Ecclesiastes 4:8 in Kannada

ಎರಡನೆಯವನಿಲ್ಲದ ಒಬ್ಬೊಂಟಿಗನು ಒಬ್ಬನಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ಹೌದು, ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮಗುವಾಗಲೀ ಸಹೋದರನಾಗಲೀ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಆದರೂ ಅವನ ಪ್ರಯಾಸಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊನೆಯಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯ ದಿಂದ ಅವನ ಕಣ್ಣು ತೃಪ್ತಿಹೊಂದದು; ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ ಅವನು--ನಾನು ಯಾರಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಪ್ರಾಣ ವನ್ನು ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಸುಖವಿಲ್ಲದ ಹಾಗೆ ಕೊರೆತೆಪಡಿಸು ತ್ತೇನೆ; ಎಂದು ಅವನು ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು. ಇದು ಕೂಡ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವೇ; ಹೌದು, ವ್ಯಥೆಯಿಂದಾದ ಪ್ರಯಾಸವೇ.

Eradaneyavanillada obbontiganu obbaniddaane; haudu, avanige maguvaagalee sahodaranaagalee illa; aadaroo avana prayaasakke koneyilla. Allade aishvarya dinda avana kannu truptihondadu; maatravallade avanu--naanu yaarigoskara kashtapattu praana vannu adakke sukhavillada haage koretepadisu ttene; endu avanu andukolluvanu. Idu kooda vyarthave; haudu, vyatheyindaada prayaasave.

Ecclesiastes 4:8 in English

King James Version (KJV)
There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.
World English Bible (WEB)
There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.
American Standard Version (ASV)
There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.
Darby Translation (DBY)
There is one [alone] and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.
Webster's Bible (WBS)
There is one [alone] , and [there is] not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he] , For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yes, it [is] a grievous labor.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.
