A Time for Everything
1There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven— 2A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance. 5A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. 6A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak. 8A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance. 5A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. 6A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak. 8A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
1凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。2生有時，死有時；栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時；3殺戮有時，醫治有時；拆毀有時，建造有時；4哭有時，笑有時；哀慟有時，跳舞有時；5拋擲石頭有時，堆聚石頭有時；懷抱有時，不懷抱有時；6尋找有時，失落有時；保守有時，捨棄有時；7撕裂有時，縫補有時；靜默有時，言語有時；8喜愛有時，恨惡有時；爭戰有時，和好有時。
God Set Eternity in the Heart of Mankind
9What benefit is there for the worker from that in which he labors? 10I have seen the task which God has given the sons of mankind with which to occupy themselves. 11He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
9這樣看來，做事的人在他的勞碌上有甚麼益處呢？10我見神叫世人勞苦，使他們在其中受經練。11神造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永生原文是永遠安置在世人心裏。然而神從始至終的作為，人不能參透。
12I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; 13moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God. 14I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it. And God has so worked, that people will fear Him. 15That which is, is what has already been, and that which will be has already been; and God seeks what has passed by.
12我知道世人，莫強如終身喜樂行善；13並且人人吃喝，在他一切勞碌中享福，這也是神的恩賜。14我知道神一切所做的都必永存；無所增添，無所減少。神這樣行，是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。15現今的事早先就有了，將來的事早已也有了，並且神使已過的事重新再來或譯：並且神再尋回已過的事。
16Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. 17I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there. 18I said to myself regarding the sons of mankind, “God is testing them in order for them to see that they are as animals, they to themselves.” 19For the fate of the sons of mankind and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath, and there is no advantage for mankind over animals, for all is futility. 20All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust. 21Who knows that the spirit of the sons of mankind ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth? 22I have seen that nothing is better than when a person is happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?
16我又見日光之下，在審判之處有奸惡，在公義之處也有奸惡。17我心裏說，神必審判義人和惡人；因為在那裏，各樣事務，一切工作，都有定時。18我心裏說，這乃為世人的緣故，是神要試驗他們，使他們覺得自己不過像獸一樣。19因為世人遭遇的，獸也遭遇，所遭遇的都是一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，氣息都是一樣。人不能強於獸，都是虛空。20都歸一處，都是出於塵土，也都歸於塵土。21誰知道人的靈是往上升，獸的魂是下入地呢？22故此，我見人莫強如在他經營的事上喜樂，因為這是他的分。他身後的事誰能使他回來得見呢？
