Kohelethu 11
1 Ikia irio ciaku igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, nĩ ũndũ thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ nĩũgaaciona rĩngĩ.
Sende thi breed on watris passynge forth, for aftir many tymes thou schalt fynde it.
2 He andũ mũgwanja rwĩga, ĩĩ, o na ũhe andũ anana, nĩgũkorwo wee ndũngĩmenya mũtino ũrĩa ũngĩũka bũrũri-inĩ.
Yyue thou partis seuene, and also eiyte; for thou woost not, what yuel schal come on erthe.
3 Matu mangĩiyũra mbura, mamiuragia gũkũ thĩ. Mũtĩ ũngĩgũa na mwena wa gũthini, kana mwena wa gathigathini, o harĩa ũgũũaga, hau no ho ũikaraga.
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 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũcũthagĩrĩria rũhuho, ndahaandaga; nake ũrĩa ũroraga matu, ndagethaga.
He that aspieth the wynd, sowith not; and he that biholdith the cloudis, schal neuere repe.
5 Tondũ ndũũĩ njĩra ĩrĩa rũhuho rũgeraga, o na kana ũrĩa mwana athondekagwo nda-inĩ ya nyina, ũguo noguo ũtangĩmenya wĩra wa Ngai, o we Mũũmbi wa indo ciothe.
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 Haanda mbeũ ciaku rũciinĩ, na hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, ndũkahurũkie moko maku, nĩgũkorwo ndũũĩ iria ikaagĩra, kana nĩ ici, kana nĩ icio ingĩ, kana hihi ikaagĩra o cierĩ.
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 Ũtheri nĩ mwega, namo maitho nĩmakenagĩra kuona riũa.
The liyt is sweet, and delitable to the iyen to se the sunne.
8 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o na angĩgĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka mĩingĩ atĩa-rĩ, nĩamĩkenagĩre yothe. No nĩaririkanage matukũ ma nduma, tondũ magaakorwo marĩ maingĩ. Maũndũ mothe magooka nĩ ma tũhũ.
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 Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mwanake ũyũ, kenagĩra ũnini waku, na ũreke ngoro yaku ĩgũkenagie matukũ-inĩ ma wĩthĩ waku. Thiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa wĩyendeire na ngoro yaku, o na ĩrĩa yonagwo ĩrĩ mĩega nĩ maitho maku, no ũmenye atĩrĩ, harĩ maũndũ macio mothe, Ngai nĩagagũciirithia.
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, eheria gwĩtanga ngoro-inĩ yaku, na weherie mathĩĩna mwĩrĩ-inĩ waku, tondũ wĩthĩ waku na hinya wa mwĩrĩ no cia tũhũ.
Do thou awei ire fro thin herte, and remoue thou malice fro thi fleisch; for whi yongthe and lust ben veyne thingis.
