； but they had no forter。
4：2因此，我赞叹那早已死的死人，胜过那还活着的活人。
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive。
4：3并且我以为那未曾生的，就是未见过日光之下恶事的，比这两等人更强。
Yea； better is he than both they； which hath not yet been； who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun。
4：4我又见人为一切的劳碌，和各样灵巧的工作，就被邻舍嫉妒。这也是虚空，也是捕风。
Again； I considered all travail； and every right work； that for this a man is envied of his neighbour。 This is also vanity and vexation of spirit。
4：5愚昧人抱着手，吃自己的肉。
The fool foldeth his hands together； and eateth his own flesh。
4：6满了一把，得享安静，强如满了两把，劳碌捕风。
Better is an handful with quietness； than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit。
4：7我又转念，见日光之下有一件虚空的事。
Then I returned； and I saw vanity under the sun。
4：8有人孤单无二，无子，无兄，竟劳碌不息，眼目也不以钱财为足。（他说）我劳劳碌碌，刻苦自己，不享福乐，到底是为谁呢。这也是虚空，是极重的劳苦。
There is one alone； and there is not a second； yea； he hath neither child nor brother： yet is there no end of all his labour； neither is his eye satisfied with riches； neither saith he； For whom do I labour； and bereave my soul of good？ This is also vanity； yea； it is a sore travail。
4：9两个人总比一个人好，因为二人劳碌同得美好的果效。
Two are better than one； because they have a good reward for their labour。
4：10若是跌倒，这人可以扶起他的同伴。若是孤身跌倒，没有别人扶起他来。这人就有祸了。
For if they fall； the one will lift up his fellow： but woe to him that is alone when he falleth； for he hath not another to help him up。
4：11再者，二人同睡，就都暖和。一人独睡，怎能暖和呢。
Again； if two lie together； then they have heat： but how can one be warm alone？
4：12有人功胜孤身一人，若有二人便能敌挡他。三股合成的绳子，不容易折断。
And if one prevail against him； two shall withstand him； and a threefold cord is not quickly broken。
4：13贫穷而有智慧的少年人，胜过年老不肯纳谏的愚昧王。
Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king； who will no more be admonished。
4：14这人是从监牢中出来作王。在他国中，生来原是贫穷的。
For out of prison he eth to reign； whereas also he that is born in his kingdom beeth poor。
4：15我见日光之下一切行动的活人，都随从那第二位，就是起来替老王的少年人。
I considered all the living which walk under the sun； with the second child that shall stand up in his stead。
4：16他所治理的众人，就是他的百姓，多得无数。在他后来的人，尚且不喜悦他。这是虚空，也是捕风。
There is no end of all the people； even of all that have been before them： they also that e after shall not rejoice in him。 Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit。
旧约 传道书（Ecclesiastes） 第 5 章 （ 本篇共有 12 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
5：1你到神的殿，要谨慎脚步。因为近前听，胜过愚昧人献祭，（或作胜过献愚昧人的祭）他们本不知道所作的是恶。
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God； and be more ready to hear； than to give the sacrifice of fools： for they consider not that they do evil。
5：2你在神面前不可冒失开口，也不可心急发言。因为神在天上，你在地下，所以你的言语要寡少。
Be not rash with thy mouth； and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God： for God is in heaven； and thou upon earth： therefore let thy words be few。
5：3事务多，就令人作梦，言语多，就显出愚昧。
For a dream eth through the multitude of business； and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words。
5：4你向神许愿，偿还不可迟延。因他不喜悦愚昧人。所以你许的愿应当偿还。
When thou vowest a vow unto God； defer not to pay it； for he hath no pleasure in fools： pay that which thou hast vowed。
5：5你许愿不还，不如不许。
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow； than that thou shouldest vow and not pay。
5：6不可任你的口使肉体犯罪。也不可在祭司（原文作使者）面前说是错许了。为何使神因你的声音发怒，败坏你手所作的呢。
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin； neither say thou before the angel； that it was an error： wherefore should God be angry at thy voice； and destroy the work of thine hands？
5：7多梦和多言，其中多有虚幻。你只要敬畏神。
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities： but fear thou God。
5：8你若在一省之中见穷人受人欺压，并夺去公义公平的事，不要因此诧异。因有一位高过居高位的鉴察。在他们以上还有更高的。
If thou seest the oppression of the poor； and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province； marvel not at the matter： for he that is higher than the highest regardeth； and there be higher than they。
5：9况且地的益处归众人。就是君王也受田地的供应。
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all： the king himself is served by the field。
5：10贪爱银子的，不因得银子知足。贪爱丰富的，也不因得利益知足。这也是虚空。
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver； nor he that loveth abundance with increase： this is also vanity。
5：11货物增添，吃的人也增添。物主得什么呢，不过眼看而已。
When goods increase； they are increased that eat them： and what good is there to the owners thereof； saving the beholding of them with their eyes？
5：12劳碌的人，不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜。富足的丰满，却不容他睡觉。
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet； whether he eat little or much： but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep。
5：13我见日光之下，有一宗大祸患，就是财主积存赀财，反害自己。
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun； namely； riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt。
5：14因遭遇祸患，这些赀财就消灭。那人若生了儿子，手里也一无所有。
But those riches perish by evil travail： and he begetteth a son； and there is nothing in his hand。
5：15他怎样从母胎赤身而来，也必照样赤身而去。他所劳碌得来的。手中分毫不能带去。
As he came forth of his mother's womb； naked shall he return to go as he came； and shall take nothing of his labour； which he may carry away in his hand。
5：16他来的情形怎样，他去的情形也怎样。这也是一宗大祸患。他为风劳碌有什么益处呢。
And this also is a sore evil； that in all points as he came； so shall he go： and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind？
5：17并且他终身在黑暗中吃喝，多有烦恼，又有病患呕气。
All his days also he eateth in darkness； and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness。
5：18我所见为善为美的，就是人在神赐他一生的日子吃喝，享受日光之下劳碌得来的好处。因为这是他的分。
Behold that which I have seen： it is good and ely for one to eat and to drink； and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life； which God giveth him： for it is his portion。
5：19神赐人赀财丰富，使他能以吃用，能取自己的分，在他劳碌中喜乐。这乃是神的恩赐。
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth； and hath given him power to eat thereof； and to take his portion； and to rejoice in his labour； this is the gift of God。
5：20他不多思念自己一生的年日。因为神应他的心使他喜乐。
For he shall not much remember the days of his life； because God answereth him in the joy of his heart。
旧约 传道书（Ecclesiastes） 第 6 章 （ 本篇共有 12 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
6：1我见日光之下有一宗祸患，重压在人身上。
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun； and it is mon among men：
6：2就是人蒙神赐他赀财，丰富，尊荣，以致他心里所愿的一样都不缺，只是神使他不能吃用，反有外人来吃用。这是虚空，也是祸患。
A man to whom God hath given riches； wealth； and honour； so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth； yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof； but a stranger eateth it： this is vanity； and it is an evil disease。
6：3人若生一百个儿子，活了许多岁数，以致他的年日甚多，心里却不得满享福乐，又不得埋葬。据我说，那不到期而落的胎比他倒好。
If a man beget an hundred children； and live many years； so that the days of his years be many； and his soul be not filled with good； and also that he have no burial； I say； that an untimely birth is better than he。
6：4因为虚虚而来，暗暗而去，名字被黑暗遮蔽。
For he eth in with vanity； and departeth in darkness； and his name shall be covered with darkness。
6：5并且没有见过天日，也无知觉。这胎，比那人倒享安息。
Moreover he hath not seen the sun； nor known any thing： this hath more rest than the other。
6：6那人虽然活千年，再活千年，却不享福，众人岂不都归一个地方去吗。
Yea； though he live a thousand years twice told； yet hath he seen no good： do not all go to one place？
6：7人的劳碌都为口腹，心里却不知足。
All the labour of man is for his mouth； and yet the appetite is not filled。
6：8这样看来，智慧人比愚昧人有什么长处呢。穷人在众人面前知道如何行，有什么长处呢。
For what hath the wise more than the fool？ what hath the poor； that knoweth to walk before the living？
6：9眼睛所看的，比心里妄想的倒好。这也是虚空，也是捕风。
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire： this is also vanity and vexation of spirit。
6：10先前所有的，早已起了名。并知道何为人。他也不能与那比自己力大的相争。
That which hath been is named already； and it is known that it is man： neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he。
6：11加增虚浮的事既多，这与人有什么益处呢。
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity； what is man the better？
6：12人一生虚度的日子，就如影儿经过。谁知道什么与他有益呢。谁能告诉他身后在日光之下有什么事呢。
For who knoweth what is good for man in this l
