Ikrisiasatis 11

1 Kagra rama'a kaziga eri'zana e'nerinka, henka'a knare miza erigahane.

Cast thy bread upon the running waters: for after a long time thou shalt find it again.

2 Zago fenonka'a 7ni'afino 8'afino refako hunka atregeno erizana erino. Na'ankure okima ama mopafima havizama fore'ma hania knazana ontahi'nane.

Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

3 Hagi hampomo'ma ome knama nehuno'a, ko tagiramino nerie. Hagi zafama antagi atregeno'ma noti kazigo, sauti kazigama umasere anante nemane.

If the clouds be full, they will pour out rain upon the earth. If the tree fall to the south, or to the north, in what place soever it shall fall, there shall it be.

4 Hanki kagrama zahoku'ene hampo koku'ma avegama antesunka avimzana hankrenka hoza ovasgegahane.

He that observeth the wind, shall not sow: and he that considereth the clouds, shall never reap.

5 Zaho'mofo kama kenka antahinka osuge, osi mofavrema areranku'afima fore'ma nehiazama kenka antahinka osanaza hunka, Anumzamo'ma e'neria eri'zane, maka zama tro'ma nehia zana kenka antahinka osugahane.

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of all.

6 Nanterana avimza avinka'a nehankrenka, kinaganena avimza avina hankro. Na'ankure mago avimzamo'ma havizama hanigeno'a, mago avimzamo'a knare hugahie. Huge anantarega avimzamokea knare hugaha'e.

In the morning sow thy seed, and In the evening let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better.

7 Masa zamo'a haganentake hu'neankino, vahe'mo'za muse hu'za zagea negaze.

The light is sweet, and it is delightful for the eyes to see the sun.

8 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma rama'a kafu zagema manino vunaku'ma hanuno'a, ana maka knafina muse huno manino vino. Hianagi ana knaramimpina rama'a havi knaramina me'neanki, agera okanino. Ana maka zama esnia zana agafa'a omne'ne.

If a man live many years, and have rejoiced in them all, he must remember the darksome time, and the many days: which when they shall come, the things past shall be accused of vanity.

9 Kasefa vahe'ma mani'zana knare hu'neanki, kasefa vahe'moka maka kna muse hunka nemaninka, nazano hunaku'ma hanana zana amne huo. Hianagi kagera okanio, maka zama hanana zana Anumzamo'a keaga huganteno refko hugahie.

Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment.

10 E'ina hu'negu krimpa ahezana netrenka, kavufga kegava hunka manio. Na'ankure kasefa kavufgane hihamukanena amneza me'neankino agafa'a omane'ne.

Remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh. For youth and pleasure are vain.
