Ecclesiastes 7

1 A good name is better than precious ointments: and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

Knare avu'ava'ma hu zamofo zago'amo'a, marerirfa mnanentake masavena agatere'ne. Vahe'ma fri knamo'a, vahe'ma kasente kna agatere'ne.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come.

Tahunte'ma vu knamo'a tusi ne'zama kreno neneno musema hu nompima vu'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure maka vahera fri vaheke mani'nonanki, amnema mani'nona vahe'mota tagera okanisune.

3 Anger is better than laughter: because by the sadness of the countenance the mind of the offender is corrected.

Asunku'ma hu'zamo, kiza zokago'ma hu'zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure asunku'ma hu'zamo'a, tagu'a tazeri ani higeta, ruzahu ruzahu avu'ava'ma hu'zana antahita keta nehune.

4 The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'a vahe'ma fri'negeno'ma asunku'ma huno mania nontega agu'amo'a nemane. Hianagi neginagi antahi'zane vahe'mo'a musema nehaza nontega agu'amo'a nemane.

5 It is better to be rebuked by a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattery of fools.

Knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'ma hanave kema huno vahe'ma azeri fatgohu kema antahi'zamo, neginagi vahe'mo'ma zagame'ma nehia zama antahi'zana agatere'ne.

6 For as the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool: now this also is vanity.

Neginagi vahe'mofo kiza zokago kemo'a, ne'zama kre'nea kavomofo henka kazigama ave'ave trazanuma tevema hugre'negeno'ma trage raragema hiaza nehie. Ama ana zamo'a agafa'a omnetfa hu'ne.

7 Oppression troubleth the wise, and shall destroy the strength of his heart.

Vahe'ma knama amino azeri havizama hu'zamo'a, knare antahi'zane vahera azeri neginagi vahe nese. Anahu kna huno mago'zama huntenogu'ma, zagoma atesino masavema hu zamo'a, vahe'mofo agu'a azeri haviza nehie.

8 Better is the end of a speech than the beginning. Better is the patient man than the presumptuous.

Eri'zama eri afinare'ma ate zamo, eri'zama eri agafama hu zana agateregeno, arimpa fru huno mani'neno avegama ante'zamo avufga rama hu'zana agatere'ne.

9 Be not quickly angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of a fool.

Ame'amara hunka krimpa oho. Na'ankure ame'ama'ma huno arimpama ahe zana neginagi vahe'mofo avu'ava me'ne.

10 Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish.

Nahigeno korapa'ma mani'nama e'noa knamo'a, menima mani'noa kna agatere'ne hunka kagenoka osuo. Na'ankure e'i knare antahi'zantetira kagenoka osugahane.

11 Wisdom with riches is more profitable, and bringeth more advantage to them that see the sun.

Knare antahi'zanteti'ma erisanti'ma hare'zamo'a knare hu'neankino, nomani'zama maninka vanampina knare huno kaza hugahie.

12 For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them.

Zagomo'ma kazama nehiankna huno, knare antahi'zamo'a kazahugahie. Hianagi knare antahi'zamoke kagura vazigahie.

13 Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised.

Anumzamo'ma tro'ma hu'nea zantamina kenka antahinka huo. Hagi kazaki zantamima Agrama tro'ma hunte'nea zantamina, iza eri fatgo hugara hu'ne?

14 In the good day enjoy good things, and beware beforehand of the evil day: for God hath made both the one and the other, that man may not find against him any just complaint.

Maka zama hana zantmimo'ma knare'ma hania knafina, muse huo. Hianagi maka zamo'ma amuhoma hanigenka, kenka antahinkama hananana Anumzamoke knare knane, havi knanena negamie. E'ina hu'negu mago'mo'a okima fore'ma hania zana keno antahinora osu'ne.

15 These things also I saw in the days of my vanity: A just man perisheth in his justice, and a wicked man liveth a long time in his wickedness.

Agafa'a omane nomanizama mani'na e'nofina, ama tare'za ke'noe. Fatgo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za ame hu'za nefrizageno, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, zazate maniza nevu'za kefo avu'avara hu'za nevaze.

16 Be not over just: and be not more wise than is necessary, lest thou become stupid.

Hagi fatgo avu'ava zana agaterenka fatgo vahetfa manisue hunka nosunka, knare antahi'zane vahera agaterena, knare antahi'zane vahetfa manisue hunka osuo. Na'ankure e'inahu kavukva zamo'a, kazeri haviza hugahie.

17 Be not overmuch wicked: and be not foolish, lest thou die before thy time.

Kagra kefo avu'ava'ene vahera agaterenka kefo avu'ava zana nehunka, neginagi vahera oso. Nahanigenka kagra kasefa vahera mani'nenka ame'amara hunka frigahane?

18 It is good that thou shouldst hold up the just, yea and from him withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God, neglecteth nothing.

Anantarega koro kema antahino amage'ma ante'zamo knarera hu'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofoma koroma hunteno, amage'ma ante zana anantarega avu'avazampi ne-e.

19 Wisdom hath strengthened the wise more than ten princes of the city.

Mago knare antahi'zane ne'mofo hankavemo'a, 10ni'a ugagota kva vahetmima rankuma'ma kegavama hu'naza vahe'mokizmi hankavea agatere'ne.

20 For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not.

Magore huno ama mopafina fatgo huno'ma mani'neno kumi'ma osu vahera omani'ne.

21 But do not apply thy heart to all words that are spoken: lest perhaps thou hear thy servant reviling thee.

Ana maka nanekema vahe'mo'zama hanaza nanekea kagesa antenka ontahio, aru eri'za vahekamo huhaviza hugante'nia naneke antahigahane.

22 For thy conscience knoweth that thou also hast often spoken evil of others.

Na'ankure aru vahe'ma hu havizama hunentana zana, kagra kenka antahinka hu'nane.

23 I have tried all things in wisdom. I have said: I will be wise: and it departed farther from me,

Ama ana maka zana knare antahizanteti refko hu'na kete'na amanage nagra'agura hu'noe, knare antahi'zane vahe mani'nue hu'na huanagi, nagra knarera osu'noe.

24 Much more than it was: it is a great depth, who shall find it out?

Knare antahi'zamo'a afete me'neankino, hakeno'ma eri'amo'a tusi amuho hu'ne.

25 I have surveyed all things with my mind, to know, and consider, and seek out wisdom and reason: and to know the wickedness of the fool, and the error of the imprudent:

Maka kaziga knare antahi'zankura hake'na vano nehu'na, nagafare maka zana fore huno me'ne hu'na hakenaku antahintahia retro hu'noe. Nagafare vahe'mo'za kefo avu'avara nehu'za neginagi avu'avara nehaze hu'na ke'na antahi'na hunaku nagesa antahi'noe.

26 And I have found a woman more bitter than death, who is the hunter’s snare, and her heart is a net, and her hands are bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her: but he that is a sinner, shall be caught by her.

Mago zama ke'na eri fore'ma huana, mago'ma kefo zantfa huno fri'zama agatere'neana, a'nemofo krifumo'e. A'nemofo agu'amo'a krifugna hu'neankino, fru fru azamo'a vahe'ma kinama hunentea seni nofi kna hu'ne. Anumzamo'ma musema nehiazama nehia vahe'mo'a, ana akura koro fregahie. Hianagi kumi'ma nehia vahe'mofona, kati higeno aze'nerie.

27 Lo this have I found, said Ecclesiastes, weighing one thing after another, that I might find out the account,

Rempima humi ne'mo'a huno, maka zamofo agafa'ama hakena erifore'ma hunakura, mago mago zamofo agafa'a hakena ketere hu'noe.

28 Which yet my soul seeketh, and I have not found it. One man among a thousand I have found, a woman among them all I have not found.

Anama hake'nama nevu'na mago zana onke'noanagi, 1 tauseni'a vahepina, fatgo avu'ava'ene nera magoke ke'noe. Hianagi magore hu'na fatgo avu'ava'ene ara onketfa hu'noe.

29 Only this I have found, that God made man right, and he hath entangled himself with an infinity of questions. Who is as the wise man? and who hath known the resolution of the word?

Magoke zama ke'na erifore'ma huana amane, Anumzamo'a fatgo vahe tro hunte'neanagi, vahe'mo'a rama'a kankamu retro huno kefo avu'avara nehie.
