Ecclesiastes 6
1 I have seen something [else here] on this earth that troubles people.
Ir ļaunums, ko es redzēju pasaulē, kas grūti panesams cilvēkiem:
2 God enables some people to get a lot of money and possessions and to be honored; they have everything [LIT] that they want. But God [sometimes] does not allow them to continue to enjoy those things. Someone else gets them and enjoys them. That seems senseless and unfair.
Vīrs, kam Dievs devis bagātību un mantu un godu, un viņam priekš savas sirds nekāda trūkuma nav no visa, kas tik viņam gribās, un Dievs viņam nedod vaļas no tā ēst, bet svešs vīrs to apēd; tā ir niecība un liels ļaunums.
3 Someone might have 100 children and live for many years. But if he is not able to enjoy the things that he has acquired, and if he is not buried [properly after he dies], [I say that] a child that is dead when it is born is more fortunate.
Ja vīrs simts bērnus dzemdinātu un daudz gadus dzīvotu, un tam būtu garš mūžs, un viņa dvēsele nebautītu no tā labuma, un tam arī netiktu ne kapa vieta, tad es saku, ka nelaika(nedzīvi piedzimušam) bērnam labāki ir nekā tādam.
4 That dead baby’s birth is meaningless; it does not even have a name. It goes directly to the place where there is only darkness.
Jo niecībā šis nāk, un tumsībā šis aiziet, un ar tumsību šī vārds top aizklāts.
5 It does not [live to] see the sun or know anything. But it finds more rest than rich people do [who are alive].
Arī sauli šis nav redzējis nedz atzinis, - šim labāka dusa nekā tam.
6 Even if people could live for 2,000 years, if they do not enjoy the things that God gives to them, [it would have been better for them never to have been born]. [All people who live a long time] certainly [RHQ] all go to the same place— [to the grave].
Un jebšu tas divtūkstoš gadus dzīvotu un laba neredzētu, - vai visi nenoiet uz vienu vietu?
7 People work hard to [earn enough money to buy] food to eat [MTY], but [often] they never get enough to eat.
Viss cilvēka pūliņš ir priekš viņa mutes, bet sirds no tā nepaēdās.
8 So it seems that [RHQ] wise people do not receive more lasting benefits than foolish people do. And it seems that [RHQ] poor people do not benefit from knowing how to conduct their lives.
Jo kas atlec gudram vairāk nekā ģeķim? Kas nabagam, kas zin staigāt cilvēku vidū?
9 It is better to enjoy the things that we already have [MTY] than to constantly want more things; continually wanting more things is [senseless], [like] the wind.
Labāki ir acīm redzēt, nekā sirdī iekārot; arī tā ir niecība un grābstīšanās pēc vēja.
10 All the things that exist [on the earth] have been given names. And everyone knows what people are like, [so] it is useless to argue with someone (OR, with God) who is stronger than we are.
Kas notiek, tā vārds jau sen ir nosaukts, un ir nolikts, kas cilvēks būs, un viņš nespēj tiesāties ar to, kas ir stiprāks nekā viņš.
11 The more [that we] talk, the more [often we say things that are] senseless, so it certainly does not [RHQ] benefit us to talk a lot.
Tiešām, daudz vārdu ir, kas vairo niecību; un kas tur cilvēkam atlec?
12 We live for only a short time; we disappear like [SIM] a shadow disappears [in the sunlight]. No one [RHQ] knows what is best for us while we are alive, and no one [RHQ] knows what will happen to us after we die [EUP].
Jo kas zin, kas cilvēkam ir par labu šinī mūžā, ko viņš savā niecībā pavada kā ēnu? Jo kas cilvēkam var stāstīt, kas pēc viņa notiks pasaulē?
