Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep your foot when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
你到 神的殿要谨慎脚步；因为近前听，胜过愚昧人献祭，他们本不知道所做的是恶。
2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few.
你在 神面前不可冒失开口，也不可心急发言；因为 神在天上，你在地下，所以你的言语要寡少。
3 For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
事务多，就令人做梦；言语多，就显出愚昧。
4 When you vow a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.
你向 神许愿，偿还不可迟延，因他不喜悦愚昧人，所以你许的愿应当偿还。
5 Better is it that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
你许愿不还，不如不许。
6 Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
不可任你的口使肉体犯罪，也不可在祭司面前说是错许了。为何使 神因你的声音发怒，败坏你手所做的呢？
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear you God.
多梦和多言，其中多有虚幻，你只要敬畏 神。
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regards; and there be higher than they.
你若在一省之中见穷人受欺压，并夺去公义公平的事，不要因此诧异；因有一位高过居高位的鉴察，在他们以上还有更高的。
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
况且地的益处归众人，就是君王也受田地的供应。
10 He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
贪爱银子的，不因得银子知足；贪爱丰富的，也不因得利益知足。这也是虚空。
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
货物增添，吃的人也增添，物主得什么益处呢？不过眼看而已！
12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
劳碌的人不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜；富足人的丰满却不容他睡觉。
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
我见日光之下有一宗大祸患，就是财主积存资财，反害自己。
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he bring forths a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
因遭遇祸患，这些资财就消灭；那人若生了儿子，手里也一无所有。
15 As he came out of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
他怎样从母胎赤身而来，也必照样赤身而去；他所劳碌得来的，手中分毫不能带去。
16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has laboured for the wind?
他来的情形怎样，他去的情形也怎样。这也是一宗大祸患。他为风劳碌有什么益处呢？
17 All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
并且他终身在黑暗中吃喝，多有烦恼，又有病患呕气。
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion.
我所见为善为美的，就是人在 神赐他一生的日子吃喝，享受日光之下劳碌得来的好处，因为这是他的分。
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
神赐人资财丰富，使他能以吃用，能取自己的分，在他劳碌中喜乐，这乃是 神的恩赐。
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart.
他不多思念自己一生的年日，因为 神应他的心使他喜乐。
