Ikrisiasatis 3
1 Ama mopafina maka'zama fore'ma hu kna metere higeno, maka'zama hu kna metere hu'ne.
For every thing there is a season; and a [proper] time is for every pursuit under the heavens.
2 Vahe'ma kasente kna megeno, vahe'ma fri kna me'ne. Hoza hankare kna megeno, hozama hamare kna me'ne.
[There is] a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what hath been planted;
3 Vahe'ma ahefri kna megeno, vahe'ma azeri knamare kna me'ne. Maka'zama tapagema hutre kna megeno, ete kasefa'ma azeri otino ki kna me'ne.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 Zavite kna megeno, kizamare kna me'ne. Asunku'ma hu kna megeno, musema huno avoma hage kna me'ne.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 Havema erino ometre eme atrema hu kna megeno, havema zogi atru hu kna me'ne. Vahe'ma azeri anuki kna megeno, vahe'ma azeri anuoki kna me'ne.
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather up stones; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing;
6 Keonke zanku'ma hake kna megeno, avresra huno'ma ohake kna me'ne. Mago'a zama erinte kna megeno, ante'nea zama eritre kna me'ne.
A time to seek, and a time to let things be lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7 Kukenama tagato hu kna megeno, tagato'ma hu'nea zama rehati kna me'ne. Kema osuno mani kna megeno, keagama hu kna me'ne.
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 Vahe'ma avesinte kna megeno, vahe'ma avesrama hunte kna me'ne. Ha'ma hu kna megeno, ha'ma osuno rimpafru huno mani kna me'ne.
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 Vahe'mo'ma tusi amuhoma huno eri fore nehia zamo'a, na'a knare'za eri fore nehie?
What profit hath [now] he that worketh in that wherein he toileth?
10 Anumzamo'ma knazama tagumpima nentea zana nagra ke'noe.
I have seen the employment, which God hath given to the sons of men to busy themselves therewith.
11 Anumzamo'a mika zana kna fatgo'are knare zantfa huno tro hunte'ne. Ana nehuno manivava zana Anumzamo'a vahe'mofo tumopi ante'ne. Ana hu'neanagi Anumzamo'ma tro'ma hunte'nea zana eseteti'ma agafa huno vuno atumpare'ma vu'nea zantamina vahe'mo'a ke vagaore'ne.
Every thing hath he made beautiful in its [proper] time: he hath also placed the eternity in their heart, without a man's being able to find out the work that God hath made from the beginning to the end.
12 E'ina hu'negu mago'zama ke'na antahinama huana, muse nehuno knare avu'ava'ma hu'zamo maka'zana agatere'ne.
I know that there is nothing good [inherent] in them, but for every one to rejoice and to do what is good during [all] his life.
13 Maka amuho'ma hu'zama eri fore'ma hanaza ne'zane, tinena nene'za musena hiho. Na'ankure e'i ana zantamina Anumzamo museza neramie.
For also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy what is good for all his toil, is likewise a gift of God.
14 Nagra antahi'na ke'na huana, Anumzamo'ma tro'ma hu'nea zantera mago vahe'mo'a kasefa zana tro huntege, eri atregera osugahie. Anumzamo'ma tro'ma hunte'nea zana Agra ko tro hunte'neankino, mevava hugahie. Vahe'mo'zama Agri agoraga'ama mani'ne'za mono'ma huntesagu Anumzamo'a tro hunte'ne.
I know that whatsoever God doth, that will be for ever; to it nothing can be added, and from it there is nothing to be diminished: and God hath so made it, that men should be afraid of him.
15 Mika zama menima fore nehia zana, ko fore hu'nea zamo ete efore nehiankino, ama ana zamo'a henka fore hugahie. Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma ko'ma eri fore'ma hu'nea zanke eri fore huvava nehie.
That which hath been hath long since appeared [again]; and what is to be hath already been; and God seeketh [again] that which is sped away.
16 Mago zama ama mopafima koana, fatgo avu'ava'zama huga'zana netre'za, fatgo osu avu'ava zanke nehaze.
And moreover I have seen under the sun, [that in] the place of justice, even there was wickedness; and [that in] the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.
17 E'ina hige'na amanahu antahintahi nagu'afina antahi'noe, Anumzamo'a fatgo vahe'ene kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera keagare refko huzmantegahie. Na'ankure maka zama hu kna metere hu'neankino, miko tavutavara refko hugahie.
I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every pursuit; and on account of every deed there [will he judge].
18 Hagi vahekura amanahu antahintahi nagra antahi'noe, zagagafa kna hu'none hu'zama ke'za antahi'zama hanagu Anumzamo'a vahera rezmaheno nezamage.
I said in my heart concerning the speaking of the sons of men, that God might make it clear to them, and that they might see that they by themselves are but beasts.
19 Na'ankure zagagafare'ma fore'ma hania zamo'a, vahetera fore hugahie. Zgagafamo'zama nefri'zaza hu'za vahe'mo'za nefrize. Magore huno vahe'mo'a zagagafa agateore'neanki, zagagafane vahe'enena mago zanke hu'na'e. E'ina hu zamo'a agafa'a omaneno knarera osu'ne.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even the same thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one kind of spirit: so that the preeminence of man above the beast is nought; for all is vanity.
20 Vahe'ene zagagafanema frisa'ana kugusopa segaha'e. Kugusopareti regripeno tro huzanante'negu, ete frisukea kugusopa segaha'e.
Every thing goeth unto one place: every thing came from the dust, and every thing returneth to the dust.
21 Vahe'mofo avamumo'a anagamu marenerisigeno, zagagafamofo avamumo'a mopafi ufregahie hu'za mago'a vahe'mo'za nehazanagi, tagra tamage kea ontahi'none.
Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that ascendeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that descendeth downward to the earth?
22 E'ina hu'negu amuhoma huno'ma mago vahe'mo'ma eri fore'ma hania zana erinteno neneno musenkase hino. Na'ankure e'i amuhoma huno'ma eri'zama eri'nea zamofo mizane. E'ina hu'neankino henkama fore'ma hania zamofona, iza knarera hu'nea averi hugahie?
And so did I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to look with pleasure on what will be after him?
