuna sikyak tari meet. God El oru tuh ma inge in sikyak na sikyak.
16 Then, again, I saw under the sun, the place of justice, that there was lawlessness, and, the place of righteousness, that there was lawlessness.
Sayen ma inge, nga liye pac mu fin facl se inge, yen ma nununku suwohs ac pwaye eneneyuk in oasr we, ma koluk ac sesuwos pa oasr we.
17 Said, I, in my heart, Both the righteous and the lawless, will God judge, —for [there will be] a time for every pursuit, and concerning every work—there.
Nga fahk nu sik sifacna, “God El fah nununku mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk oana sie, mweyen ma nukewa ac kain in mukuikui nukewa fah sikyak in pacl fal la.”
18 Said, I, in my heart, as concerning the sons of men, That God was minded to prove them, —and that they might see, that they were beasts, of themselves.
Nga nunku tuh God El srike kut in akkalemye nu sesr lah kut tia sie na liki ma orakrak uh.
19 For, as regardeth the destiny of the sons of men and the destiny of beasts, one fate, have they, as dieth the one, so, dieth the other, and, one spirit, have they all, —and, the pre-eminence of man over beast, is nothing, for, all, were vanity:
Ma kalem uh pa saflaiyen mwet uh, ac ma orakrak uh, oana sie. Elos kewa ma orekla ac oasr momong la, ac kewana ac misa. Mwet uh tia fulat liki ma orakrak uh, mweyen moul uh ma lusrongten nu seltal kewa.
20 all, go unto one place, —all, came from the dust, and all, return to the dust.
Elos kewa ac som nu ke yen sefanna — nu infohk uh. Eltal na kewa orekla ke fohk, ac eltal na kewa fah sifil ekla nu kac.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of men, whether it, ascendeth, above, —or the spirit of the beast, whether it, descendeth, below, to the earth?
Su ku in etu na pwaye lah ngunin mwet uh ac sowak nu lucng, ac ngunin ma orakrak uh ac som nu ten nu infohk uh?
22 So I saw, that there was nothing better than that a man should be glad in his works, for, that, is his portion, —for who can bring him in, to look upon that which shall be after him?
Ouinge nga akilen lah ma se wo emeet kut in oru uh pa in engankin ma kut orala. Wangin pac ma saya. Kut tia ku in etu lah mea ac fah sikyak tukun kut misa.
