1All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
1A IA he manawa no na mea a pau, a he wa hoi no na hana a pau, malalo iho o ka lani.
2A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
2He wa e hanau ai, A he wa hoi e make ai; He wa e kanu ai, A he wa hoi e uhuki ai i ka mea i kanuia;
3A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
3He wa e pepehi ai, A he wa hoi e hoola ai; He wa e wawahi ai, A he wa hoi e kukulu iho ai;
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
4He wa e uwe ai, A he wa hoi e akaaka ai; He wa e kanikau ai, A he wa hoi e haa ai;
5A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
5He wa e hoolei aku ai i na pohaku, A he wa hoi e hoiliili ai i na pohaku; He wa e apo ai, A he wa e apo ole ai.
6A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
6He wa e imi ai, A he wa hoi e lilo aku ai; He wa e malama'i, A he wa hoi e hoolei wale aku ai.
7A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
7He wa e haehae aku ai, A he wa hoi e humuhumu iho ai; He wa e hamau ai, A he wa hoi e olelo ai.
8A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
8He wa e aloha aku ai, A he wa hoi e inaina aku ai; He wa kaua, A he wa maluhia.
9What hath man more of his labour?
9Heaha ka uku a ka mea hana i ka mea ana i hana'i?
10I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
10Ua ike au i ka hana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai i na keiki a kanaka e hana'i.
11He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.
11Ua hana mai la oia i na mea a pau he maikai i kona manawa; a hookomo no hoi oia i ko ke ao nei iloko o ko lakou mau naau, i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hana a ke Akua i hana'i, mai ka mua a hiki i ka hope.
12And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
12Ua ike au, aohe mea maikai iloko o ia mau mea, ke ole e hauoli [ke kanaka,] a e hana maikai i kona ola ana.
13For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
13A o kela kanaka keia kanaka e ai, a e inu hoi, a e ike i ka maikai o kana hana a pau, oia ka haawina a ke Akua.
14I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
14Ua ike au, o na mea a pau a ke Akua i hana'i, e mau loa no ia, aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoonui, aole e hiki i kekahi he hooemi; a na ke Akua no i hana mai i makau lakou imua ona.
15That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
15O ka mea mamua, oia ka mea e noho nei, a o ka mea e hiki mai ana, oia na mea mamua aku; a imi mai ke Akua i ke ano o na mea i hala aku nei.
16I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
16A ike aku la au malalo iho o ka la i kahi e ahaolelo ai, a malaila no ka hewa; a i kahi o ka pono, a malaila hoi ka hana ino.
17And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
17I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau, e hookolokolo ana ke Akua i ka poe pono, a me ka poe hewa; no ka mea, oia ka wa no na mea a pau a me na hana a pau.
18I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
18I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau no na keiki a kanaka, i hoao ke Akua ia lakou i ike lakou ia lakou iho, he poe holoholona.
19Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
19No ka mea, o ka mea e hiki mai i na keiki a kanaka, e hiki mai no ia i na holoholona, hookahi mea ia lakou; e like me ka make ana o kela, pela no ka make ana o keia, hookahi hanu ia lakou a pau; aohe mea o ke kanaka i oi aku mamua o ka holoholona; no ka mea, ua pau na mea i ka lapuwale.
20And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
20Ua hele lakou a pau i kahi hookahi; no ka lepo mai lakou a pau, a e hoi hou aku ana lakou i ka lepo.
21Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
21Owai ka mea ike i ke ea o na keiki a kanaka, ka mea i pii iluna, a me ke ea o na holoholona ka mea i iho ilalo i ka honua?
22And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
22No ia mea, ike iho la au, aohe mea maikai e ae i ke kanaka, o ka hauoli wale no i kana hana ana; no ka mea, oia kona haawina. A owai ka mea e hoike ia ia i ka mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona?
