傳道者言く 空の空 空の空なる哉 都て空なり
3 What? profit [belongs] to humankind in all toil his that he toils under the sun.
日の下に人の勞して爲ところの諸の動作はその身に何の益かあらん

世は去り世は來る 地は永久に長存なり
5 And it rises the sun and it goes the sun and to place its [is] panting [is] rising it there.
日は出で日は入り またその出し處に喘ぎゆくなり
6 [it is] going To [the] south and [it is] circling to [the] north circling around - circling around [is] going the wind and on circuits its [is] returning the wind.
風は南に行き又轉りて北にむかひ 旋轉に旋りて行き 風復その旋轉る處にかへる。
7 All the rivers [are] going to the sea and the sea not it [is] full to [the] place where the rivers [are] going there they [are] returning to go.
河はみな海に流れ入る 海は盈ること無し 河はその出きたれる處に復還りゆくなり
8 All things [are] wearisome not he is able anyone to speak [them] not it is satisfied an eye by seeing and not it is filled an ear from hearing.
萬の物は勞苦す 人これを言つくすことあたはず 目は見に飽ことなく耳は聞に充ること無し
9 Whatever it has been it [is] which will be and whatever (which has been done *L(abh)*) it [is] which will be done and there not [is] any new [thing] under the sun.
曩に有し者はまた後にあるべし 曩に成し事はまた後に成べし 日の下には新しき者あらざるなり
10 [is] there? Anything that anyone will say see this [is] new it already it has been to ancient times which it was from to before us.

14 I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun and there! everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
我日の下に作ところの諸の行爲を見たり 嗚呼皆空にして風を捕ふるがごとし
15 [something] bent Not it is able to become straight and something missing not it is able to be numbered.
曲れる者は直からしむるあたはず缺たる者は數をあはするあたはず
16 I have spoken I with heart my saying I here! I have made great and I have increased wisdom above every [one] who he was before me over Jerusalem and heart my it has seen much wisdom and knowledge.
