传道书 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1在 耶路撒冷 作王、 大卫 的儿子、传道者的言语。
1The words of Ecclesiastes, the son of David, king of Jerusalem.
2传道者说：虚空的虚空， 虚空的虚空，凡事都是虚空。
2Vanity of vanities, said Ecclesiastes vanity of vanities, and all is vanity.
3人一切的劳碌， 就是他在日光之下的劳碌，有什么益处呢？
3What hath a man more of all his labour, that he taketh under the sun?
4一代过去，一代又来， 地却永远长存。
4One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth standeth for ever.
5日头出来，日头落下， 急归所出之地。
5The sun riseth, and goeth down, and returneth to his place: and there rising again,
6风往南刮，又向北转， 不住地旋转，而且返回转行原道。
6Maketh his round by the south, and turneth again to the north: the spirit goeth forward surveying all places round about, and returneth to his circuits.
7江河都往海里流，海却不满； 江河从何处流，仍归还何处。
7All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea doth not overflow: unto the place from whence the rivers come, they return, to flow again.
8万事令人厌烦， 人不能说尽。 眼看，看不饱； 耳听，听不足。
8All things are hard: man cannot explain them by word. The eye is not filled with seeing, neither is the ear filled with hearing.
9已有的事后必再有； 已行的事后必再行。 日光之下并无新事。
9What is it that hath been? the same thing that shall be. What is it that hath been done? the same that shall be done.
10岂有一件事人能指着说这是新的？ 哪知 ，在我们以前的世代早已有了。
10Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.
11已过的 世代 ，无人记念； 将来的 世代 ，后来的人也不记念。
11There is no remembrance of former things: nor indeed of those things which hereafter are to come, shall there be any remembrance with them that shall be in the latter end.
12我传道者在 耶路撒冷 作过 以色列 的王。
12I Ecclesiastes was king over Israel in Jerusalem,
13我专心用智慧寻求、查究天下所做的一切事， 乃知 神叫世人所经练的是极重的劳苦。
13And I proposed in my mind to seek and search out wisely concerning all things that are done under the sun. This painful occupation hath God given to the children of men, to be exercised therein.
14我见日光之下所做的一切事，都是虚空，都是捕风。
14I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and vexation of spirit.
15弯曲的，不能变直； 缺少的，不能足数。
15The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.
16我心里议论说：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。
16I have spoken in my heart, saying: Behold I am become great, and have gone beyond all in wisdom, that were before me in Jerusalem: and my mind hath contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned.
17我又专心察明智慧、狂妄，和愚昧，乃知这也是捕风。
17And I have given my heart to know prudence, and learning, and errors, and folly: and I have perceived that in these also there was labour, and vexation of spirit,
18因为多有智慧，就多有愁烦； 加增知识的，就加增忧伤。
18Because In much wisdom there is much indignation: and he that addeth knowledge, addeth also labour.
