Ikrisiasatis 11

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

Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days.

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.

Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into 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 of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall in the south, or in the north, in the place where the tree falleth, 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 regardeth the clouds shall not 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 wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all things.

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 withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

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

And the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold 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.

For if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that cometh is 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, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things 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.

Therefore remove vexation from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
