Ecclesiastes 1
1 [the] words of Teacher [the] son of David king in Jerusalem.
Magi e weche mane jayalo ma wuod Daudi, mane ruodh Jerusalem owacho.
2 Futility of futilities he said Teacher futility of futilities everything [is] futility.
Jayalo wacho niya, “Ngima en gima nono! Chutho en gima nono! Gik moko duto onge tiendgi!”
3 What? profit [belongs] to humankind in all toil his that he toils under the sun.
En ohala mane ma dhano yudo kuom tije duto motiyo kendo mochandore godo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ?
4 A generation [is] going and a generation [is] coming and the earth for ever [is] continuing.
Tiengʼ ka tiengʼ biro kendo kadho, to piny to osiko mana kaka en.
5 And it rises the sun and it goes the sun and to place its [is] panting [is] rising it there.
Chiengʼ wuok kendo chiengʼ podho, kendo oridore piyo piyo kodok kuma owuokie.
6 [it is] going To [the] south and [it is] circling to [the] north circling around - circling around [is] going the wind and on circuits its [is] returning the wind.
Yamo futo kochiko yo milambo kendo okudho kochiko yo nyandwat; odhi kolworore, ndalo duto koduogo kare mapile.
7 All the rivers [are] going to the sea and the sea not it [is] full to [the] place where the rivers [are] going there they [are] returning to go.
Aore duto mol kadhi ei nam, to kata kamano nam ok pongʼ. To kuma aorego oaye, kanyo ema gidwogoe.
8 All things [are] wearisome not he is able anyone to speak [them] not it is satisfied an eye by seeing and not it is filled an ear from hearing.
Gik moko duto gin tingʼ mapek, moingo ngʼato wacho. Kata obedo ni wangʼ neno, to gik moneno ok rome, to it bende kata obedo ni owinjo gik moko, to gik mowinjo ok rome.
9 Whatever it has been it [is] which will be and whatever (which has been done *L(abh)*) it [is] which will be done and there not [is] any new [thing] under the sun.
Gima osebedo biro bedo kendo, gima osetim ibiro tim kendo; kendo onge gino manyien e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ.
10 [is] there? Anything that anyone will say see this [is] new it already it has been to ancient times which it was from to before us.
Bende nitiere gima ngʼato nyalo wacho ni ma en gima nyien? Ooyo ok gima nyien, nimar nyalo bedo ni gino nosetimore chon kane pok onywolwa.
11 There not [is] remembrance of the former [things] and also of the subsequent [things] that they will be not it will be of them remembrance with who will be to the later [time].
Joma chon ok par ngangʼ mana kaka tiengʼni bende, ok nopar gi joma biro luwo bangʼ-gi.
12 I Teacher I was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
An, jayalo, asebedo ruodh Israel kadak Jerusalem.
13 And I gave heart my to study and to discover by wisdom on all that it has been done under the heavens it - [is] a task of evil [which] he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Ne achiwora mondo atiegra kendo anon matut kod rieko gigo duto mitimo e bwo polo. Mano doko tingʼ mapek ma Nyasaye oyieyo kuom ji!
14 I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun and there! everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
Aseneno gik moko mitimo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ, giduto gionge tiendgi, kendo gichalo mana yamo.
15 [something] bent Not it is able to become straight and something missing not it is able to be numbered.
Gima odol ok nyal rie; kendo gima onge ok kwan.
16 I have spoken I with heart my saying I here! I have made great and I have increased wisdom above every [one] who he was before me over Jerusalem and heart my it has seen much wisdom and knowledge.
Ne aparo e chunya niya, “Koro, asedongo kendo amedora e rieko moloyo ngʼato angʼata moserito Jerusalem motelona; kendo asebedo gi lony e rieko kod ngʼeyo.”
17 And I gave! heart my to know wisdom and to know madness and folly I knew that also this it [is] a striving of wind.
Eka ne achiwora ne winjo tiend rieko, ngʼeyo pogruok manie kind rieko, memruok kod fuwo, to ne afwenyo ni magi gin mana lawo bangʼ yamo mafuto.
18 For [is] in abundance of wisdom abundance of frustration so someone may increase knowledge he will increase pain.
Nimar ne afwenyo ni rieko mangʼeny kelo kuyo; kendo ngʼeyo mangʼeny medo mana chuny lit.
