1 لِأَنَّ هَذَا كُلَّهُ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي قَلْبِي، وَٱمْتَحَنْتُ هَذَا كُلَّهُ: أَنَّ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلْحُكَمَاءَ وَأَعْمَالَهُمْ فِي يَدِ ٱللهِ. ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَا يَعْلَمُ حُبًّا وَلَا بُغْضًا. ٱلْكُلُّ أَمَامَهُمُ.
1 For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.
2 ٱلْكُلُّ عَلَى مَا لِلْكُلِّ. حَادِثَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَلِلشِّرِّيرِ، لِلصَّالِحِ وَلِلطَّاهِرِ وَلِلنَّجِسِ، لِلذَّابِحِ وَلِلَّذِي لَا يَذْبَحُ، كَٱلصَّالِحِ ٱلْخَاطِئُ. ٱلْحَالِفُ كَٱلَّذِي يَخَافُ ٱلْحَلْفَ.
2 All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
3 هَذَا أَشَرُّ كُلِّ مَا عُمِلَ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ: أَنَّ حَادِثَةً وَاحِدَةً لِلْجَمِيعِ. وَأَيْضًا قَلْبُ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ مَلآنُ مِنَ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱلْحَمَاقَةُ فِي قَلْبِهِمْ وَهُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.
3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all. Yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
4 لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يُسْتَثْنَى؟ لِكُلِّ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ، فَإِنَّ ٱلْكَلْبَ ٱلْحَيَّ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱلْمَيْتِ.
4 For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَمُوتُونَ، أَمَّا ٱلْمَوْتَى فَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا، وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ بَعْدُ لِأَنَّ ذِكْرَهُمْ نُسِيَ.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.
6 وَمَحَبَّتُهُمْ وَبُغْضَتُهُمْ وَحَسَدُهُمْ هَلَكَتْ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، وَلَا نَصِيبَ لَهُمْ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فِي كُلِّ مَا عُمِلَ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ.
6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
7 اِذْهَبْ كُلْ خُبْزَكَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَٱشْرَبْ خَمْرَكَ بِقَلْبٍ طَيِّبٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ قَدْ رَضِيَ عَمَلَكَ.
7 Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.
8 لِتَكُنْ ثِيَابُكَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ بَيْضَاءَ، وَلَا يُعْوِزْ رَأْسَكَ ٱلدُّهْنُ.
8 Let your garments be always white, and don’t let your head lack oil.
9 اِلْتَذَّ عَيْشًا مَعَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَحْبَبْتَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاةِ بَاطِلِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ إِيَّاهَا تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ بَاطِلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ نَصِيبُكَ فِي ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَفِي تَعَبِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَتْعَبُهُ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ.
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
10 كُلُّ مَا تَجِدُهُ يَدُكَ لِتَفْعَلَهُ فَٱفْعَلْهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَلَا ٱخْتِرَاعٍ وَلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ وَلَا حِكْمَةٍ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَيْهَا.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.
11 فَعُدْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ: أَنَّ ٱلسَّعْيَ لَيْسَ لِلْخَفِيفِ، وَلَا ٱلْحَرْبَ لِلْأَقْوِيَاءِ، وَلَا ٱلْخُبْزَ لِلْحُكَمَاءِ، وَلَا ٱلْغِنَى لِلْفُهَمَاءِ، وَلَا ٱلنِّعْمَةَ لِذَوِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، لِأَنَهُ ٱلْوَقْتُ وَٱلْعَرَضُ يُلَاقِيَانِهِمْ كَافَّةً.
11 I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
12 لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ أَيْضًا لَا يَعْرِفُ وَقْتَهُ. كَٱلْأَسْمَاكِ ٱلَّتِي تُؤْخَذُ بِشَبَكَةٍ مُهْلِكَةٍ، وَكَالْعَصَافِيرِ ٱلَّتِي تُؤْخَذُ بِٱلشَّرَكِ، كَذَلِكَ تُقْتَنَصُ بَنُو ٱلْبَشَرِ فِي وَقْتِ شَرٍّ، إِذْ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً.
12 For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
13 هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ رَأَيْتُهَا أَيْضًا تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، وَهِيَ عَظِيمَةٌ عِنْدِي:
13 I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.
14 مَدِينَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فِيهَا أُنَاسٌ قَلِيلُونَ، فَجَاءَ عَلَيْهَا مَلِكٌ عَظِيمٌ وَحَاصَرَهَا وَبَنَى عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا عَظِيمَةً.
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.
15 وَوُجِدَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ مِسْكِينٌ حَكِيمٌ، فَنَجَّى هُوَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِحِكْمَتِهِ. وَمَا أَحَدٌ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ!
15 Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
16 فَقُلْتُ: «ٱلْحِكْمَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْقُوَّةِ». أَمَّا حِكْمَةُ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فَمُحْتَقَرَةٌ، وَكَلَامُهُ لَا يُسْمَعُ.
16 Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
17 كَلِمَاتُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ تُسْمَعُ فِي ٱلْهُدُوءِ، أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صُرَاخِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِ بَيْنَ ٱلْجُهَّالِ.
17 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
18 اَلْحِكْمَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَدَوَاتِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. أَمَّا خَاطِئٌ وَاحِدٌ فَيُفْسِدُ خَيْرًا جَزِيلًا.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.

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).
… thy wine with a merry heart (that is, the spiritual wine); and let oil be poured out upon thy head (thou seest he alludes even to the mystic Chrism); and let thy garments be always white, for the Lord is well pleased with thy works; for before thou camest to Baptism, thy works were vanity of vanities.

So, since no human voice is strong enough to be heard in such a disturbance, I reckon silence more profitable than speech, for if there is any truth in the words of the Preacher, "The words of wise men are heard in quiet," in the present condition of things any discussion of them must be anything but becoming.
