Kohelethu 6
1 Na rĩrĩ, nĩnyonete ũndũ ũngĩ mũũru gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa, naguo nĩũritũhagĩra andũ mũno:
ʻOku ai ʻae kovi kuo u mamata ki ai ʻi he lalo laʻā, pea ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he tangata.
2 Naguo nĩ atĩ Ngai aheaga mũndũ ũtonga, na indo, o na gĩtĩĩo, agakoragwo na kĩndũ o kĩrĩa gĩothe ngoro yake ĩngĩĩrirĩria, no rĩrĩ, Ngai akaaga kũmũhotithia gũcikenera, no mũndũ ũngĩ mũgeni nĩwe ũcikenagĩra handũ hake. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa tũhũ, na nĩ ũndũ mũũru na wa kĩeha.
Ko e tangata ʻaia ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae paʻanga lahi, mo e koloa lahi, mo e ongoongolelei, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne masiva ai ʻi ha meʻa ki hono laumālie ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne holi ki ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai foaki ʻae mālohi kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke ne kamata ia, ka ʻoku kai ia ʻe he kakai kehe; ko e vaʻinga eni, pea ko e mahaki kovi moʻoni.
3 Mũndũ no agĩe ciana igana rĩmwe na atũũre mĩaka mĩingĩ; no rĩrĩ, o na angĩtũũra ihinda iraaya atĩa, angĩkorwo ndangĩkenera ũgaacĩru wake na aage gũthikwo wega-rĩ, nguuga atĩrĩ, mũndũ ũcio akĩrĩtwo nĩ kĩhuno.
Kapau ʻe tupu ʻi ha tangata ʻae fānau ʻe toko teau, pea moʻui ia ki he ngaahi taʻu lahi, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono taʻu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakapito hono laumālie ʻi he lelei, pea ka mate ia ʻoku ʻikai fai hano putu; ʻoku ou pehē ʻeau, ʻoku lelei hake ʻiate ia ha fanauʻi taʻehoko.
4 Kĩhuno kĩu gĩũkaga kĩrĩ tũhũ, na gĩgathiĩ nduma-inĩ, na rĩĩtwa rĩakĩo rĩkahumbĩrwo nĩ nduma o ro ĩyo.
He koeʻuhi ʻoku hoko mai ia mo e vaʻinga, pea ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻa hono hingoa.
5 O na gũtuĩka gĩtionire riũa kana gĩkĩmenya ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ-rĩ, nĩkĩgĩaga na ũhurũko gũkĩra mũndũ ũcio:
Kaeʻumaʻā eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he laʻā, pe ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha: ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻene fiemālie ʻaʻana ʻi he tokotaha ko ia.
6 Ĩĩ, ti-itherũ o na angĩtũũra mĩaka ngiri ĩmwe maita meerĩ, na aage gũkenera ũgaacĩru wake. Githĩ othe matigĩthiiaga o handũ hamwe?
ʻIo, neongo ʻene moʻui ʻi ha taʻu ʻe ua afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he lelei: ʻikai ʻoku ʻalu kotoa pē ki he potu pe taha?
7 Mũndũ arutaga wĩra wothe na kĩyo nĩguo aiyũrie kanua gake, no gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ngoro yake ĩiganagia.
ʻOku fai ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻae tangata, koeʻuhi ko hono ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fiu ai ʻene holi.
8 Mũndũ mũũgĩ-rĩ, akĩrĩte mũndũ mũkĩĩgu na kĩ? Nake mũndũ mũthĩĩni ũrĩa ũmenyete gũikarania na andũ arĩa angĩ-rĩ, egunaga na kĩ?
He ko e hā ʻoku maʻu lahi hake ʻe he poto ʻiate ia ʻoku vale? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe he masiva, ʻaia ʻoku ʻilo ke ʻalu totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai moʻui?
9 Nĩ kaba kĩrĩa maitho marona, gũkĩra kwangangio nĩ merirĩria. Ũndũ ũyũ o naguo nĩ wa tũhũ, o ta gũtengʼeria rũhuho.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae sio ʻae mata ʻi he holi fano ʻae laumālie: he ko e vaʻinga foki eni mo e fakamamahi ki he laumālie.
10 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩanakorwo kuo kĩaheirwo rĩĩtwa, nake mũndũ nĩamenyekete ũrĩa atariĩ; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũkararania na ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya kũmũkĩra.
Ko e meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai kuo ʻosi hono fakahingoa, pea kuo ʻilo ia ko e tangata: ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fekuki ia mo ia ʻoku mālohi lahi kiate ia.
11 O ũrĩa ciugo iraingĩha, noguo ituĩkaga cia tũhũ, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgunaga mũndũ na kĩ?
Pea ʻi he ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tupulekina ai ʻae vaʻinga, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki he tangata?
12 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmenya maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire mũndũ mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake, matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake manini na ma tũhũ marĩa aniinaga magathira o ta kĩĩruru? Nũũ ũngĩmwĩra ũrĩa gũkaahaana gũkũ thĩ kwaraga riũa aarĩkia kwehera?
He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei ki he tangata ʻi he moʻui ni, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui vaʻinga, ʻaia ʻoku mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata? He ko hai ʻoku faʻa tala ki he tangata ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko kimui ʻiate ia ʻi he lalo laʻā?
