Ecclesiastes 4
1 I turnede me to othere thingis, and Y siy fals chalengis, that ben don vndur the sunne, and the teeris of innocentis, and no man coumfortour; and that thei forsakun of the help of alle men, moun not ayenstonde the violence of hem.
Aa le niharaharaeko indraike ze forekekeñe iaby ambane’ i àndroy: hehe ty ranomaso’ o forekekeñeo, ie tsy amam-pañohò; naho am-pità’ o mpamorekekeo ty hafatrarañe; f’ie tsy amam-pañimba.
2 And Y preiside more deed men than lyuynge men;
Aa le nandrenge o vilasy fa nihomakeo iraho, ambone’ o veloñe mbe amañ’aiñeo.
3 and Y demyde hym, that was not borun yit, and siy not the yuels that ben don vndur the sunne, to be blisfulere than euer eithir.
Eka, lombolombo i roe rey ty mbe lia’e tsy eo, ie mbe tsy nahaoniñe ty sata-raty anoeñe ambane’ i àndroy.
4 Eft Y bihelde alle the trauelis of men, and bisynesses; and Y perseyuede that tho ben opyn to the enuye of neiybore; and therfor in this is vanyte, and superflu bisynesse.
Nitreako indraike te o fitoloñañe iabio naho ze tolon-draha mahatafetetse, le voka’ ty fifampitsikiriha’ ondaty naho i rañe’ey. Hakafoahañe naho fañeañan-tioke ka zao.
5 A fool foldith togidere hise hondis, and etith hise fleischis,
Mamihim-pitañe ty dagola, vaho abotse’e ty nofo’e.
6 and seith, Betere is an handful with reste, than euer either hondful with trauel and turment of soule.
Hàmake ty fianjiñañe mahapea-pitàñe, ta ty fitàn-droe pea fitromahañe naho fañeañan-tioke.
7 I bihelde and foond also another vanytee vndir the sunne;
Nenteako indraike o hakafoahañe ambane’ i àndroy.
8 oon is, and he hath not a secounde; not a sone, not a brother; and netheles he ceesith not for to trauele, nether hise iyen ben fillid with richessis; nether he bithenkith, and seith, To whom trauele Y, and disseyue my soule in goodis? In this also is vanyte, and the worste turment.
Teo ty raike tsy amam-paha-roe; toe tsy nanañ’ anake, tsy aman-drahalahy: fe tsy mbia tsy heneke o fitoloña’eo; vaho tsy mahaene-pihaino’e ty vara; Tsie, hoe re, Ia ze o itoloñako zao, malorè ty fiaiko tsy hanjo ty soa? hakafoahañe ka zao mbore fifanehafañe mahaore.
9 Therfor it is betere, that tweyne be togidere than oon; for thei han profite of her felouschipe.
Hàmake te roe ta t’ie raike; amy te soa fitombo ty fitoloña’ iareo.
10 If oon fallith doun, he schal be vndurset of the tothere; wo to hym that is aloone, for whanne he fallith, he hath noon reisynge him.
Ie mikorovoke ty raike, honjone’ i rañe’ey; fe feh’ohatse te mikorovoke ty bangìñe tsy manañ’ ila hampitroatse aze.
11 And if tweyne slepen, thei schulen be nurschid togidere; hou schal oon be maad hoot?
Tovo izay, ie mitrao-pandreañe ty roe le mafana: fa ino ty hampafana aze t’ie raike?
12 And if ony man hath maistri ayens oon, tweyne ayen stonden hym; a threfolde corde is brokun of hard.
Mete hiambotraha’ t’indaty ty raike ie miereñereñe, fe hijohañe hiatrek’ aze ty roe; tsy rofondrofoteñe aniany ty taly telo-randra.
13 A pore man and wijs is betere than an eld kyng and fool, that kan not bifore se in to tyme to comynge.
Ndra kitra’e ajalahy rarake mahihitse ta t’ie mpanjaka antetse gege tsy mañaoñe hatahata.
14 For sum tyme a man goith out bothe fro prysoun and chaynes to a rewme; and anothir borun in to a rewme is wastid bi nedynesse.
Toe niboak’am-balabey ao re ho mpanjaka; ie nirarake te nitoly am-pifehea’e ao.
15 I siy alle men lyuynge that goen vndur the sunne, with the secounde yong wexynge man, that schal rise for hym.
Nitreako te niarimboe’ ze hene veloñe ambane’ i àndroy, i ajalahy tsinara valoha’ey, i handimbe azey,
16 The noumbre of puple, of alle that weren bifore hym, is greet with outen mesure, and thei that schulen come aftirward, schulen not be glad in hym; but also this is vanyte and turment of the spirit.
naho te tsifotofoto ondaty am-boriza’e ao, f’ie tsy ho loho onjone’ o manonjohy azeo. Toe hakafoahañe ka zao vaho fañeañan-tioke.
