Mpitoriteny 3
1 Songa namantañañe ty sa’e, Sindre namotoañañ’ andro ze nisatrie’e ambanen-dikerañe atoa:
To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
2 androm-pisamahañe, androm-pihomahañe, androm-pamboleañe naho androm-pañombotañe i namboleñey;
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 androm-pamonoañe, naho androm-pañamelañañe; androm-pandrebahañe mañambane naho androm-pandranjiañe mañambone;
A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
4 androm-pirovetañe, naho androm-piankahafañe; androm-pangololoihañe naho androm-pitsinjahañe;
A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
5 androm-pañiririñam-bato, naho androm-panontonam-bato; androm-pamejañañe naho androm-pifoneñañe tsy hamejañe;
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 androm-pikodebeañe, naho androm-pahamotsoañe; androm-pañajañe naho androm-pañariañe;
A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
7 androm-pandrovitañe, naho androm-panjairañe; androm-pianjiñañe, naho androm-pisaontsiañe;
A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
8 androm-pikokoañe naho androm-pihejeañe; androm-pialiañe vaho androm-panintsiñañe.
A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
9 Ino ty tambem-pieke amy nitromaha’ey?
What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
10 Fa nitreako ty tolon-draha’ natolon’ Añahare amo ana’ ondatio, hitoloñañe.
I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
11 Kila nanoe’e mañeva ty sa’e; vaho napo’e an-tro’e ao ty atao nainai’e donia, fe tsy ho taka’ ondaty ty fitsikarahañe ty satan’ Añahare boak’ am-baloha’e pak’am-pigadoña’e.
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 Apotako te tsy eo ty mahasoa ta t’ie hifale naho hinembanembañe naho mbe amañ’aiñe;
I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
13 mbore falalàn’ Añahare te songa hikama naho hinoñe vaho hifale amo fitoloña’eo ondatio.
And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
14 Fantako te tsy modo nainai’e ze anoen’ Añahare; tsy mete tompeañe vaho tsy mete angalañe; nanoen’Añahare zao, hañeveña’ ondatio añatrefa’e eo.
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 Ze eo, le fa teo; naho mbe ho avy ze fa teo; vaho tsoehen’Añahare o horidañeñeo.
What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
16 Mbore nizoeko ambane’ i àndroy, amy toem-pizakañey te eo ka ty haratiañe, vaho amy toen-kavantañañey ty haloloañe.
And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
17 Hoe iraho an-troko ao, ho zakaen’ Añahare ty vañoñe naho ty raty, fa kila namotoaña’e ze safiry naho ze hene fitoloñañe.
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 Hoe iraho an-troko ao ty amo ana’ondatio: Mitsoke iareo t’i Andrianañahare hahaoniña’ iareo te biby avao.
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 Hambañe ty toli’ondaty naho ty toli’ o bibio; Manahake ty fihomaha’ ty raike ty hiantantirira’ ty ila’e. Hambañe avao ty fikofò’ iareo, aa le tsy aman-tombo’e amo bibio t’indaty; toe fonga hakoahañe.
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 Fonga homb’an-toetse raike: sindre boak’an-debok’ ao vaho songa mibalike mb’an-debok’ ao.
All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
21 Ia ty mahafohiñe ke hañambone ty arofo’ ondaty he hañambane mb’an-tane ao ty tro’ o bibio?
Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
22 Aa le nitreako te tsy eo ty mahasoa ta te hene mifale amo fitoloña’eo ondatio, ie tambe’ iareo; fa ia ty hampandrendrek’ aze te inoñe ty hanonjohy añe?
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?
