在耶路撒冷作王丶大卫的儿子传道者的言语。
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
传道者说:虚空的虚空,虚空的虚空,凡事都是虚空。
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.
人一切的劳碌,就是他在日光之下的劳碌,有甚麽益处呢?
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
一代过去,一代又来,地却永远长存。
[One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
日头出来,日头落下,急归所出之地。
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
风往南刮,又向北转,不住地旋转,而且返回转行原道。
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
江河都往海里流,海却不满;江河从何处流,仍归还何处。
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
凡事满有困乏;人不能说尽。眼看,看不饱;耳听,听不足。
All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [it]: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
已有的事後必再有;已成的事後必再成。日光之下并无新事。
The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
岂有甚麽事可以指着说:『看哪,这是新的』?哪知,在我们以前的古时早已有了。
Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
已过的事,无人记念;将来的事,後来的人也不记念。
[There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after.
我传道者在耶路撒冷作过以色列的王。
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
我专心用智慧寻求丶查究天下所作的一切事,乃知 上帝叫世人所经练的是极重的劳苦。
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all [things] that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
我见日光之下所作的一切事,谁知都是虚空,使心灵忧伤。
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
弯曲的,不能变直;缺少的,不能足数。
[That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
我心里议论说:看哪,我成了尊贵人,我得了大智慧,胜过我以前在耶路撒冷的众人,而且我心中多经历智慧和知识的事。
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
我又专心察明智慧丶狂妄,和愚昧,乃知这也使心灵忧伤。
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
因为多有智慧,就多有愁烦;加增知识的,就加增忧伤。
For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
