Mpitoriteny 1
1 Ty taro’ i Mpañokey, ana’ i Davide, mpanjaka e Ierosalaime ao.
The wordis of Ecclesiastes, sone of Dauid, the kyng of Jerusalem.
2 Hakafoahan-kafoake, hoe i Mpañokey, Hakafoahan-kafoake! Fonga kafoake!
The vanyte of vanytees, seide Ecclesiastes; the vanyte of vanytees, and alle thingis ben vanite.
3 Ino ty tombo’e ho a ondatio amo fifanehafa’e ambane’ i àndroy?
What hath a man more of alle his trauel, bi which he traueilith vndur the sunne?
4 Mihelañe ty tariratse raike, mbore limbezen-tariratse, fe nainai’e eo ty tane toy.
Generacioun passith awei, and generacioun cometh; but the erthe stondith with outen ende.
5 Manjirike ka i àndroy, mitsofotse i àndroy, mihiririñe mb’am-panjiriha’e añe.
The sunne risith, and goith doun, and turneth ayen to his place;
6 Mitioke mañatimo, le mibalike mañavaratse; mikariokariok’ avao i tiokey, vaho mimpoly amo fiaria’eo.
and there it risith ayen, and cumpassith bi the south, and turneth ayen to the north. The spirit cumpassynge alle thingis goith `in cumpas, and turneth ayen in to hise cerclis.
7 Songa mivariñe mb’an-driake mb’eo o sakao fe tsy atseke i riakey; mb’amy fikararaha’ o torahañeoy, le mb’eo avao ty fikararaha’ iareo.
Alle floodis entren in to the see, and the see fletith not ouer the markis set of God; the floodis turnen ayen to the place fro whennus tho comen forth, that tho flowe eft.
8 Hene mahamamake, tsy lefe’ ondaty volañeñe, tsy mahaetsa-pihaino t’ie vazoho, mbore tsy mahaenen-dravembia te ijanjiñañe.
Alle thingis ben hard; a man may not declare tho thingis bi word; the iye is not fillid bi siyt, nether the eere is fillid bi hering.
9 Mbe ho avy indraike i fa añey, naho mbe hanoeñe avao ze fa nanoeñe, vaho tsy ambane’ i àndroy ty atao vao.
What is that thing that was, that that schal come? What is that thing that is maad, that that schal be maad?
10 Eo hao ty mete hanoeñe ty hoe, Heheke! vao itoy? Ie fa teo avao, haehae taolon-tikañe añe.
No thing vndir the sunne is newe, nether ony man may seie, Lo! this thing is newe; for now it yede bifore in worldis, that weren bifore vs.
11 Tsy tiahy o raha taoloo, naho o raha hifetsakeo, vaho tsy hahatiahy irezay o hanonjohio.
Mynde of the formere thingis is not, but sotheli nether thenkyng of tho thingis, that schulen come afterward, schal be at hem that schulen come in the last tyme.
12 Izaho, i mpañokey, le fa mpanjaka Israele e Ierosalaime ao,
I Ecclesiastes was king of Israel in Jerusalem;
13 le nimanean-troko ty hañotsohotso naho hikodebe an-kihitse ze hene fitoloñañe ambanen-dikerañe atoa; toe tolon-draha mahamokotse ty natolon’ Añahare am’ondatio hifanehafa’e.
and Y purposide in my soule to seke and enserche wiseli of alle thingis, that ben maad vndur the sunne. God yaf this werste ocupacioun to the sones of men, that thei schulden be ocupied therynne.
14 Nitreako iaby ze fitoloñañe ambane’ i àndroy; le hehe t’ie fonga kafoake vaho fañeañan-tioke.
I siy alle thingis that ben maad vndur the sunne, and lo! alle thingis ben vanyte and turment of spirit.
15 Tsy mete ahity ty mengoke, vaho tsy lefe iaheñe ty tsy eo.
Weiward men ben amendid of hard; and the noumbre of foolis is greet with outen ende.
16 Hoe iraho am-batako: Ingo fa natontoko mandikoatse ze hene mpifehe’ Ierosalaime taolo ahy ty fahaoniñañe ra’elahy; vaho nandifotse ty troko ty hihitse naho hilala.
I spak in myn herte, and Y seide, Lo! Y am made greet, and Y passide in wisdom alle men, that weren bifore me in Jerusalem; and my soule siy many thingis wiseli, and Y lernede.
17 Le nampitoloñeko ty troko hahaoniña’e hihitse naho hahafohiñe ty hadagolà naho ty hagegeañe. Nirendreko t’ie fañeañan-tioke ka.
And Y yaf myn herte, that Y schulde knowe prudence and doctryn, and errours and foli. And Y knew that in these thingis also was trauel and turment of spirit;
18 Amy te minday hasosoram-bey ty hihitse maro, vaho mampitombo haoreañe ty fitomboan-kilala.
for in myche wisdom is myche indignacioun, and he that encressith kunnyng, encreessith also trauel.
