傳道書 1
1 達味之子耶路撒冷的君王「訓道者」的語錄：
[the] words of Teacher [the] son of David king in Jerusalem.
2 虛而又虛，訓道者說：虛而又虛，萬事皆虛。
Futility of futilities he said Teacher futility of futilities everything [is] futility.
3 人在太陽下辛勤勞作，為人究有何益﹖
What? profit [belongs] to humankind in all toil his that he toils under the sun.
4 一代過去，一代又來，大地仍然常在。
A generation [is] going and a generation [is] coming and the earth for ever [is] continuing.
5 太陽升起，太陽落下，匆匆趕回原處，從新再升。
And it rises the sun and it goes the sun and to place its [is] panting [is] rising it there.
6 風吹向南，又轉向北，旋轉不息，循環周行。
[it is] going To [the] south and [it is] circling to [the] north circling around - circling around [is] going the wind and on circuits its [is] returning the wind.
7 江河流入大海，大海總不滿溢；江河仍向所往之處，川流不息。
All the rivers [are] going to the sea and the sea not it [is] full to [the] place where the rivers [are] going there they [are] returning to go.
8 萬事皆辛勞，無人能盡言：眼看，看不夠；耳聽，聽不飽。
All things [are] wearisome not he is able anyone to speak [them] not it is satisfied an eye by seeing and not it is filled an ear from hearing.
9 往昔所有的，將來會再有；昔日所行的，將來會再行；太陽之下決無新事。
Whatever it has been it [is] which will be and whatever (which has been done *L(abh)*) it [is] which will be done and there not [is] any new [thing] under the sun.
10 若有人指著某事說：「看，這是新事。」豈不知在我們以前早就有過。
[is] there? Anything that anyone will say see this [is] new it already it has been to ancient times which it was from to before us.
11 只是對往者，沒有人去追憶；同樣，對來者，也不會為後輩所記念。
There not [is] remembrance of the former [things] and also of the subsequent [things] that they will be not it will be of them remembrance with who will be to the later [time].
12 我訓道者，曾在耶路撒冷作過以色列的君王。
I Teacher I was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 我曾專心用智慧考查研究過天下所發生的一切；－－這實在是天主賜與人類的一項艱辛的工作。
And I gave heart my to study and to discover by wisdom on all that it has been done under the heavens it - [is] a task of evil [which] he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
14 我觀察了在太陽下所發生的一切：看，都是空虛，都是追風。
I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun and there! everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
15 彎曲的，不能使之正直，虧缺的，實在不可勝數。
[something] bent Not it is able to become straight and something missing not it is able to be numbered.
16 我心裏自語說：「看，我獲得了又大又多的智慧，勝過了所有在我以前住在耶路撒冷的人，我的心獲得了許多智慧和學問。」
I have spoken I with heart my saying I here! I have made great and I have increased wisdom above every [one] who he was before me over Jerusalem and heart my it has seen much wisdom and knowledge.
17 我再專心研究智慧和學問，愚昧和狂妄，我纔發覺：連這項工作也是追風。
And I gave! heart my to know wisdom and to know madness and folly I knew that also this it [is] a striving of wind.
18 因為，智慧愈多，煩惱愈多；學問越廣，憂慮越深。
For [is] in abundance of wisdom abundance of frustration so someone may increase knowledge he will increase pain.
