Ecclesiastes 6
1 Also another yuel is, which Y siy vndur the sunne; and certis it is oft vsid anentis men.
Mo ti rí ibi mìíràn lábẹ́ oòrùn.
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.
Ọlọ́run fún ọkùnrin kan ní ọrọ̀, ọlá àti ọlà kí ó má ba à ṣe aláìní ohunkóhun tí ọkàn rẹ̀ ń fẹ́. Ṣùgbọ́n, Ọlọ́run kò fún un ní àǹfààní láti gbádùn wọn, dípò èyí, àlejò ni ó ń gbádùn wọn. Asán ni èyí, ààrùn búburú gbá à ni.
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.
Ọkùnrin kan le è ní ọgọ́rùn-ún ọmọ kí ó sì wà láààyè fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún, síbẹ̀ kò sí bí ó ti le wà láààyè pẹ́ tó, bí kò bá le è gbádùn ohun ìní rẹ̀ kí ó sì gba ìsìnkú tí ó tọ́, mo sọ wí pé ọlẹ̀ ọmọ tí a sin sàn jù ú lọ.
4 For he cometh in veyn, and goith to derknessis; and his name schal be don a wei bi foryetyng.
Ó wà láìní ìtumọ̀, ó lọ nínú òkùnkùn, nínú òkùnkùn sì ni orúkọ rẹ̀ fi ara pamọ́ sí.
5 He siy not the sunne, nether knew dyuersyte of good and of yuel;
Bí ó ti jẹ́ wí pé kò rí oòrùn tàbí mọ ohunkóhun, ó ní ọ̀pọ̀ ìsinmi ju ti ọkùnrin náà lọ.
6 also thouy he lyueth twei thousynde yeeris, and vsith not goodis; whether alle thingis hasten not to o place?
Kódà, bí ó wà láààyè fún ẹgbẹ̀rún ọdún méjì yípo ṣùgbọ́n tí ó kùnà láti gbádùn ohun ìní rẹ̀. Kì í ṣe ibìkan ni gbogbo wọn ń lọ?
7 Al the trauel of a man is in his mouth, but the soule of hym schal not be fillid with goodis.
Gbogbo wàhálà tí ènìyàn ń ṣe nítorí àtijẹ ni síbẹ̀ ikùn rẹ̀ kò yó rí.
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?
Kí ni àǹfààní tí ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn ní lórí aṣiwèrè? Kí ni èrè tálákà ènìyàn nípa mímọ bí yóò ṣe hùwà níwájú àwọn tókù?
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.
Ohun tí ojú rí sàn ju ìfẹnuwákiri lọ. Asán ni eléyìí pẹ̀lú ó dàbí ẹni ń gbìyànjú àti mú afẹ́fẹ́.
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.
Ohunkóhun tí ó bá ti wà ti ní orúkọ, ohun tí ènìyàn jẹ́ sì ti di mí mọ̀; kò sí ènìyàn tí ó le è ja ìjàkadì pẹ̀lú ẹni tí ó lágbára jù ú lọ.
11 Wordis ben ful manye, and han myche vanyte in dispuytinge.
Ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀, kì í ní ìtumọ̀ èrè wo ni ènìyàn ń rí nínú rẹ̀?
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?
Àbí, ta ni ó mọ ohun tí ó dára fún ènìyàn ní ayé fún ọjọ́ ayé kúkúrú àti asán tí ó ń là kọjá gẹ́gẹ́ bí òjìji? Ta ni ó le è sọ fún mi, ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ lábẹ́ oòrùn lẹ́yìn tí ó bá lọ tán? Kò sí!
