Ecclesiastes 5
1 Karinganang fahsr lom nu in Tempul uh. Wo kom in som nu we in eis mwe lutlut, liki in orek kisa oana mwet lalfon su tia etu inmasrlon ma pwaye ac ma sutuu.
Keep your feet when you go to a house of God, and draw near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for they do not know they do evil.
2 Nunkala in wo meet liki kom kaskas, ac nimet oru kutena wulela ingunyar nu sin God. El muta inkusrao ac kom muta fin faclu, ouinge nik kom fahk kas pus liki ma fal kom in fahk.
Do not cause your mouth to hurry, and do not let your heart hurry to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and you on the earth, therefore let your words be few.
3 Kom fin nunak yokla kom ac mweme koluk, ac kom fin kaskas pusla, kom ac ku in fahk kas lalfon.
For the dream has come by abundance of business, and the voice of a fool by abundance of words.
4 Ke kom oru sie wulela nu sin God, aksaye in akfalye. El tia insewowo sin mwet lalfon uh. Oru ma kom wulela kac.
When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to complete it, for there is no pleasure in fools; that which you vow—complete.
5 Wo kom in tiana orek wulela, liki na kom in orek wulela ac tia akfalye.
Better that you do not vow, than that you vow and do not complete.
6 Nimet lela kas lom uh in eiskomyang nu ke ma koluk, na kom fah tia enenu in som fahk nu sin mwet tol lun God lah kom tafongla. Efu kom ku oru God Elan kasrkusrak sum, ac kunausla ma kom orekma ac kemkatu kac?
Do not permit your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger that it [is] ignorance. Why is God angry because of your voice and has destroyed the work of your hands?
7 Finne pukanten mweme lom, ac finne pukanten orekma lusrongten lom, ac finne pusla kaskas lom, kom ac enenu na in sunakin God ac akfulatyal.
For in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; but fear God.
8 Nimet lut ke kom liye ke mwet kol lun sie mutunfacl elos akkeokye mwet sukasrup ac sruokya nununku suwohs lukelos. Kais sie mwet kol liyeyukyang sin sie su fulat lukel, ac eltal kewa karinginyuk selos su fulat lukelos.
If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness you see in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones [are] over them.
9 Fahko lun acn uh ma nu sin mwet nukewa. Sripa lun sie tokosra pa elan karingin nien ima uh.
And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.
10 Kom fin lungse mani, kom ac tia ku in muti; kom fin kena kasrup, ma kom ac eis ac fah tiana fal nu ke lungse lom. Ma inge wangin pac sripa.
Whoever is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is] vanity.
11 Mwe kasrup lom fin yokelik, na ac puseni pac mwet kom kite. Pwayena ma wo kom ac eis kac uh pa kom ac etu lah kom kasrup.
In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?
12 Sie mwet orekma, finne fal ku sufal ma el kang, el ku in motulla wo. Tusruktu sie mwet kasrup, ke sripen puslana ma lal, el ac sensen ac koflana motulla.
Sweet [is] the sleep of the laborer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not permitting him to sleep.
13 Pa inge sie lumah na koluk nga liye fin faclu: mwet uh ac karingin mani lalos nu ke sie pacl elos ac enenu,
There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.
14 ac tok tuhlac nufon ke sie orekma koluk oakwuk kac, na saflaiya wangin ma lula in tutafla nu sin tulik natulos.
And that wealth has been lost in an evil business, and he has begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!
15 Ke kut isusla nu faclu, wangin ma kut us, ac ke kut ac som liki faclu wangin pac ma kut ac us. Kut finne orekma upa, wangin ma kut ku in us wi kut.
As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turns back to go as he came, and he does not take away anything of his labor, that goes in his hand.
16 Tiana fal in ouinge! Kut ac som oana ke kut tuku. Kut orekma kemkatu, oana kut in srike sruokya eng uh, a mea kut eis kac?
And this also [is] a painful evil, just as he came, so he goes, and what advantage [is] to him who labors for wind?
17 Kut moulkin moul in lohsr, asor, fosrnga, kasrkusrak, ac mas.
He also consumes all his days in darkness, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.
18 Pa inge ma nga konauk uh: ma se wo emeet sie mwet in oru pa elan mongo ac nim ac engankin ma el orekma kac ke moul fototo lal ma God El sang nu sel. Pa inge oakwuk lun God nu sin mwet uh.
Behold, that which I have seen: [It is] good, because beautiful, to eat, and to drink, and to see good in all one’s labor that he labors at under the sun, the number of the days of his life that God has given to him, for it [is] his portion.
19 God El fin sang mwe kasrup ac acn nu sin sie mwet tuh elan engankin, fal elan sang kulo kac ac engankin orekma lal. Ma inge mwe kite sin God me.
Every man also to whom God has given wealth and riches, and has given him power to eat of it, and to accept his portion, and to rejoice in his labor, this is a gift of God.
20 Ke God El oru mwet sac elan engankin ma inge uh, el ac tia arulana nunku ke fototo moul lal uh.
For he does not much remember the days of his life, for God is answering through the joy of his heart.
