< Lallaba 6 >
1 Ani aduudhaa gaditti waan hamaa biraa argeera; kunis akka malee namatti ulfaata:
There [is] an evil which I have seen under the sun and [is] great it on humankind.
2 Waaqni akka namni waan garaa isaatti hawwu tokko iyyuu hin dhabneef qabeenya, badhaadhummaa fi ulfina isaaf kenne; Waaqni garuu akka inni itti gammadu hin goone; qooda namichaa nama ormaatu itti gammada. Kun waan faayidaa hin qabnee dha; hammina nama gaddisiisuudhas.
Anyone whom he gives to him God wealth and riches and honor and not he [is] lacking to appetite his - any of all that he desires and not he gives power him God to eat from it for a man foreign he eats it this [is] futility and [is] an affliction an evil it.
3 Namni tokko ijoollee dhibba qabaatee waggoota baayʼee jiraachuu dandaʼa; inni hamma fedhe jiraatu illee yoo qabeenya isaatti gammaduu baatee awwaala gaariis argachuu baate, ani, “Isaa mannaa gatata wayya” nan jedha.
If he will father anyone one hundred [children] and years many he will live and [will be] many - [that] which will be [the] days of years his and self his not it will be satisfied from the good and also burial not it belonged to him I say [is] good more than him the miscarriage.
4 Inni akkasumaan dhufa; dukkana keessa bada; maqaan isaas dukkanaan haguugama.
For in futility it came and in darkness it will go and in darkness name its it is covered.
5 Inni yoo aduu arguu baate iyyuu yookaan yoo homaa beekuu baate iyyuu boqonnaa namichi sun argatu caalaa boqonnaa qabaata.
Also [the] sun not it saw and not it knew rest [belongs] to this one more than this one.
6 Inni waggaa kuma yeroo lama jiraatu illee yoo jireenya gaarii hin jiraatin, namni hundi idduma tokko dhaqa mitii?
And if he lived a thousand years two times and good not he saw ¿ not to a place one [are] all going.
7 Dadhabbiin nama hundaa afaanuma isaatiif; fedhiin isaa garuu yoom iyyuu hin guutu.
All [the] toil of humankind [is] for mouth his and also the appetite not it will be filled.
8 Ogeessi maaliin gowwaa caala? Hiyyeessi akka itti fuula namootaa dura jiraatu beekuudhaan faayidaa maalii argata?
For what? advantage [belongs] to the wise person more than the fool what? [belongs] to the poor [person] [who] knows to walk before the living.
9 Hawwiidhaan jooruu mannaa waan iji argu wayya. Kunis bubbee ariʼuu malee faayidaa hin qabu.
[is] good [the] sight of Eyes more than going desire also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
10 Waan jiru hundaaf duraanuu maqaan baʼeera; maalummaan namaas beekamaa dha; namni tokko iyyuu nama isa caalaa humna qabuun morkachuu hin dandaʼu.
Whatever [that] which has been already it has been named name its and [is] known [that] which he humankind [is] and not he is able to contend with ([one] who [is] mighty *Q(K)*) more than him.
11 Dubbiin akkuma baayʼatuun faayidaa dhaba; yoos wanni sun akkamiin nama kam iyyuu fayyada?
For there [are] words certainly they increase futility what? advantage [belongs] to person.
12 Bara jireenya namaa kan inni akkuma gaaddisaatti keessa baʼee darbu gabaabaa faayidaa hin qabne kana keessa eenyutu waan namaaf gaarii taʼe beeka? Waan erga inni deemee booddee aduudhaa gaditti taʼus eenyutu isatti himuu dandaʼa?
For who? [is] knowing what? [is] good for person in life [the] number of [the] days of [the] life of futility his and he spends them like shadow that who? will he tell to person what? will it be after him under the sun.
