1Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
1Mâra li cßaßru âcue. Chatsihînk ban. Ut saß jun cutan tâcßul rêkaj.
2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
2Tâjecß li cßaßru cuan âcue reheb li mâcßaß cuan reheb, xban nak incßaß nacanau jokße tâchâlk raylal saß âbên lâat nak cuancat saß ruchichßochß.
3If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
3Lâo incßaß nakanau cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Cui nachal li chok rochben li hab saß ruchichßochß, naru nachal. Cui li cheß tâtßanekß saß li norte, naru natßaneß aran. Ut cui natßaneß saß li sur, tßanekß aran. Li naßajej li tâtßanekß cuiß, aran tâcanâk.
4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
4Li ani yôk xcßaßux chirix li ikß incßaß tââuk. Ut li ani yôk xcßaßux chirix li chok incßaß tâkßolok.
5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
5Lâat incßaß nacanau bar naxic li ikß. Ut incßaß ajcuiß nacanau chanru nak naqßui li cßulaßal li toj mâjiß nayoßla. Joßcan ajcuiß nak incßaß nacanau cßaßru naxbânu li Dios li quiyîban re chixjunil li cßaßak re ru.
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
6Nak tat-âuk, tâcuau lâ cuiyaj ekßela ut tâcuau cuißchic ecuu xban nak incßaß nacanau bar cuan li tâêlk chi us, ma li tâcuau xbên cua, malaj ut li tâcuau mokon, malaj ut juntakßêt tâêlk.
7Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
7Relic chi yâl nak kßaxal us nak yoßyôko saß ruchichßochß ut yôko chirilbal li cutan.
8But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
8Abanan, usta nabal chihab tocuânk saß ruchichßochß ut yôko xyalbal xsahil li cßaßru ke, tento nak takaqßue retal nak tâcuulak xkßehil nak tocâmk chi junaj cua ut incßaß chic tocuânk saß ruchichßochß. Chixjunil li tâchâlk chiku mokon, mâcßaß na-oc cuiß.
9Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
9Lâex, li toj sâjex, cheyalak xsahil lê sâjilal. Chebânuhak li cßaßru têra ru ut li cßaßru nacuulac chêru. Abanan, tento nak têqßue retal nak saß jun cutan târakok âtin li Dios saß êbên.Checanabak xcßoxlanquil li cßaßak re ru nachßißchßißin êre joß ajcuiß li chßaßajquilal. Chenauhak nak incßaß najt texcuânk saß lê sâjilal. Joßcan nak mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li cßaßru têbânu.
10Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
10Checanabak xcßoxlanquil li cßaßak re ru nachßißchßißin êre joß ajcuiß li chßaßajquilal. Chenauhak nak incßaß najt texcuânk saß lê sâjilal. Joßcan nak mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li cßaßru têbânu.
