Ecclesiastes 3
1 For everything there is an appointed time, and a season for every purpose under heaven.
Ma nukewa ma sikyak fin faclu sikyak fal nu ke pacl la.
2 There is a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pull up plants,
Oasr pacl in isusla, ac pacl in misa, Oasr pacl in yukwiya, ac pacl in fusak.
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build up.
Oasr pacl in uniya, ac pacl in akkeye, Oasr pacl in kunausla, ac pacl in musaeak.
4 There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
Oasr pacl in tung, ac pacl in israsr, Oasr pacl in mwemelil, ac pacl in onsrosro.
5 a time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones, a time to embrace other people, and a time to refrain from embracing.
Oasr pacl in sisalik eot uh, ac pacl in eisani eot uh, Oasr pacl in kafis, ac pacl in tia kafis.
6 There is a time to look for things and a time to stop looking, a time to keep things and a time to throw away things,
Oasr pacl in suk, ac pacl in tila suk, Oasr pacl in liyaung, ac pacl in sisla.
7 a time to tear clothing and a time to repair clothing, a time to keep silent and a time to speak.
Oasr pacl in seya, ac pacl in twani, Oasr pacl in kaskas, ac pacl in tia kaskas.
8 There is a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Oasr pacl nu ke lungse, ac pacl nu ke srunga, Oasr pacl nu ke mweun, ac pacl nu ke misla.
9 What profit does the worker gain in his labor?
Mea sie mwet el eis ke orekma nukewa lal?
10 I have seen the work that God has given to human beings to complete.
Nga etu ke mwe utuk toasr ma God El filiya facsr.
11 God has made everything suitable for its own time. He has also placed eternity in their hearts. But mankind cannot understand the deeds that God has done, from their beginning all the way to their end.
El oaki pacl fal nu ke ma nukewa. El oaki nu sesr tuh kut in kena etu ke pacl fahsru, tusruktu El tia ase nu sesr in etu nufon ma El oru.
12 I know that there is nothing better for anyone than to rejoice and to do good so long as he lives—
Ke ma inge nga akilen lah ma kut ku in oru pa in engan ac oru wo ke kuiyasr nufon ke lusen moul lasr uh.
13 and that everyone should eat and drink, and should understand how to enjoy the good that comes from all his work. This is a gift from God.
Kut nukewa enenu in mongo ac nim ac engankin ma kut orekma nu kac. Ma inge mwe kite lun God.
14 I know that whatever God does lasts forever. Nothing can be added to it or taken away, because it is God who has done it so that people will approach him with honor.
Nga etu lah ma nukewa God El oru uh ac oan ma pahtpat. Kut koflana laesla kutena ma nu kac ku eisla kutena ma liki. Ac God El oru ouinge tuh mwet uh in sunakunul ac akfulatyal.
15 Whatever exists has already existed; whatever will exist has already existed. God makes human beings seek hidden things.
Kutena ma su sikyak tari, sikyak pac in pacl inge. Kutena ma su ac fah sikyak in pacl fahsru, nuna sikyak tari meet. God El oru tuh ma inge in sikyak na sikyak.
16 I have seen the wickedness that is under the sun, where there should be justice, and in place of righteousness, wickedness was there.
Sayen ma inge, nga liye pac mu fin facl se inge, yen ma nununku suwohs ac pwaye eneneyuk in oasr we, ma koluk ac sesuwos pa oasr we.
17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked at the right time for every matter and every deed.”
Nga fahk nu sik sifacna, “God El fah nununku mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk oana sie, mweyen ma nukewa ac kain in mukuikui nukewa fah sikyak in pacl fal la.”
18 I said in my heart, “God tests human beings to show them that they are like animals.”
Nga nunku tuh God El srike kut in akkalemye nu sesr lah kut tia sie na liki ma orakrak uh.
19 For the fate of the children of mankind and the fate of animals is the same fate for them. The death of one is like the death of the other. The breath is the same for all of them. There is no advantage for mankind over the animals. For is not everything just a breath?
Ma kalem uh pa saflaiyen mwet uh, ac ma orakrak uh, oana sie. Elos kewa ma orekla ac oasr momong la, ac kewana ac misa. Mwet uh tia fulat liki ma orakrak uh, mweyen moul uh ma lusrongten nu seltal kewa.
20 Everything is going to the same place. Everything comes from the dust, and everything returns to the dust.
Elos kewa ac som nu ke yen sefanna — nu infohk uh. Eltal na kewa orekla ke fohk, ac eltal na kewa fah sifil ekla nu kac.
21 Who knows whether the spirit of mankind goes upward and the spirit of animals goes downward into the earth?
Su ku in etu na pwaye lah ngunin mwet uh ac sowak nu lucng, ac ngunin ma orakrak uh ac som nu ten nu infohk uh?
22 So again I realized that there is nothing better for anyone than to take pleasure in his work, for that is his assignment. Who can bring him back to see what happens after him?
Ouinge nga akilen lah ma se wo emeet kut in oru uh pa in engankin ma kut orala. Wangin pac ma saya. Kut tia ku in etu lah mea ac fah sikyak tukun kut misa.
