Wacdiyahii 6
1 Waxaa jira wax xun oo aan qorraxda hoosteeda ku arkay, taasuna waa wax dadka ku culus,
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:
2 waana nin Ilaah siiyey maal, iyo hanti, iyo sharaf, oo wax alla wixii naftiisu jeceshahayna aan waxba ka dhinnayn, oo haddana Ilaah isaga aan siin karti uu wax kaga cuno, laakiinse uu shisheeye iska cuno. Taasu waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dhibaato xun.
a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 Haddii nin boqol carruur ah dhalo, oo uu sannado badan noolaado si uu u cimri dheeraado, laakiinse ayan naftiisu wax wanaagsan ka dhergin, oo haddana aan la aasin, waxaan leeyahay, Kaas waxaa ka wanaagsan dhicis.
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:
4 Waayo, dhicisku wax aan waxba tarayn ayuu u yimaadaa, gudcur buuna ku tagaa, oo magiciisana gudcur baa daboola.
for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;
5 Oo weliba qorraxda ma uu arag, mana garan, oo kaasu waa ka sii nasasho badan yahay kii kale.
moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:
6 In kastoo uu noolaado kun sannadood oo laba jibbaar ah, laakiinse uusan wax wanaagsan ku raaxaysan, sow kulliba isku meel lama wada tago?
yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?
7 Nin hawshiisa oo dhan waa u afkiisaa, laakiinse kama hamuun beelo.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 Waayo, bal kii xigmad lahu maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu nacaska dheer yahay? Miskiinkii kuwa nool hortooda si loogu socdo yaqaanse, maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu leeyahay?
For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? [or] what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?
9 Damac iska wareega waxaa ka wanaagsan indhaha aragtiddooda, taasuna waa wax aan waxba tarayn iyo dabagalka dabaysha oo kale.
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
10 Nin waluba wuxuu yahayba waa horaa loo magacaabay, oo waa la garanayaa inuu binu-aadmi yahay, oo lamana uu diriri karo kan isaga ka xoog badan.
Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 Waxaa jira waxyaalo badan oo sii kordhiya waxa aan waxba tarayn, bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo uu binu-aadmigu leeyahay?
Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 Waayo, bal yaa garanaya waxa qof u wanaagsan intuu nool yahay oo ah maalmihii cimrigiisa aan waxba tarayn oo dhan ee uu sida hoos oo kale u dhaafiyo? Waayo, bal yaa nin u sheegi kara waxa qorraxda hoosteeda isaga dabadiis ahaan doona?
For who knoweth what is good for man in [his] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
