1 And remember thy Creator In the days of thy youth, Before the days of evil come, And the years overtake [thee] in which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”
2 While the sun and light are not darkened, Nor the moon and the stars; Nor the clouds return after the rain:
2 Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
3 In the day wherein the keepers of the house shall tremble, And the mighty men shall become bent, And the grinding [women] cease because they have become few, And the [women] looking out at the windows be dark;
3 in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened,
4 And they shall shut the doors in the marketplace, Because of the weakness of the voice of her that grinds [at the mill]; And he shall rise up at the voice of the sparrow, And all the daughters of song shall be brought low;
4 and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
5 And they shall look up, and fears [shall be] in the way, And the almond tree shall blossom, And the locust shall increase, And the caper shall be scattered: Because man has gone to his eternal home, And the mourners have gone about the market:
5 yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets;
6 Before the silver cord be [let go], Or the choice gold be broken, Or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, Or the wheel run down to the cistern;
6 before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the spring, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
7 [Before] the dust also return to the earth as it was, And the spirit return to God who gave it.
7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher; All is vanity.
8 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “All is vanity!”
9 And because the Preacher was wise above [others,] [So it was] that he taught man excellent knowledge, And the ear will trace out the parables.
9 Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The Preacher sought diligently To find out acceptable words, And a correct writing, [even] words of truth.
10 The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, And as nails firmly fastened, Which have been given from one shepherd by agreement.
11 The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And moreover, my son, guard thyself by means of them: Of making many books there is no end; And much study is a weariness of the flesh.
12 Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Hear the end of the matter, the sum: Fear God, and keep his commandments: For this is the whole man.
13 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God will bring every work into judgment, With everything that has been overlooked, Whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
The almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall grow heavy, and the caper-berry shall be scattered abroad.
