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
I turned myself to other things, and I saw the oppressions that are done under the sun, and the tears of the innocent, and they had no comforter; and they were not able to resist their violence, being destitute of help from any.
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 the dead rather than the living:
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
And I judged him happier than them both, that is not yet born, nor hath seen the evils that are 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
Again I considered all the labours of men, and I remarked that their industries are exposed to the envy of their neighhour: so in this also there is vanity, and fruitless care.
5 [the] fool to embrace [obj] hand his and to eat [obj] flesh his
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh, saying:
6 pleasant fullness palm quietness from fullness palm trouble and longing spirit: breath
Better is a handful with rest, than both hands full with labour, and vexation of mind.
7 and to return: again I and to see: see vanity underneath: under [the] sun
Considering I found also another 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 but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation.
9 pleasant [the] two from [the] one which there to/for them wages pleasant in/on/with trouble their
It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society:
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
If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none 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
And if two lie together, they shall warm one another: how shall one alone be warmed?
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 a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken.
13 pleasant youth poor and wise from king old and fool which not to know to/for to warn still
Better is a child that is poor and wise, than a king that is old and foolish, who knoweth not to foresee for hereafter.
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
Because out of prison and chains sometimes a man cometh forth to a kingdom: and another born king is consumed with poverty.
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 saw all men living, that walk under the sun with the second young man, who shall rise up in his 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
The number of the people, of all that were before him is infinite: and they that shall come afterwards, shall not rejoice in him: but this also is vanity, and vexation of spirit.
