Ekiliziastis 11
1 Gbasapụ aka gị nʼinye onyinye nʼihi na mgbe ọtụtụ ụbọchị gasịrị ị ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ gị.
Sende thi breed on watris passynge forth, for aftir many tymes thou schalt fynde it.
2 Kee akụ gị ụzọ asaa maọbụ ụzọ asatọ nʼihi na ị maghị ụdị ihe ndaba ọjọọ nwere ike ịbịakwasị gị nʼobodo.
Yyue thou partis seuene, and also eiyte; for thou woost not, what yuel schal come on erthe.
3 Mgbe eluigwe rujiri, mmiri ga-ezo; mgbe osisi dara, maọbụ nʼugwu maọbụ na ndịda, ebe ahụ ka ọ na-atọgbọ.
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 Onye na-ele ikuku anya agaghị akụ mkpụrụ ọbụla, onye na-ele igwe ojii anya agaghị ewe ihe ubi.
He that aspieth the wynd, sowith not; and he that biholdith the cloudis, schal neuere repe.
5 Dịka mmadụ na-apụghị ịmata ụzọ ikuku si aga maọbụ otu ndụ ọhụrụ si ebido nʼime afọ nwanyị dị ime, otu a ka o si dịrị ma mmadụ apụghị ịghọta ọrụ Chineke, onye mere ihe niile.
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 Ghaa mkpụrụ gị nʼụtụtụ, esepụkwala aka nʼanyasị, nʼihi na ị maghị nke ga-eto, maọbụ nke a maọbụ nke ọzọ, ha niile nwere ike too nke ọma.
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 Ìhè dị ụtọ, ọ na-amasịkwa anya ịhụ ìhè anyanwụ.
The liyt is sweet, and delitable to the iyen to se the sunne.
8 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ adị ndụ ọtụtụ afọ, ya ṅụrịa nʼime ihe niile, ma ya cheta ụbọchị ọchịchịrị ga-adị ọtụtụ. Ihe niile ndị na-abịa bụ ihe efu.
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 Nwa okorobịa, ọ bụ ihe oke ọṅụ na ị bụ okorobịa. Ya mere, ka obi gị nye gị ọṅụ nʼụbọchị niile nke okorobịa gị. Mee ihe niile ị chọrọ ime; gbasookwa ihe niile nke anya gị na-ahụ. Kama, ghọtakwa nke a, na ị ghaghị ịza ajụjụ nʼihu Chineke nʼihi ihe niile i mere.
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 Ya mere, wezuga nchegbu site nʼobi, wezugakwa nsogbu nke ahụ gị, nʼihi na okorobịa na ịdị ike bụ ihe efu.
Do thou awei ire fro thin herte, and remoue thou malice fro thi fleisch; for whi yongthe and lust ben veyne thingis.
