I searched in my heart how to cherish my flesh with wine, while practising my heart with wisdom; and how to lay hold on folly, till I should see what was that good for the children of men which they should do under the heavens all the days of their life.
I acquired servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that had been in Jerusalem before me.
Купил себе рабов и рабынь, и были у меня и другие рабы, рожденные в доме моем. Также крупного и мелкого скота было у меня больше, чем у кого-либо, кто жил до меня в Иерусалиме.
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the children of men, a wife and concubines.
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion from all my labour.
Чего бы ни пожелали глаза мои, я ни в чем им не отказывал; сердцу своему я не отказывал в удовольствии. Мое сердце радовалось от всего, что я делал — это и было наградой за весь мой труд.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that it had cost me to do [them]; and behold, all was vanity and pursuit of the wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Но когда я посмотрел на все, что сделали мои руки, и на тот труд, что я совершил, я увидел, что все суета, все — погоня за ветром, и ни в чем нет пользы под солнцем.
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what shall the man [do] that cometh after the king? -- that which hath already been done.
And I said in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool so will it happen even to me; and why was I then so wise? Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
For there shall be no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; because everything is already forgotten in the days which come. And how dieth the wise even as the fool?
And who knoweth whether he will be a wise [man] or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have been wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
For there is a man whose labour hath been with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill, and who leaveth it to a man that hath not laboured therein, to be his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
потому что человек может трудиться с мудростью, знанием и умением, а затем должен оставить все тому, кто палец о палец не ударил. И это — суета, это — большая несправедливость.
There is nothing good for man, but that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
For he giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good in God's sight. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.
Человеку, который угоден Ему, Он дает мудрость, знание и счастье, а грешнику — бремя: собирать и копить богатство, чтобы передать его тому, кто угоден Богу. И это — суета, это — погоня за ветром.
