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.

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and look, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was 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.

Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.

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

Yes, better than them both is him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that 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.

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after 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 fool folds his hands together and ruins himself.

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.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and chasing after wind.

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

Then I returned and saw vanity 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.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.

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 labor.

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

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

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

Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone?

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.

If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is 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.

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more.

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.

For out of prison he came forth to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

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

I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.

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, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
