Alas the woe for you, alas!
Your ruin has come close, still closer.
Nearer to thee and nearer
[And yet, O man, thine end comes hourly] nearer unto thee, and nearer –
Woe Unto thee; woe!
Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you!
Woe to you; and woe.
This (attitude) is worthy of you, altogether worthy;
Woe to you! And then woe to you!
Nearer unto thee and nearer,
So, woe to you! Woe to you!
Near to you and nearer,
Woe to you, and woe!
Woe to you!
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
Awl<u>a</u> laka faawl<u>a</u>
Woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you.
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
