1 All things have their time, and all things under heaven continue during their interval.
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pull up what was planted.
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
9 What more does a man have from his labor?
9 What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
10 I have seen the affliction that God has given to the sons of men, in order that they may be occupied by it.
10 I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
11 He has made all things good in their time, and he has handed over the world to their disputes, so that man may not discover the work which God made from the beginning, even until the end.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
12 And I realize that there is nothing better than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
13 For this is a gift from God: when each man eats and drinks, and sees the good results of his labor.
13 Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
14 I have learned that all the works which God has made continue on, in perpetuity. We are not able to add anything, nor to take anything away, from those things which God has made in order that he may be feared.
14 I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.
15 What has been made, the same continues. What is in the future, has already existed. And God restores what has passed away.
15 That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago. God seeks again that which is passed away.
16 I saw under the sun: instead of judgment, impiety, and instead of justice, iniquity.
16 Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
17 And I said in my heart: “God will judge the just and the impious, and then the time for each matter shall be.”
17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”
18 I said in my heart, about the sons of men, that God would test them, and reveal them to be like wild animals.
18 I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.
19 For this reason, the passing away of man and of beasts is one, and the condition of both is equal. For as a man dies, so also do they die. All things breathe similarly, and man has nothing more than beast; for all these are subject to vanity.
19 For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.
20 And all things continue on to one place; for from the earth they were made, and unto the earth they shall return together.
20 All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knows if the spirit of the sons of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?”
22 And I have discovered nothing to be better than for a man to rejoice in his work: for this is his portion. And who shall add to him, so that he may know the things that will occur after him?
22 Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

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).
… knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?" or of beast, as in the book of Solomon, "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" or of that physical spirit which is called wind, for so the Psalmist calls it: …

And what Solomon spoke of others will suit you also; for he said, in that case, There is a time to bear and a time to die; but to you, in the reverse order, there was a time to die and a time to be born; and one and the same time effected both of these, and your birth …

As of even honey repletion and satiety, though it be of honey, produce vomiting; and, as Solomon says and I think, there is a time for every thing, and that which is good ceases to be good if it be not done in a good way; just as a flower is quite out of season in winter, and just as …

Or perhaps this was the time for silence spoken of by Solomon the wise. For, when life is buffeted by so fierce a storm that all the intelligence of those who are instructed in the word is filled with the deceit of false reasoning and confounded, like an eye filled with dust, when men are stunned by strange and awful …

And, accordingly, if these last had been still alive at the advent of our Lord, when the time not of casting stones away but of gathering them together had come, they would have immediately made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
