Ekiliziastis 3
1 Ihe ọbụla nwere oge; mgbe dịkwara ihe ọbụla a na-eme eme nʼeluigwe.
Alle thingis han tyme, and alle thingis vndur sunne passen bi her spaces.
2 Oge ịmụ nwa na oge ịnwụ anwụ, oge ịkụ ihe na oge ihopu,
Tyme of birthe, and time of diyng; tyme to plaunte, and tyme to drawe vp that that is plauntid.
3 oge igbu egbu; na oge ịgwọ ọrịa, oge itikpọ na oge iwuzi ewuzi,
Tyme to sle, and tyme to make hool; tyme to distrie, and tyme to bilde.
4 oge ịkwa akwa, na oge ịchị ọchị, oge iru ụjụ na oge ite egwu,
Tyme to wepe, and tyme to leiye; tyme to biweile, and tyme to daunse.
5 oge ikposa nkume na oge ịchịkọta nkume, oge ịbakụ na oge ịkwụsị ịbakụ,

Tyme to wynne, and tyme to leese; tyme to kepe, and tyme to caste awei.
7 oge ndọwasị, na oge ndụkọta, oge ịgba nkịtị, na oge ikwu okwu,

8 oge ịhụnanya na oge ịkpọ asị, oge ibu agha, na oge ime udo.
Tyme of loue, and tyme of hatrede; tyme of batel, and tyme of pees.
9 Gịnị bụ nnọọ ihe mmadụ na-enweta site na ndọgbu niile nke nʼọrụ niile ọ na-arụ?
What hath a man more of his trauel?
10 Ahụla m ibu arọ nke Chineke bokwasịrị ndị mmadụ e kere eke.
I siy the turment, which God yaf to the sones of men, that thei be occupied therynne.
11 O meela ka ihe niile maa mma nʼoge nke ya. O tinyekwala ebighị ebi nʼime obi ndị mmadụ; ma o nweghị ka mmadụ ghọta ọrụ Chineke site na mmalite ruo nʼọgwụgwụ.
God made alle thingis good in her tyme, and yaf the world to disputyng of hem, that a man fynde not the werk which God hath wrouyt fro the bigynnyng `til in to the ende.
12 Nʼihi ya, ekpebiri m na ihe dịịrị mmadụ ịchọ bụ obi ụtọ na inwe aṅụrị na ndụ ya niile.
And Y knew that no thing was betere `to a man, `no but to be glad, and to do good werkis in his lijf.
13 Ihe ọzọ bụ ka mmadụ rie, ṅụọ, ma nwee afọ ojuju na ndọgbu niile ọ na-adọgbu onwe ya, nʼihi na ha bụ onyinye si nʼaka Chineke.
For whi ech man that etith and drinkith, and seeth good of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.
14 Amaara m na ihe niile Chineke mere na-adịgidekwa. O nweghị ihe apụrụ itinye na ya, o nweghịkwa ihe apụrụ iwepụkwa site na ya. Chineke na-eme nke a ka ndị mmadụ tụọ egwu ya.
I haue lerned that alle werkis, whiche God made, lasten stidfastli `til in to with outen ende; we moun not adde ony thing to tho, nether take awei fro tho thingis, whiche God made, that he be dred.
15 Ihe ọbụla dị ugbu a, adịlarị na mgbe ochie, ihe ọbụla gaje ịdị dịlarị na mbụ. Chineke na-eme ka ihe niile mere na mgbe gara aga megharịakwa ọzọ.
That thing that is maad, dwellith perfitli; tho thingis that schulen come, weren bifore; and God restorith that, that is goon.
16 Ọzọkwa, achọpụtara m otu ihe nʼokpuru anyanwụ, na ọnọdụ ezi ikpe naanị mmebi iwu jupụtara, nʼebe e kwesiri inwe ikpe ziri ezi ị ga-achọpụta na ihe ọjọọ dịkwa ya.
I siy vndur sunne vnfeithfulnesse in the place of doom; and wickidnesse in the place of riytfulnesse.
17 A gwara m onwe m, “Chineke ga-ekpe, ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume ikpe, nʼihi na a ga-enwe oge maka ihe ọbụla a na-eme eme, oge dịkwa maka ikpe ọrụ niile nke mmadụ ikpe.”
And Y seide in myn herte, The Lord schal deme a iust man, and an vnfeithful man; and the tyme of ech thing schal be thanne.
18 Echere m nʼobi sị, “Ebe mmadụ nọ, Chineke na-anwale ya, ka mmadụ mata na ha dị ka anụmanụ.
I seide in myn herte of the sones of men, that God schulde preue hem, and schewe that thei ben lijk vnresonable beestis.
19 Nʼihi na ihe na-eche mmadụ na anụmanụ bụ otu. Ha abụọ na-eku ume, ha abụọ na-anwụkwa anwụ. Ọ dịghị ihe mmadụ ji karịa anụmanụ. Ihe niile bụ ihe efu.
Therfor oon is the perisching of man and of beestis, and euene condicioun is of euer eithir; as a man dieth, `so and tho beestis dien; alle beestis brethen in lijk maner, and a man hath no thing more than a beeste.
20 Ha niile na-alaghachi nʼotu ebe; ọ bụ nʼaja ka ha si pụta, ebe ahụ kwa ka ha ga-alaghachi.
Alle thingis ben suget to vanyte, and alle thingis goen to o place; tho ben maad of erthe, and tho turnen ayen togidere in to erthe.
21 Onye pụrụ iguzo gbaa akaebe na mmụọ mmadụ na-ala nʼelu ma nke anụmanụ na-ala nʼaja?”
Who knowith, if the spirit of the sones of Adam stieth vpward, and if the spirit of beestis goith dounward?
22 Nʼihi ya, ahụrụ m na ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ ụmụ mmadụ kwesiri ime karịakwa inwe ọṅụ nʼọrụ ha, nʼihi na nke ahụ bụ oke ha nʼebe a. Onye ga-eme ka ha bịaghachi hụ ihe ga-eme nʼazụ ha?
And Y perseyuede that no thing is betere, than that a man be glad in his werk, and that this be his part; for who schal brynge hym, that he knowe thingis that schulen come after hym?
