Mpitoriteny 4

1 Dia hitako koa ny fampahoriana rehetra atao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro; ary indro ny ranomason’ ny ampahorina, sady tsy nisy mpanony azy; ary loza no ataon’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory azy, sady tsy nisy mpanony.

and to return: again I and to see: see [obj] all [the] oppression which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun and behold tears [the] oppression and nothing to/for them to be sorry: comfort and from hand: themselves to oppress them strength and nothing to/for them to be sorry: comfort

2 Ary ny maty izay efa maty ela dia nataoko ho sambatra noho ny velona izay mbola velona,

and to praise I [obj] [the] to die which/that already to die from [the] alive which they(masc.) alive still [to]

3 nefa tsara indray noho izy roa tonta aza ny tsy ary, izay tsy nahita ny ratsy atao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro akory.

and pleasant from two their [obj] which still not to be which not to see: see [obj] [the] deed [the] bad: evil which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun

4 Ary hitako ny fisasarana rehetra sy ny fahaizan-javatra rehetra, fa avy amin’ ny fifampialonan’ ny olona izany. Zava-poana sy misambo-drivotra foana koa izany.

and to see: see I [obj] all trouble and [obj] all skill [the] deed: work for he/she/it jealousy man: anyone from neighbor his also this vanity and longing spirit: breath

5 Ny adala manohon-tanana ka homana ny tenany.

[the] fool to embrace [obj] hand his and to eat [obj] flesh his

6 Tsara ny eran-tànan’ ila misy fiadanana noho ny eran-tànan-droa misy fisasarana sady misambo-drivotra foana.

pleasant fullness palm quietness from fullness palm trouble and longing spirit: breath

7 Ary izao koa no zava-poana hitako atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro:

and to return: again I and to see: see vanity underneath: under [the] sun

8 Misy mitoetra irery ka tsy mana-namana, eny, tsy manan-janaka na rahalahy aza, nefa tsy misy farany ny fisasarany rehetra, ary ny masony tsy afa-po amin’ ny harena, hanaovany hoe: Ho an’ iza no isasarako sy tsy ampananako soa ny fanahiko? Zava-poana sy asa mahareraka koa izany.

there one and nothing second also son: child and brother: male-sibling nothing to/for him and nothing end to/for all trouble his also (eye his *Q(K)*) not to satisfy riches and to/for who? I laborious and to lack [obj] soul: myself my from welfare also this vanity and task bad: harmful he/she/it

9 Tsara ny roa noho ny iray; fa misy valiny tsara ny fisasarany.

pleasant [the] two from [the] one which there to/for them wages pleasant in/on/with trouble their

10 Raha misy lavo izy, dia arenin’ ny namany; fa mahantra ny lavo izay tsy manana namana hanarina azy.

that if: except if: except to fall: fall [the] one to arise: raise [obj] companion his and to/for woe! him [the] one which/that to fall: fall and nothing second to/for to arise: raise him

11 Ary koa, raha miara-mandry ny roa, dia mafana izy; fa hatao ahoana no hampahafana ny irery?

also if to lie down: lay down two and to warm to/for them and to/for one how? to warm

12 Raha misy maharesy ny irery aza, ny roa tsy ho leony tsy akory; ary ny mahazaka telo olana tsy mora tapahina.

and if to prevail him [the] one [the] two to stand: stand before him and [the] thread [the] to do three not in/on/with haste to tear

13 Aleo zatovo malahelo hendry toy izay mpanjaka antitra adala ka tsy laitra anarina intsony;

pleasant youth poor and wise from king old and fool which not to know to/for to warn still

14 fa avy ao an-tranomaizina no nivoahany hanjaka, na dia nateraka tamin’ alahelo tamin’ ny fanjakany aza izy.

for from house: home [the] to bind to come out: come to/for to reign for also in/on/with royalty his to beget be poor

15 Hitako ny miaina rehetra izay miriaria atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro manotrona ilay zazalahy dia ilay faharoa izay mitsangana handimby ny teo.

to see: see [obj] all [the] alive [the] to go: walk underneath: under [the] sun with [the] youth [the] second which to stand: stand underneath: instead him

16 Tsy hita isa ny olona rehetra, dia izay rehetra anjakany; nefa izay any aoriana tsy mba hifaly aminy; fa zava-poana sy misambo-drivotra foana koa izany.

nothing end to/for all [the] people to/for all which to be to/for face: before their also [the] last not to rejoice in/on/with him for also this vanity and striving spirit: breath
