Eclesiastes 3

1 Ta adda naituding a tiempo para iti amin a banag, ken panawen para iti tunggal panggep iti baba ti langit.

All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.

2 Adda tiempo iti pannakaiyanak ken adda tiempo iti pannakatay, adda tiempo iti panagmula ken tiempo iti panangparut kadagiti mula,

A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

3 adda tiempo iti panangpapatay ken adda tiempo iti pannakapaimbag, adda tiempo iti panangdadael ken adda tiempo iti panangbangon,

A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.

4 adda tiempo iti panagsangit ken adda tiempo iti panagkatawa, adda tiempo iti panagladingit ken adda tiempo iti panagsasala,

A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5 adda tiempo iti panangipurwak kadagiti batbato, ken adda tiempo iti panagurnong kadagiti batbato, adda tiempo iti panangarakup kadagiti dadduma a tattao ken adda tiempo iti panagliklik manipud iti pannakaarakup,

A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6 adda tiempo ti panagbiruk kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagsardeng ti panagbirbiruk, adda tiempo ti panagidulin kadagiti banbanag ken adda tiempo ti panagibelleng kadagiti banbanag,

A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7 adda tiempo ti panagpigis kadagiti kawkawes ken adda tiempo ti panagisimpa kadagiti kawkawes, adda tiempo ti panagulimek ken adda tiempo ti panagsao,

A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

8 adda tiempo ti panagayat ken adda tiempo ti panaggura, adda tiempo para iti gubat ken adda tiempo para iti kappia.

A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.

9 Ania ti magunggona ti trabahador kadagiti pagbanbanoganna?

What hath man more of his labour?

10 Nakitakon ti trabaho nga inted ti Dios kadagiti tattao a leppasenda.

I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 Inaramid ti Dios dagiti amin a banbanag a maitutop iti umno a tiempo. Inkabilna pay ti kinaagnanayon kadagiti puspusoda. Ngem saan a maawatan ti sangkatoan dagiti inaramid ti Dios, manipud kadagiti rugrugida agingga kadagiti panagleppasda.

He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.

12 Ammok nga awan ti nasaysayaat para iti siasinoman ngem ti agrag-o ken agaramid iti nasayaat kas agbibiag isuna—

And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.

13 ken mangan ken uminom koma ti tunggal maysa ken maawatanda koma no kasano a ragsakenda dagiti nasasayaat nga aggapu kadagiti amin a trabahoda. Sagut daytoy manipud iti Dios.

For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.

14 Ammok nga agtalinaed nga agnanayon ti aniaman nga aramiden ti Dios. Awan ti mainayon wenno maikkat iti daytoy, gapu ta ti Dios ti nangaramid iti daytoy tapno umasideg dagiti tattao kenkuana nga addaan iti dayaw.

I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.

15 Aniaman nga adda ket addan idi, aniaman nga umaddanto ket addan. Inaramid ti Dios nga agbirok dagiti tattao kadagiti nakalemmeng a banbanag.

That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.

16 Ket nakitak nga iti baba ti init, adda ti kinadangkes iti ayan koma ti hustisia, ken iti lugar ti kinalinteg ket masansan a masarakan ti kinadangkes.

I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.

17 Kinunak iti pusok, “Ukomento ti Dios ti nalinteg ken nadangkes iti umno a tiempo para iti tunggal pasamak ken tunggal aramid.”

And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.

18 Kinunak iti pusok, “Subsuboken ti Dios dagiti tattao tapno ipakitana kadakuada a kasla da la dagiti ayup.”

I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.

19 Ta agpada a gasat ti mapaspasamak kadagiti tattao a mapaspasamak kadagiti ayup. Kas kadagiti ayup, matay amin a tattao. Masapul nga umangesda amin ti agpada nga angin, tapno iti kasta a wagas awan ti pangatiwan dagiti tattao kadagiti ayup. Saan kadi a kasla laeng napardas nga anges dagiti amin a banag?

Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.

20 Maymaysa a lugar ti pappapanan dagiti amin a banag. Naggapu amin iti tapok, ket agsubli amin iti tapok.

And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.

21 Siasino ti makaammo no ti espiritu ti sangkataoan ket agpangato ken dagiti espiritu dagiti ayup ket agpababa iti uneg ti daga?

Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?

22 Isu a naamirisko manen nga awan ti nasaysayaat para ti siasinoman ngem ti agragsak iti trabahona, ta dayta ti naituding nga aramidenna. Siasino ti makaisubli kenkuana tapno makitana no ania ti mapasamak kalpasan ti biagna?

And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
