Ecclesiastes 8

1 Who? [is] like the wise [person] and who? [is] knowing [the] interpretation of a matter [the] wisdom of anyone it makes shine face his and [the] strength of face his it is changed.

Who [is] as the wise? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causes his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2 I [the] mouth of a king keep and on [the] cause of [the] oath of God.

I [counsel]: keep the command of a king, even for the sake of an oath [to] God.

3 May not you be hasty from before him you will go may not you stand in a matter evil for all that he will desire he will do.

Do not be troubled at his presence, you may go, do not stand in an evil thing, for all that he pleases he does.

4 In that a word of a king [is] mastery and who? will he say to him what? are you doing.

Where the word of a king [is] power [is], and who says to him, “What do you do?”

5 [one who] keeps A command not he will know a thing evil and an appropriate time and custom it will know a heart wise.

Whoever is keeping a command knows no evil thing, and time and judgment the heart of the wise knows.

6 For for every matter there [is] an appropriate time and a custom for [the] trouble of humankind [is] great on him.

For to every delight there is a time and a judgment, for the misfortune of man is great on him.

7 For not he [is] knowing what? that will it be that just as it will be who? will he tell to him.

For he does not know that which will be, for when it will be who declares to him?

8 There not [is] anyone having mastery over the wind to restrain the wind and there not [is] mastery over [the] day of death and there not [is] discharge in the battle and not it will rescue wickedness owners its.

There is no man ruling over the spirit to restrain the spirit, and there is no authority over the day of death, and there is no discharge in battle, and wickedness does not deliver its possessors.

9 All this I have seen and I have given heart my to every deed which it is done under the sun a time when he domineers person over a person for evil of him.

All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; a time that man has ruled over man to his own evil.

10 And in such I have seen wicked [people] being buried and they came and from a place of holy they went and they may be forgotten in the city where right they had done also this [is] futility.

And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in, even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done. This [is] also vanity.

11 That not it is done [the] sentence of [the] deed of the evil quickly there-fore it is full [the] heart of [the] children of humankind in them to do evil.

Because sentence has not been done [on] an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil.

12 That a sinner [is] doing evil a hundred [times] and [he is] prolonging for himself for also [am] knowing I that it will belong good to [those] fearing God that they fear from to before him.

Though a sinner is doing evil one hundred [times], and prolonging [himself] for it, surely also I know that there is good to those fearing God, who fear before Him.

13 And good not it will belong to the wicked and not he will prolong days like shadow that not he he has feared from to before God.

And good is not to the wicked, and he does not prolong days as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God.

14 There [is] futility which it is done on the earth that - there [are] righteous [people] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of wicked [people] and there [are] wicked [people] [to] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of righteous [people] I said that also this [is] futility.

There is a vanity that has been done on the earth, that there are righteous ones to whom it is coming according to the work of the wicked, and there are wicked ones to whom it is coming according to the work of the righteous. I have said that this [is] also vanity.

15 And I commend I gladness that not good [belongs] to humankind under the sun that except to eat and to drink and to be happy and that it will accompany him in toil his [the] days of life his which he has given to him God under the sun.

And I have praised mirth because there is no good to man under the sun except to eat and to drink, and to rejoice, and it remains with him of his labor the days of his life that God has given to him under the sun.

16 When I gave heart my to know wisdom and to see the task which it is done on the earth for also in day and in night sleep in view his not he [is] seeing.

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that has been done on the earth (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night),

17 And I saw all [the] work of God that not he is able humankind to find out the work which it is done under the sun in that that he toils humankind to seek and not he will find out and also if he will say the wise [person] to know not he will be able to find out.

then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that has been done under the sun, because though man labor to seek, yet he does not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find.
