< 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.
Look well to thy feet, when thou goest to the house of God, and draw nigh to hear, rather than to offer sacrifice as fools. For they consider 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 hasty with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be swift to utter any thing 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 cometh with much bustle, 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 vowest a vow to God, delay not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou hast vowed.
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 shouldst not vow than that thou shouldst 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.
Suffer not thy mouth to bring punishment on thy flesh, and say not before the angel, “It was a mistake.” Wherefore should God be angry on account of 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 a multitude of dreams is a multitude of vanities; so also in a multitude of 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 seest oppression of the poor, and justice and equity perverted in a province, be not alarmed at the matter. For over the high there is a higher, who watcheth, and there is one higher than they all.
9 And [the] profit of a land [is] in everything (it *Q(K)*) a king to a field he has been served.
An advantage to a land in all respects is a king over cultivated ground.
10 [one who] loves Silver not he will be satisfied silver and whoever [is] loving wealth not income also this [is] futility.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; and he that loveth riches shall have no profit from them. 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 that eat them; and what advantage hath the owner thereof, save 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.
Sweet is the sleep of a laboring man, whether he have eaten little or much; but the repletion of the rich will not suffer 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 sore evil which I have seen under the sun, — riches kept by the owner thereof 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.
For those riches perish by some calamity, and, if he have 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, so shall he go away again, as he came, and shall take away nothing of his labor which he may carry 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.
This is also a sore evil, that, in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit is there to him who toileth for wind?
17 Also all days his in darkness he eats and he is vexed greatly and sickness his and anger.
Also all his days he ate in darkness, and had much grief and anxiety and vexation.
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, what I have seen is, that it is good and proper for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor which he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him; for it 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.
To whatever man also God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him to enjoy them, 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 will not much remember the days of his life; for God answereth him with the joy of his heart.
