Ecclesiastes 9
1 I tretide alle these thingis in myn herte, to vndirstonde diligentli. Iust men, and wise men ben, and her werkis ben in the hond of God; and netheles a man noot, whether he is worthi of loue or of hatrede.
Boye, nakanisaki mingi na makambo oyo nyonso mpe namonaki ete, ezala moto ya sembo, moto ya bwanya elongo na makambo nyonso oyo basalaka, bazali na maboko ya Nzambe; kasi moko te ayebaka soki bolingo to koyina ezelaka ye.
2 But alle thingis ben kept vncerteyn in to tyme to comynge; for alle thingis bifallen euenli to a iust man and to a wickid man, to a good man and to an yuel man, to a cleene man and to an vnclene man, to a man offrynge offryngis and sacrifices, and to a man dispisynge sacrifices; as a good man, so and a synnere; as a forsworun man, so and he that greetli swerith treuthe.
Bato nyonso basukaka kaka ndenge moko: ezala moto ya sembo to moto mabe, ezala moto malamu to moto oyo asalaka masumu, ezala moto ya peto to moto ya mbindo, ezala moto oyo abonzaka mbeka to moto oyo abonzaka mbeka te. Ndenge ezalaka mpo na moto ya motema malamu ndenge mpe ezalaka mpo na moto ya masumu; ndenge ezalaka mpo na moto oyo alapaka ndayi ndenge mpe ezalaka mpo na moto oyo abangaka kolapa ndayi.
3 This thing is the worste among alle thingis, that ben don vndur the sunne, that the same thingis bifallen to alle men; wherfor and the hertis of the sones of men ben fillid with malice and dispisyng in her lijf; and aftir these thingis thei schulen be led doun to hellis.
Tala likambo oyo ezali mabe kati na makambo nyonso oyo esalemaka na se ya moyi: bato nyonso basukaka kaka ndenge moko; lisusu, mitema ya bato etonda na mabe, mpe bozoba ezalaka kati na mitema na bango wana bazali nanu na bomoi; mpe, sima na yango, bakokufa kaka.
4 No man is, that lyueth euere, and that hath trist of this thing; betere is a quik dogge than a deed lioun.
Moto nyonso oyo azali kati na bato ya bomoi azalaka na elikya; mbwa ya bomoi ezali malamu koleka nkosi oyo ekufa.
5 For thei that lyuen witen that thei schulen die; but deed men knowen no thing more, nether han meede ferthere; for her mynde is youun to foryetyng.
Pamba te bato ya bomoi bayebaka ete bakokufa; kasi bato oyo bakufa bayebaka lisusu eloko moko te, bazalaka lisusu te na litomba ya kozwa, mpo ete babosana bango.
6 Also the loue, and hatrede, and enuye perischiden togidere; and thei han no part in this world, and in the werk that is don vndur the sunne.
Bolingo na bango, koyina na bango mpe baposa na bango esila kolimwa; bakozwa lisusu litomba ata moko te kati na makambo nyonso oyo esalemaka na se ya moyi.
7 Therfor go thou, iust man, and ete thi breed in gladnesse, and drynke thi wiyn with ioie; for thi werkis plesen God.
Kende, lia bilei na yo na esengo mpe mela masanga na yo ya vino na motema ya esengo; pamba te Nzambe asili kondima misala na yo.
8 In ech tyme thi clothis be white, and oile faile not fro thin heed.
Tika ete bilamba na yo ezala tango nyonso peto, mpe nzoto na yo elumba tango nyonso solo ya malasi.
9 Vse thou lijf with the wijf which thou louest, in alle the daies of lijf of thin vnstablenesse, that ben youun to thee vndur sunne, in al the tyme of thi vanyte; for this is thi part in thi lijf and trauel, bi which thou trauelist vndur the sunne.
Sepela na bomoi na yo elongo na mwasi na yo, oyo olingaka na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya pamba oyo Nzambe apesi yo na se ya moyi; solo, na mikolo na yo nyonso ya pamba, pamba te yango nde ezali mbano ya bomoi na yo mpo na misala nyonso oyo omonelaka pasi na se ya moyi.
10 Worche thou bisili, what euer thing thin hond mai do; for nether werk, nether resoun, nethir kunnyng, nether wisdom schulen be at hellis, whidir thou haastist. (Sheol h7585)
Mosala nyonso oyo loboko na yo ekokoka kosala, sala yango na makasi na yo nyonso; pamba te kati na mboka ya bakufi epai wapi okokende, ezala mosala, mabongisi, boyebi to bwanya ezalaka kuna te. (Sheol h7585)
11 I turnede me to another thing, and Y siy vndur sunne, that rennyng is not of swift men, nethir batel is of stronge men, nether breed is of wise men, nether richessis ben of techeris, ne grace is of crafti men; but tyme and hap is in alle thingis.
Namonaki lisusu likambo moko na se ya moyi: mimekano ezalaka kaka te mpo na moto oyo aleki mbangu, bitumba ezalaka kaka te mpo na bato ya makasi, bilei ezalaka kaka te mpo na bato ya bwanya, bomengo ezalaka kaka te mpo na bato oyo baleki na mayele, mpe bolamu ezalaka kaka te mpo na bato ya bososoli; pamba te pasi mpe bisengo ekomelaka mpe bango nyonso.
12 A man knowith not his ende; but as fischis ben takun with an hook, and as briddis ben takun with a snare, so men ben takun in yuel tyme, whanne it cometh sudeynli on hem.
Moto moko te ayebi tango nini ngonga na ye ekokoka: ndenge mbisi ekangamaka na monyama to ndenge banyama ekangamaka na motambo, ndenge wana mpe bato bakangamaka na mitambo ya pasi oyo ekweyelaka bango na mbalakata.
13 Also Y siy this wisdom vndur the sunne, and Y preuede it the mooste.
Namonaki lisusu na se ya moyi, ndakisa moko ya bwanya oyo ezalaki na tina mingi mpo na ngai:
14 A litil citee, and a fewe men ther ynne; a greet kyng cam ayens it, and cumpasside it with palis, and he bildide strengthis bi cumpas; and bisegyng was maad perfit.
ezalaki na engumba moko ya moke oyo ezalaki mpe na bato moke; bongo mokonzi moko ya nguya ayaki kobundisa yango, azingelaki yango mpe atongaki milako mpo na kokonza engumba yango.
15 And a pore man and a wijs was foundun ther ynne; and he delyuerede the citee bi his wisdom, and no man bithouyte aftirward on that pore man.
Nzokande, kati na engumba yango, ezalaki na mobola moko oyo azalaki moto ya bwanya; abikisaki yango na bwanya na ye, kasi moto moko te akanisaki mobola yango.
16 And Y seide, that wisdom is betere than strengthe; hou therfor is the wisdom of a pore man dispisid, and hise wordis ben not herd?
Boye namilobelaki: « Bwanya ezali malamu koleka makasi ya nzoto. » Kasi bwanya ya mobola etiolamaka, mpe bayokaka maloba na ye te.
17 The wordis of wise men ben herd in silence, more than the cry of a prince among foolis.
Bayokaka maloba ya kimia ya moto ya bwanya koleka makelele ya mokonzi ya bazoba.
18 Betere is wisdom than armuris of batel; and he that synneth in o thing, schal leese many goodis.
Bwanya ezali malamu koleka bibundeli ya basoda, kasi mbeba moko ekoki koboma bolamu na yango nyonso.
