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 I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, and they had no comforter.
2 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ammaanay kuwii dhintay in ka sii badan kuwa haatan jooga ee weli nool.
Then I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive;
3 Oo weliba waxaa labadoodaba ka wanaagsan kan aan weli dhalan oo aan arag shuqulka sharka ah oo qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo.
and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that 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 all labour, and all success of work, that it is man's jealousy of his neighbour. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.
5 Nacasku gacmihiisuu isku duudduubaa, oo wuxuu cunaa hilibkiisa.
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6 Sacab muggiis oo xasilloonaan lagu helo ayaa ka wanaagsan laba sacab oo hawl iyo dabagalka dabaysha lagu helo.
Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full with labour and pursuit of the wind.
7 Oo haddana waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku fiirsaday wax aan waxba tarayn.
And I returned and saw vanity 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.
There is one [alone] and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.
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 labour.
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.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and who hath not another to lift him up!
11 Oo haddana haddii laba wada seexdaan way iskululeeyaan, laakiinse sidee baa mid keligiis ahu u kululaan karaa?
Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one alone be warm?
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 if a [man] overpower the one, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is 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.
Better is a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth no more how to be admonished.
14 Waayo, xabsi buu uga soo baxay inuu boqor noqdo, oo boqortooyadiisuu ku dhex dhashay isagoo miskiin ah.
For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom.
15 Waxaan arkay inta nool ee qorraxda hoosteeda socota oo dhan iyagoo la jooga barbaarka meeshiisa istaagi doona.
I saw all the living that walk under the sun, with the child, the second, that should stand up in his stead.
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 is] no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.
