Ecclesiastes 12
1 And remember creator your in [the] days of youth your until that not they will come [the] days of evil and they will arrive years which you will say not [belongs] to me in them pleasure.
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of adversity come and the years approach of which you will say, “I find no pleasure in them,”
2 Until that not it will become dark the sun and the light and the moon and the stars and they will return the clouds after the rain.
before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,
3 In the day when they will tremble [the] keepers of the house and they will bend themselves [the] people of strength and they will cease the [female] grinders for they have become few and they will grow dim the [women who] look in the windows.
on the day the keepers of the house tremble and the strong men stoop, when those grinding cease because they are few and those watching through windows see dimly,
4 And they will be shut up [the] doors on the street when becomes low [the] sound of the grinding mill for someone may arise to [the] sound of bird and they may be reduced all [the] daughters of song.
when the doors to the street are shut and the sound of the mill fades away, when one rises at the sound of a bird and all the daughters of song grow faint,
5 Also from a high [place] people will be afraid and terrors [are] in the way and it may blossom the almond tree so it may drag itself along the grasshopper and it may fail the caper-berry for [is] going humankind to [the] house of perpetuity its and they will go about (in the street *L(abh)*) the mourners.
when men fear the heights and dangers of the road, when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper loses its spring, and the caper berry shrivels— for then man goes to his eternal home and mourners walk the streets.
6 Until that not (it will be snapped *Q(K)*) [the] cord of silver so it may be crushed [the] bowl of gold so it may be broken [the] jar at the water spring and it will be crushed the [water] wheel to the well.
Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is crushed, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,
7 And it will return the dust to the earth like which it was and the spirit it will return to God who he gave it.
before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
8 Futility of futilities he said the Teacher everything [is] futility.
“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile!”
9 And besides that he was Teacher wise again he taught knowledge the people and he weighed and he searched out he arranged in order proverbs [surely] a multitude.
Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.
10 sought Teacher to find words of delight and [what] was written uprightness [was] words of truth.
The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.
11 [the] words of Wise [people] [are] like goads and [are] like nails firmly fixed masters of collections they are given from a shepherd one.
The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.
12 And excess more than them O child my be warned to make books many there not [is] an end and study much [is] weariness of flesh.
And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.
13 [the] end of [the] matter Everything it has been heard God fear and commandments his keep for this [is] all humankind.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
14 For every deed God he will bring in judgment with every hidden thing whether good and or evil.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
