Ikrisiasatis 6
1 Hagi mago kefo zama mopafima me'neno'ma vahe'mofoma knama nemia zama koana,
There is another evil I have seen under the sun, and it weighs heavily upon mankind:
2 Anumzamo'a mago'a vahera zago fenona nezmianagi, ana vahera atregeno amuho'ma huno eri fore'ma nehiazana neneno musena nosie. Hianagi ana vahe'mo'a ana zantamina atreno frigeno, ru vahe'mo'za e'nerize. E'i zamo'a havizantfa hu'neankino, agafa'a omne'ne.
God gives a man riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; but God does not allow him to enjoy them. Instead, a stranger will enjoy them. This is futile and a grievous affliction.
3 Hagi mago ne'mo'ma 100'a mofavreramima anteteno muse osu nomani'zama manime vuno ozafa omereno frisige'zama knare'ma hu'za aseontesageno'a, haviza hugahie. Arera arimpafima fri'negeno'ma kasentea mofavrema asente'zamo, ana nera agatereno knare zantfa hugahie.
A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
4 Na'ankure e'inahu mofavremo'a arera rimpafima fritegeno kasentegeno, frino amnezankna higeno hanizamo refitegeno agi'a nomane.
For a stillborn child enters in futility and departs in darkness, and his name is shrouded in obscurity.
5 E'i ana fri mofavremo'a zagea kege, mago zana keno antahinora nosianagi, 100'a mofavrema anteteno manime vuno ozafa omereno fria nera agatereno manigasa nehie.
The child, though neither seeing the sun nor knowing anything, has more rest than that man,
6 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma 1 tausenia kafu'a maniteno ete mago'ane 2 tauseni'a kafua manigahianagi, mani'zama'afima musema huno mani'noma ovaniana knarera osu'ne. Na'ankure tarega'mokea magozahu huke frike magoke kumapi umanigaha'e.
even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
7 Vahe'mo'ma maka eri'zama amuhoma huno eneriana agrama agipima nesia zanku eri'zana enerie. Hianagi ana nezamo'a amura nosie.
All a man’s labor is for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.
8 E'ina hu'negu inankna kazigati knare antahi'zane ne'mo'a, neginagi antahi'zane nera agatere'ne? Hagi amunte omne ne'mo'ma maka zama eri fore nehuno, vahe zamavugama knare avu'ava'ma huno vanoma hania zamo'a, nankna huno aza hugahie?
What advantage, then, has the wise man over the fool? What gain comes to the poor man who knows how to conduct himself before others?
9 Nazano ante'nenana zankura muse nehunka, onte'nenana zama erizankura antahintahia huvava osuo. E'inahu zamo'a zaho'ma avaririankna hu'neankino, agafa'a omane'ne.
Better what the eye can see than the wandering of desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
10 Maka zama fore'ma huno me'neana, ko agia ante'nea zantaminke megeno, nanknahu zantami mago mago vahetera fore hugahie, ko Anumzamo'a keno antahino hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu agafa'a omane zantera, Anumzamo'enena kehara osuo.
Whatever exists was named long ago, and what happens to a man is foreknown; but he cannot contend with one stronger than he.
11 Rama'a kema hu zampintira, ana kemofo agafa'a ontahigahane. E'ina hu'negu rama'a kema hanunka, nankna knare'za erifore hugahane?
For the more words, the more futility—and how does that profit anyone?
12 Osi'a knama ama mopafima manisunana, so'e manizama mani'zana iza antahino keno hu'ne. Mago'a zamofo amema'amo'ma hiaza huta, osi'a knafima agafa'a omane nomanizama manisuna knafina, knare'ma huno manisia zana magomo'e huno keno antahinora osu'ne. Fritama vutesunkenoma ama mopafima fore'ma hania zana, mago vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osugahie.
For who knows what is good for a man during the few days in which he passes through his fleeting life like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will come after him under the sun?
