1 To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
1 PARA todas las cosas hay sazón, y todo lo que se quiere debajo del cielo, [tiene su] tiempo:
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted.
2 Tiempo de nacer, y tiempo de morir; tiempo de plantar, y tiempo de arrancar lo plantado;
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 slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
3 Tiempo de matar, y tiempo de curar; tiempo de destruir, y tiempo de edificar;
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 weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.
5 Tiempo de esparcir las piedras, y tiempo de allegar las piedras; tiempo de abrazar, y tiempo de alejarse de abrazar;

8 Tiempo de amar, y tiempo de aborrecer; tiempo de guerra, y tiempo de paz.
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
9 What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
9 ¿Qué provecho tiene el que trabaja en lo que trabaja?
9 What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
10 I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
10 Yo he visto el trabajo que Dios ha dado á los hijos de los hombres para que en él se ocupasen.
10 I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
11 He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.
11 Todo lo hizo hermoso en su tiempo: y aun el mundo dió en su corazón, de tal manera que no alcance el hombre la obra de Dios desde el principio hasta el cabo.
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 I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
12 Yo he conocido que no hay mejor para ellos, que alegrarse, y hacer bien en su vida:
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
13 And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
13 Y también que es don de Dios que todo hombre coma y beba, y goce el bien de toda su labor.
13 Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
14 I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
14 He entendido que todo lo que Dios hace, eso será perpetuo: sobre aquello no se añadirá, ni de ello se disminuirá; y hácelo Dios, para que delante de él teman los hombres.
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 is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
15 Aquello que fué, ya es: y lo que ha de ser, fué ya; y Dios restaura lo que pasó.
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 And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
16 Vi más debajo del sol: en lugar del juicio, allí la impiedad; y en lugar de la justicia, allí la iniquidad.
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 I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.
17 Y dije yo en mi corazón: Al justo y al impío juzgará Dios; porque allí hay tiempo á todo lo que se quiere y sobre todo lo que se hace.
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 considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.
18 Dije en mi corazón, en orden á la condición de los hijos de los hombres, que Dios los probaría, para que así echaran de ver ellos mismos que son [semejantes] á las bestias.
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 the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
19 Porque el suceso de los hijos de los hombres, y el suceso del animal, el mismo suceso es: como mueren los unos, así mueren los otros; y una misma respiración tienen todos; ni tiene más el hombre que la bestia: porque todo es vanidad.
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 All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
20 Todo va á un lugar: todo es hecho del polvo, y todo se tornará en el mismo polvo.
20 All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
21 ¿Quién sabe que el espíritu de los hijos de los hombres suba arriba, y que el espíritu del animal descienda debajo de la tierra?
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 Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
22 Así que he visto que no hay cosa mejor que alegrarse el hombre con lo que hiciere; porque esta es su parte: porque ¿quién lo llevará para que vea lo que ha de ser después de él?
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?

«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.

… 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.
