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 common among 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 hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger 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 begetteth an hundred children, and liveth many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also that he hath 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 he cometh with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
5 Oo weliba qorraxda ma uu arag, mana garan, oo kaasu waa ka sii nasasho badan yahay kii kale.
Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest 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 liveth a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
7 Nin hawshiisa oo dhan waa u afkiisaa, laakiinse kama hamuun beelo.
All the labour 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 hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth 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 is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
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.
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may 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 this 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?
