Ecclesiastes 2:13-16 And I beheld that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly; as the advantage of the light over the darkness.

ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

13 G2532 And G1492 I beheld G1473 G3754 that G1510.2.3 there is G4050 an advantage G3588 to G4678 wisdom G5228 over G3588 G877 folly; G5613 as G4050 the advantage G3588 of the G5457 light G5228 over G3588 the G4655 darkness.

14 G3588 The G4680 wise man -- G3588 G3788 his eyes G1473 G1722 are in G2776 his head; G1473 G2532 but G3588 the G878 fool G1722 [²in G4655 ³darkness G4198 ¹goes]. G2532 And G1097 I knew, G2532 even G1065 indeed G1473 I, G3754 that G4876.2 [²event G1520 ¹one] G4876 shall meet with G3588 G3956 all G1473 them.

15 G2532 And G2036 I said G1473 G1722 in G2588 my heart, G1473 G5613 As G4876.2 the event G3588 of the G878 fool is, G2532 even G1065 indeed G1473 to me G4876 it shall meet up with G1473 me; G2532 and G2444 why G4679 have I discerned wisdom? G1473 G3588 And this extra G4053 G2980 I said G1722 in G2588 my heart, G1473 G1360 because G878 the fool G1537 from out of G4051 abundance G2980 speaks, G3754 for G2532 even G1065 indeed G3778 this G3153 is folly.

16 G3754 For G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G3420 remembrance G3588 of the G4680 wise man G3326 with G3588 the G878 fool G1519 in G3588 the G165 eon; G2530 in so far as G2235 already G3588 the G2250 [²days G3588 G2064 ¹coming] G3588 G3956 all things G1950 are forgotten; G2532 and G4459 how G599 shall [³die G3588 ¹the G4680 ²wise man] G3326 with G3588 the G878 fool?

13 H7200 [H8804] Then I saw H3426 that H2451 wisdom H3504 excelleth H5531 folly, H216 as far as light H3504 excelleth H2822 darkness.

14 H2450 The wise man's H5869 eyes H7218 are in his head; H3684 but the fool H1980 [H8802] walketh H2822 in darkness: H3045 [H8804] and I myself perceived H259 also that one H4745 event H7136 [H8799] happeneth to them all.

15 H227 Then H559 [H8804] said H3820 I in my heart, H4745 As it happeneth H3684 to the fool, H7136 [H8799] so it happeneth H1571 even to me; H3148 and why was I then more H2449 [H8804] wise? H1696 [H8765] Then I said H3820 in my heart, H1892 that this also is vanity.

16 H2146 For there is no remembrance H2450 of the wise H5973 more than H3684 of the fool H5769 to the age; H3528 seeing that which now H3117 is in the days H935 [H8802] to come H7911 [H8738] shall all be forgotten. H4191 [H8799] And how dieth H2450 the wise H3684 man? as the fool.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Et vidi quod tantum præcederet sapientia stultitiam, quantum differt lux a tenebris. ¹⁴ Sapientis oculi in capite ejus; stultus in tenebris ambulat: et didici quod unus utriusque esset interitus. ¹⁵ Et dixi in corde meo: Si unus et stulti et meus occasus erit, quid mihi prodest quod majorem sapientiæ dedi operam? Locutusque cum mente mea, animadverti quod hoc quoque esset vanitas. ¹⁶ Non enim erit memoria sapientis similiter ut stulti in perpetuum, et futura tempora oblivione cuncta pariter operient: moritur doctus similiter ut indoctus.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And Y siy, that wisdom yede so mych bifor foli, as miche as liyt is dyuerse fro derknessis. ¹⁴ The iyen of a wijs man ben in his heed, a fool goith in derknessis; and Y lernede, that o perisching was of euer either. ¹⁵ And Y seide in myn herte, If o deth schal be bothe of the fool and of me, what profitith it to me, that Y yaf more bisynesse to wisdom? And Y spak with my soule, and perseyuede, that this also was vanyte. ¹⁶ For mynde of a wijs man schal not be, in lijk maner as nether of a fool with outen ende, and tymes to comynge schulen hile alle thingis togidere with foryetyng; a lerned man dieth in lijk maner and an vnlerned man.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ and I sawe, that wy?dome excelleth foolishnesse, as farre as light doth darknesse. ¹⁴ For a wyse man beareth his eyes aboute in his heade, but the foole goeth in the darknesse. I perceaued also that they both had one ende. ¹⁵ Then thought I in my mynde: Yf it happen vnto the foole as it doth vnto me, what nedeth me then to laboure eny more for wy?dome? So I confessed within my harte, that this also was but vanite. ¹⁶ For the wyse are euer as litle in remembraunce as the foolish, and all the dayes for to come shalbe forgotten, yee the wyse man dyeth as well as ye foole.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw that wisdom excelleth foolishness, as far as light doth darkness. ¹⁴ For a wise man beareth his eyes about in his head, but the fool goeth in the darkness. I perceived also that they both had one end. ¹⁵ Then thought I in my mind, "If it happeneth unto the fool as it doth unto me, what needeth me then to labour any more for wisdom?" So I confessed within my heart, that this also was but vanity. ¹⁶ For the wise are ever as little in remembrance as the foolish, and all the days for to come shall be forgotten, yea the wise man dieth as well as the fool.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ and I saw that wysdome excelleth folishnesse, as farre as lyght doth darcknesse. ¹⁴ For a wyse man beareth his eyes about in his head, but the foole goth in the darcknesse. I perceaued also that they both had one end. ¹⁵ Then thought I in my mynde: If it happen vnto the foole as it doeth vnto me, what nedeth, me then to laboure anye more for wysdome? So I confessed wythin my herte, that thys also was but vanitye. ¹⁶ For the wyse are euer as lytle in remembraunce as the folish, and al the daies for to come shalbe forgotten, yea the wyse man dyeth as well as the fole.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ and I sawe: that wysdome excelleth foolishnesse, as farre as light doth darcknesse. ¹⁴ For a wyse man hath his eyes in his head, but the foole goeth in the darkenesse: I perceaued also, that they both had one ende. ¹⁵ Then thought I in my mynde, If it happen vnto the foole as it doth vnto me, what nedeth me then to labour eny more for wisdome? So I confessed within my hert, that this also was but vanite. ¹⁶ For the wyse are euer as lytle in remembraunce as the folish, for the dayes shal come when all shal be forgotten, yee the wise man dieth as well as the foole.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then I saw that there is profite in wisdome, more then in follie: as the light is more excellent then darkenes. ¹⁴ For the wise mans eyes are in his head, but the foole walketh in darknes: yet I know also that the same condition falleth to them all. ¹⁵ Then I thought in mine heart, It befalleth vnto me, as it befalleth to ye foole. Why therefore doe I then labour to be more wise? And I sayd in mine heart, that this also is vanitie. ¹⁶ For there shalbe no remembrance of the wise, nor of the foole for euer: for that that now is, in the dayes to come shall all be forgotten. And howe dyeth the wise man, as doeth the foole?

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I sawe that wisdome excelleth foolishnesse, as farre as light doth darknesse ¹⁴ For a wise man hath his eyes in his head, but the foole goeth in darknesse: I perceaued also that they both had one ende ¹⁵ Then thought I in my mynde, yf it happen vnto the foole as it doth vnto me, what needeth me then to labour any more for wisdome? So I confessed within my heart that this also was but vanitie ¹⁶ For the wise are euer as litle in remembraunce as the foolishe: for the dayes shall come when all shalbe forgotten: yea the wise man dyeth as well as the foole

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw that wisdom excelled folly, as much as light differeth from darkness. ¹⁴ The eyes of a wise man are in his head: the fool walketh in darkness: and I learned that they were to die both alike. ¹⁵ And I said in my heart: If the death of the fool and mine shall be one, what doth it avail me, that I have applied myself more to the study of wisdom? And speaking with my own mind, I perceived that this also was vanity. ¹⁶ For there shall be no remembrance of the wise no more than of the fool forever, and the times to come shall cover all things together with oblivion: the learned dieth in like manner as the unlearned.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. ¹⁵ Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

KJV_Cambridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. ¹⁵ Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ I saw indeed that there is an advantage in wisdom above folly, like the advantage of light above darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness. Nevertheless I knew that one event will happen to them all. ¹⁵ Therefore I said in my heart, As the same event will happen to me as happeneth to the fool, why have I studied wisdom? Why communed abundantly with my heart? Because even this is vanity; [since out of an abundance the fool speaketh] ¹⁶ because there is no remembrance forever of the wise man more than of the fool [seeing the days are now coming when all shall be for gotten and the wise must die as well as the fool]

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. ¹⁵ Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten.

13 H7200 [H8804] Then I saw H3426 that H2451 wisdom H3504 excelleth H5531 folly H216 , as far as light H3504 excelleth H2822 darkness.

14 H2450 The wise man's H5869 eyes H7218 are in his head H3684 ; but the fool H1980 [H8802] walketh H2822 in darkness H3045 [H8804] : and I myself perceived H259 also that one H4745 event H7136 [H8799] happeneth to them all.

15 H227 Then H559 [H8804] said H3820 I in my heart H4745 , As it happeneth H3684 to the fool H7136 [H8799] , so it happeneth H1571 even to me H3148 ; and why was I then more H2449 [H8804] wise H1696 [H8765] ? Then I said H3820 in my heart H1892 , that this also is vanity.

16 H2146 For there is no remembrance H2450 of the wise H5973 more than H3684 of the fool H5769 for ever H3528 ; seeing that which now H3117 is in the days H935 [H8802] to come H7911 [H8738] shall all be forgotten H4191 [H8799] . And how dieth H2450 the wise H3684 man? as the fool.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all. ¹⁵ And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me: and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance. ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now in the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?

Brenton_Greek⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Καὶ εἶδον ἐγὼ ὅτι ἐστὶ περισσεία τῇ σοφίᾳ ὑπὲρ τὴν ἀφροσύνην, ὡς περισσεία τοῦ φωτὸς ὑπὲρ τὸ σκότος. ¹⁴ Τοῦ σοφοῦ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἄφρων ἐν σκότει πορεύεται· καὶ ἔγνων καί γε ἐγὼ, ὅτι συνάντημα ἓν συναντήσεται τοῖς πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς.
¹⁵ Καὶ εἶπα ἐγὼ ἐν καρδίᾳ μου, ὡς συνάντημα τοῦ ἄφρονος καί γε ἐμοὶ συναντήσεταί μοι, καὶ ἱνατί ἐσοφισάμην ἐγώ; περισσὸν ἐλάλησα ἐν καρδίᾳ μου, ὅτι καί γε τοῦτο ματαιότης, διότι ὁ ἄφρων ἐκ περισσεύματος λαλεῖ· ¹⁶ Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡ μνήμη τοῦ σοφοῦ μετὰ τοῦ ἄφρονος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καθότι ἤδη αἱ ἡμέραι ἐρχόμεναι τὰ πάντα ἐπελήσθη· καὶ πῶς ἀποθανεῖται ὁ σοφὸς μετὰ τοῦ ἄφρονος;

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ But I saw indeed that wisdom hath the advantage over folly, as great as the advantage of light over darkness. ¹⁴ The wise man hath his eyes in his head, while the fool walketh in darkness; but I myself perceived then also that one occurrence will befall all of them. ¹⁵ Then said I in my heart, The same that befalleth the fool will also befall even me: and why have I then been wiser? Then spoke I in my heart, that this is also vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no recollection of the wise any more than of the fool for ever: seeing that which hath long ago been will, in the days that are coming, all be forgotten. And how doth the wise die equally with the fool!

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness. ¹⁴ The wise! —his eyes are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all; ¹⁵ and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this is vanity: ¹⁶ That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw there is profit to wisdom more than to folly, as the excellence of the light above darkness. ¹⁴ The wise, his eyes in his head; and the foolish one goes in darkness: and I knew, I also, that one event will meet with them all. ¹⁵ And I said in my heart, As the event of the foolish one, also I, it will meet me; and wherefore then was I more wise?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then saw, I, that wisdom doth excel folly,––as far as light excelleth darkness. ¹⁴ As for the wise man, his eyes, are in his head, whereas, the dullard, in darkness, doth walk,––but, I myself, knew that, one destiny, happeneth to them, all. ¹⁵ Then said, I, in my heart, As it happeneth to the dullard, even to me, will it happen, but wherefore, then, became, I, wise to excess? Therefore spake I, in my heart, Even this, is vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of a wise man, more than of a dullard, unto times age–abiding,––seeing that, already, in the days to come, all hath been forgotten, how then cometh it that the wise man dieth equally with the dullard?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I saw there is more advantage for wisdom than for frivolity Just as there is more advantage for light than for darkness; ¹⁴ The wise man uses his eyes in his head, While the stupid man walks in darkness; Yet I realized indeed that the same destiny befalls them all." ¹⁵ So I said in my heart, Since the destiny of the stupid man is also mine, and it shall befall me, To what advantage then have I been wise? Hence I spoke in my heart, This too is vanity." ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise man or the stupid man for the eon; In the days which are already coming everyone is forgotten; Alas, the wise man dies along with the stupid one!"

Why then am I more enwisened? And I worded in my heart, that this also is vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no memorial of the wise more than of the fool eternally; that in the days to come, all is forgotten.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Et j’ai vu que la sagesse l’emporte sur la folie autant que la lumière sur les ténèbres. ¹⁴ Les yeux du sage sont à sa tête; l’insensé marche dans les ténèbres; et j’ai connu qu’une même fin adviendra à tous. ¹⁵ Et j’ai dit en mon cœur: La même fin adviendra à l’insensé et à moi-même; pourquoi donc ai-je acquis la sagesse? J’ai donc, en outre, dit en mon cœur: Cela aussi est vanité, puisque l’insensé parle aussi d’abondance. ¹⁶ Car dans les siècles on oubliera le sage, puisque les jours se succèdent, emportant le souvenir de toutes choses. Et pourquoi le sage meurt-il comme l’insensé?

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Et j'ai vu que la sagesse a un avantage sur la folie, comme la lumière a un avantage sur les ténèbres. ¹⁴ Le sage a ses yeux à sa tête, et le fou marche dans les ténèbres; mais j'ai connu, moi aussi, qu'un même sort les atteint tous. ¹⁵ Et j'ai dit en mon coeur: Le sort du fou m'atteint, moi aussi; et pourquoi alors ai-je été si sage? Et j'ai dit en mon coeur que cela aussi est vanité. ¹⁶ Car jamais on ne se souviendra du sage, non plus que du fou, puisque déjà dans les jours qui viennent tout est oublié. Et comment le sage meurt-il comme le fou?

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Et j'ai vu que la sagesse a beaucoup d'avantage sur la folie, comme la lumière a beaucoup d'avantage sur les ténèbres. ¹⁴ Le sage a ses yeux en sa tête, et le fou marche dans les ténèbres; mais j'ai aussi connu qu'un même accident leur arrive à tous. ¹⁵ C'est pourquoi j'ai dit en mon cœur : Il m'arrivera comme au fou; de quoi donc me servira-t-il alors d'avoir été plus sage ? C'est pourquoi j'ai dit en mon cœur, que cela aussi est une vanité. ¹⁶ Car on ne se souviendra pas du sage, non plus que du fou; parce que ce qui est maintenant, va être oublié dans les jours qui suivent; et comment le sage meurt-il de même que le fou ?

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Et j'ai vu que la sagesse a de l'avantage sur la folie, comme la lumière a de l'avantage sur les ténèbres; ¹⁴ le sage a ses yeux à la tête, et l'insensé marche dans les ténèbres. Mais j'ai reconnu aussi qu'ils ont l'un et l'autre un même sort. ¹⁵ Et j'ai dit en mon coeur: J'aurai le même sort que l'insensé; pourquoi donc ai-je été plus sage? Et j'ai dit en mon coeur que c'est encore là une vanité. ¹⁶ Car la mémoire du sage n'est pas plus éternelle que celle de l'insensé, puisque déjà les jours qui suivent, tout est oublié. Eh quoi! le sage meurt aussi bien que l'insensé!

16 H2146 Car la mémoire H2450 du sage H5973 n’est pas plus H5769 éternelle H3684 que celle de l’insensé H3528 , puisque déjà H3117 les jours H935 qui suivent H8802 H7911 , tout est oublié H8738 H2450 . Eh quoi ! le sage H4191 meurt H8799 H3684 aussi bien que l’insensé !

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Y he visto que la sabiduría sobrepasa a la locura, como la luz a las tinieblas. ¹⁴ El sabio tiene sus ojos en su cabeza, mas el loco anda en tinieblas. Y también entendí yo que un mismo suceso acaecerá al uno que al otro. ¹⁵ Entonces dije yo en mi corazón: Como sucederá al loco me sucederá también a mí. ¿Para qué pues he trabajado hasta ahora por hacerme más sabio? Y dije en mi corazón, que también esto era vanidad. ¹⁶ Porque ni del sabio ni del loco habrá memoria para siempre; pues en los días venideros ya todo será olvidado, y también morirá el sabio como el loco.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Pastaj kuptova që dituria ka një epërsi mbi budallallëkun, ashtu si drita ka një epërsi mbi errësirën. ¹⁴ I urti i ka sytë në kokë, kurse budallai ecën në errësirë; por kuptova gjithashtu që të dyve u është rezervuar i njëjti fat. ¹⁵ Kështu thashë në zemrën time: "Po ai fat që i takon budallait më takon edhe mua". Ç'përfitim ke se ke qenë më i urtë?". Prandaj thashë në zemrën time: "Edhe kjo është kotësi". ¹⁶ Nuk mbetet në fakt asnjë kujtim jetëgjatë si i njeriut të urtë ashtu edhe i njeriut budalla, sepse në ditët e ardhme gjithçka do të harrohet. Dhe ashtu si vdes budallai, në të njëjtën mënyrë vdes i urti.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ И увидел я, что преимущество мудрости перед глупостью такое же, как преимущество света перед тьмою: ¹⁴ у мудрого глаза его – в голове его, а глупый ходит во тьме; но узнал я, что одна участь постигает их всех. ¹⁵ И сказал я в сердце моем: „и меня постигнет та же участь, как и глупого: к чему же ясделался очень мудрым?" И сказал я в сердце моем, что иэто – суета; ¹⁶ потому что мудрого не будут помнить вечно, как и глупого; в грядущие дни все будет забыто, и увы! мудрый умирает наравне с глупым.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ فرأيت ان للحكمة منفعة اكثر من الجهل كما ان للنور منفعة اكثر من الظلمة. ¹⁴ الحكيم عيناه في راسه. اما الجاهل فيسلك في الظلام. وعرفت انا ايضا ان حادثة واحدة تحدث لكليهما. ¹⁵ فقلت في قلبي كما يحدث للجاهل كذلك يحدث ايضا لي انا. واذ ذاك فلماذا انا اوفر حكمة. فقلت في قلبي هذا ايضا باطل. ¹⁶ لانه ليس ذكر للحكيم ولا للجاهل الى الابد. كما منذ زمان كذا الايام الآتية الكل ينسى. وكيف يموت الحكيم. كالجاهل.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Тогава видях, че мъдростта превъзхожда безумието, както светлината превъзхожда тъмнината. ¹⁴ Очите на мъдрия са в главата му, а безумният ходи в тъмнина. Но познах също, че една участ ги постига всичките. ¹⁵ Тогава казах в сърцето си: Каквато е участта на безумния, това ще постигне и мен. Защо тогава станах аз толкова мъдър? Затова казах в сърцето си, че и това е суета. ¹⁶ Защото няма вечно спомен нито за мъдрия, нито за безумния, защото в идещите дни всичко ще бъде вече забравено. И как умира мъдрият? — Като безумния!

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ I spoznadoh da je bolja mudrost od ludosti, kao što je svjetlost bolja od tame. ¹⁴ Mudracu su oči u glavi, a bezumnik luta u tami. Ali također znam da obojicu stiže ista kob. ¹⁵ Zato rekoh u sebi: "Kakva je sudbina luđaku, takva je i meni. Čemu onda žudjeti za mudrošću?" I rekoh u srcu: "I to je ispraznost!" ¹⁶ Jer trajna spomena nema ni mudru ni bezumniku: obojicu će poslije nekog vremena prekriti zaborav! I, jao, mudrac mora umrijeti kao i bezumnik.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ I viděl jsem, že jest užitečnější moudrost než bláznovství, tak jako jest užitečnější světlo nežli temnost. ¹⁴ Moudrý má oči v hlavě své, blázen pak ve tmách chodí; a však poznal jsem, že jednostejné příhody všechněm se přiházejí. ¹⁵ Protož jsem řekl v srdci svém: Máliť mi se tak díti, jako se děje bláznu, pročež jsem tedy moudrostí předčil? A tak řekl jsem v srdci svém: I to jest marnost. ¹⁶ Nebo není památka moudrého jako i blázna na věky, proto že to, což nyní jest, ve dnech budoucích všecko v zapomenutí přichází, a že jakož umírá moudrý, tak i blázen.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Da saa jeg, at Visdom har For trin for Daarskab, som Lyset har Fortrin for Mørket. ¹⁴ Den vise har Øjne i sit Hoved, men Daaren vandrer i Mørket; og jeg fornam ogsaa, at hvad der hændes den ene, hændes dem alle. ¹⁵ Da sagde jeg i mit Hjerte: Som det hændes Daaren, saa vil det og hændes mig, og hvorfor har jeg da været saa oversættes viis? Og jeg sagde i mit Hjerte: Saadant er ogsaa Forfængelighed. ¹⁶ Thi hverken den vises eller Daarens Ihukommelse vil vare evindelig; efterdi det alt sammen i de kommende Dage forlængst vil være glemt; og mon ikke den vise dør lige saa vel som Daaren!

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ 我便看出智慧勝過愚昧，如同光明勝過黑暗。 ¹⁴ 智慧人的眼目光明（光明原文是在他頭上），愚昧人在黑暗裡行。我卻看明有一件事，這兩等人都必遇見。 ¹⁵ 我就心裡說：愚昧人所遇見的，我也必遇見，我為何更有智慧呢？我心裡說，這也是虛空。 ¹⁶ 智慧人和愚昧人一樣，永遠無人紀念，因為日後都被忘記；可歎智慧人死亡，與愚昧人無異。

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Azért fordulék én, hogy lássak bölcseséget és bolondságot és esztelenséget, az az hogy mit [cselekesz]nek az emberek, a kik a király után következnek: azt, a mit régen cselekedtek. ¹⁴ És látám, hogy hasznosb a bölcseség a bolondságnál, miképen hasznosb a világosság a setétségnél. ¹⁵ A bölcsnek szemei [vannak] a fejében; a bolond pedig setétben jár; de ugyan én megismerém, hogy ugyanazon egy végök lesz mindezeknek. ¹⁶ Annakokáért mondám az én elmémben: bolondnak állapotja szerint lesz az én állapotom is, miért valék tehát én is bölcsebb? és mondék az én elmémben: ez is hiábavalóság!

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Memang, aku tahu, "Hikmat lebih baik daripada kebodohan, seperti terang pun lebih baik daripada kegelapan. ¹⁴ Orang arif dapat melihat arah yang ditujunya; orang bodoh seperti berjalan meraba-raba." Tetapi aku tahu juga bahwa nasib yang sama akan menimpa mereka semua. ¹⁵ Maka pikirku, "Nasib yang menimpa orang bodoh akan kualami juga. Jadi, apa gunanya segala hikmatku?" Lalu kuambil kesimpulan bahwa hikmat itu memang tak ada gunanya sama sekali. ¹⁶ Orang yang bodoh akan segera dilupakan, tetapi orang yang mempunyai hikmat pun tak akan dikenang. Lambat laun kita semua akan hilang dari ingatan. Kita semua harus mati, baik orang yang arif maupun orang yang dungu.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Ed ho veduto che la sapienza è più eccellente che la stoltizia; siccome la luce è più eccellente che le tenebre. ¹⁴ Il savio ha i suoi occhi nel capo, e lo stolto cammina in tenebre; ma pure eziandio ho conosciuto che un medesimo avvenimento avviene ad essi tutti. ¹⁵ Laonde ho detto nel cuor mio: Egli avverrà anche a me il medesimo avvenimento che allo stolto; che mi gioverà egli adunque allora d’essere stato più savio? perciò ho detto nel cuor mio che ciò ancora è vanità. ¹⁶ Perciocchè non vi sarà giammai più memoria del savio, come nè anche dello stolto; conciossiachè nei giorni vegnenti ogni cosa sarà già dimenticata. E come muore il savio così muore anche lo stolto.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ E vidi che la sapienza ha un vantaggio sulla stoltezza, come la luce ha un vantaggio sulle tenebre. ¹⁴ Il savio ha gli occhi in testa, mentre lo stolto cammina nelle tenebre; ma ho riconosciuto pure che tutti e due hanno la medesima sorte. ¹⁵ Ond’io ho detto in cuor mio: "La sorte che tocca allo stolto toccherà anche a me; perché dunque essere stato così savio?" E ho detto in cuor mio che anche questo è vanità. ¹⁶ Poiché tanto del savio quanto dello stolto non rimane ricordo eterno; giacché, nei giorni a venire, tutto sarà da tempo dimenticato. Pur troppo il savio muore, al pari dello stolto!

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ 내가 보건대 지혜가 우매보다 뛰어남이 빛이 어두움보다 뛰어남 같도다 ¹⁴ 지혜자는 눈이 밝고 우매자는 어두움에 다니거니와 이들의 당하는 일이 일반인 줄을 내가 깨닫고 ¹⁵ 심중에 이르기를 우매자의 당한 것을 나도 당하리니 내가 심중에 이르기를 이것도 헛되도다 ¹⁶ 지혜자나 우매자나 영원토록 기억함을 얻지 못하나니 후일에는 다 잊어버린지 오랠 것임이라 오호라, 지혜자의 죽음이 우매자의 죽음과 일반이로다

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Pamačiau, kad išmintis yra vertingesnė už kvailystę tiek, kiek šviesa už tamsą. ¹⁴ Išmintingas turi akis, o kvailys vaikščioja tamsoje. Taip pat supratau, kad abiejų laukia toks pat likimas. ¹⁵ Tada tariau širdyje: “Jei kvailio likimas yra toks pat kaip mano, tai kodėl aš siekiu išminties?” Supratau, kad ir tai yra tuštybė. ¹⁶ Išmintingo, kaip ir kvailio, neatsimins ateityje; tai, kas yra dabar, užmirš būsiančios kartos. Išmintingas miršta lygiai taip pat, kaip kvailys.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ I obaczyłem, iż jest pożyteczniejsza mądrość niżeli głupstwo, tak jako jest pożyteczniejsza światłość, niżeli ciemność. ¹⁴ Mądry ma oczy w głowie swej, ale głupi w ciemnościach chodzi; a wszakżem poznał, że jednakie przygody na wszystkich przychdzą. ¹⁵ Dlategom rzekł w sercu mojem: Mali mi się tak dziać, jako się głupiemu dzieje, przeczżem go ja tedy mądrośćią przeszedł? Przetożem rzekł w sercu mojem: I toć jest marność. ¹⁶ Albowiem nie na wieki będzie pamiątki mądrego i głupiego, dlatego, iż to, co teraz jest, we dni przyszłe wszystkiego zapomną; a jako umiera mądry, tak i głupi.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Então vi eu que a sabedoria é mais excelente do que a estultícia, quanto a luz é mais excelente do que as trevas. ¹⁴ Os olhos do sábio estão na sua cabeça, mas o louco anda em trevas; contudo percebi que a mesma coisa lhes sucede a ambos. ¹⁵ Pelo que eu disse no meu coração: Como acontece ao estulto, assim me sucederá a mim; por que então busquei eu mais a sabedoria; Então respondi a mim mesmo que também isso era vaidade. ¹⁶ Pois do sábio, bem como do estulto, a memória não durará para sempre; porquanto de tudo, nos dias futuros, total esquecimento haverá. E como morre o sábio, assim morre o estulto!

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Da så jeg at visdommen har samme fortrin fremfor dårskapen som lyset har fremfor mørket; ¹⁴ den vise har øine i sitt hode, men dåren vandrer i mørket. Men jeg skjønte også at det går den ene som den andre. ¹⁵ Da sa jeg i mitt hjerte: Som det går dåren, så vil det også gå mig; hvad skulde det da være til at jeg var så vis? Og jeg sa i mitt kjerte at også dette var tomhet. ¹⁶ For minnet om den vise vil like så litt vare til evig tid som minnet om dåren; i de kommende dager vil jo alt sammen for lengst være glemt, og må ikke den vise dø like så vel som dåren?

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Şi am văzut, că înţelepciunea este cu atît mai de folos de cît nebunia, cu cît este mai de folos lumina de cît întunerecul; ¹⁴ înţeleptul îşi are ochii în cap, iar nebunul umblă în întunerec. Dar am băgat de seamă că şi unul şi altul au aceeaş soartă. ¹⁵ Şi am zis în inima mea:,,Dacă şi eu voi avea aceeaş soartă ca nebunul, atunci pentru ce am fost mai înţelept?`` Şi am zis în inima mea:,,Şi aceasta este o deşertăciune.`` ¹⁶ Căci pomenirea înţeleptului nu este mai vecinică de cît a nebunului: chiar în zilele următoare totul este uitat. Şi apoi şi înţeleptul moare, şi nebunul!

І я говорив був у серці своїм, що марнота й оце... ¹⁶ Не лишається пам'яти про мудрого, як і про нерозумного, на вічні віки, в днях наступних зовсім все забудеться, і мудрий вмирає так само, як і нерозумний...
