< Ecclesiastes 11 >

1 Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.
Oasr soakas se fahk mu, “Pahtkakunla ma nom fin kof u, na tukun len pus kom ac fah sifil konauk.”
2 Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you do not know what evil will be on the earth.
Sang kutu ma oasr yurum nu sin mwet itkosr ku oalkosr, mweyen kom koflana etu lah ongoiya fuka ac sikyak nu sum fin faclu.
3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
Acn se na ma soko sak ac topla nu we, ac oanna in sac. Pacl se pukunyeng uh sroalsroalla, na ac afi.
4 He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
El su tuni yen eng uh tuku we me pa ac etu pacl tia fal in yok; ac el su tuni pukunyeng uh pa ac etu pacl tia fal in kosrani.
5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you do not know the work of God who does all.
God El orala ma nukewa, ac kom tia ku in kalem ke ma El oru, oana ke kom tia ku in kalem ke mutaweyen moul lun sie tulik insien sie mutan pitutu.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
Oru yok lom an ke lotutang ac oayapa ke eku. Kom tia ku in etu lah nufonna ac kapak wo, ku sie fwil uh ac kapak wo liki ma se ngia.
7 Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
Sie mwe insewowo ke kut liye kalem wolana lun len uh.
8 Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
Engankin yac nukewa ma kom moul uh. Finne loes moul lom, esam lah misa lom fah loes liki. Ma nukewa ma ac sikyak faclu meet liki kom misa, ma na lusrongten.
9 Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Mwet fusr, kowos in engankin moul in mwet fusr lowos an. Kowos in insewowo ke kowos srakna fusr. Oru ma kowos lungse oru an, ac suk ma kowos liye mu wo uh. Tusruktu esam lah God El ac nununkekowos ke kutena ma kowos oru.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
Finne oasr mwe akasorye kowos ku mwe akngalye kowos, nimet kowos fosrnga, mweyen pacl in fusr lowos ac mutaweyen moul lowos uh ma lusrongten.
