Ikrisiasatis 11
1 Kagra rama'a kaziga eri'zana e'nerinka, henka'a knare miza erigahane.
Send forth thy bread on the face of the waters, For in the multitude of the days thou dost find it.
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 even to eight, For thou knowest not what evil is on 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 thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they empty [themselves]; And if a tree doth fall in the south or to the north, The place where the tree falleth, there it is.
4 Hanki kagrama zahoku'ene hampo koku'ma avegama antesunka avimzana hankrenka hoza ovasgegahane.
Whoso is observing the wind soweth not, And whoso is looking on the thick clouds reapeth not.
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, How — bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work of God who maketh the whole.
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 at even withdraw not thy hand, For thou knowest not which is right, this or that, Or whether both of them alike [are] good.
7 Masa zamo'a haganentake hu'neankino, vahe'mo'za muse hu'za zagea negaze.
Sweet also [is] the light, And good 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.
But, if man liveth many years, In all of them let him rejoice, And remember the days of darkness, For they are many! all that is coming [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 childhood, And let thy heart gladden thee in days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thy heart, And in the sight of thine eyes, And know thou that for all these, Doth God 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.
And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age [are] vanity!
