Ecclesiastes 1:7-10

⁷Waira anatapui au boga e opuopu, wate boga eḡa ita oaoai. Waira matanei, e ḡaiḡairai ma e nenae me au matana.

⁸Kaua anatapuna i viʼnigarigari, menanare tana riwa nei? Matata eḡa melanai ina inana iaua; Taniḡata eḡa melanai ina nonora iaua.

⁹Aiwai wariaḡa i tupua ina tupua me, aiwai wariaḡa i kauei ina kauana-melei. Eḡa aiwai, kaua vouna wei au dobuna!

¹⁰E ririwa, “Ona inanai! Wei kaua vouna.” Wate eḡa! Wei kaua maemaena; wariaḡana, muriai da ta tupua.
