Eclesiastés 3 Vulgata Clementina
Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), leído por Joyfull · Sobre las grabaciones
1 [Omnia tempus habent, et suis spatiis transeunt universa sub cælo.
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 Tempus nascendi, et tempus moriendi; tempus plantandi, et tempus evellendi quod plantatum est.
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 Tempus occidendi, et tempus sanandi; tempus destruendi, et tempus ædificandi.
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 Tempus flendi, et tempus ridendi; tempus plangendi, et tempus saltandi.
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 Tempus spargendi lapides, et tempus colligendi, tempus amplexandi, et tempus longe fieri ab amplexibus.
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 Tempus acquirendi, et tempus perdendi; tempus custodiendi, et tempus abjiciendi.
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 Tempus scindendi, et tempus consuendi; tempus tacendi, et tempus loquendi.
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 Tempus dilectionis, et tempus odii; tempus belli, et tempus pacis.]
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
9 [Quid habet amplius homo de labore suo?
9 What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
10 Vidi afflictionem quam dedit Deus filiis hominum, ut distendantur in ea.
10 I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
11 Cuncta fecit bona in tempore suo, et mundum tradidit disputationi eorum, ut non inveniat homo opus quod operatus est Deus ab initio usque ad finem.
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 Et cognovi quod non esset melius nisi lætari, et facere bene in vita sua;
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.
13 omnis enim homo qui comedit et bibit, et videt bonum de labore suo, hoc donum Dei est.
13 Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
14 Didici quod omnia opera quæ fecit Deus perseverent in perpetuum; non possumus eis quidquam addere, nec auferre, quæ fecit Deus ut timeatur.
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 Quod factum est, ipsum permanet; quæ futura sunt jam fuerunt, et Deus instaurat quod abiit.]
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 [Vidi sub sole in loco judicii impietatem, et in loco justitiæ iniquitatem:
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 et dixi in corde meo: Justum et impium judicabit Deus, et tempus omnis rei tunc erit.
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 Dixi in corde meo de filiis hominum, ut probaret eos Deus, et ostenderet similes esse bestiis.
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 Idcirco unus interitus est hominis et jumentorum, et æqua utriusque conditio. Sicut moritur homo, sic et illa moriuntur. Similiter spirant omnia, et nihil habet homo jumento amplius: cuncta subjacent vanitati,
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 et omnia pergunt ad unum locum. De terra facta sunt, et in terram pariter revertuntur.
20 All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Quis novit si spiritus filiorum Adam ascendat sursum, et si spiritus jumentorum descendat deorsum?
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 Et deprehendi nihil esse melius quam lætari hominem in opere suo, et hanc esse partem illius. Quis enim eum adducet ut post se futura cognoscat?]
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.
