< Ecclesiastes 4 >

1 Then again, I, considered all the oppressive deeds which were done under the sun, —and lo! the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter, and, on the side of their oppressing, is power, and they have no comforter.
Amalalu, na da defele hame hamobe hou osobo bagadega bu ba: i. Gasa fi dunu da asaboi dunuma nimi bagade hamobeba: le, asaboi dunu da dinanu, fidisu dunu hame ba: i. Bai gasa fi dunu, ili fawane da gasa gala.
2 So, I, pronounced happy the dead, who were, already, dead, —more than the living, who were living, still;
Na da bogoi dunu ilima mudasa. Bai bogosu hou da esalusu hou baligisa.
3 and, as better than both, him who had not yet come into being, —who had not seen the vexatious work, which was done under the sun.
Be dunu amo da hame lalelegei da defele hame hamobe hou osobo bagadega gala, amo hame ba: beba: le, ilia hou da esalebe dunu ilia hou baligisa.
4 Then saw, I, all the toil and all the skill of the work, that, for this, a man was envied of his neighbour, —even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.
Hou eno na ba: le, dawa: lai dagoi. Abuliba: le dunu ilia da hawa: gasa bagadedafa hamosala: , amola liligi huluane noga: i enoenoia hahamosala: ? Bai agoane, ilia da ilia na: iyado dunu ilia gagui amo mudale ba: sa. Be amo hou da hamedeidafa. Amo da fo mabe se bobogebe defele gala.
5 The dullard, claspeth his hands, and consumeth his own flesh.
Dunu oda ilia da agoane sia: sa, dunu hihia: me hawa: afaewane mae hamone, hina: lobo sogoba: digili udigili esalebeba: le bogomu, agoaiwane dunu da gagaoui dunu.
6 Better a handful—with quietness, —than both hands, full—with toil, and feeding on wind.
Amo sia: da dafawanela: ? Na hame dawa: Be amo na dawa: Fonobahadi fawane gaguli amola dogo olofoiwane esalumu da defea. Be eso huluane fo lamusa: ne, lobo aduna amoga mae helefili hawa: hamonanumu da hamedei liligi agoane.
7 Then again, I, looked at a vain thing under the sun: —
Na da osobo bagade esalusu ganodini, eno hamedei liligi ba: i dagoi.
8 Here is one, without a second, even son or brother, he hath none, yet is there no end to all his toil, even his eye, is not satisfied with riches, —neither [saith he] For whom, am I toiling, and letting my soul want good? Even this, was vanity, yea a vexatious employment, it was!
Dunu afaedafa e da hisuwane fifi lala. E da mano hame amola ea eya ola hamedei, be amowane e da eso huluane hawa: hamonana. Be e da bagade gaguiba: le hame nodosa. E da nowama gasa bagade hawa: hamosala: ? Amola e da abuliba: le hahawane hou higasala: ? Amo hou amola da hamedei liligi. Agoaiwane esalusu da noga: i hame amola da: i dioi agoane.
9 Better are two, than one, —in that they have a good reward for their toil.
Dunu aduna da dafululi hawa: hamomu da defea. Bai dunu aduna da gilisili hawa: hamosea, ela hawa: hamoi da baligili ba: mu.
10 For, if the one should fall, [the other] would raise up his companion, —but alas! for him who is alone when he falleth, with no second to raise him up!
Dunu ea sama afae amo dafasea bu ea sama eno amoea fidili lobolele wa: lesimu. Be dunu afae da e hisu dafasea, e da fidisu dunu hame ba: mu.
11 Moreover, if two lie together, then have they warmth, —but how can, one, have warmth?
Dunu aduna ela da anegagisia, ela gilisili sogobale gola diasea ela da dogoloi ba: mu. Be dia disu da gola diasea, di da habodane dogolole denesima: bela: ?
12 And, though an enemy should prevail against one, two, might make a stand before him, —and, a threefold cord, cannot soon be broken.
Dunu afaedafa ea hisu ha lai dunuma gegesea e da hame hasanasimu. Be ha lai dunu ilia adunama doagala: sea, ilia gasaga da ela hame baligimu. Efe gomei osodayale hamoi amoea da hedolo hame damumu.
13 Better a boy poor and wise, —than a king, old and stupid, who knoweth not how to take warning any longer.
14 For, out of prison, came he forth to reign, yea, even in his own kingdom, was he born poor.
Hame gagui dunu da heda: le, bu hi fifi asi gala ganodini hina bagade hou lamusa: dawa: Amola se dabe iasu diasu hamoi dunu da se dabe iasu diasu fisili, hina bagade hou lamusa: dawa: Be e da da: i hamosea, fada: i sia: ne iasu higasea, e da gagaoui agoai. Ayeligi dunu amo da hame gaguiwane be noga: i dawa: lai, e da amo dunu ea hou baligisa.
15 I saw all the living, who were going hither and thither under the sun, —[that they were] with the boy who was to be the second, who was to stand in the other’s place: —
Na dawa: i dagoi, dunu huluane nowa osobo bagade goe ganodini esalebe, amo fi ganodini da goi ayeligi afae, e da fa: no hina bagade ea sogebi lamu.
16 There was no end to all the people, to all before whom he came, yet, they who should come later, would not rejoice in him, —surely, even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.
Hina bagade da dunu idimu hamedei amo ouligimusa: dawa: Be e da bogosea, dunu da ea hamobeba: le hame nodomu. Amo hou da bai hamedei. Hamedeiba: le, amo hou da gagaoui dunu fo mabe se bobogebe agoai ba: sa.
