Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember nowe thy Creator in the daies of thy youth, whiles the euill daies come not, nor the yeeres approche, wherein thou shalt say, I haue no pleasure in them:
Laglagipem met ti Namarsua kenka kadagiti aldaw ti kinaagtutubom, sakbay a dumteng dagiti aldaw ti rigrigat, ken sakbay a dumteng dagiti tawen inton ibagam, “Awanen ti pakaragsakak kadakuada,”
2 Whiles the sunne is not darke, nor ye light, nor the moone, nor the starres, nor the cloudes returne after the raine:
sakbay a sumipnget ti lawag ti init, ti bulan ken dagiti bituen, ken agsubli dagiti nangingisit nga ulep kalpasan ti tudo.
3 When the keepers of ye house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow them selues, and the grinders shall cease, because they are few, and they waxe darke that looke out by ye windowes:
Daytanto ti tiempo inton agtigerger dagiti guardia ti palasio, ken malugpi dagiti napipigsa a lallaki ken agsardeng dagiti babbai nga aggilgiling gapu ta bassitda, ken saanen a makakita a silalawag dagiti tumantan-aw kadagiti tawa.
4 And the doores shall be shut without by the base sound of the grinding, and he shall rise vp at the voice of the birde: and all the daughters of singing shall be abased.
Daytanto ti tiempo inton maiserra dagiti ruangan kadagiti dalan, ken agsardeng ti uni ti panaggilgiling, inton makigtot dagiti lallaki iti uni ti billit, ken agpukaw ti timek ti panagkankanta dagiti ubbing a babbai.
5 Also they shalbe afraide of the hie thing, and feare shalbe in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grassehopper shall be a burden, and concupiscence shall be driuen away: for man goeth to the house of his age, and the mourners goe about in the streete.
Daytanto ti tiempo inton agbuteng dagiti lallaki kadagiti nangangato a lugar ken kadagiti peggad iti dalan ken inton agsabong ti kayo ti almendro, ken inton guyoden dagiti dudon dagiti bagbagida, ken inton awanen ti kadawyan a tarigagay. Kalpasanna, mapanen ti tao iti agnanayon a pagtaenganna ket sumalog iti kalsada dagiti agladladingit.
6 Whiles the siluer coarde is not lengthened, nor the golden ewer broken, nor the pitcher broken at the well, nor the wheele broken at the cisterne:
Lagipem ti Namarsua kenka sakbay a mapugsat ti pirak a tali, wenno marumek ti balitok a mallukong, wenno maburak ti kapitera idiay ubbog wenno madadael ti kalo a maus-usar a pangala iti danum idiay bubon,
7 And dust returne to the earth as it was, and the spirit returne to God that gaue it.
sakbay nga agsubli ti tapuk iti daga a naggapuanna, ken agsubli ti espiritu iti Dios a nangted iti daytoy.
8 Vanitie of vanities, saieth the Preacher, all is vanitie.
“Maysa nga angep ti alingasaw” kuna ti Manursuro, “amin a banag ket kasla agpukpukaw nga alingasaw.”
9 And the more wise the Preacher was, the more he taught the people knowledge, and caused them to heare, and searched foorth, and prepared many parables.
Nasirib ti Manursuro, ken sinurwanna ti pannakaammo dagiti tattao. Inadal ken pinanunot ken inurnosna dagiti adu a proberbio.
10 The Preacher sought to finde out pleasant wordes, and an vpright writing, euen the wordes of trueth.
Sinukimat ti Manursuro nga isurat babaen kadagiti nalawag, nalinteg a sasao ti kinapudno.
11 The wordes of the wise are like goads, and like nailes fastened by the masters of the assemblies, which are giuen by one pastour.
Kasla sarukod a natirad dagiti sasao ti nasirib a tao. Kasla kadagiti lansa a naipalok a nauneg dagiti sasao dagiti nalalaing kadagiti naurnong a proverbioda, nga insuro ti maysa a pastor.
12 And of other things beside these, my sone, take thou heede: for there is none ende in making many bookes, and much reading is a wearines of the flesh.
Annakko ammoem pay ti maysa a banag; ti panagar-aramid kadagiti libro, nga awan pagpatinggaanna. Makabannog iti bagi ti adu a panagad-adal.
13 Let vs heare the end of all: feare God and keepe his commandements: for this is the whole duetie of man.
Ti pagleppasanna, kalpasan a mangngegan amin a banbanag, ket masapul nga agbutengka iti Dios ken salimetmetam dagiti bilinna, ta daytoy ti sibubukel a pagrebbengan ti sangkataoan.
14 For God will bring euery worke vnto iudgement, with euery secret thing, whether it be good or euill.
Ta iyegto ti Dios ti amin nga aramid iti pannakaukom, a kadua dagiti tunggal nakalemmeng a banag, nasayaat man daytoy wenno dakes.
