Wacdiyahii 4
1 Markaasaan mar kale soo fiirsaday waxyaalaha dulmiga ah ee qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan, oo waxaan fiiriyey kuwa la dulmay ilmadoodii, oo mid u qalbi qabowjiyana ma ay lahayn. Kuwii iyaga dulmayay dhankooda xoog baa jiray, laakiinse iyagu qalbiqabowjiye ma ay lahayn.
And again I saw all the cruel things which are done under the sun; there was the weeping of those who have evil done to them, and they had no comforter: and from the hands of the evil-doers there went out power, but they had no comforter.
2 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ammaanay kuwii dhintay in ka sii badan kuwa haatan jooga ee weli nool.
So my praise was for the dead who have gone to their death, more than for the living who still have life.
3 Oo weliba waxaa labadoodaba ka wanaagsan kan aan weli dhalan oo aan arag shuqulka sharka ah oo qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo.
Yes, happier than the dead or the living seemed he who has not ever been, who has not seen the evil which is done under the sun.
4 Oo haddana waxaan arkay in hawl oo dhan iyo shuqul kasta oo lagu guulaystoba uu nin deriskiisu ugu hinaaso. Oo taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
5 Nacasku gacmihiisuu isku duudduubaa, oo wuxuu cunaa hilibkiisa.
The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.
6 Sacab muggiis oo xasilloonaan lagu helo ayaa ka wanaagsan laba sacab oo hawl iyo dabagalka dabaysha lagu helo.
One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.
7 Oo haddana waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku fiirsaday wax aan waxba tarayn.
Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.
8 Waxaa jira mid keligiis ah oo uusan mid labaadna wehelin, oo aan wiil iyo walaal toona lahayn. Hawshiisa oo dhammu dhammaad ma leh, oo indhihiisuna taajirnimo kama dhergaan. Oo wuxuu isku yidhaahdaa, Bal yaan u hawshoonayaa, yaanse naftayda waxyaalo wanwanaagsan ugu diidayaa? Taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn, waana dhib aad u xun.
It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.
9 Laba waa ka wanaagsan yihiin mid qudha, maxaa yeelay, abaalgud wanaagsan bay hawshooda ka helaan.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.
10 Waayo, hadday dhacaan, mid ba wadaygiis sare u qaadi doona, laakiinse waxaa iska hoogay kii markuu dhaco keligiis ah, oo aan lahayn mid kale oo sare u qaada.
And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.
11 Oo haddana haddii laba wada seexdaan way iskululeeyaan, laakiinse sidee baa mid keligiis ahu u kululaan karaa?
So again, if two are sleeping together they are warm, but how may one be warm by himself?
12 Oo hadduu nin ka adkaado mid keligiis ah kolley laba way hor joogsan doonaan. Xadhig saddex qaybood laysugu soohay dhaqso uma kala go'o.
And two attacked by one would be safe, and three cords twisted together are not quickly broken.
13 Boqor nacas ah oo gaboobay oo aan innaba mar dambe talo qaadan waxaa ka wanaagsan barbaar miskiin ah oo xigmad leh.
A young man who is poor and wise is better than a king who is old and foolish and will not be guided by the wisdom of others.
14 Waayo, xabsi buu uga soo baxay inuu boqor noqdo, oo boqortooyadiisuu ku dhex dhashay isagoo miskiin ah.
Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.
15 Waxaan arkay inta nool ee qorraxda hoosteeda socota oo dhan iyagoo la jooga barbaarka meeshiisa istaagi doona.
I saw all the living under the sun round the young man who was to be ruler in place of the king.
16 Dadka uu isagu u taliyey oo dhammu dhammaad ma lahayn, laakiinse kuwa isaga ka daba iman doonaa kuma rayrayn doonaan isaga. Hubaal taasuna waa wax aan waxtar lahayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
