传道书 2:1 · Ecclesiastes 2:1
我心里说:「来吧,我以喜乐试试你,你好享福。」谁知,这也是虚空。
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [is] vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2 · King James Version
英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 26 节
我心里说:「来吧,我以喜乐试试你,你好享福。」谁知,这也是虚空。
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [is] vanity.
我指嬉笑说:「这是狂妄。」论喜乐说:「有何功效呢?」
I said of laughter, [It is] mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
我心里察究,如何用酒使我肉体舒畅,我心却仍以智慧引导我;又如何持住愚昧,等我看明世人,在天下一生当行何事为美。
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
我为自己动大工程,建造房屋,栽种葡萄园,
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
修造花园果园,在其中栽种各样果木树;
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits:
挖造水池,用以浇灌嫩小的树木。
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
我买了仆婢,也有生在家中的仆婢;又有许多大小牲畜,胜过以前在耶路撒冷众人所有的。
I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
我又为自己积蓄金银和特为君王的财宝,并各省的财宝;又得唱歌的男女和世人所喜爱的物,就如乐器,并各其类。
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
这样,我就日见昌盛,胜过以前在耶路撒冷的众人。我的智慧仍然存留。
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
凡我眼所求的,我没有留下不给它们的;我心所乐的,我没有禁止不享受的;因我的心为我一切所劳碌的快乐,这就是我从劳碌中所得的分。
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
後来,我察看我手所经营的一切事和我劳碌所成的功。谁知都是虚空,使心灵忧伤;在日光之下毫无益处。
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun.
我转念观看智慧丶狂妄,和愚昧。在王以後而来的人还能作甚麽呢?也不过行早先所行的就是了。
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been already done.
我便看出智慧胜过愚昧,如同光明胜过黑暗。
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
智慧人的眼目在他头上,愚昧人在黑暗里行。我却看明有一件事,这两等人都必遇见。
The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
我就心里说:「愚昧人所遇见的,我也必遇见,我为何更有智慧呢?」我心里说,这也是虚空。
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity.
智慧人和愚昧人一样,永远无人记念,因为日後都被忘记;智慧人又怎样死呢?不过与愚昧人无异。
For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise [man]? as the fool.
我所以恨恶生命;因为在日光之下所行的事我都以为烦恼,都是虚空,使心灵忧伤。
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
我恨恶一切的劳碌,就是我在日光之下的劳碌,因为我得来的必留给我以後的人。
Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
那人是智慧是愚昧,谁能知道?他竟要管理我劳碌所得的,就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的。这也是虚空。
And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise [man] or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This [is] also vanity.
故此,我转想我在日光之下的一切劳碌,心便绝望。
Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
因为有人用智慧丶知识丶公正所劳碌得来的,却要留给未曾劳碌的人为分。这也是虚空,也是大患。
For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.
人在日光之下劳碌累心,在他一切的劳碌上得着甚麽呢?
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
因为他日日忧虑,他的劳苦成为愁烦,连夜间心也不安。这也是虚空。
For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
人莫过於吃喝,且在劳碌中享福,我看这也是出於 上帝的手。
[There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
论到吃用丶享福,谁能胜过我呢?
For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto], more than I?
上帝在他眼中看谁为好,就给谁智慧丶知识,和喜乐;唯有罪人, 上帝使他劳苦,叫他将所收聚的丶所堆积的归给 上帝所喜悦的人。这也是虚空,使心灵忧伤。
For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
