Ecclesiastes 11

1 to send: depart food: bread your upon face: surface [the] water for in/on/with abundance [the] day to find him

Phosela isinkwa sakho phezu kobuso bamanzi, ngoba uzasithola emva kwensuku ezinengi.

2 to give: give portion to/for seven and also to/for eight for not to know what? to be distress: harm upon [the] land: country/planet

Nika isabelo kwabayisikhombisa, yebo, lakwabayisificaminwembili, ngoba kawazi ukuthi bubi bani obuzakuba emhlabeni.

3 if to fill [the] cloud rain upon [the] land: country/planet to empty and if to fall: fall tree in/on/with south and if in/on/with north place which/that to fall: fall [the] tree there to be

Uba amayezi egcwele izulu, ayalithululela emhlabeni; uba-ke isihlahla siwela ngeningizimu kumbe ngenyakatho, endaweni lapho isihlahla esiwela khona sizakuba khonapho.

4 to keep: look at spirit: breath not to sow and to see: see in/on/with cloud not to reap

Onanzelela umoya kayikuhlanyela, lalowo okhangela amayezi kayikuvuna.

5 like/as as which nothing you to know what? way: journey [the] spirit like/as bone in/on/with belly: womb [the] full thus not to know [obj] deed: work [the] God which to make [obj] [the] all

Njengoba ungazi ukuthi iyini indlela yomoya, akhula njani amathambo esiswini sokhulelweyo, ngokunjalo kawazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu owenza konke.

6 in/on/with morning to sow [obj] seed your and to/for evening not to rest hand your for nothing you to know where? this to succeed this or this and if two their like/as one pleasant

Hlanyela inhlanyelo yakho ekuseni, lantambama ungaphumuzi isandla sakho; ngoba kawazi ukuthi yiyiphi ezaphumelela, le kumbe leyana, loba zombili zizakuba zinhle ngokufananayo.

7 and sweet [the] light and pleasant to/for eye to/for to see: see [obj] [the] sun

Sibili, ukukhanya kumnandi; njalo kuhle emehlweni ukubona ilanga.

8 that if: except if: except year to multiply to live [the] man in/on/with all their to rejoice and to remember [obj] day [the] darkness for to multiply to be all which/that to come (in): come vanity

Kodwa uba umuntu ephila iminyaka eminengi, kathokoze ngayo yonke; kodwa kakhumbule lensuku zomnyama, ngoba zizakuba zinengi. Konke okuzayo kuyize.

9 to rejoice youth in/on/with youth your and be good you heart your in/on/with day youth your and to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct heart your and in/on/with appearance eye your and to know for upon all these to come (in): bring you [the] God in/on/with justice: judgement

Thokoza, jaha, ebutsheni bakho, lenhliziyo yakho kayikuthokozise ensukwini zobutsha bakho, uhambe endleleni zenhliziyo yakho lekuboneni kwamehlo akho. Kodwa yazi ukuthi ngenxa yazo zonke izinto uNkulunkulu uzakuletha kusahlulelo.

10 and to turn aside: remove vexation from heart your and to pass: bring distress: harm from flesh your for [the] youth and [the] dark hair vanity

Ngakho susa ukudabuka enhliziyweni yakho, ukhuphe ububi enyameni yakho, ngoba ubutsha lobujaha buyize.
