1 Hay otro mal que vi bajo el sol que prevalece entre los hombres:
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:
2 El del hombre a quien ʼElohim da riquezas, bienes y honra, de modo que nada le falta de todo lo que desea su alma, pero a quien ʼElohim no capacita para disfrutarlos, sino lo disfrutan los extraños. Esto es vanidad y un mal doloroso.
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 Si un hombre engendra 100 [hijos] y vive muchos años, aunque sean numerosos los días de su vida, si su alma no se sacia de buenas cosas, ni siquiera tiene un entierro apropiado, digo: Mejor que él es un aborto.
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 Porque éste llega en un soplo y se va en oscuridad, y la oscuridad encubre 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 se enteró de nada, ni recibe sepultura, pero descansa mejor que el otro.
5 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
6 Porque aunque aquél viva 1.000 años dos veces sin disfrutar del bien, ¿No van todos a un 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 del hombre es para su boca, Y aun así, su alma no se sacia.
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 ¿Qué provecho tiene el sabio Más que el necio? ¿Qué ventaja tiene el pobre Que supo portarse entre los vivientes?
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 divagar del alma. También esto es vanidad Y correr tras 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 tiene nombre. Se sabe que es solo un hombre, Y que no puede contender Con el que es 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 Porque hay muchas palabras Que aumentan la vanidad. ¿Qué provecho saca el hombre?
11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?
12 Porque ¿quién sabe lo que es bueno para el hombre en la vida? Todos los días de su vana vida los pasará como una sombra, pues ¿quién dirá al hombre lo que sucederá después de él 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?
