Ecclesiastes 1
1 [the] words of Teacher [the] son of David king in Jerusalem.
Ty taro’ i Mpañokey, ana’ i Davide, mpanjaka e Ierosalaime ao.
2 Futility of futilities he said Teacher futility of futilities everything [is] futility.
Hakafoahan-kafoake, hoe i Mpañokey, Hakafoahan-kafoake! Fonga kafoake!
3 What? profit [belongs] to humankind in all toil his that he toils under the sun.
Ino ty tombo’e ho a ondatio amo fifanehafa’e ambane’ i àndroy?
4 A generation [is] going and a generation [is] coming and the earth for ever [is] continuing.
Mihelañe ty tariratse raike, mbore limbezen-tariratse, fe nainai’e eo ty tane toy.
5 And it rises the sun and it goes the sun and to place its [is] panting [is] rising it there.
Manjirike ka i àndroy, mitsofotse i àndroy, mihiririñe mb’am-panjiriha’e añe.
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.
Mitioke mañatimo, le mibalike mañavaratse; mikariokariok’ avao i tiokey, vaho mimpoly amo fiaria’eo.
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.
Songa mivariñe mb’an-driake mb’eo o sakao fe tsy atseke i riakey; mb’amy fikararaha’ o torahañeoy, le mb’eo avao ty fikararaha’ iareo.
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.
Hene mahamamake, tsy lefe’ ondaty volañeñe, tsy mahaetsa-pihaino t’ie vazoho, mbore tsy mahaenen-dravembia te ijanjiñañe.
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.
Mbe ho avy indraike i fa añey, naho mbe hanoeñe avao ze fa nanoeñe, vaho tsy ambane’ i àndroy ty atao vao.
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.
Eo hao ty mete hanoeñe ty hoe, Heheke! vao itoy? Ie fa teo avao, haehae taolon-tikañe añe.
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].
Tsy tiahy o raha taoloo, naho o raha hifetsakeo, vaho tsy hahatiahy irezay o hanonjohio.
12 I Teacher I was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Izaho, i mpañokey, le fa mpanjaka Israele e Ierosalaime ao,
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.
le nimanean-troko ty hañotsohotso naho hikodebe an-kihitse ze hene fitoloñañe ambanen-dikerañe atoa; toe tolon-draha mahamokotse ty natolon’ Añahare am’ondatio hifanehafa’e.
14 I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun and there! everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
Nitreako iaby ze fitoloñañe ambane’ i àndroy; le hehe t’ie fonga kafoake vaho fañeañan-tioke.
15 [something] bent Not it is able to become straight and something missing not it is able to be numbered.
Tsy mete ahity ty mengoke, vaho tsy lefe iaheñe ty tsy eo.
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.
Hoe iraho am-batako: Ingo fa natontoko mandikoatse ze hene mpifehe’ Ierosalaime taolo ahy ty fahaoniñañe ra’elahy; vaho nandifotse ty troko ty hihitse naho hilala.
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.
Le nampitoloñeko ty troko hahaoniña’e hihitse naho hahafohiñe ty hadagolà naho ty hagegeañe. Nirendreko t’ie fañeañan-tioke ka.
18 For [is] in abundance of wisdom abundance of frustration so someone may increase knowledge he will increase pain.
Amy te minday hasosoram-bey ty hihitse maro, vaho mampitombo haoreañe ty fitomboan-kilala.
