Ikrisiasatis 6
1 Hagi mago kefo zama mopafima me'neno'ma vahe'mofoma knama nemia zama koana,
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is abundant with man:
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.
a man to whom God shall give wealth, and substance, and honour, and he wants nothing for his soul of all things that he shall desire, yet God shall not give him power to eat of it, for a stranger shall devour it: this is vanity, and an evil infirmity.
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.
If a man beget a hundred [children], and live many years, yea, however abundant the days of his years shall be, yet [if] his soul shall not be satisfied with good, and also he have no burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he.
4 Na'ankure e'inahu mofavremo'a arera rimpafima fritegeno kasentegeno, frino amnezankna higeno hanizamo refitegeno agi'a nomane.
For he came in vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered in darkness.
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.
Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known rest: there is [no more rest] to this one than another.
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.
Though he has lived to the return of a thousand years, yet he has seen no good: do not all go to one 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 the labour of a man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite shall not be 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?
For [what] advantage has the wise man over the fool, since [even] the poor knows how to walk in the direction of life?
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.
The sight of the eyes is better than that which wanders in soul: this is also vanity, and waywardness of spirit.
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.
If anything has been, its name has already been called: and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is 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 there are many things which increase vanity.
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.
What advantage has a man? for who knows [what is] good for a man in his life, [during] the number of the life of the days of his vanity? and he has spent them as a shadow; for who shall tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
