Manugwali 1
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Wala sing Pulos ang Tanan
1 Amo ini ang mga ginsiling sang isa ka manugwali[a] nga anak ni David kag hari sang Jerusalem:
2 Wala sing pulos! Wala gid sing pulos ang tanan! 3 Ano bala ang makuha sang tawo sa iya pagpangabudlay diri sa kalibutan? 4 Nagataliwan ang isa ka henerasyon kag nagabulos naman ang isa, pero ang kalibutan amo lang gihapon. 5 Nagabutlak ang adlaw, kag dayon nagasalop; nagabalik-balik lang ini sa iya ginahalinan. 6 Nagahuyop ang hangin sa bagatnan kag dayon sa aminhan; nagalibot-libot lang ini kag nagabalik-balik. 7 Ang tanan nga suba nagailig sa dagat, pero wala ini nagakapuno bisan sige-sige ang ilig sang suba.[b] 8 Ina tanan nga butang makatalaka—ang pagkatalaka nga indi masaysay. Wala nagakaayawan ang aton mga mata kag mga dulunggan sa aton makita kag mabatian. 9 Ang mga natabo sang una matabo man liwat. Ang mga ginhimo sang una himuon man liwat. Wala gid sing bag-o nga nagakatabo sa kalibutan. 10 May butang bala nga masiling mo nga bag-o naman? Pero ara na ina sang una pa, bisan sang wala pa kita matawo. 11 Wala ginadumdom sang mga tawo ang mga nagligad; amo man ang palaabuton, indi man ini pagdumdumon sang mga tawo sa ulihi.
Ang Kaalam sang Tawo Wala sing Pulos
12 Ako nga isa ka manugwali naghari sa Israel, kag sa Jerusalem ako nag-estar. 13 Sa akon kaalam, gintun-an ko gid sing maayo ang tanan nga nagakalatabo diri sa kalibutan. Isa ini ka makatalaka nga buluhaton nga ginhatag sang Dios nga kabalak-an sang tawo. 14 Nakita ko ang tanan nga ginahimo diri sa kalibutan, kag ini tanan wala sing pulos; daw pareho lang nga nagalagas ako sa hangin. 15 Ang tiko indi mo mapatadlong, kag ang wala indi mo maisip.
16 Nagsiling ako sa akon kaugalingon, “Mas maalam gid ako sang sa tanan nga naghari sa Jerusalem antes sa akon. Madamo gid ako sang nahibaluan.” 17 Gintun-an ko sing maayo ang kinalain sang kaalam kag kabuangan, pero nareyalisar ko nga ini wala man sing pulos; daw pareho lang nga nagalagas ako sa hangin. 18 Kay sang nagdugang ang akon nahibaluan, nagdugang man ang kalain sang akon buot.
Ecclesiastes 1
King James Version
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 1
New King James Version
The Vanity of Life
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, (A)king in Jerusalem.
3 (D)What profit has a man from all his labor
In which he [b]toils under the sun?
4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
(E)But the earth abides forever.
5 (F)The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And [c]hastens to the place where it arose.
6 (G)The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
7 (H)All the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again.
8 All things are [d]full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
(I)The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 (J)That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
11 There is (K)no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.
The Grief of Wisdom
12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 And I set my heart to seek and (L)search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; (M)this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be [e]exercised. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
15 (N)What is crooked cannot be made straight,
And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained (O)more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has [f]understood great wisdom and knowledge.” 17 (P)And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.
18 For (Q)in much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
