Ecclesiastes

3

1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
1Cuan li hônal nak nacßulman chixjunil li cßaßak re ru saß li ruchichßochß aßin.
2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
2Cuan li hônal re li yoßlâc ut cuan li hônal re li câmc. Cuan xkßehil li âuc, ut cuan ajcuiß xcutanquil lix michßbal li âubil.
3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
3Cuan li hônal re camsînc ut cuan li hônal re banoc. Cuan xcutanquil li sachoc, ut cuan ajcuiß xcutanquil xcuaclesinquil cuißchic li ac tßanenak.
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
4Cuan li hônal re yâbac, ut cuan li hônal re seßec. Cuan li hônal re rahil chßôlej, ut cuan xcutanquil li ninkßeîc.
5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
5Cuan xcutanquil li pajînc pec, ut cuan xcutanquil re xchßutubanquil li pec. Cuan li hônal nak naru tixkßalu rib li junjûnk, ut cuan ajcuiß li hônal nak incßaß naru naxkßalu rib li junjûnk.
6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
6Cuan xcutanquil li sicßoc, ut cuan li hônal re sachoc. Cuan li hônal re xococ, ut cuan li hônal re tzßekoc.
7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
7Cuan li hônal re pejoc tßicr, ut cuan li hônal re xitînc. Cuan li hônal re âtinac, ut cuan li hônal nak incßaß naru âtinac.
8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
8Cuan li hônal re rahoc, ut cuan li hônal re tzßektânânc. Cuan xcutanquil li pletic riqßuin junak tenamit, ut cuan xcutanquil li cuânc saß usilal riqßuin junak tenamit.
9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
9¿Ma cuan ta biß cßaßru naxra li cuînk nak naxcamsi rib chi cßanjelac?
10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
10Lâin xinqßue retal nak kßaxal cau li cßanjel li quixqßue li Dios saß xbêneb li cuînk re teßxbânu.
11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
11Li Dios naxyîb chixjunil chi châbil saß xkßehil joß naraj aßan. Xqßue saß li kachßôl xrâbal ru xnaubal li cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Abanan incßaß nakatau ru chixjunil li cßaßru quixbânu chak li Dios saß xticlajic toj chalen saß rosoßjic.
12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
12Lâin ninnau nak li cßaßru us tixbânu li cuînk, aßan nak tâsahokß saß xchßôl ut tixbânu li us nak toj cuânk saß ruchichßochß.
13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
13Ut ninnau ajcuiß nak yal kamâtan xban li Dios nak nococuaßac ut noco-ucßac ut nakayal xsahil li cßaßru nakacßanjela.
14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
14Ut ninqßue ajcuiß retal nak chixjunil li naxbânu li Dios tâcuânk chi junelic. Chixjunil li cßaßru quixbânu incßaß naru xqßuebal xtzßakob chi moco naru xjepbal. Li Dios quixbânu chi joßcaßin re nak chixjunileb teßxxucua ru.
15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
15Mâcßaß tâcßulmânk chi incßaß ta ac xcßulman junxil. Mâcßaß cßaßru cuan chi incßaß ta ac cuan ajcuiß chak junxil. Li Dios nabânun re, nak nacßulman chi joßcaßin.
16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
16Lâin ninqßue retal nak saß ruchichßochß junes raylal ut mâusilal nequeßxbânu saß eb li naßajej li nequeßrakoc cuiß âtin. Aran raj nequeßrakoc âtin saß tîquilal.
17I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
17Joßcan nak quinye saß inchßôl: —Li ani tîc xchßôl târakekß âtin saß xbên xban li Dios, ut târakekß ajcuiß âtin saß xbên li naxbânu mâusilal xban nak ac xakabanbil li hônal aßan xban li Dios nak târakekß âtin saß kabên riqßuin li cßaßru nakabânu ut riqßuin li cßaßru nakacßul.—
18I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
18Quinye ajcuiß saß inchßôl: —Li Dios yô chixbânunquil reheb chi joßcan yal re xyalbal rixeb ut re ajcuiß xcßutbal chiruheb nak chanchaneb li xul.—
19For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
19Relic chi yâl nak eb li cuînk ut eb li xul juntakßêt nequeßxcßul. Li xul nacam. Joßcaneb ajcuiß eb li cristian nequeßcam. Junaj ajcuiß li ikß naxmusikßa li xul riqßuineb li cristian. Moco kßaxal ta us li cuînk chiru li xul xban nak chixjunil li cuan saß ruchichßochß mâcßaß na-oc cuiß.
20All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
20Nak nequeßcam li xul nequeßsukßi chßochß. Joßcan ajcuiß li cristian. Nak nequeßcam nequeßsukßi chßochß. Chßochß oquenakeb ut nak teßcâmk, nequeßsukßi cuißchic chßochß.
21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
21¿Ma cuan ta biß junak nanaßoc re chi tzßakal nak lix musikßeb li cristian nequeßxic saß choxa ut lix musikß li xul nequeßosoß rubel chßochß?Riqßuin aßin ninqßue retal nak li us tixbânu li cuînk, aßan nak tâsahokß saß xchßôl riqßuin lix cßanjel xban nak aßan li tento tixbânu. Ut mâ ani târûk tâcßamok chak re chi rilbal li cßaßru tâcßulmânk mokon xban nak ac camenak chic.
22Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
22Riqßuin aßin ninqßue retal nak li us tixbânu li cuînk, aßan nak tâsahokß saß xchßôl riqßuin lix cßanjel xban nak aßan li tento tixbânu. Ut mâ ani târûk tâcßamok chak re chi rilbal li cßaßru tâcßulmânk mokon xban nak ac camenak chic.
