< Ecclesiastes 5 >
1 Thou that entrist in to the hous of God, kepe thi foot, and neiye thou for to here; for whi myche betere is obedience than the sacrifices of foolis, that witen not what yuel thei don.
Mgbe ị na-aba nʼụlọ ukwu Chineke, lezie anya. Meghee ntị gị nke ọma, karịa ịchụ aja onyinye nke ndị nzuzu, ndị na-amaghị na ha na-eme ihe ọjọọ.
2 Speke thou not ony thing folily, nether thin herte be swift to brynge forth a word bifore God; for God is in heuene, and thou art on erthe, therfor thi wordis be fewe.
Abụla onye na-eme ọsịịsọ ikwu okwu maọbụ ime ngwangwa nʼime echiche obi gị, maọbụ ikwe Chineke nkwa ọnụ efu. Nʼihi na Chineke nọ nʼeluigwe ma naanị nʼụwa ka ị nọ, nʼihi ya ka okwu ọnụ gị dị ole na ole.
3 Dremes suen many bisynessis, and foli schal be foundun in many wordis.
Dị ka ọtụtụ nchekasị si eweta ị rọọ nrọ, otu a ka okwu onye nzuzu si dị mgbe ọtụtụ okwu dị ya nʼọnụ.
4 If thou hast avowid ony thing to God, tarie thou not to yelde; for an vnfeithful and fonned biheest displesith hym; but `yelde thou what euer thing thou hast avowid;
Nʼihi ya, mgbe ị na-ekwe Chineke nkwa, atụfula oge imezu ihe ahụ, nʼihi na ihe banyere ndị nzuzu adịghị atọ Chineke ụtọ. Mezuo nkwa niile i kwere Chineke.
5 and it is myche betere to make not a vowe, than aftir a vowe to yelde not biheestis.
Ọ ka mma na ị gbara nkịtị karịa na ị ga-ekwe nkwa ma ị gaghị emezu ya.
6 Yyue thou not thi mouth, that thou make thi fleisch to do synne; nether seie thou bifor an aungel, No puruyaunce is; lest perauenture the Lord be wrooth on thi wordis, and distruye alle the werkis of thin hondis.
Ekwela ka ọnụ gị duba gị na mmehie. Azọkwala onwe gị site nʼịgwa onyeozi Chineke, “na i kwere nkwa a na-amaghị ama.” Nʼihi gịnị ka Chineke ga-eji wee iwe nʼihi ihe ị kwuru, ma bibiekwa ọrụ aka gị?
7 Where ben many dremes, ben ful many vanytees, and wordis with out noumbre; but drede thou God.
Aga m eme, aga m eme, ma e meghị ya bụ naanị okwu efu. Ya mere, tụọ egwu Chineke.
8 If thou seest false chalengis of nedi men, and violent domes, and that riytfulnesse is distried in the prouynce, wondre thou not on this doyng; for another is hiyere than an hiy man, and also othere men ben more hiye aboue these men;
Ọ bụrụ na ị hụ ebe a na-emegbu ndị ogbenye, na-anapụkwa ha ihe ruru ha site nʼikpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi na mpaghara obodo a na-achị achị, ya ejula gị anya, nʼihi na onyeisi ọbụla nwere onye na-atụrụ ya. Ndịisi na-atụ iwu nwekwara ndị kachasị ha elu. Otu a kwa, ọ dịkwa ndị dị elu karịa ha.
9 and ferthermore the kyng of al erthe comaundith to the seruaunt.
Mgbe ihe nnweta si nʼala ubi bara ụba, ọ na-abara onye ọbụla uru; ọ na-abakwara eze nʼonwe ya uru.
10 An auerouse man schal not be fillid of monei; and he that loueth richessis schal not take fruytis of tho; and therfor this is vanyte.
Onye ọbụla hụrụ ego nʼanya, ọ gaghị eju ya afọ. Onye ọbụla hụrụ akụnụba nʼanya adịghị enwe afọ ojuju nʼihe ọbụla. Nke a bụkwa ihe efu.
11 Where ben many richessis, also many men ben, that eten tho; and what profitith it to the haldere, no but that he seeth richessis with hise iyen?
Akụ na-abawanye, ndị na-eri ya na-abawanyekwa. Olee uru ha bara nye onyenwe ha karịa iji anya ya abụọ na-ele ha?
12 Slepe is swete to hym that worchith, whether he etith litil ether myche; but the fulnesse of a ryche man suffrith not hym to slepe.
Onye na-arụsị ọrụ ike na-arahụ ụra nke ọma, ma o riri nri nta ma o rikwaranụ nke dị ukwuu, ma oke iriju afọ onye ọgaranya anaghị ekwe ya rahụ ụra.
13 Also anothir sijknesse is ful yuel, which Y siy vndur the sunne; richessis ben kept in to the yuel of her lord.
Ahụrụ m ihe ọjọọ ọzọ nʼokpuru anyanwụ, mmadụ debere akụnụba ruo mgbe o wetara ya ihe mgbu,
14 For thei perischen in the worste turment; he gendride a sone, that schal be in souereyn nedynesse.
ma akụnụba ndị ahụ bụ ihe furu site nʼọdachi nke bụ na mgbe ha mụtara ụmụ, o nwekwaghị ihe fọdụrụ ụmụ ahụ iketa.
15 As he yede nakid out of his modris wombe, so he schal turne ayen; and he schal take awei with hym no thing of his trauel.
Dịka mmadụ si gbara ọtọ site nʼafọ nne ya bata nʼụwa, otu a ka anyị ga-esi hapụ ya. O nweghị ihe ọ ga-ebu pụọ site na ndọgbu niile ọ dọgburu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
16 Outirli it is a wretchid sijknesse; as he cam, so he schal turne ayen. What therfor profitith it to hym, that he trauelide in to the wynde?
Ma nke a bụ ihe ọjọọ nke na-egbu mgbu nʼobi. Mmadụ na-ala dịka o siri bịa. Gịnị bụ uru ya, mgbe ọ na-adọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ nye ifufe?
17 In alle the daies of his lijf he eet in derknessis, and in many bisinessis, and in nedynesse, and sorewe.
Ụbọchị ndụ ya niile, ọ na-eri ihe nʼọchịchịrị, site oke mgbagwoju anya, na nsogbu na iwe.
18 Therfor this semyde good to me, that a man ete, and drynke, and vse gladnesse of his trauel, in which he trauelide vndir the sunne, in the noumbre of daies of his lijf, which God yaf to hym; and this is his part.
Ma achọpụtara m na ọ bụ ihe dị mma na ihe kwesiri omume, ka nwoke rie ihe ma ṅụọkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ Ka ọ chọtakwa afọ ojuju nʼime ndọgbu niile nke ọrụ ọ ruru nʼokpuru anyanwụ, nʼoge mkpụmkpụ ndụ nke Chineke nyere ya. Nʼihi na nke a bụ oke ya.
19 And to ech man, to whom God yaf richessis, and catel, and yaf power to hym to ete of tho, and to vse his part, and to be glad of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.
Ọzọkwa, ọ bụrụ na Chineke enye mmadụ akụnụba na ihe nweta, ma nyekwa ya ike ọ ga-eji kporie ndụ nʼime ihe ndị a, ya nabata nke a dị ka oke ya ma were ọṅụ rụọ ọrụ ya. Ha bụ onyinye si nʼaka Chineke.
20 For he schal not bithenke miche on the daies of his lijf, for God ocupieth his herte with delicis.
Ebe ọ bụ na Chineke enyela ya obi ụtọ, ụbọchị ndụ ya ekwesighị iwetara ya oke echiche.
