Ecclesiastes 1

World English Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem:
1在 耶路撒冷 作王、 大卫 的儿子、传道者的言语。
2“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
2传道者说：虚空的虚空， 虚空的虚空，凡事都是虚空。
3What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?
3人一切的劳碌， 就是他在日光之下的劳碌，有什么益处呢？
4One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.
4一代过去，一代又来， 地却永远长存。
5The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.
5日头出来，日头落下， 急归所出之地。
6The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses.
6风往南刮，又向北转， 不住地旋转，而且返回转行原道。
7All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.
7江河都往海里流，海却不满； 江河从何处流，仍归还何处。
8All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
8万事令人厌烦， 人不能说尽。 眼看，看不饱； 耳听，听不足。
9That which has been is that which shall be, and that which has been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.
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。
10Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new”? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.
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。
11There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
11已过的 世代 ，无人记念； 将来的 世代 ，后来的人也不记念。
12I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
12我传道者在 耶路撒冷 作过 以色列 的王。
13I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
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。
14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
14我见日光之下所做的一切事，都是虚空，都是捕风。
15That which is crooked can’t be made straight; and that which is lacking can’t be counted.
15弯曲的，不能变直； 缺少的，不能足数。
16I said to myself, “Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”
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。
17I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.
17我又专心察明智慧、狂妄，和愚昧，乃知这也是捕风。
18For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
18因为多有智慧，就多有愁烦； 加增知识的，就加增忧伤。
