Ecclesiastes 3
1 Everything has its own time—a time for all that happens here:
to/for all time and time to/for all pleasure underneath: under [the] heaven
2 A time of birth, and a time of death. A time of planting, and a time of harvest.
time to/for to beget and time to/for to die time to/for to plant and time to/for to uproot to plant
3 A time of killing, and a time of healing. A time of tearing down, and a time of building up.
time to/for to kill and time to/for to heal time to/for to break through and time to/for to build

time to/for to weep and time to/for to laugh time to mourn and time to skip about
5 A time of throwing away stones, and a time of gathering up stones. A time of embracing, and a time of avoiding embracing.
time to/for to throw stone and time to gather stone time to/for to embrace and time to/for to remove from to embrace

9 So what do you get for all your hard work?
what? advantage [the] to make: do in/on/with in which he/she/it laborious
10 I have examined what God gives us to do.
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 Everything God does is beautifully timed, and even though he has also placed the idea of eternity in our minds, we can't fully understand what God does from beginning to end.
[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 I concluded that there's nothing better than being happy and looking for the good in life.
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 In addition everyone should eat and drink and enjoy their work—this is God's gift to us.
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 I also concluded that everything God does lasts forever: nothing can be added to it or taken away from it. God acts in this way so that people may stand in awe of him.
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 Whatever was, is; and whatever will be, has been, and God examines the whole of time.
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 I also observed that here on earth there was evil even in the place where there was supposed to be justice; even where things were meant to be right, there was evil.
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 But then I thought to myself, “Ultimately God will judge both those who do right and those who do wrong, and every deed and action, at the appointed time.”
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 I also thought to myself, “Regarding what happens to human beings—God proves to us that we're no better than animals.”
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 For what happens to human beings is the same as what happens to animals—in the same way one dies, the other dies too. They all have the breath of life—so regarding any advantage human beings have over animals, there is none. Definitely this is very hard to understand!
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 They all end up in the same place—they all came from dust, and they all return to dust.
[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 Who really knows whether the breath of life of human beings goes up above, and the breath of life of animals goes down below to the earth?
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 So I concluded that there's nothing better than for people to enjoy their work. This is what we are meant to do. For who can bring anyone back from the dead to show them what will happen after they die?
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
