Ecclesiastes 3
1 Ma nukewa ma sikyak fin faclu sikyak fal nu ke pacl la.
To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
2 Oasr pacl in isusla, ac pacl in misa, Oasr pacl in yukwiya, ac pacl in fusak.
A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted.
3 Oasr pacl in uniya, ac pacl in akkeye, Oasr pacl in kunausla, ac pacl in musaeak.
A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
4 Oasr pacl in tung, ac pacl in israsr, Oasr pacl in mwemelil, ac pacl in onsrosro.
A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
5 Oasr pacl in sisalik eot uh, ac pacl in eisani eot uh, Oasr pacl in kafis, ac pacl in tia kafis.
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.
6 Oasr pacl in suk, ac pacl in tila suk, Oasr pacl in liyaung, ac pacl in sisla.
A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
7 Oasr pacl in seya, ac pacl in twani, Oasr pacl in kaskas, ac pacl in tia kaskas.
A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
8 Oasr pacl nu ke lungse, ac pacl nu ke srunga, Oasr pacl nu ke mweun, ac pacl nu ke misla.
A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
9 Mea sie mwet el eis ke orekma nukewa lal?
What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
10 Nga etu ke mwe utuk toasr ma God El filiya facsr.
I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
11 El oaki pacl fal nu ke ma nukewa. El oaki nu sesr tuh kut in kena etu ke pacl fahsru, tusruktu El tia ase nu sesr in etu nufon ma El oru.
He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.
12 Ke ma inge nga akilen lah ma kut ku in oru pa in engan ac oru wo ke kuiyasr nufon ke lusen moul lasr uh.
I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
13 Kut nukewa enenu in mongo ac nim ac engankin ma kut orekma nu kac. Ma inge mwe kite lun God.
And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
14 Nga etu lah ma nukewa God El oru uh ac oan ma pahtpat. Kut koflana laesla kutena ma nu kac ku eisla kutena ma liki. Ac God El oru ouinge tuh mwet uh in sunakunul ac akfulatyal.
I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
15 Kutena ma su sikyak tari, sikyak pac in pacl inge. Kutena ma su ac fah sikyak in pacl fahsru, nuna sikyak tari meet. God El oru tuh ma inge in sikyak na sikyak.
What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
16 Sayen ma inge, nga liye pac mu fin facl se inge, yen ma nununku suwohs ac pwaye eneneyuk in oasr we, ma koluk ac sesuwos pa oasr we.
And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
17 Nga fahk nu sik sifacna, “God El fah nununku mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk oana sie, mweyen ma nukewa ac kain in mukuikui nukewa fah sikyak in pacl fal la.”
I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.
18 Nga nunku tuh God El srike kut in akkalemye nu sesr lah kut tia sie na liki ma orakrak uh.
I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.
19 Ma kalem uh pa saflaiyen mwet uh, ac ma orakrak uh, oana sie. Elos kewa ma orekla ac oasr momong la, ac kewana ac misa. Mwet uh tia fulat liki ma orakrak uh, mweyen moul uh ma lusrongten nu seltal kewa.
For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
20 Elos kewa ac som nu ke yen sefanna — nu infohk uh. Eltal na kewa orekla ke fohk, ac eltal na kewa fah sifil ekla nu kac.
All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
21 Su ku in etu na pwaye lah ngunin mwet uh ac sowak nu lucng, ac ngunin ma orakrak uh ac som nu ten nu infohk uh?
Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
22 Ouinge nga akilen lah ma se wo emeet kut in oru uh pa in engankin ma kut orala. Wangin pac ma saya. Kut tia ku in etu lah mea ac fah sikyak tukun kut misa.
Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
