‏ Ecclesiastes 1

Gik moko duto konon to onge tiendgi

1Magi e weche mane jayalo ma wuod Daudi, mane ruodh Jerusalem owacho. 2Jayalo wacho niya,
“Ngima en gima nono!
Chutho en gima nono!
Gik moko duto onge tiendgi!”

3En ohala mane ma dhano yudo kuom tije duto motiyo
kendo mochandore godo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ?
4Tiengʼ ka tiengʼ biro kendo kadho,
to piny to osiko mana kaka en.
5Chiengʼ wuok kendo chiengʼ podho,
kendo oridore piyo piyo kodok kuma owuokie.
6Yamo futo kochiko yo milambo
kendo okudho kochiko yo nyandwat;
odhi kolworore,
ndalo duto koduogo kare mapile.
7Aore duto mol kadhi ei nam,
to kata kamano nam ok pongʼ.
To kuma aorego oaye,
kanyo ema gidwogoe.
8Gik moko duto gin tingʼ mapek,
moingo ngʼato wacho.
Kata obedo ni wangʼ neno,
to gik moneno ok rome,
to it bende kata obedo ni owinjo gik moko,
to gik mowinjo ok rome.
9Gima osebedo biro bedo kendo,
gima osetim ibiro tim kendo;
kendo onge gino manyien e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ.
10Bende nitiere gima ngʼato nyalo wacho ni
ma en gima nyien?
Ooyo ok gima nyien, nimar nyalo bedo ni gino nosetimore chon
kane pok onywolwa.
11Joma chon ok par ngangʼ
mana kaka tiengʼni bende,
ok nopar
gi joma biro luwo bangʼ-gi.

12An, jayalo, asebedo ruodh Israel kadak Jerusalem. 13Ne achiwora mondo atiegra kendo anon matut kod rieko gigo duto mitimo e bwo polo. Mano doko tingʼ mapek ma Nyasaye oyieyo kuom ji! 14Aseneno gik moko mitimo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ, giduto gionge tiendgi, kendo gichalo mana yamo. 15Gima odol ok nyal rie;
kendo gima onge ok kwan.

16Ne aparo e chunya niya, “Koro, asedongo kendo amedora e rieko moloyo ngʼato angʼata moserito Jerusalem motelona; kendo asebedo gi lony e rieko kod ngʼeyo.” 17Eka ne achiwora ne winjo tiend rieko, ngʼeyo pogruok manie kind rieko, memruok kod fuwo, to ne afwenyo ni magi gin mana lawo bangʼ yamo mafuto. 18Nimar ne afwenyo ni rieko mangʼeny kelo kuyo;
kendo ngʼeyo mangʼeny medo mana chuny lit.
