Ecclesiastes 6
1 Also another yuel is, which Y siy vndur the sunne; and certis it is oft vsid anentis men.
Mwen wè yon lòt malè sou latè ankò, se bagay ki rive fasil.
2 A man is, to whom God yaf richessis, and catel, and onour; and no thing failith to his soule of alle thingis which he desirith; and God yyueth not power to hym, that he ete therof, but a straunge man shal deuoure it. This is vanyte, and a greet wretchidnesse.
Bondye bay yon moun richès, pozisyon, byen, lwanj. Wi, Bondye ba li tou sa li bezwen san manke yonn. Men Bondye pa kite l' jwi yo. Se yon etranje k'ap jwi yo pito. Tou sa pa vo anyen. Se bagay ki rèd anpil.
3 If a man gendrith an hundrid fre sones, and lyueth many yeris, and hath many daies of age, and his soule vsith not the goodis of his catel, and wantith biriyng; Y pronounce of this man, that a deed borun child is betere than he.
Yon nonm te mèt gen san (100) pitit, li te mèt viv lontan, wi li te mèt rive vye granmoun, si li pa jwi anyen nan lavi, si yo pa ka fè bèl lantèman pou li, enben, mwen di nou: Yon timoun ki fèt tou mouri miyò pase l'.
4 For he cometh in veyn, and goith to derknessis; and his name schal be don a wei bi foryetyng.
Paske ti pitit la fèt, men sa pa sèvi l' anyen. Li disparèt lamenm. Ata non l' yo pa gen tan konnen.
5 He siy not the sunne, nether knew dyuersyte of good and of yuel;
Li pa janm wè limyè solèy, li pa janm konnen sa lavi ye. Men, ti pitit la jwenn pi bon repo pase nonm sa a
6 also thouy he lyueth twei thousynde yeeris, and vsith not goodis; whether alle thingis hasten not to o place?
ki viv depase demilan men ki pa janm jwi anyen nan lavi, paske, lè ou gade byen, tou de al menm kote a.
7 Al the trauel of a man is in his mouth, but the soule of hym schal not be fillid with goodis.
Tou sa yon nonm fè pase nan bouch, men l'ap toujou grangou.
8 What hath a wijs man more than a fool? and what hath a pore man, no but that he go thidur, where is lijf?
Kisa yon nonm ki gen lespri gen pase yon nonm sòt? Kisa sa rapòte yon pòv malere lè li konnen jan pou l' debat ak lavi a?
9 It is betere to se that, that thou coueitist, than to desire that, that thou knowist not; but also this is vanyte, and presumpcioun of spirit.
Anyen. Pito ou kontan ak sa ou genyen pase pou ou toujou anvi sa ou pa genyen. Sa pa vo anyen, sa pa rapòte anyen.
10 The name of hym that schal come, is clepid now, and it is knowun, that he is a man, and he mai not stryue in doom ayens a strongere than hym silf.
Tou sa ki rive, depi lontan yo konnen li te la pou rive. Nou deja konnen sa yon moun ye. Li pa ka nan kenbe tèt ak moun ki pi fò pase l'.
11 Wordis ben ful manye, and han myche vanyte in dispuytinge.
Plis ou nan pale anpil, plis se tan ou w'ap pèdi. Kisa sa ap rapòte ou?
12 What nede is it to a man to seke grettere thingis than hym silf; sithen he knowith not, what schal bifalle to hym in his lijf, in the noumbre of daies of his pilgrimage, and in the tyme that passith as schadowe? ether who may schewe to hym, what thing vndur sunne schal come aftir hym?
Ki moun ki konnen sa ki bon pou yon moun k'ap mennen yon lavi ki pa vo anyen, yon lavi k'ap pase tankou yon nwaj, pandan de twa jou l'ap pase sou tè a? Ki moun ki ka fè lèzòm konnen sa ki gen pou rive sou latè apre y'a fin mouri?
