Dulmi, Hawl, Iyo Saaxiibla'aannimo

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. Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ammaanay kuwii dhintay in ka sii badan kuwa haatan jooga ee weli nool. Oo weliba waxaa labadoodaba ka wanaagsan kan aan weli dhalan oo aan arag shuqulka sharka ah oo qorraxda hoosteeda lagu sameeyo.

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. Nacasku gacmihiisuu isku duudduubaa, oo wuxuu cunaa hilibkiisa. Sacab muggiis oo xasilloonaan lagu helo ayaa ka wanaagsan laba sacab oo hawl iyo dabagalka dabaysha lagu helo.

Oo haddana waxaan qorraxda hoosteeda ku fiirsaday wax aan waxba tarayn. 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. Laba waa ka wanaagsan yihiin mid qudha, maxaa yeelay, abaalgud wanaagsan bay hawshooda ka helaan. 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. 11 Oo haddana haddii laba wada seexdaan way iskululeeyaan, laakiinse sidee baa mid keligiis ahu u kululaan karaa? 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.

Dallacaaddu Micne Ma Leh

13 Boqor nacas ah oo gaboobay oo aan innaba mar dambe talo qaadan waxaa ka wanaagsan barbaar miskiin ah oo xigmad leh. 14 Waayo, xabsi buu uga soo baxay inuu boqor noqdo, oo boqortooyadiisuu ku dhex dhashay isagoo miskiin ah. 15 Waxaan arkay inta nool ee qorraxda hoosteeda socota oo dhan iyagoo la jooga barbaarka meeshiisa istaagi doona. 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.

Oppression, Toil, Friendlessness

Again I looked and saw all the oppression(A) that was taking place under the sun:

I saw the tears of the oppressed—
    and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
    and they have no comforter.(B)
And I declared that the dead,(C)
    who had already died,
are happier than the living,
    who are still alive.(D)
But better than both
    is the one who has never been born,(E)
who has not seen the evil
    that is done under the sun.(F)

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(G)

Fools fold their hands(H)
    and ruin themselves.
Better one handful with tranquillity
    than two handfuls with toil(I)
    and chasing after the wind.

Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:

There was a man all alone;
    he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
    yet his eyes were not content(J) with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
    “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
    a miserable business!

Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
    But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Advancement Is Meaningless

13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. 14 The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. 15 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. 16 There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

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.

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

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.

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.

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

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.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 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 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.

15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

16 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.
