Eclesiastes 3
1 Ta adda naituding a tiempo para iti amin a banag, ken panawen para iti tunggal panggep iti baba ti langit.
To everything—a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:
2 Adda tiempo iti pannakaiyanak ken adda tiempo iti pannakatay, adda tiempo iti panagmula ken tiempo iti panangparut kadagiti mula,
A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.
3 adda tiempo iti panangpapatay ken adda tiempo iti pannakapaimbag, adda tiempo iti panangdadael ken adda tiempo iti panangbangon,
A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down, And a time to build up.
4 adda tiempo iti panagsangit ken adda tiempo iti panagkatawa, adda tiempo iti panagladingit ken adda tiempo iti panagsasala,
A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a time to skip.
5 adda tiempo iti panangipurwak kadagiti batbato, ken adda tiempo iti panagurnong kadagiti batbato, adda tiempo iti panangarakup kadagiti dadduma a tattao ken adda tiempo iti panagliklik manipud iti pannakaarakup,
A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing.
6 adda tiempo ti panagbiruk kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagsardeng ti panagbirbiruk, adda tiempo ti panagidulin kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagibelleng kadagiti banbanag,
A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.
7 adda tiempo ti panagpigis kadagiti kawkawes ken adda tiempo ti panagisimpa kadagiti kawkawes, adda tiempo ti panagulimek ken adda tiempo ti panagsao,
A time to tear, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.
8 adda tiempo ti panagayat ken adda tiempo ti panaggura, adda tiempo para iti gubat ken adda tiempo para iti kappia.
A time to love, And a time to hate. A time of war, And a time of peace.
9 Ania ti magunggona ti trabahador kadagiti pagbanbanoganna?
What advantage does the doer have in that which he is laboring at?
10 Nakitakon ti trabaho nga inted ti Dios kadagiti tattao a leppasenda.
I have seen the travail that God has given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.
11 Inaramid ti Dios dagiti amin a banbanag a maitutop iti umno a tiempo. Inkabilna pay ti kinaagnanayon kadagiti puspusoda. Ngem saan a maawatan ti sangkatoan dagiti inaramid ti Dios, manipud kadagiti rugrugida agingga kadagiti panagleppasda.
The whole He has made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He has put in their heart without which man does not find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
12 Ammok nga awan ti nasaysayaat para iti siasinoman ngem ti agrag-o ken agaramid iti nasayaat kas agbibiag isuna—
I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,
13 ken mangan ken uminom koma ti tunggal maysa ken maawatanda koma no kasano a ragsakenda dagiti nasasayaat nga aggapu kadagiti amin a trabahoda. Sagut daytoy manipud iti Dios.
indeed, even every man who eats and has drunk and seen good by all his labor, it [is] a gift of God.
14 Ammok nga agtalinaed nga agnanayon ti aniaman nga aramiden ti Dios. Awan ti mainayon wenno maikkat iti daytoy, gapu ta ti Dios ti nangaramid iti daytoy tapno umasideg dagiti tattao kenkuana nga addaan iti dayaw.
I have known that all that God does is for all time, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God has worked that they fear before Him.
15 Aniaman nga adda ket addan idi, aniaman nga umaddanto ket addan. Inaramid ti Dios nga agbirok dagiti tattao kadagiti nakalemmeng a banbanag.
What is that which has been? Already it is, and that which [is] to be has already been, and God requires that which is pursued.
16 Ket nakitak nga iti baba ti init, adda ti kinadangkes iti ayan koma ti hustisia, ken iti lugar ti kinalinteg ket masansan a masarakan ti kinadangkes.
And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment—there [is] the wicked; and the place of righteousness—there [is] the wicked.
17 Kinunak iti pusok, “Ukomento ti Dios ti nalinteg ken nadangkes iti umno a tiempo para iti tunggal pasamak ken tunggal aramid.”
I said in my heart, “The righteous and the wicked God judges, for a time [is] to every matter and for every work there.”
18 Kinunak iti pusok, “Subsuboken ti Dios dagiti tattao tapno ipakitana kadakuada a kasla da la dagiti ayup.”
I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves [are] beasts.
19 Ta agpada a gasat ti mapaspasamak kadagiti tattao a mapaspasamak kadagiti ayup. Kas kadagiti ayup, matay amin a tattao. Masapul nga umangesda amin ti agpada nga angin, tapno iti kasta a wagas awan ti pangatiwan dagiti tattao kadagiti ayup. Saan kadi a kasla laeng napardas nga anges dagiti amin a banag?
For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to] the beasts, even one event [is] to them; as the death of this, so [is] the death of that; and one spirit [is] to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole [is] vanity.
20 Maymaysa a lugar ti pappapanan dagiti amin a banag. Naggapu amin iti tapok, ket agsubli amin iti tapok.
The whole are going to one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back to the dust.
21 Siasino ti makaammo no ti espiritu ti sangkataoan ket agpangato ken dagiti espiritu dagiti ayup ket agpababa iti uneg ti daga?
Who knows the spirit of the sons of man that is going up on high, and the spirit of the beast that is going down below to the earth?
22 Isu a naamirisko manen nga awan ti nasaysayaat para ti siasinoman ngem ti agragsak iti trabahona, ta dayta ti naituding nga aramidenna. Siasino ti makaisubli kenkuana tapno makitana no ania ti mapasamak kalpasan ti biagna?
And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man rejoice in his works, for it [is] his portion; for who brings him to look on that which is after him?
