Ecclesiastes 11 Send your bread upon the face of the water! for in a multitude of days you will find it.

ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G649 Send G3588 G740 your bread G1473 G1909 upon G4383 the face G3588 of the G5204 water! G3754 for G1722 in G4128 a multitude G3588 G2250 of days G2147 you will find G1473 it.

2 G1325 Give G3310 a portion G3588 G2033 to seven, G2532 even G1065 indeed G3588 G3638 to eight! G3754 for G3756 you do not G1097 know G5100 what G1510.8.3 evil there will be G4190 G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth.

3 G1437 If G4137 [³should be filled G3588 ¹the G3509 ²clouds] G5205 of rain, G1909 [²upon G3588 ³the G1093 ⁴earth G1632 ¹they pour out]; G2532 and G1437 if G4098 [²should fall G3586 ¹a tree] G1722 towards G3588 the G3558 south, G2532 or G1437 if G1722 towards G3588 the G1005 north, G5117 in the place G3739 where G4098 [³shall fall G3588 ¹the G3586 ²tree] G1563 there G1510.8.3 it shall be.

4 G5083 Giving heed to G417 the wind G3756 one does not G4687 sow, G2532 and G991 one looking G1722 into G3588 the G3507 clouds G3756 will not G2325 harvest.

5 G1722 Among G3739 the ones in whom G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G1097 knowing G5100 what G3588 the G3598 way G3588 of the G4151 wind is, G5613 as G3747 the bones G1722 in G1064 the womb G3588 G2952.5 of one being with child, G3779 so G3756 you shall not G1097 know G3588 the G4161 actions G3588 G2316 of God, G3745 as much as G4160 he shall do G3588 G4840.2 in all things.

6 G1722 At G4405 morning G4687 sow G3588 G4690 your seed, G1473 G2532 and G1722 at G2073 evening G3361 do not G863 relieve G3588 G5495 your hand! G1473 G3754 for G3756 you do not G1097 know G4169 what G4748 will line up -- G2228 G3778 this here, G2228 G3778 this there, G2532 or G1437 if G3588 the G1417 two G2009.1 [²together G18 ¹ are good].

7 G2532 Moreover G1099 [² is sweet G3588 G5457 ¹ the light], G2532 and G18 it is good G3588 to the G3788 eyes G3588 G991 to see G4862 with G3588 the G2246 sun.

8 G3754 For G2532 even G1437 if G2094 [⁴years G4183 ³many G2198 ²shall live G3588 G444 ¹a man], G1722 in G3956 all G1473 them G2165 he shall be glad. G2532 And G3403 [⁴shall be remembered G3588 ¹the G2250 ²days G3588 G4655 ³of darkness], G3754 for G4183 they will be many. G1510.8.6 G3956 All G3588 G2064 coming G3153 is folly.

9 G2165 Be glad, G3495 O young man, G1722 in G3503 your youth! G1473 G2532 and G18.2 let [²do you good G1473 G3588 G2588 ¹your heart] G1473 G1722 in G2250 the days G3503 of your youth! G1473 G2532 And G4043 walk G1722 in G3598 the ways G2588 of your heart G1473 G299 unblemished, G2532 and G1722 in G3706 the vision G3788 of your eyes! G1473 G2532 And G1097 know G3754 that G1909 in G3956 all G3778 these G71 [²shall lead G1473 ³you G3588 G2316 ¹God] G1519 in G2920 equity!

10 G2532 And G868 leave G2372 rage G575 from G2588 your heart, G1473 G2532 and G3855 pass off G4189 wickedness G575 from G4561 your flesh! G1473 G3754 for G3588 G3503 youth G2532 and G3588 G454 thoughtlessness G3153 are folly.

1 H7971 [H8761] Cast H3899 thy bread H6440 upon H4325 the waters: H4672 [H8799] for thou shalt find H7230 it after many H3117 days.

2 H5414 [H8798] Give H2506 a portion H7651 to seven, H8083 and also to eight; H3045 [H8799] for thou knowest H7451 not what evil H776 shall be upon the earth.

3 H5645 If the clouds H4390 [H8735] are full H1653 of rain, H7324 [H8686] they empty H776 themselves upon the earth: H6086 and if the tree H5307 [H8799] falleth H1864 toward the south, H6828 or toward the north, H4725 in the place H6086 where the tree H5307 [H8799] falleth, H1933 [H8799] there it shall be.

6 H1242 In the morning H2232 [H8798] sow H2233 thy seed, H6153 and in the evening H3240 [H8686] withhold H3027 not thine hand: H3045 [H8802] for thou knowest H335 not which H3787 [H8799] shall prosper, H8147 either this or that, or whether they both H259 shall be alike H2896 good.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Send forth thy bread upon the face of the water: for thou shalt find it after many days. ² Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth. ³ If the clouds be filled with rain, they pour it out upon the earth: and if a tree fall southward, or if it fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall be. ⁴ He that observes the wind sows not; and he that looks at the clouds will not reap. ⁵ Among whom none knows what is the way of the wind: as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman, so thou shalt not know the works of God, even all things whatsoever he shall do. ⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thine hand be slack: for thou knowest not what sort shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both shall be good alike. ⁷ Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun. ⁸ For even if a man should live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hidh bukën tënde mbi ujërat, sepse pas shumë kohe do ta gjesh përsëri. ² Jepu pjesë shtatë, madje edhe tetë vetave, sepse ti nuk e di se çfarë fatkeqësie mund të të ndodhë mbi tokë. ³ Në rast se retë janë plot me shi, e derdhin mbi tokë; dhe në rast se një dru bie në jug apo në veri, ai mbetet aty ku bie. ⁴ Kush e ka mendjen te era nuk ka për të mbjellë dhe kush rri e shikon retë nuk ka për të korrur. ⁵ Ashtu si ti nuk njeh rrugën e erës dhe mënyrën si formohen kockat në barkun e gruas me barrë, kështu ti nuk e njeh veprën e Perëndisë që bën gjithçka. ⁶ Mbille farën tënde në mëngjes dhe në mbrëmje mos lër dorën tënde të pushojë, sepse ti nuk e di se cili nga të dy do të dalë më mirë; ky apo ai, apo do të jenë të mirë që të dy. ⁷ Drita është e ëmbël dhe është diçka e këndshme për sytë që shohin diellin. ⁸ Edhe kur një njeri të jetojë shumë vjet, le t'i gëzojë të gjitha, por le të mendojë edhe për ditët e territ që do të jenë të shumta; të gjitha ato që do të ndodhin janë kotësi. ⁹ Gëzohu, pra, o i ri, në rininë tënde, le të gëzohet zemra jote në ditët e rinisë sate; ndiq edhe rrugët e zemrës sate dhe pamjen e syve të tu, por dije që për të gjitha këto gjëra Perëndia do të të thërrasë në gjyq. ¹⁰ Elimino nga zemra jote trishtimin, dhe largo nga trupi yt dhembjen, sepse rinia dhe mituria janë kotësi.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Отпускай хлеб твой по водам, потому что по прошествии многих дней опять найдешь его. ² Давай часть семи и даже восьми, потому что не знаешь, какая бедабудет на земле. ³ Когда облака будут полны, то они прольют на землю дождь; и если упадет дерево на юг или на север, то оно там и останется, куда упадет. ⁴ Кто наблюдает ветер, тому не сеять; и кто смотрит на облака, томуне жать. ⁵ Как ты не знаешь путей ветра и того, как образуются кости во чреве беременной, так не можешь знать дело Бога, Который делает все. ⁶ Утром сей семя твое, и вечером не давай отдыха руке твоей, потому что ты не знаешь, то или другое будет удачнее, или то и другое равно хорошо будет. ⁷ Сладок свет, и приятно для глаз видеть солнце. ⁸ Если человек проживет и много лет, то пусть веселится он впродолжение всех их, и пусть помнит о днях темных, которых будет много: все, что будет, – суета! ⁹ Веселись, юноша, в юности твоей, и да вкушает сердце твое радости во дни юности твоей, и ходи по путям сердца твоего и по видению очей твоих; только знай, что за все это Бог приведет тебя на суд. ¹⁰ И удаляй печаль от сердца твоего, и уклоняй злое от тела твоего,потому что детство и юность - суета.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ارم خبزك على وجه المياه فانك تجده بعد ايام كثيرة. ² اعط نصيبا لسبعة ولثمانية ايضا لانك لست تعلم اي شر يكون على الارض. ³ اذا امتلأت السحب مطرا تريقه على الارض. واذا وقعت الشجرة نحو الجنوب او نحو الشمال ففي الموضع حيث تقع الشجرة هناك تكون. ⁴ من يرصد الريح لا يزرع ومن يراقب السحب لا يحصد. ⁵ كما انك لست تعلم ما هي طريق الريح ولا كيف العظام في بطن الحبلى كذلك لا تعلم اعمال الله الذي يصنع الجميع. ⁶ في الصباح ازرع زرعك وفي المساء لا ترخ يدك لانك لا تعلم ايهما ينمو هذا او ذاك او ان يكون كلاهما جيدين سواء ⁷ النور حلو وخير للعينين ان تنظرا الشمس. ⁸ لانه ان عاش الانسان سنين كثيرة فليفرح فيها كلها وليتذكر ايام الظلمة لانها تكون كثيرة. كل ما ياتي باطل. ⁹ افرح ايها الشاب في حداثتك وليسرّك قلبك في ايام شبابك واسلك في طرق قلبك وبمرأى عينيك واعلم انه على هذه الأمور كلها يأتي بك الله الى الدينونة. ¹⁰ فانزع الغم من قلبك وابعد الشر عن لحمك لان الحداثة والشباب باطلان

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Хвърли хляба си по водата, защото след много дни ще го намериш. ² Дай дял на седмина и още на осмина, защото не знаеш какво зло ще бъде на земята. ³ Ако облаците са пълни, изливат дъжд на земята; и ако дърво падне на юг или на север, на мястото, където дървото падне, там си остава. ⁴ Който се взира във вятъра, няма да сее и който гледа на облаците, няма да жъне. ⁵ Както не знаеш пътя на вятъра и както не знаеш как духът влиза в костите на утробата на бременната, така не знаеш и действието на Бога, който прави всичко. ⁶ Сей семето си сутрин и вечер не въздържай ръката си, защото не знаеш кое ще успее — това или онова, или и двете ще са еднакво добри. ⁷ И светлината е сладка, и е добро за очите да виждат слънцето, ⁸ но дори човек да живее много години и да се весели през всички тях, нека си спомня дните на тъмнината, защото ще бъдат много. Всичко, което идва, е суета. ⁹ Весели се, младежо, в младостта си и нека сърцето ти се радва в дните на младостта ти. Ходи в пътищата на сърцето си и в това, което гледат очите ти, но знай, че за всичко това Бог ще те доведе на съд. ¹⁰ Затова отмахни от сърцето си печалта и отдалечи злото от плътта си — защото младостта и черните коси са суета.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Baci kruh svoj na vodu i naći ćeš ga poslije mnogo vremena. ² Podijeli sedmorici ili osmorici, jer ne znaš kakvo će zlo zadesiti zemlju. ³ Kad se oblaci napune kišom, prosiplju je na zemlju, a padne li drvo na jug ili na sjever, svejedno: gdje padne, ondje i ostaje. ⁴ Tko pazi na vjetar, ne sije, i tko gleda na oblake, ne žanje. ⁵ Kao što ne znaš koji je put vjetru ni kako postaju kosti u utrobi trudne žene, tako ne znaš ni djela Boga koji sve tvori. ⁶ Ujutro sij svoje sjeme, a navečer nek' ti ruka ne počiva. Jer ne znaš da li će biti bolje ovo ili ono, ili će oboje biti jednako dobro. ⁷ Ljupka je svjetlost i ugodno je očima vidjeti sunce. ⁸ Ali ako čovjek živi i mnogo godina, neka se uvijek veseli, a neka se sjeti da će tamnih dana biti mnogo. Ispraznost je sve što će doći. ⁹ Zato se raduj, mladiću, za svoje mladosti, i veseli se u danima svoga mladenaštva; idi putovima svoga srca i slijedi želje svojih očiju; ali znaj da će ti za sve to suditi Bog. ¹⁰ Ukloni dakle jad iz svoga srca i udalji bol od svojega tijela. Ali je isprazna i mladost i doba tamnih kosa.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pouštěj chléb svůj po vodě, nebo po mnohých dnech najdeš jej. ² Dej částku sedmi aneb i osmi, nebo nevíš, co zlého bude na zemi. ³ Když se naplňují oblakové, déšť na zem vydávají; a když padá dřevo na poledne aneb na půlnoci, na kteréž místo padá to dřevo, tu zůstává. ⁴ Kdo šetří větru, nebude síti; a kdo hledí na husté oblaky, nebude žíti. ⁵ Jakož ty nevíš, která jest cesta větru, a jak rostou kosti v životě těhotné, tak neznáš díla Božího, kterýž činí všecko. ⁶ Hned z jitra rozsívej símě své, a u večer nedávej odpočinutí ruce své; nebo ty nevíš, co jest lepšího, to-li či ono, čili obé jednostejně dobré jest. ⁷ Příjemnéť jest zajisté světlo, a milá věc očima viděti slunce; ⁸ A však, by mnoho let živ jsa člověk, ve všech těch veselil by se, tedy rozpomenul-li by se na dny temnosti, jak jich mnoho bude, cožkoli přeběhlo, počte za marnost. ⁹ Radujž se tedy, mládenče, v mladosti své, a nechť tě obveseluje srdce tvé ve dnech mladosti tvé, a choď po cestách srdce svého, a podlé žádosti očí svých, než věz, že tě s tím se vším přivede Bůh na soud. ¹⁰ Anobrž odejmi hněv od srdce svého, a odvrať zlost od těla svého; nebo dětinství a mladost jest marnost.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kast dit Brød paa Vandet; thi efter. ² Del ud til syv, ja, og til otte; thi du kan ikke vide; hvad for Ulykke der skal ske paa Jorden. ³ Naar Skyerne ere fulde af Regn udgyde de den paa Jorden; og naar et Træ falder imod Sønden eller og imod Norden, paa hvilket Sted Træet vil falde, der falder det. ⁴ Hvo som agter paa Vejr, saar ikke, og hvo som ser paa. Skyerne høster ikke. ⁵ Ligesom du ikke ved, hvilken Vindens Vej er, saa lidet som du ved, hvorledes Benene dannes i den frugtsommeliges Liv, saaledes kan du heller ikke vide Guds Gerning, hvorledes holl gør det alt sammen. ⁶ Saa din Sæd om Morgenen, og lad din Haand ikke hvile om Aftenen; thi du ved ikke, enten dette eller hint skal lykkes, eller om de lægge skulle blive lige gode. ⁷ Og Sødt er Lyset, og lysteligt er det for Øjnene at se Solen. ⁸ Thi lever Mennesket endog mange Aar, skal han glæde sig i dem alle og komme de mørke Dage i Hu; thi de alle blive mange; alt det, der kommer, er Forfængelighed. ⁹ Glæd dig, du unge! i din Ungdom, og lad dit Hjerte være vel til Mode i din Ungdoms Dage, og vandre efter dit Hjertes Veje og efter dine Øjnes Syn; men vid, at for alt dette skal Gud føre dig for Dommen. ¹⁰ Og bortfjern Græmmelse fra dit Hjerte, og lad Lidelser gaa bort fra dit Kød; thi Ungdom og Livets Morgenrøde ere Forfængelighed.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 當將你的糧食撒在水面，因為日久必能得著。 ² 你要分給七人，或分給八人，因為你不知道將來有甚麼災禍臨到地上。 ³ 雲若滿了雨，就必傾倒在地上。樹若向南倒，或向北倒，樹倒在何處，就存在何處。 ⁴ 看風的，必不撒種；望雲的，必不收割。 ⁵ 風從何道來，骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成，你尚且不得知道；這樣，行萬事之　神的作為，你更不得知道。 ⁶ 早晨要撒你的種，晚上也不要歇你的手，因為你不知道哪一樣發旺；或是早撒的，或是晚撒的，或是兩樣都好。 ⁷ 光本是佳美的，眼見日光也是可悅的。 ⁸ 人活多年，就當快樂多年；然而也當想到黑暗的日子。因為這日子必多，所要來的都是虛空。 ⁹ 少年人哪，你在幼年時當快樂。在幼年的日子，使你的心歡暢，行你心所願行的，看你眼所愛看的；卻要知道，為這一切的事，　神必審問你。 ¹⁰ 所以，你當從心中除掉愁煩，從肉體克去邪惡；因為一生的開端和幼年之時，都是虛空的。

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Vesd a te kenyeredet a víz színére, mert sok nap mulva megtalálod azt. ² Adj részt hétnek vagy nyolcznak is; mert nem tudod, micsoda veszedelem következik a földre. ³ Mikor a sûrû fellegek megtelnek, esõt adnak a földre; és ha leesik a fa délre vagy északra, a mely helyre leesik a fa, ott marad. ⁴ A ki a szelet nézi, nem vet az; és a ki sûrû fellegre néz, nem arat. ⁵ Miképen hogy nem tudod, melyik a szélnek útja, és miképen vannak a csontok a terhes asszony méhében; azonképen nem tudod az Istennek dolgát, a ki mindeneket cselekszik. ⁶ Reggel vesd el a te magodat, és este se pihentesd kezedet; mert nem tudod, melyik jobb, ez-é vagy amaz, vagy ha mind a kettõ jó lesz egyszersmind. ⁷ Valóban, édes a világosság és jó a mi szemeinkkel néznünk a napot. ⁸ Mert ha sok esztendeig él is az ember, mindazokban örvendezzen; és megemlékezzék a setétségnek napjairól, mert az sok lesz. Valami eljövendõ, mind hiábavalóság. ⁹ ¹⁰

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tanamlah uangmu dalam usaha di luar negeri. Pasti kaudapat untung di kemudian hari. ² Tanamlah modalmu di berbagai niaga; carilah usaha sebanyak-banyaknya. Sebab orang perlu waspada, sebelum musibah menimpa. ³ Ke arah mana pun pohon itu rubuh, tetap akan terbaring di tempat ia jatuh. Bila awan mengandung air hingga sarat, hujan pun turun ke bumi dengan lebat. ⁴ Siapa menunggu sampai angin dan cuaca sempurna, tak akan menanam dan tidak pula memetik hasilnya. ⁵ Allah membuat segala-galanya, dan manusia tak dapat memahami tindakan-Nya; begitu pula ia tak mengerti tumbuhnya kehidupan baru di dalam kandungan seorang ibu. ⁶ Taburlah benihmu di waktu pagi dan janganlah berhenti di malam hari. Sebab kita tak tahu taburan mana yang baik tumbuhnya. Barangkali juga keduanya tumbuh dengan sempurna. ⁷ Sinar matahari membuat bahagia; alangkah senangnya bila dapat menikmatinya. ⁸ Hendaklah engkau bersyukur kalau bertambah umur. Tapi ingat, biar engkau hidup lama di bumi, masamu di alam maut masih lebih lama lagi. Jadi, apa yang mau diharapkan pula? Semuanya percuma dan sia-sia. ⁹ Nikmatilah masa mudamu, hai pemuda! Bergembiralah selama engkau masih remaja. Penuhilah segala hasrat jiwamu, laksanakanlah semua niat hatimu. Tetapi ingat, Allah yang ada di surga, kelak mengadili tindakanmu semua. ¹⁰ Usirlah khawatir dan susah dari hatimu, sebab masa mudamu cepat berlalu.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ GITTA il tuo pane sopra le acque; perciocchè tu lo ritroverai lungo tempo appresso. ² Fanne parte a sette, anzi ad otto; perciocchè tu non sai qual male avverrà sopra la terra. ³ Quando le nuvole son piene, versano la pioggia in su la terra; e quando l’albero cade, o verso il Mezzodì, o verso il Settentrione, ove egli cade quivi resta. ⁴ Chi pon mente al vento non seminerà; e chi riguarda alle nuvole non mieterà. ⁵ Come tu non sai qual sia la via del vento, nè come si formino l’ossa dentro al seno della donna gravida; così tu non conosci le opere di Dio, il qual fa tutte queste cose. ⁶ Semina la mattina la tua semenza, e la sera non lasciar posar le tue mani; perciocchè tu non sai ciò che riuscirà meglio, questo, o quello; o se l’uno e l’altro sarà ugualmente buono. ⁷ Ben è la luce cosa dolce, e il vedere il sole cosa piacevole agli occhi. ⁸ Ma pure, se l’uomo, vivendo molti anni sempre in allegrezza, si ricorda che i giorni delle tenebre saranno molti, tutto quello che gli sarà avvenuto sarà vanità. ⁹ (H12-1) RALLEGRATI pure, o giovane, nella tua fanciullezza; e tengati lieto il cuor tuo a’ dì della tua giovinezza, e cammina nelle vie del cuor tuo, e secondo lo sguardo degli occhi tuoi; ma sappi che per tutte queste cose Iddio ti farà venire in giudicio. ¹⁰ (H12-2) E togli dal cuor tuo la tristizia, e rimuovi il cordoglio dalla tua carne; perciocchè la fanciullezza e la giovanezza sono una cosa vana.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Getta il tuo pane sulle acque, perché dopo molto tempo tu lo ritroverai. ² Fanne parte a sette, ed anche a otto, perché tu non sai che male può avvenire sulla terra. ³ Quando le nuvole son piene di pioggia, la riversano sulla terra; e se un albero cade verso il sud o verso il nord, dove cade, quivi resta. ⁴ Chi bada al vento non seminerà; chi guarda alle nuvole non mieterà. ⁵ Come tu non conosci la via del vento, né come si formino le ossa in seno alla donna incinta, così non conosci l’opera di Dio, che fa tutto. ⁶ Fin dal mattino semina la tua semenza, e la sera non dar posa alle tue mani; poiché tu non sai quale dei due lavori riuscirà meglio: se questo o quello, o se ambedue saranno ugualmente buoni. ⁷ La luce è dolce, ed è cosa piacevole agli occhi vedere il sole. ⁸ Se dunque un uomo vive molti anni, si rallegri tutti questi anni, e pensi ai giorni delle tenebre, che saran molti; tutto quello che avverrà è vanità. ⁹ (H12-1) Rallegrati pure, o giovane, durante la tua adolescenza, e gioisca pure il cuor tuo durante i giorni della tua giovinezza; cammina pure nelle vie dove ti mena il cuore e seguendo gli sguardi degli occhi tuoi; ma sappi che, per tutte queste cose, Iddio ti chiamerà in giudizio! ¹⁰ (H12-2) Bandisci dal tuo cuore la tristezza, e allontana dalla tua carne la sofferenza; poiché la giovinezza e l’aurora sono vanità.

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 너는 네 식물을 물 위에 던지라 여러날 후에 도로 찾으리라 ² 일곱에게나 여덟에게 나눠줄지어다 무슨 재앙이 땅에 임할는지 네가 알지 못함이니라 ³ 구름에 비가 가득하면 땅에 쏟아지며 나무가 남으로나 북으로나 쓰러지면 그 쓰러진 곳에 그냥 있으리라 ⁴ 풍세를 살펴보는 자는 파종하지 아니할 것이요 구름을 바라보는 자는 거두지 아니하리라 ⁵ 바람의 길이 어떠함과 아이 밴 자의 태에서 뼈가 어떻게 자라는 것을 네가 알지 못함같이 만사를 성취하시는 하나님의 일을 네가 알지 못하느니라 ⁶ 너는 아침에 씨를 뿌리고 저녁에도 손을 거두지 말라 이것이 잘 될는지,저것이 잘 될는지, 혹 둘이 다 잘 될는지 알지 못함이니라 ⁷ 빛은 실로 아름다운 것이라 눈으로 해를 보는 것이 즐거운 일이로다 ⁸ 사람이 여러 해를 살면 항상 즐거워할지로다 그러나 캄캄한 날이 많으리니 그 날을 생각할지로다 장래 일은 다 헛되도다 ⁹ 청년이여 네 어린 때를 즐거워 하며 네 청년의 날을 마음에 기뻐하여 마음에 원하는 길과 네 눈이 보는대로 좇아 행하라 그러나 하나님이 이 모든 일로 인하여 너를 심판하실 줄 알라 ¹⁰ 그런즉 근심으로 네 마음에서 떠나게 하며 악으로 네 몸에서 물러가게 하라 어릴 때와 청년의 때가 다 헛되니라

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mesk savo duoną ant vandens, nes tu ją rasi po daugelio dienų. ² Padalyk ją į septynias ar aštuonias dalis, nes nežinai, kokia nelaimė gali įvykti žemėje. ³ Kai debesys pilni, jie duoda žemei lietaus. Kokia kryptimi medis griūva, taip jis ir guli. ⁴ Kas žiūri vėjonesėja, kas stebi debesisnepjauna. ⁵ Kaip nežinai dvasios kelių ir kūdikio kaulų augimo įsčiose, taip nežinai ir darbų Dievo, kuris viską sukūrė. ⁶ Sėk sėklą rytą ir vakare, nes nežinai, kuri geriau užderės; o gal abi bus vienodai geros. ⁷ Šviesa yra maloni, akys mėgsta saulę. ⁸ Kiek ilgai žmogus begyventų, tegul džiaugiasi visą laiką ir nepamiršta, kad tamsių dienų bus daugybė. Visa, kas bus, yra tuštybė. ⁹ Jaunuoli, džiaukis savo jaunyste! Tegul tavo širdis džiugina tave ir eik, kur tavo širdis traukia ir kur akys mato, bet žinok, kad už viską turėsi atsiskaityti prieš Dievą. ¹⁰ Nesirūpink, atitolink pikta nuo savo kūno, nes vaikystė ir jaunystė yra tuštybė.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Puszczaj chleb twój po wodzie; bo po wielu dniach znajdziesz go. ² Daj cząstkę siedmiom albo ośmiom; bo nie wiesz, co złego będzie na ziemi. ³ Gdy się napełniają obłoki, deszcz na ziemię wypuszcają; a gdy upada drzewo na południe, albo na północy, na któremkolwiek miejscu upadnie to drzewo, tam zostanie. ⁴ Kto upatruje wiatr, nigdy nie będzie siał; a kto się przypatruje obłokom, nie będzie żął. ⁵ Jako ty nie wiesz, która jest droga wiatru, i jako się zrastają kości w żywocie brzemiennej: tak nie wiesz sprawy Bożej, który wszystko czyni. ⁶ Poranu siej nasienie twoje, a w wieczór nie dawaj odpoczynku ręce twojej, gdyż ty nie wiesz, co jest lepszego, toli, czy owo, czyli też oboje jednako dobre. ⁷ Zaprawdę wdzięczna jest światłość, i miła rzecz oczom widzieć słońce. ⁸ A wszakże, choćby przez wiele lat żyw był człowiek, a przez te wszystkie weseliłby się, tedy przywiódłszy sobie na pamięć dni ciemności, jako ich wiele będzie, cokolwiek przeszło, uzna być marnością. ⁹ Przetoż wesel się, młodzieńcze! w młodości twojej, a niech używa dobrej myśli serce twoje za dni młodości twojej, a chodź drogami serca twego, i według zdania oczu twoich; ale wiedz, że cię dla tego wszystkiego Bóg na sąd przywiedzie. ¹⁰ A tak oddal gniew od serca twego, i odrzuć złość od ciała twego, gdyż dzieciństwo i młodość są marnością.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lança o teu pão sobre as águas, porque depois de muitos dias o acharás. ² Reparte com sete, e ainda até com oito; porque não sabes que mal haverá sobre a terra. ³ Estando as nuvens cheias de chuva, derramam-na sobre a terra. Caindo a árvore para o sul, ou para o norte, no lugar em que a árvore cair, ali ficará. ⁴ Quem observa o vento, não semeará, e o que atenta para as nuvens não segará. ⁵ Assim como tu não sabes qual o caminho do vento, nem como se formam os ossos no ventre da que está grávida, assim também não sabes as obras de Deus, que faz todas as coisas. ⁶ Pela manhã semeia a tua semente, e à tarde não retenhas a tua mão; pois tu não sabes qual das duas prosperará, se esta, se aquela, ou se ambas serão, igualmente boas. ⁷ Doce é a luz, e agradável é aos olhos ver o sol. ⁸ Se, pois, o homem viver muitos anos, regozije-se em todos eles; contudo lembre-se dos dias das trevas, porque hão de ser muitos. Tudo quanto sucede é vaidade. ⁹ Alegra-te, mancebo, na tua mocidade, e anime-te o teu coração nos dias da tua mocidade, e anda pelos caminhos do teu coração, e pela vista dos teus olhos; sabe, porém, que por todas estas coisas Deus te trará a juízo. ¹⁰ Afasta, pois, do teu coração o desgosto, remove da tua carne o mal; porque a mocidade e a aurora da vida são vaidade.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Send ditt brød bort over vannet; for i tidens løp skal du finne det igjen. ² Del ut til syv, ja til åtte; for du vet ikke hvad ulykke som kan hende på jorden. ³ Når skyene blir fulle av regn, tømmer de det ut over jorden, og når et tre faller, enten det er mot syd eller mot nord, så blir treet liggende på det sted hvor det falt. ⁴ Den som stadig akter på vinden, kommer ikke til å så, og den som stadig ser på skyene, kommer ikke til å høste. ⁵ Like så lite som du vet hvad vei vinden farer, eller hvorledes benene dannes i den fruktsommelige kvinnes liv, like så lite vet du hvad Gud vil gjøre, han som gjør det alt sammen. ⁶ Så din sæd om morgenen, og la ikke din hånd hvile når det lider mot aftenen; for du vet ikke hvad som vil lykkes, det ene eller det andre, eller om begge deler er gode. ⁷ Lyset er liflig, og det er godt for øinene å få se solen. ⁸ For om et menneske lever mange år, skal han glede sig i dem alle og komme mørkets dager i hu; for de blir mange. Alt som skal komme, er tomhet. ⁹ Gled dig, du unge, i din ungdom og la ditt hjerte være vel til mote i din ungdoms dager og vandre på ditt hjertes veier og efter det dine øine ser! Men vit at for alt dette vil Gud føre dig frem for dommen. ¹⁰ La gremmelse vike fra ditt hjerte og hold alt ondt borte fra ditt legeme! For ungdom og morgenrøde er tomhet.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aruncă-ţi pînea pe ape, şi după multă vreme o vei găsi iarăş! ² Împarte -o în şapte şi chiar în opt, căci nu ştii ce nenorocire poate da peste pămînt. ³ Cînd se umplu norii de ploaie, o varsă pe pămînt. Ori încotro ar cădea copacul, fie spre miazăzi, fie spre miazănoapte, în locul unde cade, acolo rămîne. ⁴ Cine se uită după vînt, nu va sămăna, şi cine se uită după nori, nu va secera. ⁵ Cum nu ştii care este calea vîntului, nici cum se fac oasele în pîntecele femeii însărcinate, tot aşa nu cunoşti nici lucrarea lui Dumnezeu, care le face pe toate. ⁶ Dimineaţa, samănă-ţi sămînţa, şi pînă seara nu lăsa mîna să ţi se odihnească, fiindcă nu ştii ce va izbuti, aceasta sau aceea, sau dacă amîndouă sînt deopotrivă de bune. ⁷ Dulce este lumina şi o plăcere pentru ochi să vadă soarele. ⁸ Deci, dacă un om trăieşte mulţi ani, să se bucure, în toţi anii aceştia, şi să se gîndească ce multe vor fi zilele de întunerec. Tot ce va veni este deşertăciune. ⁹ Bucură-te, tinere, în tinereţea ta, fii cu inima veselă cît eşti tînăr, umblă pe căile alese de inima ta şi plăcute ochilor tăi; dar să ştii că pentru toate acestea te va chema Dumnezeu la judecată. ¹⁰ Goneşte orice necaz din inima ta, şi depărtează răul din trupul tău; căci tinereţa şi zorile vieţii sînt trecătoare.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Хліб свій пускай по воді, бо по багатьох днях знов знайдеш його. ² Давай частку на сім чи й на вісім, бо не знаєш, яке буде зло на землі. ³ Коли переповняться хмари дощем, то виллють на землю його. А коли деревина на південь впаде чи на північ, залишиться на місці, куди деревина впаде. ⁴ Хто вважає на вітер, не буде той сіяти, а хто споглядає на хмари, не буде той жати. ⁵ Як не відаєш ти, яка то путь вітру, як кості зростають в утробі вагітної, так не відаєш ти чину Бога, що робить усе. ⁶ Сій ранком насіння своє, та й під вечір хай не спочиває рука твоя, не знаєш бо ти, котре вийде на краще тобі, оце чи оте, чи обоє однаково добрі. ⁷ І світло солодке, і добре очам сонце бачити, ⁸ і коли б людина жила й довгі роки, хай за всіх їх вона тішиться, і хай пам'ятає дні темряви, бо їх буде багато, усе, що надійде, марнота! ⁹ Тішся, юначе, своїм молодецтвом, а серце твоє нехай буде веселе за днів молодощів твоїх! І ходи ти дорогами серця свого й видінням очей своїх, але знай, що за все це впровадить тебе Бог до суду! ¹⁰ Тому жени смуток від серця свого, і віддаляй зле від тіла твого, бо й дитинство, і рання життєва зоря то марнота!
