2 I say, Keep the king's command, and that because of the oath of God.

I lip: word king to keep: obey and upon cause oath God

3 Be not hasty to go out of his presence. Persist not in an evil matter, for he does whatever pleases him.

4 For the king's word has power, and who may say to him, What are thou doing?

5 He who keeps a commandment shall know no evil thing. And a wise man's heart discerns the time and decision.

6 For to every purpose there is a time and decision, although the distress of man is great upon him.

7 For he knows not that which shall be, for who can tell him how it shall be?

8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, nor has he power over the day of death. And there is no discharge in war. Neither shall wickedness deliver him who is given to it.

nothing man domineering in/on/with spirit to/for to restrain [obj] [the] spirit and nothing power in/on/with day [the] death and nothing deputation in/on/with battle and not to escape wickedness [obj] master: owning his

9 All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

[obj] all this to see: see and to give: put [obj] heart my to/for all deed which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun time which to domineer [the] man in/on/with man to/for bad: evil to/for him

10 So I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were praised in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

and in/on/with so to see: see wicked to bury and to come (in): come and from place holy to go: went and to forget in/on/with city which right to make: do also this vanity

11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

which nothing to make: do edict deed [the] distress: evil haste upon so to fill heart son: child [the] man in/on/with them to/for to make: do bad: evil

12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and prolongs his days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with those who fear God, who fear before him.

which to sin to make: do bad: evil hundred and to prolong to/for him for also to know I which to be pleasant to/for afraid [the] God which to fear: revere from to/for face: before his

13 But it shall not be well with a wicked man, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he did not fear before God.

and pleasant not to be to/for wicked and not to prolong day like/as shadow which nothing he afraid from to/for face: before God

14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked, again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

there vanity which to make: do upon [the] land: country/planet which there righteous which to touch to(wards) them like/as deed [the] wicked and there wicked which/that to touch to(wards) them like/as deed [the] righteous to say which/that also this vanity

15 Then I commended joy, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be cheerful. For that shall abide with him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

and to praise I [obj] [the] joy which nothing pleasant to/for man underneath: under [the] sun that if: except if: except to/for to eat and to/for to drink and to/for to rejoice and he/she/it to join him in/on/with trouble his day life his which to give: give to/for him [the] God underneath: under [the] sun

16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is he who sees sleep with his eyes neither day nor night),

like/as as which to give: put [obj] heart my to/for to know wisdom and to/for to see: see [obj] [the] task which to make: do upon [the] land: country/planet for also in/on/with day and in/on/with night sleep in/on/with eye: appearance his nothing he to see: see

17 then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. Because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Yea moreover, though a wise man thinks to know it, yet he shall not be able to find it.

and to see: see [obj] all deed: work [the] God for not be able [the] man to/for to find [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun in/on/with which/that to/for which to toil [the] man to/for to seek and not to find and also if to say [the] wise to/for to know not be able to/for to find
