Ikrisiasatis 12
1 Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzanka'amofona antahineminka monora hunto. Hagi henkama havi knafima ufresunka nagra mani'zanigura musena osue hunka hugahane.
Remember also thy Creators in days of thy youth, While that the evil days come not, Nor the years have arrived, that thou sayest, 'I have no pleasure in them.'
2 Zagene ikane, hanafi'mofo masamo'ma kavurgare'ma rehanintirima nosnigeno, ko'ma nerigeno'ma negia hampomo'ma rehanintirima osu'nesire Anumzamofona antahimio.
While that the sun is not darkened, and the light, And the moon, and the stars, And the thick clouds returned after the rain.
3 Hagi ana knafina tamazamo'a hanavemo'a omanena tamahirahi nerenkeno, osi'a tamave nemenkeno, tamavua asu hugahie.
In the day that keepers of the house tremble, And men of strength have bowed themselves, And grinders have ceased, because they have become few. And those looking out at the windows have become dim,
4 Kagesamo'ma ankani orenesigenka eri'zama enerisaza agasasama nentahisante Anumzamofona antahimio. Hagi menina ese nama ageru arigenka onetine. Hianagi ana maka namaramimofo agerumo'a agerura rume vuno ome osi huno taganegahie.
And doors have been shut in the street. When the noise of the grinding is low, And [one] riseth at the voice of the bird, And all daughters of song are bowed down.
5 Agonaregama mareri zanku'ma koroma osuge, ra'naregama uramizanku'ma koro'ma osuge, almoni zafa amosre gna huno kazokamo efeke osuge, fri'zama nehia kenumo'ma hagagi hagagi'ma nehiaza osuge, vea zama hu kavesi'zamo'ma evuoramige'ma hu'nenire Anumzamofona antahimio. Mani vava kuma mati'matitegama vurava'o osuge, vogisifama omase'nenankeno vahe'mo'ma zavima ote'nenire Anumzanka'amofona antahimio.
Also of that which is high they are afraid, And of the low places in the way, And the almond-tree is despised, And the grasshopper is become a burden, And want is increased, For man is going unto his home age-during, And the mourners have gone round through the street.
6 Kasefa vahe'ma mani'nenante Anumzanka'amofona antahimio. Hagi silva nofimo akampru osunenigeno, golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kavomo'ma takoma osu'nenire tro'ma hugante'nea Anumzamofona antahimio. Avega ante'negeno tinkavomo'a takora huge, kavore'ma rente'nea nofi'ma avreno tinkerifima uneramia nofimo'a havizana osino.
While that the silver cord is not removed, And the golden bowl broken, And the pitcher broken by the fountain, And the wheel broken at the well.
7 Ana'ma hanigeno'a kugusopamo'a eteno moparega vinkeno, tami'nea netega avamutimo'a Anumzamofontega ete vugahie.
And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.
8 Mika zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne huno rempi humi' ne'mo'a hu'ne. Tamage huno ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omane'ne.
Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, the whole [is] vanity.
9 Rempi humi ne'mo'a knare antahi'zana nagrike suzane huno osu'neanki, maka zama antahino keno'ma hu'nea zana vahetmina rempi huzmi'ne. Vahe'mofo knare antahi'zana antahino keno hu so'e huteno, isa'are erinte fatgo hutere huno krente'ne.
And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out — he made right many similes.
10 Hagi rempi humi ne'mo'a haganentake nanekema huama'ma hunakura hakeno keno erifore huteno, ana antahi'zana knare huno tamage nanekea eriama huno krente'ne.
The preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and, written [by] the upright, words of truth.
11 Knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekemo'a, sipisipi afu azeri fatgo nehia agona azotagna hu'ne. Hagi knare antahi'zane vahe'mofo nanekema eri atruma hu'zamo'a, rama'a nirireti zafa ahentroko higeno hankavetino meankna hugahie.
Words of the wise [are] as goads, and as fences planted [by] the masters of collections, they have been given by one shepherd.
12 Hianagi mofavrenimoka mago'ene kavumro nanekea kasamigahue, rama'a avontafe'ma kre zankura kva huo. Na'ankure avontafe'ma kre'zamo'a atumpa'a omnegeno, avontafe'ma hamprino antahi'zama erizamo'a kazeri kavresra hugahie.
And further, from these, my son, be warned; the making of many books hath no end, and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh.
13 Hago ana maka nanekea huvagaroe. Hagi amanage hu'na vagare nanekea hugahue, Anumzamofonku korora huntenka agoraga'a nemaninka kasege'a avaririo, na'ankure e'i ana maka vahe'mo'ma amage antesia ke me'ne.
The end of the whole matter let us hear: — 'Fear God, and keep His commands, for this [is] the whole of man.
14 Hagi maka zantmima oku'a nehuna zane, knare tavutva nehuna zane, havi tavutva nehuna zantera Anumzamo'a keaga huranteno refko hugahie.
For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'
