Fimbo tu nomhito, natu ninge ouwa
1 Ekela omungome woye kombada yomeva, osheshi ngeenge pa piti omafiku mahapu ove to ke u mona. 2 Oshitukulwa shi yandjela vaheyali, heeno, vahetatu yo, osheshi inamu shiiva omupya washike tau ka kala kombada yedu. 3 Oilemo ngeenge i yadi odula, yo otai i lokele edu. Ndele omuti ngeenge tau wile kOumbuwanhu ile kOumbangalanhu, kombinga tuu oyo omuti tau wile ko, oko tau nangala. 4 Ou ha tale omhepo, ita ka kuna nande; ndele ou ha tale oilemo, ita ka teya nande. 5 Ngaashi ino shiiva ondjila yomhepo ile nhumbi omakipa taa kulu mo medimo lomufimba, nosho ino shiiva oilonga aishe yaKalunga. 6 Ombuto yoye i kuna ongula, ndele ino tulumukifa eke loye komatango. Osheshi ku shi shii, ilipipo tai ka mena, oyo ile inya, ile ngeenge aishe ivali tai ka kala ya wapala.

Ndele enda neendjila domwenyo woye, ndelenee kala u shi shii nokutya, Kalunga ote ku tokolifa molwaashishe eshi. 10 Ndele taataa mo oluhodi momwenyo woye, ndele kandula po omauyehame molutu loye, osheshi ehafo nounyasha yo oyongahoelela.
It Pays To Work Hard
1 Be generous, and someday
you will be rewarded.
2 Share what you have
with seven or eight others,
because you never know
when disaster may strike.
3 Rain clouds always bring rain;
trees always stay
wherever they fall.
4 If you worry about the weather
and don't plant seeds,
you won't harvest a crop.
5 No one can explain how a baby breathes before it is born. So how can anyone explain what God does? After all, God created everything.
6 Plant your seeds early in the morning and keep working in the field until dark. Who knows? Your work might pay off, and your seeds might produce.
Youth and Old Age
7 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. 8 Even if you have a very long life, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. Nothing makes sense.
9 Be cheerful and enjoy life while you are young! Do what you want and find pleasure in what you see. But don't forget that God will judge you for everything you do.
10 Rid yourself of all worry and pain, because the wonderful moments of youth quickly disappear.
