1All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
1Ma nukewa ma sikyak fin faclu sikyak fal nu ke pacl la.
2A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
2Oasr pacl in isusla, ac pacl in misa, Oasr pacl in yukwiya, ac pacl in fusak.
3A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
3Oasr pacl in uniya, ac pacl in akkeye, Oasr pacl in kunausla, ac pacl in musaeak.
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
4Oasr pacl in tung, ac pacl in israsr, Oasr pacl in mwemelil, ac pacl in onsrosro.
5A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
5Oasr pacl in sisalik eot uh, ac pacl in eisani eot uh, Oasr pacl in kafis, ac pacl in tia kafis.

8Oasr pacl nu ke lungse, ac pacl nu ke srunga, Oasr pacl nu ke mweun, ac pacl nu ke misla.
9What hath man more of his labour?
9Mea sie mwet el eis ke orekma nukewa lal?
10I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
10Nga etu ke mwe utuk toasr ma God El filiya facsr.
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.
11El oaki pacl fal nu ke ma nukewa. El oaki nu sesr tuh kut in kena etu ke pacl fahsru, tusruktu El tia ase nu sesr in etu nufon ma El oru.
12And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
12Ke ma inge nga akilen lah ma kut ku in oru pa in engan ac oru wo ke kuiyasr nufon ke lusen moul lasr uh.
13For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
13Kut nukewa enenu in mongo ac nim ac engankin ma kut orekma nu kac. Ma inge mwe kite lun God.
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.
14Nga etu lah ma nukewa God El oru uh ac oan ma pahtpat. Kut koflana laesla kutena ma nu kac ku eisla kutena ma liki. Ac God El oru ouinge tuh mwet uh in sunakunul ac akfulatyal.
15That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
15Kutena ma su sikyak tari, sikyak pac in pacl inge. Kutena ma su ac fah sikyak in pacl fahsru, nuna sikyak tari meet. God El oru tuh ma inge in sikyak na sikyak.
16I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
16Sayen ma inge, nga liye pac mu fin facl se inge, yen ma nununku suwohs ac pwaye eneneyuk in oasr we, ma koluk ac sesuwos pa oasr we.
17And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
17Nga fahk nu sik sifacna, “God El fah nununku mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk oana sie, mweyen ma nukewa ac kain in mukuikui nukewa fah sikyak in pacl fal la.”
18I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
18Nga nunku tuh God El srike kut in akkalemye nu sesr lah kut tia sie na liki ma orakrak uh.
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.
19Ma kalem uh pa saflaiyen mwet uh, ac ma orakrak uh, oana sie. Elos kewa ma orekla ac oasr momong la, ac kewana ac misa. Mwet uh tia fulat liki ma orakrak uh, mweyen moul uh ma lusrongten nu seltal kewa.
20And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
20Elos kewa ac som nu ke yen sefanna — nu infohk uh. Eltal na kewa orekla ke fohk, ac eltal na kewa fah sifil ekla nu kac.
21Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
21Su ku in etu na pwaye lah ngunin mwet uh ac sowak nu lucng, ac ngunin ma orakrak uh ac som nu ten nu infohk uh?
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?
22Ouinge nga akilen lah ma se wo emeet kut in oru uh pa in engankin ma kut orala. Wangin pac ma saya. Kut tia ku in etu lah mea ac fah sikyak tukun kut misa.
