Ikrisiasatis 4

1 Hagi mago zama koana, ama mopafina vahe'ma knama amino azeri havizama hu zamo'a mevava huno nevige'na ke'noe. Ana nehige'za vahe'mo'za zavira netazanagi, vahe'mo'za zamazeri amnea nosaze. Vahe'ma knama zamiza zamazeri havizama nehaza vahera hanave vaheki'za, hanavezmi omane vahera zamazeri haviza nehaze.

And again I saw all the cruel things which are done under the sun; there was the weeping of those who have evil done to them, and they had no comforter: and from the hands of the evil-doers there went out power, but they had no comforter.

2 E'ina hige'na fri'naza vahe'mo'za tasimu'ma erita mani'nona vahera tagatere'za musena nehaze hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.

So my praise was for the dead who have gone to their death, more than for the living who still have life.

3 Hianagi knare zantfama hu'neana, kaseozmantenage'za ama mopafima havi avu'avazama onke'naza vahe'mo'za knarera hu'naze.

Yes, happier than the dead or the living seemed he who has not ever been, who has not seen the evil which is done under the sun.

4 Hagi mago'zama koana, maka eri'zama vahe'mo'zama hankavezmima eri zamavuga atre'zama enerizana, tava'ozmire'ma nemaniza vahe'mokizmi zante kezmanunu nehu'za, anahu kna vahe asenaku amuhoa hu'za eri'zana e'nerize. Hianagi ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omaneza tro nehazankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehaze.

And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

5 Hagi neginagi vahe'mo'za eri'zana e'ori zamazana renamagiza mani'za zamo hige'za, zamagra zamagakura nehu'za fri'zana nehaze.

The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.

6 Hagi nagesama antahuana, osi'a fenoma anteno fruma huno mani'zamo'a, tusi amuho huno rama'a fenoma eritru hu'zana agaterene. Na'ankure rama'a zama eri atruhu antahintahireti'ma amuhoma huno eri'zama eri zamo'a, agafa'a omneno zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.

One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.

7 Hagi mago'ma agafa'a omane zama ama mopafima ke'noana ama'nahu knaza ke'noe.

Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.

8 Mago ne'ma afu agna'ma omanigeno, mofavre onte'neanagi, tusi amuho huno eri'zana erino fenona eritru nehianagi, ana zamo'a knarera hunonte. Hianagi amanahu agenoka agra'a antahinonke, Izanku hu'na ama eri'zana e'nerue? Na'a hige'na maraguzati'na erizantera nehu'na musena hu'na nomanue huno nehie. Ana maka zamo'a agafa'a omne zamo kna nemie.

It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

9 Tare vahe'mokema eri'zama eri'zamo magoke vahe'mo'ma eri'zama eri'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure taremokea oza aza huke eri'zana erigaha'ankino, knare hugaha'e.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.

10 Hagi mago'mo'ma traka'ma hanigeno'a, magomo'a azeri otigahie. Hianagi trakama hanigenoma azahu vahe'ma omani'nimofona kasunku hunto.

And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.

11 Anahu kna huno, taremokema magopima masena'ana amuho huke masegaha'e. Hianagi magokemo'ma agraku'ma masesiana inankna huno amuhoa hugahie?

So again, if two are sleeping together they are warm, but how may one be warm by himself?

12 Magoke vahera ahe'za azeri haviza hugahazanagi, tare vahe'mokea hara huke ohevari ahevri (oza aza) hugaha'e. Hagi 3'a nofima magokepima erinteno zagi'nenia nofira ame hunora eri akamprura osugahie.

And two attacked by one would be safe, and three cords twisted together are not quickly broken.

13 Amunte omane kasefa vahe'ma mani'neno, knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'zamo'a, ozafa kini ne' mani'neno avumro'ma ante ke'ma eri atre'zana agatere'ne.

A young man who is poor and wise is better than a king who is old and foolish and will not be guided by the wisdom of others.

14 Ana kasefa ne'mo'a amunte omne nagapinti fore hu'nenianagi, amne feno vahera fore hugahie. Ana nehuno kina nompintira amane kinia efore hugahie.

Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.

15 Ana'ma hige'na kogeno ana maka vahe'mo'a ana (nehaza) kasefa kini ne'mofo amage'nentaze.

I saw all the living under the sun round the young man who was to be ruler in place of the king.

16 Ohampriga'a vahe krerfamo'za kasefa kini ne'mofo kaziga mani'naze. Hianagi henkama fore hu'za esnaza, kasefa kini nekura musena huontegahaze. Ama ana zamo'enena agafa'a omneneankino, zaho'ma avaririankna nehie.

There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
