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 turned and saw all the oppressions which take place under the sun; and, behold, there were the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and from the hand of their oppressors there was violence, and 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 ago 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.

Yea, better than both of them is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work 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 all labor, and all success in work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity, and 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 foldeth his hands together and eateth his own flesh.

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 hand full of quietness, than both hands full of weariness and striving after wind.

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

Then I turned and saw other 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 no one with him; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end to all his labor, and his eye is not satisfied with riches. “For whom, then [[saith he]], do I labor and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity; yea, it is an evil thing!

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 his fellow up; but woe to him who is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to help 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 heat; but how can one be 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.

And if an enemy prevail against one, 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 child poor but wise, than a king old and foolish, who will no more be admonished.

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 cometh forth such a one to reign; for in his own kingdom he was born a poor man.

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

I saw that all the living, who walk under the sun, were with the child who stood up in his stead.

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 to all the people before whom he went forth; yet they that come afterwards shall not rejoice in him. This also is vanity, and striving after wind.
