1ΕΣΤΙ πονηρία, ἣν εἶδον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, καὶ πολλή ἐστιν ἐπὶ τὸ ἄνθρωπον·
1ʻOku ai ʻae kovi kuo u mamata ki ai ʻi he lalo laʻā, pea ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he tangata.
2ἀνήρ, ᾧ δώσει αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς πλοῦτον καὶ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δόξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστερῶν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐπιθυμήσει, καὶ οὐκ ἐξουσιάσει αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ φαγεῖν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἀνὴρ ξένος φάγεται αὐτόν· τοῦτο ματαιότης καὶ ἀρρωστία πονηρά ἐστι.
2Ko e tangata ʻaia ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae paʻanga lahi, mo e koloa lahi, mo e ongoongolelei, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne masiva ai ʻi ha meʻa ki hono laumālie ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne holi ki ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai foaki ʻae mālohi kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke ne kamata ia, ka ʻoku kai ia ʻe he kakai kehe; ko e vaʻinga eni, pea ko e mahaki kovi moʻoni.
3ἐὰν γεννήσῃ ἀνὴρ ἑκατὸν καὶ ἔτη πολλὰ ζήσεται, καὶ πλῆθος ὅ,τι ἔσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ οὐ πλησθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγαθωσύνης, καί γε ταφὴ οὐκ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ, εἶπα· ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν τὸ ἔκτρωμα,
3¶ Kapau ʻe tupu ʻi ha tangata ʻae fānau ʻe toko teau, pea moʻui ia ki he ngaahi taʻu lahi, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono taʻu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakapito hono laumālie ʻi he lelei, pea ka mate ia ʻoku ʻikai fai hano putu; ʻoku ou pehē ʻeau, ʻoku lelei hake ʻiate ia ha fanauʻi taʻehoko.
4ὅτι ἐν ματαιότητι ἦλθε καὶ ἐν σκότει πορεύεται, καὶ ἐν σκότει ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καλυφθήσεται.
4He koeʻuhi ʻoku hoko mai ia mo e vaʻinga, pea ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻa hono hingoa.
5καί γε ἥλιον οὐκ εἶδε καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω, ἀνάπαυσις τούτῳ ὑπὲρ τοῦτον.
5Kaeʻumaʻā eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he laʻā, pe ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha: ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻene fiemālie ʻaʻana ʻi he tokotaha ko ia.
6καὶ εἰ ἔζησε χιλίων ἐτῶν καθόδους καὶ ἀγαθωσύνην οὐκ εἶδε, μὴ οὐκ εἰς τόπον ἕνα πορεύεται τὰ πάντα;
6¶ ʻIo, neongo ʻene moʻui ʻi ha taʻu ʻe ua afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he lelei: ʻikai ʻoku ʻalu kotoa pē ki he potu pe taha?
7Πᾶς μόχθος ἀνθρώπου εἰς στόμα αὐτοῦ, καί γε ἡ ψυχὴ οὐ πληρωθήσεται.
7ʻOku fai ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻae tangata, koeʻuhi ko hono ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai fiu ai ʻene holi.
8ὅτι τίς περισσεία τῷ σοφῷ ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄφρονα; διότι ὁ πένης οἶδε πορευθῆναι κατέναντι τῆς ζωῆς.
8He ko e hā ʻoku maʻu lahi hake ʻe he poto ʻiate ia ʻoku vale? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe he masiva, ʻaia ʻoku ʻilo ke ʻalu totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai moʻui?
9ἀγαθὸν ὅραμα ὀφθαλμῶν ὑπὲρ πορευόμενον ψυχῇ· καί γε τοῦτο ματαιότης καὶ προαίρεσις πνεύματος.
9¶ ʻOku lelei hake ʻae sio ʻae mata ʻi he holi fano ʻae laumālie: he ko e vaʻinga foki eni mo e fakamamahi ki he laumālie.
10Εἴ τι ἐγένετο, ἤδη κέκληται ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγνώσθη ὅ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται κριθῆναι μετὰ τοῦ ἰσχυροτέρου ὑπὲρ αὐτόν·
10Ko e meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai kuo ʻosi hono fakahingoa, pea kuo ʻilo ia ko e tangata: ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fekuki ia mo ia ʻoku mālohi lahi kiate ia.
11ὅτι εἰσὶ λόγοι πολλοὶ πληθύνοντες ματαιότητα. τί περισσὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ;
11¶ Pea ʻi he ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tupulekina ai ʻae vaʻinga, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki he tangata?
12ὅτι τίς οἶδεν ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ἀριθμὸν ζωῆς ἡμερῶν ματαιότητος αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὰ ἐν σκιᾷ· ὅτι τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, τί ἔσται ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον;
12He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei ki he tangata ʻi he moʻui ni, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui vaʻinga, ʻaia ʻoku mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata? He ko hai ʻoku faʻa tala ki he tangata ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko kimui ʻiate ia ʻi he lalo laʻā?
