< Ecclesiastes 5 >
1 Guard (foot your *Q(K)*) when you will go to [the] house of God and draw near to listen more than giving the fools a sacrifice for not they [are] knowing to do evil.
Keep thy foot when thou go to the house of God, for to draw near to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools. For they know not that they do evil.
2 May not you be hasty on mouth your and heart your may not it hasten to bring forth a matter before God for God [is] in the heavens and you [are] on the earth there-fore let them be words your few.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth. Therefore let thy words be few.
3 For it comes the dream with abundance of business and [the] voice a fool with a multitude of words.
For a dream comes with a multitude of business, and a fool's voice with a multitude of words.
4 When you will vow a vow to God may not you delay to pay it for there not [is] pleasure in fools [that] which you will vow pay.
When thou vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou vow.
5 [is] good That not you will vow (more than what you will vow *L(abh)*) and not you will pay.
Better is it that thou should not vow, than that thou should vow and not pay.
6 May not you permit mouth your to cause to sin flesh your and may not you say before the messenger that [was] inadvertence it why? will he be angry God towards voice your and he will destroy [the] work of hands your.
Do not allow thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin, nor say thou before the agent, that is was an error. Why should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
7 For in abundance of dreams and futilities and words many for God fear.
For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words. But fear thou God.
8 If oppression of a poor person and robbery of justice and righteousness you will see in the province do not be astonished on the matter for a high [one] over a high [one] [is] watching and high [ones] over them.
If thou see the oppression of a poor man, and the violent wresting of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter. For a man higher than the high is observing, and there are higher men than they.
9 And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
Moreover the abundance of the land is for all. The king himself is served by the field.
10 [one who] loves Silver not he will be satisfied silver and whoever [is] loving wealth not income also this [is] futility.
He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
11 When increases the good they increase [those who] consume it and what? profit [belongs] to owner its that except ([the] sight of *Q(K)*) eyes his.
When goods increase, they are increased who eat them. And what advantage is there to the owner of it, except the beholding of them with his eyes?
12 [is] sweet [the] sleep of The laborer whether a little and or [surely] much he will eat and the plenty of the rich [person] not it [is] permitting him to sleep.
The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the fullness of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
13 There [is] an evil severe [which] I have seen under the sun wealth [was] being kept by owner its to harm his.
There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches were kept by the owner of it to his hurt.
14 And it was lost the wealth that in a business of evil and he fathered a son and not [was] in hand his anything.
And those riches perish in a bad venture. And if he has begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 Just as he came out from [the] womb of mother his naked he will return to go when he came and anything not he will carry in toil his that he may take in hand his.
As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 And also this [is] an evil severe like exactly as [that] which came so he will go and what? [is the] profit [belongs] to him that he will toil for the wind.
And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he that he labored for the wind?
17 Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
All his days also he eats in gloom, and he is greatly troubled, and has depression and anger.
18 Here! [that] which I have seen I [to be] good [that] which [is] beautiful [is] to eat and to drink and to see good in all toil his - that someone will toil under the sun [the] number of [the] days of (life his *Q(k)*) which he has given to him God for that [is] portion his.
Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be fitting is for a man to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor in which he labors under the sun all the days of his life which God has given him, for this is his portion.
19 Also every person whom he has given to him God wealth and riches and he has given power him to eat from it and to receive portion his and to rejoice in toil his this [is] a gift of God it.
Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God.
20 For not [surely] much he will remember [the] days of life his for God [is] keeping busy with [the] joy of heart his.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God answers him in the joy of his heart.
