Ecclesiastes 11
1 Oasr soakas se fahk mu, “Pahtkakunla ma nom fin kof u, na tukun len pus kom ac fah sifil konauk.”
Cast thy bread upon the waters; for after many days thou shalt find it.
2 Sang kutu ma oasr yurum nu sin mwet itkosr ku oalkosr, mweyen kom koflana etu lah ongoiya fuka ac sikyak nu sum fin faclu.
Give a portion to seven, yea, to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 Acn se na ma soko sak ac topla nu we, ac oanna in sac. Pacl se pukunyeng uh sroalsroalla, na ac afi.
When the clouds are full of rain, they empty upon the earth; and when a tree falleth to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 El su tuni yen eng uh tuku we me pa ac etu pacl tia fal in yok; ac el su tuni pukunyeng uh pa ac etu pacl tia fal in kosrani.
He that watcheth the wind will not sow, and he that gazeth upon the clouds will not reap.
5 God El orala ma nukewa, ac kom tia ku in kalem ke ma El oru, oana ke kom tia ku in kalem ke mutaweyen moul lun sie tulik insien sie mutan pitutu.
As thou knowest not the way of the wind, nor how the bones are formed in the womb of her that is with child, so thou canst not know the work of God, who doeth all things.
6 Oru yok lom an ke lotutang ac oayapa ke eku. Kom tia ku in etu lah nufonna ac kapak wo, ku sie fwil uh ac kapak wo liki ma se ngia.
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand! For thou knowest not whether this shall prosper, or that, or whether both of them shall be alike good.
7 Sie mwe insewowo ke kut liye kalem wolana lun len uh.
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.
8 Engankin yac nukewa ma kom moul uh. Finne loes moul lom, esam lah misa lom fah loes liki. Ma nukewa ma ac sikyak faclu meet liki kom misa, ma na lusrongten.
Yea, though a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him think of the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
9 Mwet fusr, kowos in engankin moul in mwet fusr lowos an. Kowos in insewowo ke kowos srakna fusr. Oru ma kowos lungse oru an, ac suk ma kowos liye mu wo uh. Tusruktu esam lah God El ac nununkekowos ke kutena ma kowos oru.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes! but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
10 Finne oasr mwe akasorye kowos ku mwe akngalye kowos, nimet kowos fosrnga, mweyen pacl in fusr lowos ac mutaweyen moul lowos uh ma lusrongten.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy body! for childhood and youth are vanity.
