1 The words1697 of the Preacher,6953 the son1121 of David,1732 king4428 in Jerusalem.3389
|
1 在耶路撒冷作王、大衛的兒子傳道者的言語。
|
|
2 Vanity1892 of vanities,1892 said559 the Preacher,6953 vanity1892 of vanities;1892 all3605 is vanity.1892
|
2 傳道者說：虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空。
|
|
3 What4100 profit3504 has a man120 of all3605 his labor5999 which he takes5998 under8478 the sun?8121
|
3 人一切的勞碌，就是他在日光之下的勞碌，有甚麼益處呢？
|
|
4 One generation1755 passes1980 away, and another generation1755 comes: but the earth776 stays5975 for ever.5769
|
4 一代過去，一代又來，地卻永遠長存。
|
|
5 The sun8121 also rises,2224 and the sun8121 goes935 down, and hastens7602 to his place4725 where8033 he arose.2224
|
5 日頭出來，日頭落下，急歸所出之地。
|
|
6 The wind7307 goes1980 toward413 the south,1864 and turns5437 about to the north;6828 it whirls1980 about continually, and the wind7307 returns7725 again7725 according5921 to his circuits.5439
|
6 風往南颳，又向北轉，不住地旋轉，而且返回轉行原道。
|
|
7 All3605 the rivers5158 run1980 into413 the sea;3220 yet the sea3220 is not full;4392 to the place4725 from where the rivers5158 come,1980 thither8033 they return7725 again.7725
|
7 江河都往海裏流，海卻不滿；江河從何處流，仍歸還何處。
|
|
8 All3605 things1697 are full of labor;3023 man376 cannot3808 3201 utter1696 it: the eye5869 is not satisfied7646 with seeing,7200 nor3808 the ear241 filled4390 with hearing.8085
|
8 凡事滿有困乏［All things are full of labour］；人不能說盡。眼看，看不飽；耳聽，聽不足。
|
|
9 The thing that has been,1961 it is that which shall be; and that which is done6213 is that which shall be done:6213 and there is no369 new2319 thing under8478 the sun.8121
|
9 已有的事後必再有；已成［done］的事後必再成［done］。日光之下並無新事。
|
|
10 Is there any thing1697 whereof it may be said,559 See,7200 this2088 is new?2319 it has been1961 already3528 of old5769 time, which834 was before6440 us.
|
10 豈有甚麼［any］事可以［may］指著說：『看哪［See］，這是新的』？哪知，在我們以前的古時［of old time］早已有了。
|
|
11 There is no369 remembrance2146 of former7223 things; neither3808 shall there be any remembrance2146 of things that are to come314 with those that shall come1961 after.314
|
11 已過的事［things］，無人記念；將來的事［things］，後來的人也不記念。
|
|
12 I the Preacher6953 was king4428 over5921 Israel3478 in Jerusalem.3389
|
12 我傳道者在耶路撒冷作過以色列的王。
|
|
13 And I gave5414 my heart3820 to seek1875 and search8446 out by wisdom2451 concerning5921 all3605 things that are done6213 under8478 heaven:8064 this1931 sore7451 travail6045 has God430 given5414 to the sons1121 of man120 to be exercised6031 therewith.
|
13 我專心用智慧尋求、查究天下所作的一切事，乃知神叫世人所經練的是極重的勞苦。
|
|
14 I have seen7200 all3605 the works4639 that are done6213 under8478 the sun;8121 and, behold,2009 all3605 is vanity1892 and vexation7469 of spirit.7307
|
14 我見日光之下所作的一切事，誰知［behold］都是虛空，使心靈憂傷［vexation of spirit］。
|
|
15 That which is crooked5791 cannot3808 3201 be made straight:8626 and that which is wanting2642 cannot3808 3201 be numbered.4487
|
15 彎曲的，不能變直；缺少的，不能足數。
|
|
16 I communed1696 with my own heart,3820 saying,559 See,2009 I am come to great1431 estate, and have gotten3254 more wisdom2451 than5921 all3605 they that have been1961 before6440 me in Jerusalem:3389 yes, my heart3820 had great7235 experience7200 of wisdom2451 and knowledge.1847
|
16 我心裏議論說：看哪［Lo］，我成了尊貴人［I am come to great estate］，我得了大智慧，勝過我以前在耶路撒冷的眾人，而且我心中多經歷智慧和知識的事。
|
|
17 And I gave5414 my heart3820 to know3045 wisdom,2451 and to know3045 madness1947 and folly:5531 I perceived3045 that this2088 also1571 is vexation7475 of spirit.7307
|
17 我又專心察明智慧、狂妄，和愚昧，乃知這也使心靈憂傷［vexation of spirit］。
|
|
18 For in much7230 wisdom2451 is much7230 grief:3708 and he that increases3254 knowledge1847 increases3254 sorrow.4341
|
18 因為多有智慧，就多有愁煩；加增知識的，就加增憂傷。
