Ecclesiastes 6
1 Nga liye pac lah fin facl se inge oasr sie ma koluk na yohk sikyak, ac mwet puspis wi pulakin.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;
2 God El ac sang mwe kasrup, sunak, ac acn nu sin sie mwet, aok el fas ke ma lungse lal nukewa. Na tok God El tia lela nu sel in engan kac. Siena mwet pa ac insewowokin, ac tia el. Tiana suwohs in ouinge. Arulana wangin sripa.
A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.
3 Mwet se fin oasr foko tulik natul ac loes moul lal, tusruktu tu el finne moul paht a el tia insewowo in moul lal, ku fin tia pukpuki el in wo, na nga ku in fahk mu wo nu sin tulik fusr se ma misa na osweyukla, liki mwet sac.
If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.
4 Wangin sripa in osweyukla tulik sac — el wanginla nu in lohsr, yen mulkinyukla el we.
In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.
5 El tiana liye kalem lun len uh, ku etu kutena ma ke luman moul uh, tusruktu el konauk mongla —
Yes, it saw not the sun, and it had no knowledge; it is better with this than with the other.
6 yohk liki na mwet se ma tiana insewowokin moul lal uh el finne moul yac luo tausin. Kalem lah eltal kewa ac som nu yen sefanna.
And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?
7 Sie mwet el oru orekma lal nukewa ma na in konauk mwe mongo nal, tusruktu wangin pacl el muti kac.
All the work of man is for his mouth, and still he has a desire for food.
8 Mea ac wo nu sin mwet lalmwetmet se liki mwet lalfon se? Oayapa wangin ma ac wo nu sin sie mwet sukasrup el finne moulkin moul wo inmasrlon mwet uh.
What have the wise more than the foolish? and what has the poor man by walking wisely before the living?
9 Ma inge ma lusrongten — oana ukweyen eng uh. Wo kom in falkin ma oasr yurum, liki kom in mwel kutu pacna ma saya pacl nukewa.
What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
10 Ma nukewa ma sikyak uh nuna oakwuki oemeet me, ac kut nukewa etu lah sie mwet el tia ku in akukuin nu sin sie su ku lukel.
That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.
11 Kom finne kaskas pusla ke akukuin, ac nuna wangin sripa wo ac tuku kac, ac kom tia pac eis wo kac.
There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?
12 Su ku in etu lah mea ac wo emeet nu sin sie mwet ke lusen moul fototo ac lusrongten se inge — sie moul su ac wanginla oana lul in pukunyeng? Su ku in etu ma ac sikyak fin faclu tukun kut misa?
Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?
