Ikrisiasatis 3
1 Ama mopafina maka'zama fore'ma hu kna metere higeno, maka'zama hu kna metere hu'ne.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 Vahe'ma kasente kna megeno, vahe'ma fri kna me'ne. Hoza hankare kna megeno, hozama hamare kna me'ne.
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is 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 cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain 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 lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast 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 tear, 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 for war, and a time for peace.
9 Vahe'mo'ma tusi amuhoma huno eri fore nehia zamo'a, na'a knare'za eri fore nehie?
What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
10 Anumzamo'ma knazama tagumpima nentea zana nagra ke'noe.
I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
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.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even 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 better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
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.
Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the 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 whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before 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 is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago. God seeks again that which is passed away.
16 Mago zama ama mopafima koana, fatgo avu'ava'zama huga'zana netre'za, fatgo osu avu'ava zanke nehaze.
Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
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 there for every purpose and for every work.”
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, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.
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 happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.
20 Vahe'ene zagagafanema frisa'ana kugusopa segaha'e. Kugusopareti regripeno tro huzanante'negu, ete frisukea kugusopa segaha'e.
All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
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 knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes 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?
Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what will be after him?
