9 Mfasoɔ bɛn na odwumayɛfoɔ nya firi nʼadwumaden mu?

What hath a man more of his trauel?

10 Mahunu adesoa a Onyankopɔn de ato nnipa so.

I siy the turment, which God yaf to the sones of men, that thei be occupied therynne.

11 Wayɛ biribiara fɛfɛ wɔ ne berɛ mu. Ɔde nkwa a ɛnsa da ahyɛ nnipa akoma mu, nanso wɔntumi nte deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no ase.

God made alle thingis good in her tyme, and yaf the world to disputyng of hem, that a man fynde not the werk which God hath wrouyt fro the bigynnyng `til in to the ende.

12 Menim sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a ɛyɛ ma nnipa kyɛn sɛ wɔbɛgye wɔn ani na wayɛ deɛ ɛyɛ ɛberɛ a wɔte ase.

And Y knew that no thing was betere `to a man, `no but to be glad, and to do good werkis in his lijf.

13 Sɛ obiara bɛdidi na wanom na wanya anigyeɛ wɔ ne dwumadie nyinaa mu, yei ne Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ.

For whi ech man that etith and drinkith, and seeth good of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.

14 Menim sɛ biribiara a Onyankopɔn yɛ no bɛtena hɔ daa, wɔrentumi mfa biribi nka ho na wɔrentumi nyi biribi mfiri mu. Onyankopɔn yɛ yei sɛdeɛ nnipa de anidie bɛma no.

I haue lerned that alle werkis, whiche God made, lasten stidfastli `til in to with outen ende; we moun not adde ony thing to tho, nether take awei fro tho thingis, whiche God made, that he be dred.

15 Biribiara a ɛwɔ hɔ ɛnnɛ no, aba pɛn, na deɛ ɛbɛba no nso aba dada; na Onyankopɔn bɛfrɛ deɛ asi dada no ama akontabuo.

That thing that is maad, dwellith perfitli; tho thingis that schulen come, weren bifore; and God restorith that, that is goon.

16 Na mehunuu biribi foforɔ wɔ owia yi ase sɛ: Amumuyɛsɛm wɔ deɛ atemmuo wɔ, atɛnteneneebea no, amumuyɛsɛm wɔ hɔ.

I siy vndur sunne vnfeithfulnesse in the place of doom; and wickidnesse in the place of riytfulnesse.

17 Medwenee wɔ mʼakomam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn bɛbu teneneefoɔ ne amumuyɛfoɔ nyinaa atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ adwuma biara bɛnya ne berɛ, adeyɛ biara ne ne berɛ.”

And Y seide in myn herte, The Lord schal deme a iust man, and an vnfeithful man; and the tyme of ech thing schal be thanne.

18 Afei medwenee sɛ, “Nnipa deɛ, Onyankopɔn sɔ wɔn hwɛ ma wɔhunu sɛ wɔte sɛ mmoa.

I seide in myn herte of the sones of men, that God schulde preue hem, and schewe that thei ben lijk vnresonable beestis.

19 Onipa hyɛberɛ te sɛ mmoa deɛ, na ɛda hɔ ma wɔn nyinaa. Sɛdeɛ ɔbaako wuo no, saa ara na ɔfoforɔ nso wuo. Wɔn nyinaa wɔ ahomeɛ baako; onipa nni biribi a ɔde kyɛn aboa. Biribiara yɛ ahuhudeɛ.

Therfor oon is the perisching of man and of beestis, and euene condicioun is of euer eithir; as a man dieth, `so and tho beestis dien; alle beestis brethen in lijk maner, and a man hath no thing more than a beeste.

20 Wɔn nyinaa kɔ faako; wɔn nyinaa firi dɔteɛ mu na wɔsane kɔ dɔteɛ mu.

Alle thingis ben suget to vanyte, and alle thingis goen to o place; tho ben maad of erthe, and tho turnen ayen togidere in to erthe.

21 Hwan na ɔnim sɛ onipa honhom foro soro, na aboa deɛ siane kɔ asase mu anaa?”

Who knowith, if the spirit of the sones of Adam stieth vpward, and if the spirit of beestis goith dounward?

22 Enti mehunuu sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a ɛyɛ ma onipa kyɛn sɛ nʼani bɛka nʼadwuma ho, ɛfiri sɛ ɛno ne ne kyɛfa. Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi de no asane aba sɛ ɔmmɛhwɛ deɛ ɛbɛsi ne wuo nʼakyi?

And Y perseyuede that no thing is betere, than that a man be glad in his werk, and that this be his part; for who schal brynge hym, that he knowe thingis that schulen come after hym?
