Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it [is] great on man:
Aseneno richo machielo e piny, kendo obedo sandruok ahinya ni dhano:
2 A man to whom God giveth wealth, and riches, and honour, and there is no lack to his soul of all that he desireth, and God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it; this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.
Nyasaye miyo dhano mwandu, ngima maber kod luor makende, mondo kik obed maonge gimoro amora ma chunye dwaro, makmana Nyasaye ok miye thuolo mar bedo gi mor kuomgi, kendo ngʼato nono ema bedo mamor kodgi. Maonge tiende, kendo en richo marach moloyo.
3 If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, 'Better than he [is] the untimely birth.'
Ngʼato nyalo bedo kod nyithindo mia achiel kendo odak higni mangʼeny; to kata bed ni odak mangʼeny maromo nade, ka ok onyal yudo mor kuom mwandune kendo ok oike maber ka otho, to awacho ni nyathi monywol kosetho ber moloye.
4 For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in darkness his name is covered,
Nywol mar nyathi ma kamano en kayiem nono, olal e mudho kendo kata nying ok chake.
5 Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.
Kata obedo ni ne ok oneno wangʼ chiengʼ kamano, kata ngʼeyo gimoro amora, to en gi kwe moloyo ngʼat
6 And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?
modak higni gana gi gana to onge gi mor. Donge giduto gidhi mana kamoro achiel?
7 All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.
Dhano tiyo matek mondo oyud gima ochamo, to kata kamano gik moyudo ok rome.
8 For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?
En angʼo ma ngʼama riek nigo moloyo ngʼama ofuwo? En ohala mane ma ngʼama ofuwo yudo kuom ngʼeyo kaka dodimbre e nyim joma moko?
9 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ber bedo mamor gi gik ma in-go moloyo bedo gi gombo kuom gima iongego. Ma bende en gima onge tiende kendo ochalo mana kalawo bangʼ yamo.
10 What [is] that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it [is] man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.
Gimoro amora mantiere nosemi nyinge chon, kendo gima dhano en bende nosengʼe; onge ngʼama nyalo piem gi ngʼama oloye gi teko.
11 For there are many things multiplying vanity; what advantage [is] to man?
Kaka weche bedo mathoth, e kaka gibedo maonge tiendgi. To ere kaka mano miyo ngʼato ohala?
12 For who knoweth what [is] good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun?
Ere ngʼama nyalo ngʼeyo gima ber ma dhano onego tim e ngima machiekni kendo manono makadho mana ka tipo? Koso ere ngʼama nyalo nyise gima biro timorene e piny bangʼ thone?
