1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:
2 A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.
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 If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.
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 In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.
4 for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
5 Yes, it saw not the sun, and it had no knowledge; it is better with this than with the other.
5 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.
6 And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?
6 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?
7 All the work of man is for his mouth, and still he has a desire for food.
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 What have the wise more than the foolish? and what has the poor man by walking wisely before the living?
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 What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
10 That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.
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 There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?
11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?
12 Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?
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?
