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.

All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.

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.

Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.

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 evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that — to 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.

For him who is joined to all the living there is hope; a living 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.

The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.

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 and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which 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.

Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.

8 Maka zupa knare'nare kukena nehunka, masavena kanuntera fre vava huo.

Let your clothing be white at all times, and let not your head be without oil.

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.

Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do 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 comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going. (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.

And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come 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.

Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

13 Hagi ama mopafima fore'ma nehia zantmima negogeno'ma, mago knare antahintahima nenamino nazeri musema hiana ama'ne,

This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed 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 little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about 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 there was in the town a poor, wise man, and he, by his wisdom, kept the town safe. But no one had any memory of that same 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.

Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength, but the poor man's wisdom is not respected, and his words are not given a hearing.

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 words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.

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 instruments of war, but one sinner is the destruction of much good.
