Ecclesiastes 4

1 and to return: again I and to see: see [obj] all [the] oppression which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun and behold tears [the] oppression and nothing to/for them to be sorry: comfort and from hand: themselves to oppress them strength and nothing to/for them to be sorry: comfort

So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun: and behold the tear of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter:

2 and to praise I [obj] [the] to die which/that already to die from [the] alive which they(masc.) alive still [to]

and I praised all the dead that had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now.

3 and pleasant from two their [obj] which still not to be which not to see: see [obj] [the] deed [the] bad: evil which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun

Better also than both these is he who has not yet been, who has not seen all the evil work that is done under the sun.

4 and to see: see I [obj] all trouble and [obj] all skill [the] deed: work for he/she/it jealousy man: anyone from neighbor his also this vanity and longing spirit: breath

And I saw all labour, and all the diligent work, that this is a man's envy from his neighbour. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.

5 [the] fool to embrace [obj] hand his and to eat [obj] flesh his

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

6 pleasant fullness palm quietness from fullness palm trouble and longing spirit: breath

Better is a handful of rest than two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit.

7 and to return: again I and to see: see vanity underneath: under [the] sun

So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.

8 there one and nothing second also son: child and brother: male-sibling nothing to/for him and nothing end to/for all trouble his also (eye his *Q(K)*) not to satisfy riches and to/for who? I laborious and to lack [obj] soul: myself my from welfare also this vanity and task bad: harmful he/she/it

There is one [alone], and there is not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

9 pleasant [the] two from [the] one which there to/for them wages pleasant in/on/with trouble their

Two [are] better than one, [seeing] they have a good reward for their labour.

10 that if: except if: except to fall: fall [the] one to arise: raise [obj] companion his and to/for woe! him [the] one which/that to fall: fall and nothing second to/for to arise: raise him

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls, and there is not a second to lift him up.

11 also if to lie down: lay down two and to warm to/for them and to/for one how? to warm

Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed [alone?]

12 and if to prevail him [the] one [the] two to stand: stand before him and [the] thread [the] to do three not in/on/with haste to tear

And if one should prevail against [him], the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be quickly broken.

13 pleasant youth poor and wise from king old and fool which not to know to/for to warn still

Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer.

14 for from house: home [the] to bind to come out: come to/for to reign for also in/on/with royalty his to beget be poor

For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, because [he] also that was in his kingdom has become poor.

15 to see: see [obj] all [the] alive [the] to go: walk underneath: under [the] sun with [the] youth [the] second which to stand: stand underneath: instead him

I beheld all the living who were walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each one's place.

16 nothing end to/for all [the] people to/for all which to be to/for face: before their also [the] last not to rejoice in/on/with him for also this vanity and striving spirit: breath

There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
