9 工作的人，從勞苦中得了什麼利益﹖
what? advantage [the] to make: do in/on/with in which he/she/it laborious
10 我觀察了天主交予人類所應從事的事務，得知：
to see: see [obj] [the] task which to give: give God to/for son: child [the] man to/for be occupied in/on/with him
11 天主所行的一切事宜，都很適時，並賜給人認識時事的經歷，但人仍不能明瞭，天主自始至終所做的工作。
[obj] [the] all to make beautiful in/on/with time his also [obj] [the] forever: enduring to give: put in/on/with heart their from without which not to find [the] man [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do [the] God from head: first and till end
12 於是我明瞭：人類的幸福，只有在此生歡樂享受；
to know for nothing pleasant in/on/with them that if: except if: except to/for to rejoice and to/for to make: do pleasant in/on/with life his
13 但人人有吃有喝，享受自己一切勞苦之所得，也是天主的恩賜。
and also all [the] man which/that to eat and to drink and to see: enjoy good in/on/with all trouble his gift God he/she/it
14 我知道：凡天主所行的事，永恒不變，無一可增，無一可減。天主這樣作，是為叫人敬畏他。
to know for all which to make: do [the] God he/she/it to be to/for forever: enduring upon him nothing to/for to add and from him nothing to/for to dimish and [the] God to make: do which/that to fear: revere from to/for face: before his
15 現今所有的，早已有過；將來所有有，先前已有過；因為天主必追尋已往的事。
what? which/that to be already he/she/it and which to/for to be already to be and [the] God to seek [obj] to pursue
16 我在太陽下還看見：正義之處有不義，公平之處有不平。
and still to see: see underneath: under [the] sun place [the] justice there [to] [the] wickedness and place [the] righteousness there [to] [the] wickedness
17 我心裏想天主必要審判義人和惡人，因為各種事情和行為，在天主那裏都有其定時。
to say I in/on/with heart my [obj] [the] righteous and [obj] [the] wicked to judge [the] God for time to/for all pleasure and upon all [the] deed there
18 我想，天主藉此是為使世人認清自己是誰，看清自己與走獸無異。
to say I in/on/with heart my upon cause son: child [the] man to/for to purify them [the] God and to/for to see: see which/that they(masc.) animal they(masc.) to/for them
19 的確，世人的命運，同走獸的命運，都是一樣：前者怎樣死，後者也怎樣死；氣息都一樣，人並不優於走獸：因為都是虛無。
for accident son: child [the] man and accident [the] animal and accident one to/for them like/as death this so death this and spirit: breath one to/for all and advantage [the] man from [the] animal nothing for [the] all vanity
20 都同歸於一處；既都出於塵土，也都歸於塵土。
[the] all to go: went to(wards) place one [the] all to be from [the] dust and [the] all to return: return to(wards) [the] dust
21 人的氣息是否向上高升，走獸的氣息是否下降地下，有誰知道﹖
who? to know spirit son: descendant/people [the] man [the] to ascend: rise he/she/it to/for above [to] and spirit [the] animal [the] to go down he/she/it to/for beneath to/for land: soil
22 因此，我看出：人最好還是享受自己勞苦之所得，因為這是他的命運；有誰能領他去看自己身後的事呢﹖
and to see: see for nothing pleasant from whence to rejoice [the] man in/on/with deed: work his for he/she/it portion his for who? to come (in): bring him to/for to see: see in/on/with what? which/that to be after him
