Ecclesiastes 4:4 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015

Tena nikaona kuwa kazi zote na mafanikio yote huchipuka kutokana na wivu wa mtu kwa jirani yake. Hili nalo ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo.

Ecclesiastes 4:4 in English

Ecclesiastes 4:4 · Berean Standard Bible

I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Context

2Nami nikasema kwamba wafu, waliokwisha kufa, wana furaha kuliko watu walio hai, ambao bado wanaishi. 3Lakini aliye bora kuliko hao wawili ni yule ambaye hajazaliwa bado, ambaye hajaona ule uovu unaofanyika chini ya jua. 4Tena nikaona kuwa kazi zote na mafanikio yote huchipuka kutokana na wivu wa mtu kwa jirani yake. Hili nalo ni ubatili, ni kukimbiza upepo. 5Mpumbavu hukunja mikono yake na kujiangamiza mwenyewe. 6Afadhali konzi moja pamoja na utulivu kuliko konzi mbili pamoja na taabu na kukimbiza upepo.
