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 also your Creator in days of your youth, While that the evil days do not come, Nor the years have arrived, that you say, “I have 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.

While that the sun is not darkened, and the light, And the moon, and the stars, And the thick clouds returned 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.

In the day that keepers of the house tremble, And men of strength have bowed themselves, And grinders have ceased, because they have become few. And those looking out at the windows have become dim,

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.

And doors have been shut in the street. When the noise of the grinding is low, And [one] rises at the voice of the bird, And all daughters of song are bowed down.

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.

Also of that which is high they are afraid, And of the low places in the way, And the almond-tree is despised, And the grasshopper has become a burden, And want is increased, For man is going to his perpetual home, And the mourners have gone around through the street.

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.

While that the silver cord is not removed, And the golden bowl broken, And the pitcher broken by the fountain, And the wheel 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.

And the dust returns to the earth as it was, And the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8 Futility of futilities he said the Teacher everything [is] futility.

Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, the whole [is] vanity.

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.

And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out—he made right many allegories.

10 sought Teacher to find words of delight and [what] was written uprightness [was] words of truth.

The preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and [that] written [by] the upright—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.

Words of the wise [are] as the goads, and as nails planted [by] the masters of collections, they have been given by one 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 further, from these, my son, be warned; the making of many scrolls has no end, and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh.

13 [the] end of [the] matter Everything it has been heard God fear and commandments his keep for this [is] all humankind.

The end of the whole matter let us hear: “Fear God, and keep His commands, for this [is] the whole of man.

14 For every deed God he will bring in judgment with every hidden thing whether good and or evil.

For every work God brings into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.”
