Da:i Dione Dawa:i Olelesu 12

1 Amaiba: le, dilia da goi gogawane, dili Hahamosu Dunu dawa: ma. Fa: no da: i dioi eso da dilima doaga: mu. Amo ganodini dilia da, “Na esalusu ganodini, na da hahawane hame gala,” amane sia: mu.

And remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 Amo esoha eso amola oubi amola gasumuni ilia hadigi amo di da gasi hahamoi agoane ba: mu, amola eso huluane gibu mobi da dialumu.

before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, be darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

3 Amasea, dia lobo (amo da di gaga: i dialu) da yagugumu amola dia emo waha gasa galebe, da goayamu. Dia bese oda da duduga: iba: le, dia ha: i manu agimu gogolemu amola dia si da uliligiba: le, noga: le ba: mu gogolemu.

in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened,

4 Dia ge da ga: i dagoiba: le, logoba: le ga: da hame nabimu. Di da gagoma goudasu ea ga: amola baidama dubi amo fonobahadi fawane nabimu. Be sio ea gesami hea: su amoga fawane da dia golabe didilisimu.

and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

5 Di da gadodafa sogebi amoga masa: ne beda: mu, amola dia ahoabe da se nabasa: besa: le, beda: mu. Dia dialuma hinabo da gago aligimu. Di da gasa fili masunu gogolemu amola dia hanai dawa: su da asi dagoi ba: mu. Ninia da esalebe dagomusa: helefisu amoga ahoa, amola ninia bogosea, dunu da logoga heawini dinanebe ba: mu.

they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets; )

6 Silifa sia: ine da damui dagoi ba: mu. Gouliga hamoi gamali da hanega: ne sa: ili, goudamu. Hano nasu ulidou ea hano disu efe da damuni gala: mu amola hano disu ofodo da goudamu.

— before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern;

7 Ninia da: i da osobo guluga buhagimu. Amola ninia mifo amo Gode da ninma i, amo da Hima buhagimu.

and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.

8 Sia: Dabe Alofele Iasu Dunu da amane sia: i, “Hamedei! Hamedei! Huluanedafa da hamedei!”

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher: all is vanity.

9 Be Sia: Dabe Alofele Iasu Dunu da dawa: bagade lai dagoiba: le, e da gebewane dunu oda ilima ea dawa: hou olelelalu. E da malasu dedei ilia bai hogolalu, ilia hou ba: le dawa: musa: adoba: i.

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs.

10 E da eno dunu dogo denesima: ne sia: hogoi helei. Be e da sia: moloidafa fawane dedei.

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written is upright, words of truth.

11 Bagade dawa: su dunu ilia fada: i sia: da galiamo debei amoga sibi ouligisu dunu da ilia sibi sesu, agoaiwane gala. Amola malasu gilisi da mae mugululi, gafesi noga: le dabagala: i defele agoane ba: mu. Gode da ninia Sibi Ouligisudafa afadafa fawane esala. Amola E da amo malasu ninima i dagoi.

The words of the wise are as goads, and the collections [of them] as nails fastened in: they are given from one shepherd.

12 Nagofe! Liligi eno amo di noga: le dawa: digima: ne diala. Buga dedesu dagomu dibi da hamedafa. Amola di da baligili dawa: bagade lamusa: hamosea, hele bagade nabimu.

And besides, my son, be warned by them: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Wali, sia: huluane da sia: i dagoi. Be sia: dagomusa: , sia: afadafa fawane gala, amane. “Godeba: le beda: ma! Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamoma! Bai amo hou hamoma: ne, Gode da dunu fi hahamoi dagoi.

Let us hear the end of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole of man.

14 Gode da ninia hamoi, noga: i o wadela: i, amo huluane amoma fofada: mu. Siga ba: i hou amola wamo hamoi hou, amo huluanema, E da fofada: mu.” Sia: ama dagoi

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
