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 a wise man? Who knows what the events in life mean? Wisdom in a 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 advise you to obey the king's command because of God's oath to protect him.
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 hurry out of his presence, and do not stand in support of something wrong, for the king does whatever he desires.
4 In that a word of a king [is] mastery and who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
The king's word rules, so who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
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 keeps the king's commands avoids harm. A wise man's heart recognizes the proper course and time of action.
6 For for every matter there [is] an appropriate time and a custom for [the] trouble of humankind [is] great on him.
For every matter there is a correct response and a time to respond, because the troubles of man are great.
7 For not he [is] knowing what? that will it be that just as it will be who? will he tell to him.
No one knows what is coming next. Who can tell him what is coming?
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.
No one is ruler over his breath so as to stop the breath, and no one has power over the day of his death. No one is discharged from the army during a battle, and wickedness will not rescue those who are its slaves.
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.
I have realized all this; I have applied my heart to every kind of work that is done under the sun. There is a time when a person oppresses another person to that person's hurt.
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.
So I saw the wicked buried publicly. They were taken from the holy area and buried and were praised by people in the city where they had done their wicked deeds. This also is uselessness.
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.
When a sentence against an evil crime is not executed quickly, it entices the hearts of human beings 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.
Even though a sinner does evil a hundred times and still lives a long time, yet I know that it will be better for those who respect God, for those who stand before him and show him respect.
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.
But it will not go well for a wicked man; his life will not be prolonged. His days are like a fleeting shadow because he does not honor 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 another useless vapor—something else that is done on the earth. Things happen to righteous people as they happen to wicked people, and things happen to wicked people as they happen to righteous people. I say that this also is useless vapor.
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.
So I recommend happiness, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat and drink and to be happy. It is happiness that will accompany him in his labor for all the days of his life that God has given 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 applied my heart to know wisdom and to understand the work that is done on the earth, work often done without sleep for the eyes at night or in the day,
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 of God's deeds, and that man cannot understand the work that is done under the sun. No matter how much a man labors to find the answers, he will not find them. Even though a wise man might believe he knows, he really does not.
