Ecclesiastes 5

1 to keep: guard (foot your *Q(K)*) like/as as which to go: went to(wards) house: temple [the] God and to present: come to/for to hear: hear from to give: give [the] fool sacrifice for nothing they to know to/for to make: do bad: evil

Guard thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be ready to hearken: it is better than when fools give sacrifices; for they know not that they do evil.

2 not to dismay upon lip your and heart your not to hasten to/for to come out: speak word to/for face: before [the] God for [the] God in/on/with heaven and you(m. s.) upon [the] land: country/planet upon so to be word your little

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.

3 for to come (in): come [the] dream in/on/with abundance task and voice fool in/on/with abundance word

For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.

4 like/as as which to vow vow to/for God not to delay to/for to complete him for nothing pleasure in/on/with fool [obj] which to vow to complete

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools; pay that which thou vowest.

5 pleasant which not to vow (from which/that to vow *L(abh)*) and not to complete

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 not to give: allow [obj] lip your to/for to sin [obj] flesh your and not to say to/for face: before [the] messenger for unintentionally he/she/it to/for what? be angry [the] God upon voice your and to destroy [obj] deed: work hand your

Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

7 for in/on/with abundance dream and vanity and word to multiply for [obj] [the] God to fear: revere

For through the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but fear thou God.

8 if oppression be poor and robbery justice and righteousness to see: see in/on/with province not to astounded upon [the] pleasure for high from upon high to keep: look at and high upon them

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.

9 and advantage land: country/planet in/on/with all (he/she/it *Q(K)*) king to/for land: country to serve: labour

But the profit of a land every way is a king that maketh himself servant to the field.

10 to love: lover silver: money not to satisfy silver: money and who? to love: lover in/on/with crowd not produce also this vanity

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase; this also is vanity.

11 in/on/with to multiply [the] welfare to multiply to eat her and what? skill to/for master her that if: except if: except (sight *Q(K)*) eye his

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?

12 sweet sleep [the] to serve: labour if little and if to multiply to eat and [the] abundance to/for rich nothing he to rest to/for him to/for to sleep

Sweet is the sleep of a labouring man, whether he eat little or much; but the satiety of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

13 there distress: evil be weak: grieved to see: see underneath: under [the] sun riches to keep: guard to/for master his to/for distress: harm his

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt;

14 and to perish [the] riches [the] he/she/it in/on/with task bad: harmful and to beget son: child and nothing in/on/with hand his anything

and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

15 like/as as which to come out: come from belly: womb mother his naked to return: again to/for to go: went like/as which/that to come (in): come and anything not to lift: raise in/on/with trouble his which/that to go: take in/on/with hand his

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he go back as he came, and shall take nothing for his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

16 and also this distress: evil be weak: grieved all close which/that to come (in): come so to go: went and what? advantage to/for him which/that to toil to/for spirit: breath

And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go; and what profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind?

17 also all day his in/on/with darkness to eat and to provoke to multiply and sickness his and wrath

All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much vexation and sickness and wrath.

18 behold which to see: see I pleasant which beautiful to/for to eat and to/for to drink and to/for to see: enjoy welfare in/on/with all trouble his which/that to toil underneath: under [the] sun number day (life his *Q(k)*) which to give: give to/for him [the] God for he/she/it portion his

Behold that which I have seen: it is good, yea, it is comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy pleasure for all his labour, wherein he laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him; for this is his portion.

19 also all [the] man which to give: give to/for him [the] God riches and wealth and to domineer him to/for to eat from him and to/for to lift: bear [obj] portion his and to/for to rejoice in/on/with trouble his this gift God he/she/it

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour — this is the gift of God.

20 for not to multiply to remember [obj] day life his for [the] God to afflict in/on/with joy heart his

For let him remember the days of his life that they are not many; for God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
