Ecclesiastes 11

1 to send: depart food: bread your upon face: surface [the] water for in/on/with abundance [the] day to find him

Give generously to others [some of] the money [MET] that you have; if you do that, later you will get back an equal amount.

2 to give: give portion to/for seven and also to/for eight for not to know what? to be distress: harm upon [the] land: country/planet

Share some of what you have with (seven or eight/several) [others], because you do not know when you will experience a disaster, [and if you give some of what you have to others], [when you experience that disaster, they will kindly help you].

3 if to fill [the] cloud rain upon [the] land: country/planet to empty and if to fall: fall tree in/on/with south and if in/on/with north place which/that to fall: fall [the] tree there to be

[It is always true that] when clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. [Similarly], wherever a tree falls on the ground, that is where it will remain.

4 to keep: look at spirit: breath not to sow and to see: see in/on/with cloud not to reap

If farmers see in what direction the wind is blowing, they will know whether it is wise at that time to plant things or not. [It is also true that] if farmers look at the clouds [and see that they are blowing from the west, which means that it will probably rain, ] they will not [try to] harvest their crops on that day.

5 like/as as which nothing you to know what? way: journey [the] spirit like/as bone in/on/with belly: womb [the] full thus not to know [obj] deed: work [the] God which to make [obj] [the] all

We do not know where the wind comes from or where it goes, and we do not know how bodies are formed in women’s wombs. Similarly [SIM], God is the one who made everything, and we cannot [fully] understand what God does.

6 in/on/with morning to sow [obj] seed your and to/for evening not to rest hand your for nothing you to know where? this to succeed this or this and if two their like/as one pleasant

[Start] planting your seeds in the morning, and do not stop planting them until the evening, because you do not know which ones will grow better, the ones you plant in the morning or the ones you plant later in the day, or whether both will grow well.

7 and sweet [the] light and pleasant to/for eye to/for to see: see [obj] [the] sun

It is very delightful to be alive and see [MTY] the sun [rise every morning].

8 that if: except if: except year to multiply to live [the] man in/on/with all their to rejoice and to remember [obj] day [the] darkness for to multiply to be all which/that to come (in): come vanity

[Even] if people live for many years, they should enjoy all of them. But they should not forget that [some day they will die] and then they will never be able to see any light again, and we do not know what will happen to us after we die.

9 to rejoice youth in/on/with youth your and be good you heart your in/on/with day youth your and to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct heart your and in/on/with appearance eye your and to know for upon all these to come (in): bring you [the] God in/on/with justice: judgement

You young people, be happy while you are still young. Enjoy [IDM] doing the things that you want to do. But do not forget that [some day] God will judge you concerning all the things that you do.

10 and to turn aside: remove vexation from heart your and to pass: bring distress: harm from flesh your for [the] youth and [the] dark hair vanity

[So when you are young] [MTY], do not worry about anything, and do not pay attention to the pains that you have in your body, because we will not remain young and strong forever.
