Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:
Nga liye pac lah fin facl se inge oasr sie ma koluk na yohk sikyak, ac mwet puspis wi pulakin.
2 a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
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.
3 If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he;
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.
4 for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
Wangin sripa in osweyukla tulik sac — el wanginla nu in lohsr, yen mulkinyukla el we.
5 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
El tiana liye kalem lun len uh, ku etu kutena ma ke luman moul uh, tusruktu el konauk mongla —
6 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, do not all go to one place?
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.
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Sie mwet el oru orekma lal nukewa ma na in konauk mwe mongo nal, tusruktu wangin pacl el muti kac.
8 For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?
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.
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
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.
10 Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.
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.
11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?
Kom finne kaskas pusla ke akukuin, ac nuna wangin sripa wo ac tuku kac, ac kom tia pac eis wo kac.
12 For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
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?
