Ecclesiastes 4:16 in Malayalam

അവൻ അസംഖ്യജനത്തിന്നു ഒക്കെയും തലവനായിരുന്നു; എങ്കിലും പിന്നെയുള്ളവർ അവനിൽ സന്തോഷിക്കയില്ല. അതും മായയും വൃഥാപ്രയത്നവും അത്രേ.

Avan asankhyajanattinnu okkeyum talavanaayirunnu; engkilum pinneyullavar avanil santoshikkayilla. Atum maayayum vruthaaprayatnavum atre.

Ecclesiastes 4:16 in English

King James Version (KJV)
[There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
World English Bible (WEB)
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
American Standard Version (ASV)
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
Darby Translation (DBY)
[There is] no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.
Webster's Bible (WBS)
[There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
