እንደነዚያ ከናንተ በፊት እንደ ነበሩት ናችሁ ፡ ፡ ከእናንተ ይበልጥ በኃይል የበረቱ በገንዘቦችም በልጆችም ይበልጥ የበዙ ነበሩ ፡ ፡ በዕድላቸውም ተጠቀሙ ፡ ፡ እነዚያም ከእናንተ በፊት የነበሩት በዕድላቸው እንደተጠቀሙ በዕድላችሁ ተጠቀማችሁ ፡ ፡ እንደነዚያም እንደዘባረቁት ዘባረቃችሁ ፡ ፡ እነዚያ ሥራዎቻቸው በቅርቢቱም በመጨረሻይቱም ዓለም ተበላሹ ፡ ፡ እነዚያም ከሳሪዎቹ እነሱ ናቸው ፡ ፡
Like those who were before you – they were mightier than you in strength , and had more wealth and children than you ; so they spent their portion – you spent your portion just as those before you spent their portion and you fell into shame ( sin ) like they had fallen into shame ; their deeds have been wasted in the world and in the Hereafter ; it is they who are the losers .
