傳7
1名譽強如美好的膏油；人死的日子勝過人生的日子。
2往遭喪的家去，強如往宴樂的家去；因為死是眾人的結局，活人也必將這事放在心上。
3憂愁強如喜笑；因為面帶愁容，終必使心喜樂。
4智慧人的心在遭喪之家；愚昧人的心在快樂之家。
5聽智慧人的責備，強如聽愚昧人的歌唱。
6愚昧人的笑聲，好像鍋下燒荊棘的爆聲；這也是虛空。
7勒索使智慧人便為愚妄；賄賂能敗壞人的慧心。
8事情的終局強如事情的起頭；存心忍耐的，勝過居心驕傲的。
9你不要心裡急躁惱怒，因為惱怒存在愚昧人的懷中。
10不要說：先前的日子強過如今的日子，是什麼緣故呢？你這樣問，不是出於智慧。
11智慧和產業並好，而且天日的人得智慧更為有益。
12因為智慧護庇人，好像銀錢護庇人一樣。惟獨智慧能保全智慧人的生命。這就是知識的益處。
13你要察看神的作為；因神使為曲的，誰能變為直呢？
14遇亨通的日子你當喜樂；遭患難的日子你當思想；因為神使這兩樣並列，為的是叫人查不出身後有什麼事。
15有義人行義，反致滅亡；有惡人行惡，倒享長壽。這都是我在虛度之日中所見過的。
16不要行義過分，也不要過於自逞智慧，何必自取敗亡呢？
17不要行惡過分，也不要為人愚昧，何必不到期而死呢？
18你持守這個為美，那個也不要鬆手；因為敬畏神的人，必從這兩樣出來。
19智慧使有智慧的人比城中十個官長更有能力。
20時常行善而不犯罪的義人，世上實在沒有。
21人所說的一切話，你不要放在心上，恐怕聽見你的僕人咒詛你。
22因為你心裡知道，自己也曾屢次咒詛別人。
23我曾用智慧試驗這一切事；我說，要得智慧，智慧卻離我遠。
24萬事之理，離我甚遠，而且最深，誰能測透呢？
25我轉念，一心要知道，要考察，要尋求智慧和萬事的理由；又要知道邪惡為愚昧，愚昧為狂妄。
26我得知有等婦人比死還苦：他的心是網羅，手是鎖鍊。凡蒙神喜悅的人必能躲避他；有罪的人卻被他纏住了。
27傳道者說：「看哪，一千男子中，我找到一個正直人，但眾女子中，沒有找到一個。」我將這事一一比較，要尋求其理，我心仍要尋找，卻未曾找到。
28
29我所找到的只有一件，就是神造人原是正直，但他們尋出許多巧計。
Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5 It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun.
12 Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked?
14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
15 In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise- why destroy yourself?
17 Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool- why die before your time?
18 It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.
19 Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful than ten rulers in a city.
20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.
21 Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you-
22 for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said, “I am determined to be wise”- but this was beyond me.
24 Whatever exists is far off and most profound- who can discover it?
25 So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.
26 I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.
27 “Look,” says the Teacher, “this is what I have discovered: “Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things-
28 while I was still searching but not finding- I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.
29 This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
傳8
1誰如智慧人呢？誰知道事情的解釋呢？人的智慧使他的臉發光，並使他臉上的暴氣改變。
2我勸你遵守王的命令；既指神起誓，理當如此。
3不要急躁離開王的面前，不要固執行惡，因為他凡事都隨自己的心意而行。
4王的話本有權力，誰敢問他說「你做什麼」呢？
5凡遵守命令的，必不經歷禍患；智慧人的心能辨明時候和定理(原文作審判)。
6各樣事務成就都有時候和定理，因為人的苦難重壓在他身上。
7他不知道將來的事，因為將來如何，誰能告訴他呢？
8無人有權力掌管生命，將生命留住；也無人有權力掌管死期；這場爭戰，無人能免；邪惡也不能救那好行邪惡的人。
9這一切我都見過，也專心查考日光之下所做的一切事。有時這人管轄那人，令人受害。
10我見惡人埋葬，歸入墳墓；又見行正直事的離開聖地，在城中被人忘記。這也是虛空。
11因為斷定罪名不立刻施行，所以世人滿心作惡。
12最人雖然作惡百次，倒享長久的年日；然而我準知道，敬畏神的，就是在他面前敬畏的人，終久必得福樂。
13惡人卻不得福樂，也不得長久的年日；這年日好像影兒，因他不敬畏神。
14世上有一件虛空的事，就是義人所遭遇的，反照惡人所行的；又有惡人所遭遇的，反照義人所行的。我說，這也是虛空。
15我就稱讚快樂，原來人在日光之下，莫強如吃喝快樂；因為他在日光之下，神賜他一生的年日，要從勞碌中，時常享受所得的。
16我專心求智慧，要看世上所做的事。(有晝夜不睡覺不合眼的。)
17我就看明神一切的作為，知道人查不出日光之下所做的事；任憑他費多少力尋查，都查不出來，就是智慧人雖想知道，也是查不出來。
Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who is like the wise? Who knows the explanation of things? A person’s wisdom brightens their face and changes its hard appearance.
2 Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
3 Do not be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
4 Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.
7 Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?
8 As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
9 All this I saw, as I applied my mind to everything done under the sun. There is a time when a man lords it over others to his own hurt.
10 Then too, I saw the wicked buried-those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.
11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
12 Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
13 Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
14 There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.
15 So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.
16 When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth-people getting no sleep day or night-
17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.
