1 He visto bajo el sol una desgracia que pesa mucho sobre los seres humanos:
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:
2 Dios da a un hombre dinero, riquezas y honor, de modo que tiene todo lo que desea. Pero Dios no le permite disfrutarlo, y un extraño se apodera de ello. Esto es inútil y una enfermedad terrible.
2 a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 Aunque un hombre tenga cien hijos y viva muchísimos años, si no disfruta de lo bueno ni recibe honra al morir, digo que está mejor un niño que nace muerto.
3 If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he;
4 Ese niño vino en vano y se va a la oscuridad, y la oscuridad cubre su nombre.
4 for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
5 No vio el sol ni conoció nada, pero está mejor que aquel hombre.
5 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
6 Aunque ese hombre viva mil años dos veces y no disfrute de lo bueno, ¿no van ambos al mismo lugar?
6 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?
7 Todo el trabajo de una persona es para alimentarse, pero su apetito nunca queda satisfecho.
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 ¿Qué ventaja tiene el sabio sobre el necio? ¿Qué gana el pobre que sabe comportarse con sabiduría entre los vivos?
8 For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?
9 Más vale lo que ven los ojos que el deseo que va de un lado a otro. Esto también es inútil, como perseguir el viento.
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
10 Lo que existe ya recibió su nombre, y se sabe lo que es el ser humano. Este no tiene poder frente a alguien más fuerte que él.
10 Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.
11 Hay innumerables palabras que aumentan lo inútil, pero ¿qué provecho obtiene de ellas el ser humano?
11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?
12 ¿Quién sabe lo que es bueno para una persona durante los días de su vida fugaz, que pasa como una sombra? ¿Quién puede decirle lo que sucederá después de ella bajo el sol?
12 For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
