For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy， but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting， only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. |
神喜悦谁，就给谁智慧，知识，和喜乐。惟有罪人，神使他劳苦，叫他将所收聚的，所堆积的，归给神所喜悦的人。这也是虚空，也是捕风。 |
神把智慧、知识和喜乐赐给他所喜悦的人，却使罪人作收集和积聚的差事，把所得的归给神所喜悦的人。这也是虚空，也是捕风。 |
上帝賜智慧、知識，和喜樂給那使他喜歡的人，卻使罪人操作辛苦，把他們所積聚的都給那使他喜悅的人。這也是空虛，也是捕風。 |
To the man who pleases him， God gives wisdom， knowledge and happiness， but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless， a chasing after the wind. CHAPTER 3 |

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth， before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say， "I have no pleasure in them"; |
你趁着年幼，衰败的日子尚未来到，就是你所说，我毫无喜乐的那些年日未曾临近之先，当记念造你的主。 |
在你壮年的日子，当记念你的创造主。不要等到衰败的日子，就是你所说：“我毫无喜乐”的那些年日临到， |
趁著你年輕時，要記住你的創造主。趁著衰老的年日未到，你還沒有說「活著毫無意思」， |
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth， before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say， "I find no pleasure in them" -- |

before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain， |
不要等到日头，光明，月亮，星宿，变为黑暗，雨后云彩反回， |
日头、光明、月亮、星宿变暗，雨后乌云再现的时候。 |
而太陽、月亮、星辰還沒有失去光輝，雨後的雲彩尚未消逝時，你要記住他。 |
before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark， and the clouds return after the rain; |

in the day when the keepers of the house tremble， and the strong men are bent， and the grinders cease because they are few， and those who look through the windows are dimmed， |
看守房屋的发颤，有力的屈身，推磨的稀少就止息，从窗户往外看的都昏暗， |
那时，看守房子的发抖，强壮的弯腰，推磨的稀少，都停了工，往窗外看的都昏暗了， |
時候將到，你的手臂要發抖，強健的腿無力。你的牙齒只剩幾顆，難以咀嚼。你的眼睛昏花，視線模糊不清。 |
when the keepers of the house tremble， and the strong men stoop， when the grinders cease because they are few， and those looking through the windows grow dim; |

and the doors on the street are shut-when the sound of the grinding is low， and one rises up at the sound of a bird， and all the daughters of song are brought low- |
街门关闭，推磨的响声微小，雀鸟一叫，人就起来，歌唱的女子，也都衰微， |
当街的门口关闭，推磨的声音微弱。雀鸟一叫，人就起来。唱歌的歌声（“歌声”原文作“女子”）都低微。 |
你的耳朵聾了，聽不見街上的吵鬧；推磨或歌唱的聲音你聽不到。但麻雀初唱，你就醒來。 |
when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds， but all their songs grow faint; |

they are afraid also of what is high， and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms， the grasshopper drags itself along，t and desire fails， because man is going to his eternal home， and the mourners go about the streets- |
人怕高处，路上有惊慌，杏树开花，蚱蜢成为重担，人所愿的也都废掉，因为人归他永远的家，吊丧的在街上往来， |
人怕高处，怕路上有惊吓。杏树开花，蚱蜢蹒跚而行，催情果失效。因为人归他永远的家，哭丧的在街上游行。 |
你怕上高處，走路也有危險。你的頭髮斑白，精力衰敗，性慾斷絕，再也不能挽回了。我們都向著最後的歸宿地去；那時候，街上將有哀號的聲音。 |
when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. |
