9 what? advantage [the] to make: do in/on/with in which he/she/it laborious
What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
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 which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
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 their hearts, yet so that man can't find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the 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 to do good as long as 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
Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, 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 whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before 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
That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago: and God seeks again that which is passed away.
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
Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
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; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."
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 in my heart, "As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.
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 that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is vanity.
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 are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to 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
Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?
