Ecclesiastes 12
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
1Ke ma inge, esam El su orekomla ke kom srakna fusr, meet liki len koluk uh tuku ac meet liki yac uh apkuranme ke kom fah fahk, “Nga tia engankin moul luk.”
2While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
2Pa ingan pacl se ma kalem lun faht, malem, ac itu uh fah mutawauk in ohkla, meet liki pukunyeng in af ac lohsreya faclu.
3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
3In pacl sac, poum su tuh loangekom meet ac fah rarrar, ac niom su ku inge fah munasla. Wihsum su pueni ac fah tia ku in kontonauk mongo nom uh wo, ac atronmotom ac fah ohkla tia ku in liye.
4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
4Srem ac fah tia lohng wowon fin inkanek uh. Ac fah upa kom in lohng pusren mwe ilil wheat ke ac ilil uh, ku pursren mwe on ke ac sritalkinyuk, a on lun sie won sohksok ku in okaskomyak liki motul.
5Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
5Kom ac fah langinging ke acn fulat, ac sensen in forfor. Aunsifom ac fah fiayai, na ac fah arulana upa kom in sifacna fahsr. Ac fah wanginla ma kom mwel. Kut ac som nu yen mongla na safla lasr, na ac fah oasr tung mwemelil inkanek uh.
6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
6Sein silver ac fah wotla, ac lam gold fah putatla ac fokelik; sucl ke lufin kof ac fah wotelik, ac sufa in kof ac fah fokfoki.
7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
7Manosr ac fah folokla nu in fohk uh oana meet, ac momong lun moul fah folokyak nu yurin God, su ase nu sesr.
8¶ Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
8Mwet Luti Lalmwetmet el fahk, “Lusrongten na lusrongten! Ma nukewa lusrongten!”
9And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
9Tusruktu ke sripen yohk lalmwetmet lun Mwet Luti sac, el tia tui in luti mwet uh ke ma el etu. El lutlutkin soakas, ac srike in konauk na pwaye kalmac uh.
10The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
10Mwet Luti Lalmwetmet sac el srike in sokak kas in akwoye, tusruktu kas ma el simusla arulana pwaye.
11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
11Kas lun mwet lalmwetmet uh oana soko sak kosroh ma mwet liaung sheep uh orekmakin in sang kifus sheep uh, ac soakas ma orekeni nu sie ac oanna nwe tok oana osra ma patputi ku. Soakas inge ituku sin El su Mwet Shepherd sefanna lasr.
12And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
12Wen nutik, oasr pac sie ma kom in arulana taran. Sim book uh sie orekma wangin safla kac, ac fin yokla lutlut lom kac, ac eisla kuiyom.
13¶ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
13Tukun ma inge nukewa, ma sefanna fal in fwack: Sunakin ac akfulatye God, ac akos ma nukewa El sapkin, mweyen pa inge sripa ma mwet uh orekla nu kac.
14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
14God El ac nununku ma nukewa kut oru uh, finne wo ku koluk, ac finne ma orekla in lukma.
