Ecclesiastes 11
1 Send out your bread on the waters, for you will find it again after many days.
Gbasapụ aka gị nʼinye onyinye nʼihi na mgbe ọtụtụ ụbọchị gasịrị ị ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ gị.
2 Share it with seven, even eight people, for you do not know what disasters are coming on the earth.
Kee akụ gị ụzọ asaa maọbụ ụzọ asatọ nʼihi na ị maghị ụdị ihe ndaba ọjọọ nwere ike ịbịakwasị gị nʼobodo.
3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth, and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it will remain.
Mgbe eluigwe rujiri, mmiri ga-ezo; mgbe osisi dara, maọbụ nʼugwu maọbụ na ndịda, ebe ahụ ka ọ na-atọgbọ.
4 Anyone who watches the wind might not plant, and anyone who watches the clouds might not harvest.
Onye na-ele ikuku anya agaghị akụ mkpụrụ ọbụla, onye na-ele igwe ojii anya agaghị ewe ihe ubi.
5 As you do not know the path of the wind, nor how a baby's bones grow in the pregnant womb, so also you cannot comprehend the work of God, who created everything.
Dịka mmadụ na-apụghị ịmata ụzọ ikuku si aga maọbụ otu ndụ ọhụrụ si ebido nʼime afọ nwanyị dị ime, otu a ka o si dịrị ma mmadụ apụghị ịghọta ọrụ Chineke, onye mere ihe niile.
6 In the morning plant your seed; until the evening, work with your hands as needed, for you know not which will prosper, whether morning or evening, or this or that, or whether they will both alike be good.
Ghaa mkpụrụ gị nʼụtụtụ, esepụkwala aka nʼanyasị, nʼihi na ị maghị nke ga-eto, maọbụ nke a maọbụ nke ọzọ, ha niile nwere ike too nke ọma.
7 Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
Ìhè dị ụtọ, ọ na-amasịkwa anya ịhụ ìhè anyanwụ.
8 If someone lives many years, let him be happy in all of them, but let him think about the coming days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is vanishing vapor.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ adị ndụ ọtụtụ afọ, ya ṅụrịa nʼime ihe niile, ma ya cheta ụbọchị ọchịchịrị ga-adị ọtụtụ. Ihe niile ndị na-abịa bụ ihe efu.
9 Take joy, young man, in your youth, and let your heart be joyful in the days of your youth. Pursue the good desires of your heart, and whatever is within the sight of your eyes. However, know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things.
Nwa okorobịa, ọ bụ ihe oke ọṅụ na ị bụ okorobịa. Ya mere, ka obi gị nye gị ọṅụ nʼụbọchị niile nke okorobịa gị. Mee ihe niile ị chọrọ ime; gbasookwa ihe niile nke anya gị na-ahụ. Kama, ghọtakwa nke a, na ị ghaghị ịza ajụjụ nʼihu Chineke nʼihi ihe niile i mere.
10 Drive anger away from your heart, and ignore any pain in your body, because youth and its strength are vapor.
Ya mere, wezuga nchegbu site nʼobi, wezugakwa nsogbu nke ahụ gị, nʼihi na okorobịa na ịdị ike bụ ihe efu.
