傳道書 5
1 你往天主的殿裏去時，要小心邁步；你前去聽道，勝過愚人獻祭，因為他們只知作惡。
Guard (foot your *Q(K)*) when you will go to [the] house of God and draw near to listen more than giving the fools a sacrifice for not they [are] knowing to do evil.
2 你不要在天主前冒然開口，你的心也不要急於發言應許，因為天主在天上，你在地下，為此你說話應當簡單。
May not you be hasty on mouth your and heart your may not it hasten to bring forth a matter before God for God [is] in the heavens and you [are] on the earth there-fore let them be words your few.
3 因為夜夢由於事務繁雜，亂語出於多言。
For it comes the dream with abundance of business and [the] voice a fool with a multitude of words.
4 你一向天主許願，就不可拖延償還，因為他不喜歡人怠慢；你許了願，就應速還；
When you will vow a vow to God may not you delay to pay it for there not [is] pleasure in fools [that] which you will vow pay.
5 不許願好過許而不還。
[is] good That not you will vow (more than what you will vow *L(abh)*) and not you will pay.
6 不要放任你的口，使你陷於罪過，免得你在使者前說是「錯許了。」為何要天主因你這句話而發怒，破壞你手中的工作﹖
May not you permit mouth your to cause to sin flesh your and may not you say before the messenger that [was] inadvertence it why? will he be angry God towards voice your and he will destroy [the] work of hands your.
7 多夢多虛幻，多言多糊塗；你要敬畏天主。
For in abundance of dreams and futilities and words many for God fear.
8 你若在某省看見欺壓窮人，違犯公道和正義的事，不必對此驚奇，因為高者之上還有更高者在上鑒察，而他們之上還有更高者。
If oppression of a poor person and robbery of justice and righteousness you will see in the province do not be astonished on the matter for a high [one] over a high [one] [is] watching and high [ones] over them.
9 國家全面的利益，在乎有一位關心農業的君王。
And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
10 愛錢的，錢不能使他滿足；愛財的，進益不能使他滿足：這也是空虛。
[one who] loves Silver not he will be satisfied silver and whoever [is] loving wealth not income also this [is] futility.
11 錢財增多，消費的人也隨之增多；財主除飽享眼福外，能有什麼益處﹖
When increases the good they increase [those who] consume it and what? profit [belongs] to owner its that except ([the] sight of *Q(K)*) eyes his.
12 工人不論吃多吃少，總睡得甘甜；飽食的富人，卻難於安眠。
[is] sweet [the] sleep of The laborer whether a little and or [surely] much he will eat and the plenty of the rich [person] not it [is] permitting him to sleep.
13 我看見在太陽下有一件慘痛的事：財主積蓄財富，反而害了自己。
There [is] an evil severe [which] I have seen under the sun wealth [was] being kept by owner its to harm his.
14 生意一次失敗，財產盡失：生了個兒子，手中一無所有。
And it was lost the wealth that in a business of evil and he fathered a son and not [was] in hand his anything.
15 他赤身出離母胎，也照樣赤身歸去；他勞力之所得，絲毫不能帶去。
Just as he came out from [the] womb of mother his naked he will return to go when he came and anything not he will carry in toil his that he may take in hand his.
16 這也是一件慘痛的事：他怎樣來，也怎樣去；他操勞追風，究有什麼益處；
And also this [is] an evil severe like exactly as [that] which came so he will go and what? [is the] profit [belongs] to him that he will toil for the wind.
17 況且他一生在黑暗中生活，遭受許多煩惱、疾病和悲憤的事。
Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
18 我所認為幸福美滿的事，是人在天主所賞的少數歲月內，有吃有喝，且享受他在太陽下一切勞碌所得的福樂，這原是他應得的一分。
Here! [that] which I have seen I [to be] good [that] which [is] beautiful [is] to eat and to drink and to see good in all toil his - that someone will toil under the sun [the] number of [the] days of (life his *Q(k)*) which he has given to him God for that [is] portion his.
19 的確，天主賞賜人財產和富裕，叫他能享用；能取得應有的一分，能享受勞碌所得的快樂，實是天主的恩賜。
Also every person whom he has given to him God wealth and riches and he has given power him to eat from it and to receive portion his and to rejoice in toil his this [is] a gift of God it.
20 那麼，人就不甚顧慮人生歲月的短促，因為天主以喜樂充滿了他的心。
For not [surely] much he will remember [the] days of life his for God [is] keeping busy with [the] joy of heart his.
