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, thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt 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.

before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars become dark, 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.

at the time when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened;

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 are shut in the streets, while the sound of the mill is low; when they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music are brought low;

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 also they are afraid of that which is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the locust is a burden, and the caper-berry is powerless; since man goeth to his eternal home, and the mourners go about 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.

before the silver cord be snapped asunder, and the golden bowl be crushed, or the bucket broken at the fountain, or the wheel shattered 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 return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.

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

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all 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.

Moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he considered, and sought out, and set in order, many proverbs.

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

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and to write correctly 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 as goads; yea, as nails driven in are the words of members of assemblies, 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, moreover, by these, my son, be warned! To the multiplying of books there is no end, and much study wearieth the flesh.

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

Let us hear the end of the whole discourse! Fear God and keep his commandments! For this is the duty of every 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 work into the judgment which there is upon every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
