Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is betere than preciouse oynementis; and the dai of deth is betere than the dai of birthe.
Sie elah wo el wo liki ono keng yohk molo; ac len in misa lom wo liki len in isusla lom.
2 It is betere to go to the hous of morenyng, than to the hous of a feeste; for in that hous `of morenyng the ende of alle men is monestid, and a man lyuynge thenkith, what is to comynge.
Wo in som nu ke sie lohm ma oasr tung ac mwemelil we liki in som nu ke sie lohm ma mwet uh orek kufwa we, mweyen fal mwet moul uh in esam lah misa uh soanekut nukewa.
3 Yre is betere than leiyyng; for the soule of a trespassour is amendid bi the heuynesse of cheer.
Asor wo liki israsr — sahp ac oru kom ngetnget in asor, tusruktu ac akyokye etauk lom uh.
4 The herte of wise men is where sorewe is; and the herte of foolis is where gladnesse is.
Mwet se su nunku ke mwe engan pacl nukewa el sie mwet lalfon. Sie mwet lalmwetmet el nunku ke misa.
5 It is betere to be repreued of a wijs man, than to be disseyued bi the flateryng of foolis;
Kas in kai sin sie mwet lalmwetmet, wo liki kas in kaksak lun mwet lalfon.
6 for as the sown of thornes brennynge vndur a pot, so is the leiyyng of a fool. But also this is vanyte.
Pacl se sie mwet lalfon el israsr, oana ke kokul uh ac kisassasla in sie e. Wanginna kalmeya.
7 Fals chalenge disturblith a wijs man, and it schal leese the strengthe of his herte.
Sie mwet lalmwetmet fin kutasrik nu sin sie pac mwet, el orekma oana mwet lalfon. Kom fin eis molin eyeinse, kom sifacna akkolukyekomla.
8 Forsothe the ende of preyer is betere than the bigynnyng. A pacient man is betere than a proud man.
Sie ma aksafyeyukla, wo liki sie ma tufahna mutawauk. Mongfisrasr uh wo liki inse fulat.
9 Be thou not swift to be wrooth; for ire restith in the bosum of a fool.
Nimet sa in mulat — sie ma lalfon pa in koko sripen mulat.
10 Seie thou not, What gessist thou is of cause, that the formere tymes weren betere than ben now? for whi siche axyng is fonned.
Nikmet siyuk, “Efu ku ma meet ah wo liki na ma pacl inge uh?” Tiana kusen siyuk lalmwetmet se.
11 Forsothe wisdom with richessis is more profitable, and profitith more to men seynge the sunne.
Mwet nukewa su moul enenu in lalmwetmet. Mweyen lalmwetmet uh wo oana ke sie mwet el usrui ma wo.
12 For as wisdom defendith, so money defendith; but lernyng and wisdom hath this more, that tho yyuen lijf to `her weldere.
Lalmwetmet ac fah asot nu sum inse misla oana mani uh. Lalmwetmet uh karingin moul lom, na pa inge ma wo ke etauk uh.
13 Biholde thou the werkis of God, that no man may amende hym, whom God hath dispisid.
Nunku ke ma God El orala. Sie mwet ac aksuwosyela fuka sie ma God El akkihyela?
14 In a good day vse thou goodis, and bifore eschewe thou an yuel day; for God made so this dai as that dai, that a man fynde not iust playnyngis ayens hym.
Ke pacl ma nukewa wo nu sum uh, engankin; ac ke pacl ma upa uh sikyak, esam lah God El supu kewana pacl in engan ac pacl upa; kom koflana etu lah mea ac sikyak tok.
15 Also Y siy these thingis in the daies of my natyuyte; a iust man perischith in his riytfulnesse, and a wickid man lyueth myche tyme in his malice.
Nga liye tari ma nukewa ke moul lusrongten luk. Oasr mwet sa na misa elos finne oru ma suwohs. Ac oasr mwet moul paht na elos finne oru ma koluk.
16 Nyle thou be iust myche, nether vndurstonde thou more than is nedeful; lest thou be astonyed.
Ke ma inge nik kom arulana orek suwohs ku orek lalmwetmet — mwe mea kom in sifacna unikomi?
17 Do thou not wickidli myche, and nyle thou be a fool; lest thou die in a tyme not thin.
Tusruktu nik kom arulana eiskomyang in oru ma koluk ku oru ma lalfon — efu ku kom in misa meet liki pacl fal lom?
18 It is good, that thou susteyne a iust man; but also withdrawe thou not thin hond from hym; for he that dredith God, is not necligent of ony thing.
Karinginkomyang liki ouiya inge kewa. Kom fin akfulatye God, kom ac nuna sun wo ouiya.
19 Wisdom hath coumfortid a wise man, ouer ten pryncis of a citee.
Lalmwetmet uh ac akwoye sie mwet yohk liki na ma mwet kol singoul ku in oru nu ke sie siti.
20 Forsothe no iust man is in erthe, that doith good, and synneth not.
Wangin sie mwet fin faclu oru ma suwohs pacl nukewa ac tiana orala sie tafongla.
21 But also yyue thou not thin herte to alle wordis, that ben seid; lest perauenture thou here thi seruaunt cursynge thee;
Nik kom lohang nu ke ma nukewa ma mwet uh fahk uh — sahp kom ac lohngak ke mwet kulansap lom el kaskas akkolukye kom,
22 for thi conscience woot, that also thou hast cursid ofte othere men.
ac kom sifacna etu lah kom fahk kas in akkolukye mwet pacl puspis.
23 I asayede alle thingis in wisdom; Y seide, I schal be maad wijs, and it yede awei ferthere fro me, myche more than it was;
Nga orekmakin lalmwetmet luk in srike ma inge nukewa. Nga wotela na ku sik ngan lalmwetmet, tusruktu loesla likiyu.
24 and the depthe is hiy, who schal fynde it?
Sie mwet ac konauk fuka lah mea kalmen moul uh? Arulana loalla nu sesr ac upala kut in kalem kac.
25 I cumpasside alle thingis in my soule, to kunne, and biholde, and seke wisdom and resoun, and to knowe the wickidnesse of a fool, and the errour of vnprudent men.
Tusruktu nga eisyuyang nu ke etauk ac lutlut; nga tuh sulela nga in suk lalmwetmet ac top nu ke mwe siyuk luk, ac in etu lupan koluk ac lalfon lun nikin uh.
26 And Y foond a womman bitterere than deth, which is the snare of hunteris, and hir herte is a net, and hir hondis ben boondis; he that plesith God schal ascape hir, but he that is a synnere, schal be takun of hir.
Oasr ma nga konauk mwen liki na misa uh, pa mutan se su lungse lal uh oana sie sruhf ku sie nwek. Paol ac sruokkomi oana soko sein. Sie mukul su oru ma lungse lun God el ku in kaingla liki mutan sac, a funu sie mukul koluk, mutan sac ac sruokilyana.
27 Lo! Y foond this, seide Ecclesiastes, oon and other, that Y schulde fynde resoun, which my soule sekith yit;
Na Mwet Luti Lalmwetmet el fahk, nga kais kutu srisrik na konauk ma inge ke nga suk top nu ke mwe siyuk luk uh.
28 and Y foond not. I foond o man of a thousynde; Y foond not a womman of alle.
Nga suk kutu pac top saya tuh wangin ma nga konauk. Nga konauk mukul sefanna inmasrlon tausin su nga ku in lulalfongi, ac tia siefanna mutan nga ku in lulalfongi.
29 I foond this oonli, that God made a man riytful; and he medlide hym silf with questiouns with out noumbre. Who is siche as a wijs man? and who knowith the expownyng of a word?
Pa inge ma nga lotela: God El orekutla suwohs ac pwaye, ac kut sifacna oru kut in arulana fohsak.
