Ecclesiastes 3
1 To everything—a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:
Katram darbam ir nolikts laiks un katram nodomam apakš debess ir savs brīdis.
2 A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.
Savs laiks piedzimt, savs laiks mirt, savs laiks dēstīt un savs laiks dēstīto ravēt.
3 A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down, And a time to build up.
Savs laiks nokaut un savs laiks dziedināt, savs laiks nolauzt un savs laiks uzcelt.
4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a time to skip.
Savs laiks raudāt un savs laiks smieties, savs laiks vaidēt un savs laiks diet.
5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing.
Savs laiks akmeņus mest un savs laiks akmeņus kraut, savs laiks apkampt un savs laiks šķirties.
6 A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.
Savs laiks meklēt un savs laiks zaudēt, savs laiks glabāt un savs laiks nomest.
7 A time to tear, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.
Savs laiks saplēst un savs laiks sašūt, savs laiks klusu ciest un savs laiks runāt.
8 A time to love, And a time to hate. A time of war, And a time of peace.
Savs laiks mīlēt un savs laiks nīdēt, savs laiks karam un savs laiks mieram.
9 What advantage does the doer have in that which he is laboring at?
Kāds labums strādniekam no sava pūliņa?
10 I have seen the travail that God has given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.
Es esmu redzējis grūtumu, ko Dievs cilvēku bērniem uzlicis, ar to mocīties.
11 The whole He has made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He has put in their heart without which man does not find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
Viņš visu jauki ir darījis savā laikā; pat mūžību viņš licis viņu sirdīs; tik cilvēks nevar izprast Dieva darbu, ne viņa iesākumu, ne galu.
12 I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,
Es samanīju, ka priekš viņiem nekas nav labāks, nekā priecāties un labu darīt savā laikā,
13 indeed, even every man who eats and has drunk and seen good by all his labor, it [is] a gift of God.
Un ka ikkatrs cilvēks ēd un dzer un ko laba bauda pie visa sava pūliņa: tā ir Dieva dāvana.
14 I have known that all that God does is for all time, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God has worked that they fear before Him.
Es zinu, ka viss, ko Dievs dara, tas paliek mūžīgi, tam neko nevar pielikt nedz no tā ko atraut, un Dievs to dara, lai Viņu bīstas.
15 What is that which has been? Already it is, and that which [is] to be has already been, and God requires that which is pursued.
Kas jau bijis, tas tagad ir, un kas vēl būs, tas jau bijis; un Dievs atjauno to, kas bija pagājis.
16 And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment—there [is] the wicked; and the place of righteousness—there [is] the wicked.
Un es vēl pasaulē esmu redzējis tiesas vietu, - tur bija bezdievība, un taisnības vietu, - tur bija bezdievība.
17 I said in my heart, “The righteous and the wicked God judges, for a time [is] to every matter and for every work there.”
Es sacīju savā sirdi: Dievs tiesās taisno un bezdievīgo; jo katram nodomam ir tur savs laiks, un visi darbi (taps tiesāti).
18 I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves [are] beasts.
Es sacīju savā sirdī: tas ir cilvēku bērnu dēļ, Dievs tos grib pārbaudīt un tiem rādīt, ka tie paši par sevi ir kā lopi.
19 For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to] the beasts, even one event [is] to them; as the death of this, so [is] the death of that; and one spirit [is] to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole [is] vanity.
Jo kāds cilvēku bērnu liktenis, tāds lopu liktenis; tiem ir viens liktenis: kā viens mirst, tā otrs mirst, - tiem visiem ir viena dvaša, un cilvēks nav pārāks pār lopiem; jo viss ir niecība.
20 The whole are going to one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back to the dust.
Visi noiet vienā vietā, visi ir no pīšļiem un visi griežas atpakaļ pīšļos.
21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of man that is going up on high, and the spirit of the beast that is going down below to the earth?
Kas pārmana cilvēku bērnu dvašu, vai tā augšup iet, un lopu dvašu, vai tā lejup nokāpj?
22 And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man rejoice in his works, for it [is] his portion; for who brings him to look on that which is after him?
Tādēļ es redzēju, ka nekas nav labāks, nekā ka cilvēks priecājās pie sava darba; jo tā ir viņa daļa. Jo kas viņu vedīs tai vietā, kur tas varētu redzēt, kas pēc viņa notiks?
