THE AVARICE OF plenitude keeps you occupied

The craving for excess wealth kept you people neglectful .

Gross rivalry diverts you ,

The emulous desire of abundance engrosseth you ,

The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you ,

Abundance distracts you .

The craving for ever greater worldly gains and to excel others in that regard keeps you occupied

Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

Rivalry and vainglory distracted you

The excessive gathering ( of increase and boasting ) occupied you ( from worshipping and obeying )

Competition in worldly increase diverts you

The desire to have more of the worldly gains have pre occupied you so much ( that you have neglected remembring God ) ,

Abundance diverts you ,

Greed for more and more distracted you from God

The mutual rivalry for piling up ( the good things of this world ) diverts you ( from the more serious things ) ,

And yet if you knew with positive knowledge

Yes certainly , if you had believed with certainty , you would not have craved for wealth .

No indeed did you know with the knowledge of certainty ,

Lo ! would that ye knew now with the surety of knowledge !

Nay ! If you knew with a sure knowledge ( the end result of piling up , you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things )

If you knew with knowledge of certainty .

Nay , would that you knew with certainty of knowledge ( what your attitude will lead to , you would never have acted the way you do ) .

Nay , would that ye knew ( now ) with a sure knowledge !

Indeed , were you to know with certain knowledge ,

Indeed , did you know with certain knowledge

No ! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty ...

You will certainly have the knowledge of your deeds beyond all doubt .

Nay ! if you had known with a certain knowledge ,

Indeed , were you to know the truth with certainty ,

Nay , were ye to know with certainty of mind , ( ye would beware ! )
