Ecclesiastes 6

1 I don notice say serious injustice dey happen for this world.

2 God go give someone wealth, honor, and property, yes, everything wey he want, but then he no go allow him enjoy am. Instead na strangers go enjoy am. E dey useless, and all dey wrong.

3 Person fit get hundred children and fit live long time, but e no matter how long wey he live, if he no get him share of happiness and he no get better burial, then I go talk say pikin wey dem born dead better pass am.

4 E no go make sense for that kind pikin if to say dem born am; e disappear enter darkness, where dem go forget am.

5 E never see the light of the day or know wetin life be, but at least e don find rest-

6 And e better pass the man wey never enjoy life, though he fit live 2,000 years. But na the same place both of them dey go.

7 People dey do all their work just to get something wey dem go chop, but dem never get enough.

8 How the wise better pass fool? Wetin be the good wey e do the poor to know how to face life?

9 Na vanity, na like person wey dey run after wind. E better make person dey happy with wetin he get pass to dey always want something else.

10 God don determine everything wey dey happen for long, and we all know say you no fit argue with someone wey strong pass you.

11 As una argue reach, naso useless e go be, and una no better pass.

12 How anybody fit know wetin be the best for us in this short, useless life wey we get- life wey dey pass like shadow? How we fit know wetin go happen for the world after we die?
