Ecclesiastes 8
1 [I will tell you about] those who are truly wise [RHQ] with the result that they can explain why everything happens. Being wise enables people to be happy [MTY] and enables them to smile.
Bagade dawa: su dunu hi fawane da osobo bagade liligi ea bai dawa: sa. E da bagade dawa: lai dagoiba: le, ohomogisa. Ea dawa: laiba: le, ea hagusa: i gasi ahoa.
2 You solemnly promised God that you would obey what the king commands, so do that.
Di hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabima. Amola Godema hawa: hamomusa: udigili mae sia: ilegema.
3 Do not quickly disobey the king. And do not join those who want to rebel against him, because the king will do what he wants to do.
Osobo bagade hina bagade da ea hanaiga liligi hamomusa: dawa: Amaibale, ea midadiga gasigama. Di da amo sogebiga se nabasa: besa: le, muguluma!
4 We need to obey what the king says more than we need to obey what anyone else says; no one can say to the king, “(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]”
Hina bagade ea sia: da dunu eno ilia sia: baligisa. Ea sia: enoga gua: mu da hamedei.
5 If you obey what the king commands, he will not harm you. [So] be wise, and know the correct/right time to do things and the right way to do them.
Di da ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo nabawane hamosea, di da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Bagade dawa: su dunu da habogala amola adi esoga ea hamomusa: sia: i, amo hamomu dawa:
6 Although people experience many troubles/difficulties, there is a right/correct time to do things, and there is a right/correct way [to do them].
Liligi huluane habogala amola habodane hamomusa: dawa: da logo diala. Be ninia da fonobahadi fawane dawa:
7 No one knows what will happen in the future, so there is no one [RHQ] who can tell us what is going to happen.
Nini afaega da hobea misunu hou hame dawa: Amola enoga ninima adole imunu da hame gala.
8 We cannot control the wind, and we cannot control when we will die. Soldiers are not permitted to go home during a battle, and evil people will not be saved by [doing what is] evil.
Dunu afaega da ea bogomu logo hedofamu da hamedei. Amola bogomu eso gasigalesimu da hamedei. Amo fedege agoane da gegesu amoga hobeamu da hamedei. Ninia da adodigili hobeamu gogolei.
9 I thought about all those things, and I thought about all [HYP] the other things that happen on this earth. I saw that [sometimes] people cause those whom they control to suffer.
Na da hou amo da osobo bagadega hamobe dawa: loba, na da amo liligi ba: i dagoi. Dunu mogili da gasa gala amola eno da iliha se nabawane esala.
10 I also saw that [sometimes] after evil [people] die, they are highly honored at their funerals by the people in the cities where they had done [evil] deeds. It seemed to be difficult to understand why that happens.
Dafawane! Na da wadela: i hamosu dunu bogole, uli dogoi ganodini sali ba: i. Be eno dunu da uli dogoi sogebi yolesili, ilia diasuga bu ahoanoba, moilai bai bagade amo ganodini wadela: i hamosu dunu da ilia wadela: i hamonanu, ilia da amo dunu da noga: idafa hou hamonanu, udigili sia: dabe na da nabi. Amo udigili sia: da hamedei liligi.
11 If evil people are not immediately punished, it causes [other] people [SYN] to [also] want to do evil things.
Osobo bagade dunu da abuliba: le hedolowane wadela: i hou hamosala: ? Bai ouligisu dunu da ilima se dabe hedolo hame iaha.
12 But even if sinful people commit 100 crimes, and [even if they] live for a long time, I know that things will go better for those who greatly respect and revere God.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu e da wadela: i hou100agoane hamosa, be esalebe ba: musa: dawa: Dafawane! Na dawa! Ilia da amane sia: daha, “Gode Ea sia: nababeba: le, di da hahawane esalumu.
13 [I also know] that things will not go well go for those who are evil, because they do not revere God. Shadows [do not last a long time]. Similarly [SIM], evil people will not live a long time.
Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da se nabimu. Ilia esalusu da baba agoane. Ilia da galuga bogomu. Bai ilia Gode Ea sia: hame naba.”
14 Another thing that [sometimes] happens on this earth is that bad things happen to righteous people, and good things happen to evil people. It is difficult to understand why that happens.
Be amo sia: da bai hamedei. Osobo bagadega hou ba: ma! Eso enoga moloidafa dunu da wadela: i dunu ilia se dabe iasu laha. Amola wadela: i hamosu dunu da moloidafa dunu ilia hahawane dabe laha. Amo da udigili hamedei hou, na da sia: sa.
15 [So] I decided that I would recommend that people be happy while they are alive, because the best thing that people can do here on this earth is to eat and drink and be happy. Enjoying doing those things will help people while they do their work, all the time that God has given to them to remain alive here on the earth.
Amaiba: le, na dawa: loba da dunu da ea hanaiga hahawane hamomu da defea. Bai osobo bagade esalusu ganodini, hahawane hou da ha: i manu nasu amola waini hano nasu amola udigili hedesu hou amo fawane. Gode da ea esalusu ema i dagoi. Amola e da amo hou fawane hamomusa: dawa:
16 I thought about being wise and about people who work very hard, working day and night and not taking time to sleep.
Na da bagade dawa: lamusa: hogomu amola osobo bagadega hamobe dawa: lamusa: logo hogomu, na da amo fawane dawa: i. Di da gasia amola esoga mae golale esalea,
17 Then I thought about everything [HYP] that God has done, and I realized that no one can understand everything that happens here on this earth. Truly, people are not able to fully understand everything [that God understands], even if they try hard to do that. Even if wise people claim that they understand it all, they cannot.
Gode Ea hamobe hamedafa dawa: mu. Di da gasa bagade hanaiwane hogosea, hamedafa dawa: mu. Bagade dawa: su dunu da amo liligi ea bai dawa: be, ilisu da sia: sa. Be ilia da hamedafa dawa:
