Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said I in heart my come! please let me put to [the] test you with pleasure and look on good and there! also it [was] futility.
Namilobelaki: « Yaka sik’oyo; nakomekisa yo bilengi mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo! » Nzokande, yango mpe ezalaki kaka pamba.
2 Of laughter I said [it is] folly and of pleasure what? this [is it] doing.
Na tina na koseka, nalobaki: « Ezali na yango kaka bozoba! » Bongo na tina na elengi, nalobaki: « Esalaka nini? »
3 I searched in heart my to gratify with wine flesh my and heart my [was] guiding with wisdom and to take hold on folly until that I saw where? this [is] good for [the] children of humankind which they will do under the heavens [the] number of [the] days of lives their.
Wana motema na ngai ezalaki nanu kokamba ngai na bwanya, nazwaki mokano ya komipesa na masanga ya vino mpe na makambo ya bozoba. Nazalaki nde na posa ya kososola bolamu nini moto akoki kozwa na kosala bongo na se ya moyi, na mwa mikolo ya bomoi na ye.
4 I made great works my I built for myself houses I planted for myself vineyards.
Nazwaki mokano ya kosalisa misala minene: namitongelaki bandako minene mpe namilonelaki bilanga ya vino mpo na bomoi na ngai;
5 I made for myself gardens and parks and I planted in them tree[s] of every fruit.
nasalaki bilanga mpe nabongisaki bisika mpo na kolona banzete ya ndenge na ndenge, oyo ebotaka bambuma;
6 I made for myself pools of water to water from them a forest sprouting of trees.
natimolaki mpo na ngai moko, mabulu minene ya mayi mpo na kosopela banzete ya mike mayi.
7 I acquired [male] slaves and female slaves and sons of house he belonged to me also livestock herd[s] and flock[s] [surely] a multitude belonged to me more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.
Nasombaki bawumbu ya mibali mpe ya basi; kobakisa na motango ya bawumbu mosusu oyo babotamaki kati na ndako na ngai. Nazalaki mpe na bangombe, bantaba mpe bameme ebele koleka bakonzi nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi liboso na ngai.
8 I gathered for myself also silver and gold and treasure of kings and provinces I acquired for myself male singers and female singers and [the] delights of [the] children of humankind breast and breasts.
Nakongolaki mpo na ngai moko palata mpe wolo oyo ewutaki na bomengo ya bakonzi mpe ya bituka; nazwaki mpo na ngai bayembi ya basi mpe ya mibali, mpe oyo esepelisaka makasi mibali: mwasi mpe basi ebele ya kitoko.
9 And I became great and I increased more than any who was before me in Jerusalem also wisdom my it remained to me.
Nakomaki moto monene koleka bakonzi nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi liboso na ngai; kasi atako bongo, bwanya ezalaki kaka kotambolisa ngai.
10 And all that they asked eyes my not I withheld from them not I restrained heart my from any pleasure for heart my [was] joyful from all toil my and this it was reward my from all toil my.
Napimelaki miso na ngai eloko moko te oyo elulaki, napimelaki motema na ngai esengo moko te. Motema na ngai esepelaki na misala na ngai nyonso, mpe yango ezalaki lifuti ya mosala na ngai nyonso.
11 And I turned I on all works my that had done hands my and on the toil that I had toiled to do and there! everything [was] futility and striving of wind and there not [was] profit under the sun.
Boye, tango natali misala nyonso oyo maboko na ngai esalaki mpe pasi nyonso oyo namonaki mpo na kokokisa yango, namoni ete nyonso wana ezalaki kaka pamba, ezali lokola moto azali kolanda mopepe, ezali na yango na litomba moko te na se ya moyi.
12 And I turned I to consider wisdom and madness and folly for - what? [is] the person who will come after the king [that] which already people have done it.
Bongo, nabalolaki makanisi na ngai mpo na koyekola bwanya, bozoba mpe bolema. Eloko nini mokitani ya mokonzi akoki kosala, oyo eleki oyo esila kosalema?
13 And I saw I that there [is] advantage of wisdom more than folly like [the] advantage of light more than darkness.
Namonaki ete bwanya ezali malamu koleka bozoba, ndenge pole ezali malamu koleka molili.
14 The wise [person] eyes his [are] in head his and the fool in darkness [is] walking and I knew also I that fate one it will happen to all of them.
Moto ya bwanya ayebi epai azali kokende, kasi zoba atambolaka na molili; kasi nasosoli likambo moko: suka na bango mibale ekozala kaka ndenge moko.
15 And I said I in heart my like [the] fate of the fool also me it will happen to me and why? have I become wise I then excessively and I said in heart my that also this [is] futility.
Namilobelaki: « Suka ya zoba ekozala ndenge moko kaka na suka na ngai; sik’oyo, litomba nini ezali na moto ya kozala na bwanya mingi? » Namilobelaki: « Oyo mpe ezali kaka pamba. »
16 For there not [is] remembrance of the wise man with the fool for a long time in that already the days coming everything it has been forgotten and how! he will die the wise [person] with the fool.
Pamba te ezala moto ya bwanya to zoba, bakotikala kokanisa bango tango molayi te; mpe na mikolo ekoya, bato bakobosana bango mibale. Moto ya bwanya mpe akokufa lokola moto ya zoba.
17 And I hated life for [was] evil on me the work that was done under the sun for everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
Boye, nayinaki bomoi, pamba te misala oyo esalemaka na se ya moyi ezali mabe mpo na ngai. Nyonso wana ezali pamba, ezali lokola moto azali kolanda mopepe.
18 And I hated I all toil my that I [was] a laborer under the sun that I will leave it to the person who will be after me.
Nayinaki biloko nyonso oyo namonelaki pasi na se ya moyi, pamba te nakotika yango epai ya moto oyo akoya sima na ngai.
19 And who? [is] knowing ¿ a wise [person] will he be or? a fool so he may have power over all toil my that I have toiled and that I worked skillfully under the sun also this [is] futility.
Bongo, nani ayebi soki moto yango akozala moto ya bwanya to zoba? Nzokande, ye nde akozala na bokonzi na likolo ya misala nyonso oyo nabimiselaki motoki mpe mayele na ngai na se ya tango. Yango mpe ezali kaka pamba.
20 And I turned I to make despair heart my on all the toil that I have toiled under the sun.
Bongo, motema na ngai ekomaki kobungisa elikya likolo ya misala makasi oyo nazalaki kosala na se ya moyi.
21 If there [was] a person who toil his [was] with wisdom and with knowledge and with skill and to a person who not he toiled in it he will give it portion his also this [is] futility and an evil great.
Pamba te moto akoki kosala mosala na ye na bwanya, na boyebi mpe na ndenge esengeli penza; kasi akotika nyonso oyo azali na yango epai ya moto oyo amonelaki yango pasi te; yango mpe ezali pamba mpe mabe makasi.
22 For what? [is] becoming to the person in all toil his and in [the] striving of heart his that he [was] a laborer under the sun.
Litomba nini moto akoki kozwa na misala nyonso oyo asali mpe amonelaka pasi na se ya moyi?
23 For all days his [are] pains and [is] vexation task his also in the night not it rests heart his also this [is] futility it.
Mikolo nyonso ya mosala na ye ezali kaka pasi mpe komitungisa; ezala na butu, makanisi na ye ezalaka na kimia te; oyo mpe ezali kaka pamba.
24 There not [is] good for person that he will eat and he will drink and he will show self his good in toil his also this I have seen I that [is] from [the] hand of God it.
Eloko eleki malamu mpo na moto ezali kaka kolia, komela mpe kosepela na mosala na ye. Namoni ete oyo mpe ewuti na loboko na Nzambe;
25 For who? will he eat and who? will he enjoy outside from me.
pamba te soki Nzambe azalaki te, nani akoki kolia mpe kosepela?
26 For to anyone who [is] good before him he gives wisdom and knowledge and joy and to the sinner he gives a task to gather and to collect to give [it] to a [person] good before God also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
Nzambe apesaka bwanya, mayele mpe esengo na moto oyo asepelisaka Ye; kasi apesaka mosala ya kosangisa mpe ya konduka bomengo epai ya moto oyo asalaka masumu mpo ete atika yango na maboko ya moto oyo asepelisaka Nzambe. Wana mpe ezali pamba, ezali lokola moto azali kolanda mopepe.
