1 Na nu amewo faa elabena wò nunana atrɔ ava wò ŋutɔ gbɔwò gbe aɖe gbe emegbe.
Sende thi breed on watris passynge forth, for aftir many tymes thou schalt fynde it.
2 Ma wò nunanawo ɖe akpa adre alo akpa enyi me elabena ɖewohĩ wò ŋutɔ ahiã kpekpeɖeŋu geɖe le ŋkeke siwo ava la me.
Yyue thou partis seuene, and also eiyte; for thou woost not, what yuel schal come on erthe.
3 Ne tsi sɔ gbɔ ɖe lilikpowo me la, tsi dzana. Ne ati aɖe mu eye wòdze dziehe alo anyiehe gome la, etsia afi si wòdze.
If cloudis ben filled, tho schulen schede out reyn on the erthe; if a tre fallith doun to the south, ether to the north, in what euer place it fallith doun, there it schal be.
4 Ame si léa ŋku ɖe ya ƒe ƒoƒo ŋu la, meƒãa nu o eye ame si léa ŋku ɖe lilikpowo ŋu la, meŋea nu o.
He that aspieth the wynd, sowith not; and he that biholdith the cloudis, schal neuere repe.
5 Mawu ƒe mɔwo le manyamanya me na mí abe ale si míenya ya ƒe toƒe o kple ale si ame ƒe gbɔgbɔ gena ɖe vidzĩ ƒe lãme le esime vidzĩ la le dadaa ƒe dɔme la o ene.
As thou knowist not, which is the weye of the spirit, and bi what resoun boonys ben ioyned togidere in the wombe of a womman with childe, so thou knowist not the werkis of God, which is makere of alle thingis.
6 Nɔ wò nukuwo ƒaƒã dzi ko, elabena màte ŋu anya esiwo agbe miemie o; ɖewohĩ wo katã amie.
Eerli sowe thi seed, and thin hond ceesse not in the euentid; for thou woost not, what schal come forth more, this ethir that; and if euer eithir cometh forth togidere, it schal be the betere.
7 Enye nu nyui wɔnuku aɖe be ame nanɔ agbe!
The liyt is sweet, and delitable to the iyen to se the sunne.
8 Ele be ame si tsi, xɔ ƒe geɖe la, nakpɔ dzidzɔ gbe sia gbe le eƒe agbe me, ke wòaɖo ŋku viviti ƒe ŋkekewo dzi, elabena woasɔ gbɔ, eye nu siwo le agbe sia me la nye tofloko sɔŋ ko, ne wotsɔ wo sɔ ɖe agbe kemɛ tɔwo ŋu.
If a man lyueth many yeeris, and is glad in alle these, he owith to haue mynde of derk tyme, and of many daies; and whanne tho schulen come, thingis passid schulen be repreued of vanyte.
9 Ɖekakpui, kpɔ dzidzɔ le wò ɖekakpuime, eye nàna wò dzi naɖu agbe le wò ɖekakpuime. Zɔ ɖe wò dzi ƒe didi kple wò ŋku ƒe nukpɔkpɔ nu, ke nyae be Mawu adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wò le nu siawo katã ta,
Therfor, thou yonge man, be glad in thi yongthe, and thin herte be in good in the daies of thi yongthe, and go thou in the weies of thin herte, and in the biholdyng of thin iyen; and wite thou, that for alle these thingis God shal brynge thee in to doom.
10 eya ta ɖe nuxaxa ɖa le wò dzime, eye nàte nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ɖa xaa tso wò ŋutilã gbɔ, elabena ɖekapuimenɔnɔ kple ŋutsumeɖoɖo hã nye tofloko ko.
Do thou awei ire fro thin herte, and remoue thou malice fro thi fleisch; for whi yongthe and lust ben veyne thingis.
