11:6早晨要撒你的种,晚上也不歇你的手,因为你不知那一样发旺,或是早撒的,或是晚撒的,或是两样都好。
In the morning sow thy seed; and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper; either this or that; or whether they both shall be alike good。
11:7光本是佳美的,眼见日光也是可悦的。
Truly the light is sweet; and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
11:8人活多年,就当快乐多年。然而也当想到黑暗的日子,因为这日子必多,所要来的都是虚空。
But if a man live many years; and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many。 All that eth is vanity。
11:9少年人哪,你在幼年时当快乐。在幼年的日子,使你的心欢畅,行你心所愿行的,看你眼所爱看的,却要知道,为这一切的事,神必审问你。
Rejoice; O young man; in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth; and walk in the ways of thine heart; and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou; that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment。
11:10所以你当从心中除掉愁烦。从肉体克去邪恶。因为一生的开端,和幼年之时,都是虚空的。
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart; and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity。
旧约 传道书(Ecclesiastes) 第 12 章 ( 本篇共有 12 章 ) 7上一章 目录
12:1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。
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth; while the evil days e not; nor the years draw nigh; when thou shalt say; I have no pleasure in them;
12:2不要等到日头,光明,月亮,星宿,变为黑暗,雨后云彩反回,
While the sun; or the light; or the moon; or the stars; be not darkened; nor the clouds return after the rain:
12:3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,
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble; and the strong men shall bow themselves; and the grinders cease because they are few; and those that look out of the windows be darkened;
12:4街门关闭,推磨的响声微小,雀鸟一叫,人就起来,唱歌的女子,也都衰微,
And the doors shall be shut in the streets; when the sound of the grinding is low; and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird; and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
12:5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,
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high; and fears shall be in the way; and the almond tree shall flourish; and the grasshopper shall be a burden; and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home; and the mourners go about the streets:
12:6银链折断,金罐破裂,瓶子在泉旁损坏,水轮在井口破烂,
Or ever the silver cord be loosed; or the golden bowl be broken; or the pitcher be broken at the fountain; or the wheel broken at the cistern。
12:7尘土仍归于地,灵仍归于赐灵的神。
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it。
12:8传道者说,虚空的虚空,凡事都是虚空。
Vanity of vanities; saith the preacher; all is vanity。
12:9在者,传道者因为有智慧,仍将知识教训众人。又默想,又考查,又陈说许多箴言。
And moreover; because the preacher was wise; he still taught the people knowledge; yea; he gave good heed; and sought out; and set in order many proverbs。
12:10传道者专心寻求可喜悦的言语,是凭正直写的诚实话。
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright; even words of truth。
12:11智慧人的言语,好像刺棍。会中之师的言语,又像钉稳的钉子。都是一个牧者所赐的。
The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies; which are given from one shepherd。
12:12我儿,还有一层,你当受劝戒。着书多,没有穷尽。读书多,身体疲倦。
And further; by these; my son; be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh。
12:13这些事都已听见了。总意就是敬畏神,谨守他的诫命,这是人所当尽的本分。(或作这是众人的本分)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God; and keep his mandments: for this is the whole duty of man。
12:14因为人所作的事,连一切隐藏的事,无论是善是恶,神都必审问。
For God shall bring every work into judgment; with every secret thing; whether it be good; or whether it be evil。
