updeshak di kitab 6:1-12
6 mai dharti utte ik hor afsos di gall dekhi jo insaana vich aam hai:
2 sacha parmeshwar insaan nu dhan-daulat te mehma dinda hai taaki os kol kise cheez di ghaat na hove jo oh chahunda hai; par sacha parmeshwar os nu ihna cheeza da maza nahi lain dinda, sago ajnabi ihna da maza lainda hai. eh viarth hai atey bahut dukh di gall hai.
3 je koi aadmi 100 bachya da pita bann-da hai atey budhape tak lambi zindagi jeeunda hai, par kabar vich jaan to pehla apnia changiya cheeza da maza nahi lainda, taa mai kehnda ha ki os aadmi nalo marya paida hoya bacha kite changa hai.+
4 os bache da duniya vich aauna viarth si atey oh benaam hi hanere vich gumm ho gaya.
5 bhave os ne sooraj di roshni tak nahi dekhi ja os ne kujh nahi jaanya, fir vi oh os aadmi nalo kite changa hai.+
6 je 2,000 saal ji ke vi zindagi da maza nahi lya, taa kee faida? kee sare jane ikko hi jagah nahi jande?+
7 ik aadmi jinni vi mehnat karda hai, apna tid bharan layi karda hai,+ par os di bhukh nahi mitdi.
8 taa fir, budhiman insaan moorkh nalo kive changa hoya?+ ja fir, je gareeb apna guzara karna* jaanda hai, taa is da os nu kee faida?
9 ohna cheeza da maza laina changa hai jo akkha samne han, na ki apnia ichhava pichhe bhajjna. eh vi viarth hai atey hava pichhe bhajjan de barabar hai.
10 jo kujh vi hond vich hai, os da pehla hi naa rakhya ja chukka hai atey eh pata lagg gaya hai ki insaan hai hi kee; oh apne nalo takatvar naal behes* nahi kar sakda.
11 bahutiya galla* viarth saabat hundiya han; insaan nu ohna da kee faida?
12 kaun jaanda hai ki chhoti jehi viarth zindagi vich insaan layi kee karna sabh to vadiya hai jo parchhave vang beet jandi hai?+ kaun os nu dass sakda hai ki os de maran to baad dharti utte kee hovega?
