Ecclesiastes 9
1 For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.
Na da amo dawa: i liligi bu bagadewane dawa: lalu, agoane dawa: i. Gode da bagade dawa: su amola moloidafa dunu ilia hamobe huluane ouligisa. Amola ilia asigi hou amola higasu hou huluane ouligisa. Dunu afae da ema fa: no doaga: mu hou hamedafa dawa:
2 All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
Be amo da osobo bagade hou hame afadenesa. Hobea misunu hou da defele moloidafa dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu, noga: i dunu amola wadela: i dunu, Gode Ea hou lalegagui amola hame lalegagui, gobele salasu hamobe dunu amola gobele salasu hame hamobe, ilima defele doaga: sa. Hou da moloidafa dunuma doaga: be da hou amo da wadela: i hamosu dunuma doaga: be, amo hame baligisa. Hou da dunu amo da sia: ilegebeba: le doaga: be, da hou amo sia: hame ilegesu dunuma doaga: be, hame baligisa.
3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all. Yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Fa: no misunu hou da dunu huluanedafa ilima defele doaga: be. Amola amo hou da hou eno osobo bagadega diala defele, defea hame gala. Osobo bagade dunu da esalebeba: le, ilia asigi dawa: su da wadela: i hou amola doulasi hou amoga nabai gala. Amalalu, ilia da hedolowane bogosa.
4 For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Be nowa da osobo bagadega esalea, da dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su fonobahadi gala. Wa: me esalebe da laione wa: me bogoi ea hou baligisa.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.
Dafawane! Esalebe dunu da ilia fa: no da bogomu amo dawa: Be bogoi dunu da dawa: mu hamedei. Ilia da noga: i bidi eno lamu hamedei. Eno dunu da ili dafawane gogolesa.
6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
Ilia asigi hou, higasu hou amola ilia hanai hou da ili galu bogoi dagoi. Ilia da osobo bagade hamobe liligi amoga bu hamedafa gilisimu.
7 Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.
Defea! Hamoma! Dia ha: i manu hahawane moma! Dia waini hano hahawane moma! Gode da amo da defea dawa: sa.
8 Let your garments be always white, and don’t let your head lack oil.
Eso huluane fedege agoane, abula ahia: iai salima amola dia dialuma da: iya susuligi sogadigima!
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labour in which you labour under the sun.
Gode da dima udigili esalusu iabe, amo ganodini, di amola dia sasagesu uda ali hahawane esaloma! Hamedei eso huluane amoga, hahawane ba: mu. Bai dia esalusu amoga di da amo dabe fawane lamu.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going. (Sheol h7585)
Dia hawa: hamosea, gasa fili hamoma! Bai di bogoi sogebi doaga: sea, hawa: hamomu amola asigiga dawa: mu amola bagade dawa: su hou huluane bu hamedafa ba: mu. Amola di da bogoi soge amogawi masunu. (Sheol h7585)
11 I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
Na da eno liligi dawa: i. Osobo bagadega, hehenasu bagade dawa: dunu da eso huluane hame baligisa, amola beda: hamedei dunu da eso huluane gegesu ganodini hame hasala. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane ilia labe defele, muni hame laha. Bagade dawa: su dunu da eso huluane bagade gaguiwane hame ba: sa. Amola hawa: hamosu dawa: dunu da eso huluane ouligisu hou hamoma: ne hame heda: sa. Dunu huluane da se nabasu ba: sa.
12 For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
Dia bogomu eso dima manebe, amo di hame dawa: Sio saniga sa: i agoai amola menabo segega dabe agoai, ninia wadela: i eso amoga ninia hame dawa: i, saniga sa: i dagoi ba: mu.
13 I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.
Na da eno liligi ba: i. Amo da ado digisu amo osobo bagade dunu da bagade dawa: su hou agoane ba: sa.
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.
“Moilai fonobahadi dialebe ba: i. Amo ganodini, dunu bagahame fawane esalebe ba: i. Gasa bagade hina bagade dunu da amo moilai doagala: i. Ea dadi gagui da moilai sisiga: le, gagoi gadelale sa: imusa: momagei.
15 Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Hame gagui dunu afae da amogai esalu. E da bagade dawa: beba: le, amo moilai gaga: musa: dawa: defele galu. Be dunu afaega da amo ea hame dawa: digi.”
16 Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
Na da eso huluane agoane sia: su. Bagade dawa: su hou da gasa baligisa. Be dunu huluane da hame gagui dunu da dawa: su gala amo hame dawa: sa. Amola ilia da hame gagui dunu ea fada: i sia: hame naba.
17 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules amongst fools.
Bagade dawa: su dunu ea asaboi sia: nabimu da defea. Be ouligisu dunu da gagaoui dunu ilia gilisili sia: fasu ganodini, amo ea wesu nabimu da defea hame.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.
Bagade dawa: su hou ea hamobe da gegesu liligi ilia hamobe baligisa. Be wadela: i hamosu dunu afae da hou noga: iwane bagohame wadela: lesimusa: dawa:
