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 before you ; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children , so they enjoyed their portion ; thus have you enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion ; and you entered into vain discourses like the vain discourses in which entered those before you . These are they whose works are null in this world and the hereafter , and these are they who are the losers .
