Ecclesiastes 3
1 to/for all time and time to/for all pleasure underneath: under [the] heaven
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 time to/for to beget and time to/for to die time to/for to plant and time to/for to uproot to plant
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 time to/for to kill and time to/for to heal time to/for to break through and time to/for to build
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build,
4 time to/for to weep and time to/for to laugh time to mourn and time to skip about
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 time to/for to throw stone and time to gather stone time to/for to embrace and time to/for to remove from to embrace
a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 time to/for to seek and time to/for to perish time to/for to keep: guard and time to/for to throw
a time to search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard,
7 time to/for to tear and time to/for to sew time to/for be silent and time to/for to speak: speak
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 time to/for to love: lover and time to/for to hate time battle and time peace
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
9 what? advantage [the] to make: do in/on/with in which he/she/it laborious
What does the worker gain from his toil?
10 to see: see [obj] [the] task which to give: give God to/for son: child [the] man to/for be occupied in/on/with him
I have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them.
11 [obj] [the] all to make beautiful in/on/with time his also [obj] [the] forever: enduring to give: put in/on/with heart their from without which not to find [the] man [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do [the] God from head: first and till end
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
12 to know for nothing pleasant in/on/with them that if: except if: except to/for to rejoice and to/for to make: do pleasant in/on/with life his
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
13 and also all [the] man which/that to eat and to drink and to see: enjoy good in/on/with all trouble his gift God he/she/it
and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
14 to know for all which to make: do [the] God he/she/it to be to/for forever: enduring upon him nothing to/for to add and from him nothing to/for to dimish and [the] God to make: do which/that to fear: revere from to/for face: before his
I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
15 what? which/that to be already he/she/it and which to/for to be already to be and [the] God to seek [obj] to pursue
What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
16 and still to see: see underneath: under [the] sun place [the] justice there [to] [the] wickedness and place [the] righteousness there [to] [the] wickedness
Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
17 to say I in/on/with heart my [obj] [the] righteous and [obj] [the] wicked to judge [the] God for time to/for all pleasure and upon all [the] deed there
I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
18 to say I in/on/with heart my upon cause son: child [the] man to/for to purify them [the] God and to/for to see: see which/that they(masc.) animal they(masc.) to/for them
I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
19 for accident son: child [the] man and accident [the] animal and accident one to/for them like/as death this so death this and spirit: breath one to/for all and advantage [the] man from [the] animal nothing for [the] all vanity
For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
20 [the] all to go: went to(wards) place one [the] all to be from [the] dust and [the] all to return: return to(wards) [the] dust
All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
21 who? to know spirit son: descendant/people [the] man [the] to ascend: rise he/she/it to/for above [to] and spirit [the] animal [the] to go down he/she/it to/for beneath to/for land: soil
Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and the spirit of the animal descends into the earth?
22 and to see: see for nothing pleasant from whence to rejoice [the] man in/on/with deed: work his for he/she/it portion his for who? to come (in): bring him to/for to see: see in/on/with what? which/that to be after him
I have seen that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will come after him?
