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.
So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.
2 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ammaanay kuwii dhintay in ka sii badan kuwa haatan jooga ee weli nool.
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which 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.
Yea, better [is he] than both they, which 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.
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
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] an handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
7 Oo haddana waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku fiirsaday wax aan waxba tarayn.
Then I returned, and I 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 [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.
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; for [he hath] not another to help 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 heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
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 one prevail against him, 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 and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
14 Waayo, xabsi buu uga soo baxay inuu boqor noqdo, oo boqortooyadiisuu ku dhex dhashay isagoo miskiin ah.
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
15 Waxaan arkay inta nool ee qorraxda hoosteeda socota oo dhan iyagoo la jooga barbaarka meeshiisa istaagi doona.
I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall 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, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
