Ecclesiastes 3
1 to/for all time and time to/for all pleasure underneath: under [the] heaven
Gen yon lè apwente pou tout bagay. Epi gen yon tan pou chak sa ki rive anba syèl la—
2 time to/for to beget and time to/for to die time to/for to plant and time to/for to uproot to plant
Yon tan pou ne, yon tan pou mouri; yon tan pou plante, ak yon tan pou dechouke sa ki plante a.
3 time to/for to kill and time to/for to heal time to/for to break through and time to/for to build
Yon tan pou touye e yon tan pou geri; yon tan pou demoli e yon tan pou bati.
4 time to/for to weep and time to/for to laugh time to mourn and time to skip about
Yon tan pou kriye e yon tan pou ri; yon tan pou fè dèy e yon tan pou danse.
5 time to/for to throw stone and time to gather stone time to/for to embrace and time to/for to remove from to embrace
Yon tan pou voye wòch e yon tan pou ranmase wòch; yon tan pou anbrase e yon tan pou evite anbrase.
6 time to/for to seek and time to/for to perish time to/for to keep: guard and time to/for to throw
Yon tan pou chache e yon tan pou pèdi. Yon tan pou konsève, e yon tan pou jete.
7 time to/for to tear and time to/for to sew time to/for be silent and time to/for to speak: speak
Yon tan pou chire e yon tan pou koude; yon tan pou rete an silans e yon tan pou pale.
8 time to/for to love: lover and time to/for to hate time battle and time peace
Yon tan pou fè lanmou e yon tan pou rayisman; yon tan pou fè lagè e yon tan pou fè lapè.
9 what? advantage [the] to make: do in/on/with in which he/she/it laborious
Ki avantaj ouvriye a genyen nan tout efò ke li fè yo?
10 to see: see [obj] [the] task which to give: give God to/for son: child [the] man to/for be occupied in/on/with him
Mwen te wè tach ke Bondye te bay a fis a lòm yo, avèk sila yo okipe tèt yo.
11 [obj] [the] all to make beautiful in/on/with time his also [obj] [the] forever: enduring to give: put in/on/with heart their from without which not to find [the] man [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do [the] God from head: first and till end
Li te fè tout bagay bon nan tan li. Anplis, Li te mete letènite nan kè yo, pou ke lòm pa ka fin konprann travay Bondye te fè a soti nan kòmansman jis rive nan lafen.
12 to know for nothing pleasant in/on/with them that if: except if: except to/for to rejoice and to/for to make: do pleasant in/on/with life his
Mwen konnen ke pa gen pi bon bagay pou yo ta fè pase rejwi e fè byen pandan yo gen lavi a.
13 and also all [the] man which/that to eat and to drink and to see: enjoy good in/on/with all trouble his gift God he/she/it
Anplis, pou tout moun ki manje ak bwè yo wè bonte Bondye nan tout travay li yo—se don Bondye sa ye.
14 to know for all which to make: do [the] God he/she/it to be to/for forever: enduring upon him nothing to/for to add and from him nothing to/for to dimish and [the] God to make: do which/that to fear: revere from to/for face: before his
Mwen konnen ke tout sa Bondye fè va dire pou tout tan. Nanpwen anyen pou mete sou li e nanpwen anyen pou retire sou li, paske Bondye te tèlman travay pou lòm ta gen lakrent Li.
15 what? which/that to be already he/she/it and which to/for to be already to be and [the] God to seek [obj] to pursue
Sa ki egziste, te la deja e sa ki va ye, te ye deja. Konsa, Bondye chache jwenn sa ki fin pase.
16 and still to see: see underneath: under [the] sun place [the] justice there [to] [the] wickedness and place [the] righteousness there [to] [the] wickedness
Anplis, mwen te wè anba solèy la ke nan plas lajistis gen mechanste; e nan plas ladwati gen mechanste.
17 to say I in/on/with heart my [obj] [the] righteous and [obj] [the] wicked to judge [the] God for time to/for all pleasure and upon all [the] deed there
Mwen te di a pwòp tèt mwen: “Bondye va jije ni sila ki dwat la, ni sila ki mechan an,” paske gen yon tan pou chak zèv ak chak bagay.
18 to say I in/on/with heart my upon cause son: child [the] man to/for to purify them [the] God and to/for to see: see which/that they(masc.) animal they(masc.) to/for them
Mwen te di pwòp tèt mwen selon fis a lòm yo: “Anverite, Bondye te fè yo pase a leprèv pou yo ta wè ke se tankou bèt ke yo ye.”
19 for accident son: child [the] man and accident [the] animal and accident one to/for them like/as death this so death this and spirit: breath one to/for all and advantage [the] man from [the] animal nothing for [the] all vanity
Paske desten a fis a lòm yo ak desten a bèt yo se menm. Tankou youn mouri, konsa lòt la mouri. Anverite, yo tout gen menm souf la, e nanpwen avantaj pou lòm sou bèt yo, paske tout se vanite.
20 [the] all to go: went to(wards) place one [the] all to be from [the] dust and [the] all to return: return to(wards) [the] dust
Tout ale menm kote. Tout te sòti nan pousyè a, e tout ap retounen nan pousyè a.
21 who? to know spirit son: descendant/people [the] man [the] to ascend: rise he/she/it to/for above [to] and spirit [the] animal [the] to go down he/she/it to/for beneath to/for land: soil
Se kilès ki ka konnen ke souf a lòm monte anwo e souf a bèt yo desann anba tè?
22 and to see: see for nothing pleasant from whence to rejoice [the] man in/on/with deed: work his for he/she/it portion his for who? to come (in): bring him to/for to see: see in/on/with what? which/that to be after him
Mwen te wè ke nanpwen anyen ki pi bon pou lòm ta fè pase fè kè kontan nan tout sa li fè, paske se konsa sò a tonbe pou li. Paske se kilès ki ka fè l wè sa ki va vin rive apre li?
