< Ecclesiastes 5 >
1 Keep thy foot, when thou goest into the house of God, and draw nigh to hear. For much better is obedience, than the victims of fools, who know not what evil they do.
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 Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
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 Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly.
For it comes the dream with abundance of business and [the] voice a fool with a multitude of words.
4 If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.
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 And it is much better not to vow, than after a vow not to perform the things promised.
[is] good That not you will vow (more than what you will vow *L(abh)*) and not you will pay.
6 Give not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin: and say not before the angel: There is no providence: lest God be angry at thy words, and destroy all the works of thy hands.
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 Where there are many dreams, there are many vanities, and words without number: but do thou fear God.
For in abundance of dreams and futilities and words many for God fear.
8 If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these:
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 Moreover there is the king that reigneth over all the land subject to him.
And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
10 A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity.
[one who] loves Silver not he will be satisfied silver and whoever [is] loving wealth not income also this [is] futility.
11 Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes?
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 Sleep is sweet to a labouring man, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
[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 There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner.
There [is] an evil severe [which] I have seen under the sun wealth [was] being kept by owner its to harm his.
14 For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want.
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 As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and shall take nothing away with him of his labour.
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 A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?
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 All the days of his life he eateth in darkness, and in many cares, and in misery, and sorrow.
Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
18 This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion.
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 And every man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to enjoy his portion, and to rejoice of his labour: this is the gift of God.
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 For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God entertaineth his heart with delight,
For not [surely] much he will remember [the] days of life his for God [is] keeping busy with [the] joy of heart his.
