Ikrisiasatis 9
1 Ana hige'na ama ana maka zama rezaganena koana, fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'mo'ene knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'enema, maka zama neha'a zamo'a Anumzamofo azampi me'ne. E'ina hu'neankino mago vahe'ma avesintege avesra huntege'ma hu'zana vahe'mo'a keno antahinora osu'ne.
So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.
2 Maka fatgo avu'ava'ene vahero, kefo avu'ava'ene vahero, knare vahero, havi vahero, agruhu vahero, agru osu vahero, mono vahero, mono ontahi vahera, ana maka vahe'mo'a mago'zahu kanteke vugahie. Hagi Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama nehaza vahete'ene Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama huzankuma koroma nehaza vahete'enena mago zahu zanke fore hugahie.
It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.
3 Ana maka vahe'motare'ma mago zahu'zama fore'ma nehia zamo'a knarera nosie. E'ina hu'negu vahe'mo'za zamagra'a kegava hu'neza knare avu'avara nosazanki'za zamagra'a zamavesi'zamofo amage'nente'za, ome havizana nehaze. Hagi ana amefira mago'zana omane'neanki, fri'za nevaze.
This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
4 Hianagi kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahe'mokizmia amuha zazmia me'ne. Na'ankure zamagra amanage hu'za nehaze, kasefa huno mani'nea kramo'a fri'nea laionia agatere'ne hu'za nehaze.
There is hope, however, for anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
5 Hagi kasefa'ma huta mani'nona vahe'mota, frigahune huta antahi'none. Hianagi fri'naza vahe'mo'za magozankura zamagesa ontahige, mago zamofo antahintahimo'a antahintahi zamifina nomanege'za, vahe'mo'zanena antahi nozamize.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Ana vahe'ma fri'zageno'a vahe'ma zamavesi nezmante'za, zamavaresrama hunezmante'za, kezmanunuma nehaza antahintahi zamo'enena ana maka fanene nehie. Ana hu'neankiza ete ru'enena ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantamina nege'za, antahintahia osugahaze.
Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.
7 E'ina hu'negu muse nehunka vunka nezanka'a ome nenenka, waini tinka'a ome no, na'ankure Anumzamo'a ko e'inahuzana hugahane huno hu izo hugante'ne.
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
8 Maka zupa knare'nare kukena nehunka, masavena kanuntera fre vava huo.
Let your garments always be white, and never spare the oil for your head.
9 Ama mopafima agafa'a omne knama maninka vanana kna'afina, Anumzamo'ma kamigenka avesima nentana a'ka'anena muse hunka manio. Na'ankure ama mopafima amuhoma hunka maninka vanana zamofo mizama'a kami'ne.
Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.
10 Inanknahu eri'zama ama mopafima erisanana maka hankaveka'reti hunka erio. Na'ankure frinka matitega vananana eri'zana ome e'orige, eri'za antahintahia ome retro huge, antahi'zana erige knare antahi'zanena erigera osugahie. (Sheol h7585)
Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. (Sheol h7585)
11 Hagi ete mago zama ama mopafima koana, tusi zama huno agama nerea vahe'mo'a agare zokago'ma reana, vahera zamagaterekera nosigeno, hankave ha' vahe'mo'za hara huzmagateregara nosaze. Anahukna huno knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a agakura nehigeno, maka zama knare huno tro'ma nehia vahe'mo'a feno vahera nomanigeno, knare huno avonoma huno antahi'zama eria vahe'mofo nomani' zama'amo'a knarera nosie. Hianagi knare kankamunte'ma ruhiza'ma huterema nehaza vahe'mo'za knarera nehaze.
I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.
12 Na'ankure mago vahe'mo'a knazama avate'ma esiankna antahino keno osu'neankino, kukomo nozame azerigeno antri nehiaza huge, krifumo nama azerigeno antri nehiankna huno hazenke zamo'a vahetera ame huno ne-e.
For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.
13 Hagi ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantmima negogeno'ma, mago knare antahintahima nenamino nazeri musema hiana ama'ne,
I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:
14 mago osi kumapina osi'a vahe mani'nazageno, hihamu'ane kini ne'mo'a sondia vahe'ane eno kuma keginamofo tavaonte mopa kateno ante hihi huno marerino hara huzmante'za hu'ne.
There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
15 Hagi ana kumapina mago amunte omne ne' nemania ne'mo'a, knare antahizama'areti ana kumara agu'vazi'ne. Hianagi mago vahe'mo'e huno ana'ma hu'nea zankura antahi omi'naze.
Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
16 Ana higeno knare antahi'zamo'a hankavea agatere'neanagi, amunte omane ne'mofo knare antahizankura vahe'mo'za antahimi'za zazatera novaze.
And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
17 Knare antahi'zane ne'mo'ma akoheno'ma hania ke'ma antahi'zamo'a, neginagi kini ne'mo'ma ranke'ma huno kema nehigeno'ma antahi'zana agatere'ne.
The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
18 Knare antahi zama eri'zamo ha'zama ante zana agatere'ne. Hianagi kumike ne'mo'a rama'a knare'zantamina eri haviza hugahie.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
