‏ Ecclesiastes 10

1Mana kaka lwangʼni motho miyo gima dungʼ mangʼwe ngʼar bedo gi tik marach,
e kaka miriambo matin ketho rieko kod luor.
2Ngʼat mariek timo timbe mabeyo,
to ngʼat mofuwo timo timbe maricho.
3Fupe nenore anena
kata kowuotho e yo,
kendo ji duto manene ongʼeyo ni ofuwo.
4Ka ruoth okecho kodi,
to kik iwe tiji mitiyono;
nimar kibolori to ruoth nyalo ngʼwononi kuom kethogi mangʼeny.

5Nitie richo ma aseneno e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ,
ketho moro mawuok kuom jatelo:
6Joma ofuwo imiyo tije madongo dongo,
to jo-mwandu to iketo e mago matindo.
7Aseneno wasumbini e ngʼe farese,
to jotelo wuotho gi tiendgi ka wasumbini.

8Ngʼama kunyo bur matut nyalo lwar e iye;
to ngʼama muko kor ot thuol nyalo kayo.
9Ngʼama kunyo kite inyalo hiny gi kitego;
to ngʼama baro yien inyalo hiny gi yien.

10Ka le dik
kendo lewe ok opiagi,
to nyaka oti kode gi teko mathoth eka obar yien,
kuom mano chan gik moko chon kapod ok itimo.

11Ka thuol okecho kapok oboye,
to koro onge ohala mar ja-bocho.

12Weche moa e dho ngʼat man-gi rieko nigi ngʼwono,
to ngʼama ofuwo tiekore mana gi wechene owuon.
13Ngʼama ofuwo chako gi weche mag fuwo;
to gikone ni gin weche neko,
14kendo wechege ngʼeny maonge tiende.

Onge ngʼama ongʼeyo gima biro timorene kiny,
koro en ngʼa manyalo nyise gima biro timorene bangʼ thone?

15Ngʼama ofuwo nyagore gi tich matek ma ok konye;
nimar kata kuma oaye ok onyal paro.

16Okwongʼ piny ma ruodhe ne en jatich
kendo ma jotende mondo e nyasi gokinyi.
17Joma ruodhigo wuok e anywola mar jotelo gin johawi
kendo ruodhigigo chiemo e sa mowinjore,
mondo giyud teko to ok mondo gimer.

18Ka ngʼato nyap, to kor ode nyaka mukre marieny;
to ngʼato ma budho abudha ma ok ti gi lwete, to ode nyaka chwer.

19Chiemo mabeyo miyo ngʼato bedo mamor,
kendo divai bende miyo ngʼato winjo maber,
to pesa ema miyo ngʼato bedo gi gimoro amora modwaro.

20Kik icha ruoth kata mana e pachi,
kata kwongʼo ja-mwandu kor kachiena,
nikech winyo mafuyo e yamo nyalo kawo wecheni,
kendo winyo ma fuyono nyalo terone gima iwacho.
