< 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.
Ambeno ty lia’o mb’añ’an­jomban’ añahare mb’eo, harineo hijanjiñe’o, Hàmake izay ta te mañenga ty soro’ o seretseo, ie tsy apota’e te manao raty.
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.
Ko meke am-palie, naho ko malisa an-tro’o ty hisaontsy ndra inoñe aman’ Añahare: fa an-dindiñe ao t’i Andrianañahare, ihe an-tane atoy, aa le anò tsy ampeampe o enta’oo.
3 Dremes suen many bisynessis, and foli schal be foundun in many wordis.
Mahavy nofy ty fimaneam-pitoloñañe; fe fohiñe ami’ty hamaron-tsaontsi’e ty feo’ i gegey.
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;
Ihe mifanta aman’ Añahare, ko malaoñe hañavake; fa tsy ifalea’e ty dagola: ondroho i nifantà’oy.
5 and it is myche betere to make not a vowe, than aftir a vowe to yelde not biheestis.
Hàmake t’ie tsy mifanta, ta te mifanta tsy mañavake.
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.
Ko metè’o hañakeo azo ty vava’o; le ko manao amy Irakey te nilosotse: fa ino ty hiviñeran’ Añahare amy feo’oy, handrotsaha’e o satan-taña’oo?
7 Where ben many dremes, ben ful many vanytees, and wordis with out noumbre; but drede thou God.
Fa hakafoahañe ty halàko nofy naho ty hamaro saontsy: mone mañeveña aman’Añahare.
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;
Ie isa’o ty famorekekeañe o rarakeo, naho ty fampitavanan-jo naho hatò ampariparitse añe, ko ilatsa’o: fa jilove’ i mpifelek’ azey ty mpifehe vaho ambone ka ty bei’iareo.
9 and ferthermore the kyng of al erthe comaundith to the seruaunt.
Amy te itraofa’ iabikey ty tombo’ i taney: toe mitoroñe i mpanjakay i tetekey.
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.
Tsy mahaeneñe ty mpitea-vola ty vola; vaho ty mpikoko firegoregoañe t’ie miegoego: hakafoahañe ka izay.
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?
Ie mitobake ty havokarañe, maro ka o mampibotsek’ azeo: aa le ino ty tombo’e ho a i tompo’ey ta te ho sambae’e am-pihaino avao?
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.
Mamy ty firota’ ty mpifanehake, ndra te kede ty kamae’e ndra te bey: fe tsy apo’e hirotse ty havontsiña’ i mpañalealey.
13 Also anothir sijknesse is ful yuel, which Y siy vndur the sunne; richessis ben kept in to the yuel of her lord.
Eo ty haratiañe manivontivoñe nitreako ambane’ i àndroy, te mijoy ty mpañefoefo o vara ahaja’eo.
14 For thei perischen in the worste turment; he gendride a sone, that schal be in souereyn nedynesse.
Ie nikapaike i varay, amy te navaridì’e ami’ty tsy vara, le nahatoly ana-dahy f’ie an-tañam-polo.
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.
Hambañe amy niboaha’e an-kovin-drene’ey, t’ie hiboridañe ka te himpoly, ndra loli’e tsy ho tintinem-pità’e amy fitromaha’ey.
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?
Haratiañe manivontivoñe ka izay, te manahake ty nitolia’e ty himpolia’e: aa le ino ty tombo’ ty fitromahañe hahazoañe tioke?
17 In alle the daies of his lijf he eet in derknessis, and in many bisinessis, and in nedynesse, and sorewe.
Mikama añ’ieñe ao amo hene andro’eo, amy t’ie lako haemberañe naho hasilofañe vaho habosehañe.
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.
Ingo, ty nitreako ho soa naho mañeva aze, t’ie mikama naho mitohoke vaho hifale ami’ty hasoa’ i tolon-draha itoloña’e ambane’ i àndroy amo andro tsy ampeampe iaiña’eo, o natolon’ Añahare azeo: fa izay ty anjara’e.
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.
Naho ondaty nitoloran’ Añahare vara naho hanaña le nimea’e lily hikama naho handrambe anjara, vaho hirebek’ amy nifanehafa’ey; toe falalàn’ Añahare izay.
20 For he schal not bithenke miche on the daies of his lijf, for God ocupieth his herte with delicis.
Le tsy beteke haereñere’e o andro iveloma’eo, amy t’ie ampitoloñen’ Añahare an-kafalean-troke.
