Mga Laygay sa Kabuhi
7 Subong nga ang maayo nga reputasyon mas maayo sang sa malahalon nga pahamot, ang adlaw sang pagkapatay mas maayo sang sa adlaw sang pagkatawo.
2 Mas maayo pa nga magkadto sa balay nga may nagapangasubo sa patay sang sa magkadto sa balay nga may punsyon, kay ang dangatan sang tanan amo ang kamatayon. Dapat dumdumon ini permi sang mga buhi.
3 Ang kasubo mas maayo pa sang sa kalipay tungod kay ang kasubo makapatadlong sa kabuhi sang tawo.
4 Ang maalamon nga tawo nagahunahuna permi parte sa kamatayon, pero ang buang-buang nga tawo nagahunahuna permi parte sa kalipayan.
5 Mas maayo pa nga magpamati ka sa pagsaway sa imo sang maalamon nga tawo sang sa magpamati ka sa pagdayaw sa imo sang buang-buang nga tawo.
6 Ang kadlaw sang buang-buang nga tawo pareho sa mga tunok nga nagabitibiti sa kalayo. Wala ini sing pulos.
7 Sigurado nga mangin pareho sa buang-buang ang maalamon nga tawo kon magpanguwarta[a] siya. Kon magbaton ka sang lagay ginaguba mo lang ang imo kaugalingon.
8 Mas maayo pa ang katapusan sang isa ka butang sang sa umpisa sini. Ang pagpasensya mas maayo pa sang sa pagpabugal.
9 Indi ka magdali-dali pangakig, kay ang kaakig amo ang kinaandan nga ginahimo sang buang-buang nga tawo.
10 Indi ka magpamangkot, “Ngaa mas maayo sang una sang sa subong?” Kay indi ina husto nga pamangkot.
11 Ang kaalam maayo nga butang pareho sa palanublion. Makabulig gid ini sa mga nagakabuhi diri sa kalibutan, 12 kag makaprotektar ini pareho sa kuwarta. Gani makabulig gid ang kaalam; makatipig ini sa kabuhi sang tawo nga may ara sini.
13 Hunahunaa bala kon ano ang ginhimo sang Dios. Sin-o bala ang makatadlong sa ginpatiko sang Dios?
14 Kon maayo ang imo kahimtangan, magkalipay ka. Pero kon ara ka sa kalisod, dumduma nga ang Dios indi lamang nagahatag sang maayo nga kahimtangan kundi sang kalisod man. Gani indi ta mahibaluan kon ano ang matabo sa palaabuton.
15 Sa sining akon kabuhi nga wala sing pulos, nakita ko ini tanan: ang mga matarong nga nagakalamatay sa pihak sang ila matarong nga kabuhi kag ang mga malaot nga nagakabuhi sing malawig sa pihak sang ila malaot nga kabuhi.
16 Indi ka magsobra kaayo ukon kaalam. Kon himuon mo ina, ginaguba mo lang ang imo kaugalingon. 17 Indi ka man magsobra kalaot, kag indi ka magbinuang-buang. Kon himuon mo ina, mapatay ka sa wala pa ang imo tion. 18 Indi ka magpasobra sa sadto nga mga butang; dapat sa tunga-tunga ka lang, kay ang nagatahod sa Dios wala nagapasobra.
19 Dako ang mahimo sang kaalam sa isa ka tawo sang sa mahimo sang napulo ka pangulo sa isa ka siyudad.
20 Wala gid sing tawo diri sa kalibutan nga nagahimo permi sang matarong kag wala nagakasala.
21 Indi pagpamatii ang tanan nga ginasiling sang tawo, kay basi kon mabatian mo nga ginapakamalaot ka sang imo suluguon. 22 Kay nahibaluan mo mismo nga kadamo nga beses nga ginpakamalaot mo man ang iban.
23 Gintestingan ko nga intiendihon ang tanan nga nagakalatabo diri sa kalibutan paagi sa akon kaalam. Naghunahuna ako nga maintiendihan ko, pero ato gali indi. 24 Indi ko matungkad ang mga nagakalatabo; mabudlay gid ini intiendihon. Wala gid sing may makaintiendi sini. 25 Pero padayon ako nga nagtuon kag nag-usisa, agod makaangkon ako sang kaalam kag sabat sa akon mga pamangkot, kag agod mahibaluan ko kon daw ano gid ka buang-buang ang tawo nga nagahimo sang malain kag daw ano kalain sing ulo ang tawo nga nagabinuang.
26 Nasapwan ko nga ang babayi nga nagapangsulay mapait pa sang sa kamatayon. Ang iya gugma pareho sa siod, kag ang iya mga kamot nga nagahakos sa imo pareho sa kadena. Makapalagyo sa iya ang tawo nga maayo sa panulok sang Dios, pero ang makasasala iya masiod niya. 27-28 Ako nga manugwali nagsiling, “Ginahunahuna ko gid sing maayo ang tagsa ka butang sa akon nga pagpangita sang sabat sa akon mga pamangkot. Sa gihapon wala ko makita ang mga sabat. Pero amo ini ang akon nasapwan: sa 1,000 ka lalaki isa lang ang matarong,[b] pero sa 1,000 ka babayi wala gid sing matarong. 29 Labaw sa tanan, nasapwan ko nga ginhimo sang Dios ang tawo nga matarong pero madamo sang ginapadihot ang tawo nga indi matarong.”

Wisdom
7 A good name is better than fine perfume,(A)
and the day of death better than the day of birth.(B)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death(C) is the destiny(D) of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,(E)
because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.(F)
5 It is better to heed the rebuke(G) of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns(H) under the pot,
so is the laughter(I) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
and a bribe(J) corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience(K) is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked(L) in your spirit,
for anger resides in the lap of fools.(M)
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days(N) better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(O)
and benefits those who see the sun.(P)
12 Wisdom is a shelter
as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:(Q)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(R)
14 When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
as well as the other.(S)
Therefore, no one can discover
anything about their future.
15 In this meaningless life(T) of mine I have seen both of these:
the righteous perishing in their righteousness,
and the wicked living long in their wickedness.(U)
16 Do not be overrighteous,
neither be overwise—
why destroy yourself?
17 Do not be overwicked,
and do not be a fool—
why die before your time?(V)
18 It is good to grasp the one
and not let go of the other.
Whoever fears God(W) will avoid all extremes.[a]
20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,(Z)
no one who does what is right and never sins.(AA)
21 Do not pay attention to every word people say,
or you(AB) may hear your servant cursing you—
22 for you know in your heart
that many times you yourself have cursed others.
23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said,
“I am determined to be wise”(AC)—
but this was beyond me.
24 Whatever exists is far off and most profound—
who can discover it?(AD)
25 So I turned my mind to understand,
to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things(AE)
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness
and the madness of folly.(AF)
26 I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,(AG)
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.(AH)
27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[b](AI) “this is what I have discovered:
“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28 while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman(AJ) among them all.
29 This only have I found:
God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.”

King James Version
Ecclesiastes 7
King James Version
7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?
17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
