1.
שַׁלַּח לַחְמְךָ, עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם: כִּי-בְרֹב הַיָּמִים, תִּמְצָאֶנּוּ.
shallakh lakhmeka, al-penei hamayim: ki-verov hayamim, timtsa'enu.
Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days.
Hebrew to Tamil - Ecclesiastes - Chapter 11
← Homeof 12
2.
תֶּן-חֵלֶק לְשִׁבְעָה, וְגַם לִשְׁמוֹנָה: כִּי לֹא תֵדַע, מַה-יִּהְיֶה רָעָה עַל-הָאָרֶץ.
ten-khelek leshiv'ah, vegam lishmonah: ki lo teda, mah-yihyeh ra'ah al-ha'aretz.
Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3.
אִם-יִמָּלְאוּ הֶעָבִים גֶּשֶׁם עַל-הָאָרֶץ יָרִיקוּ, וְאִם-יִפּוֹל עֵץ בַּדָּרוֹם וְאִם בַּצָּפוֹן--מְקוֹם שֶׁיִּפּוֹל הָעֵץ, שָׁם יְהוּא.
im-yimale'u he'avim geshem al-ha'aretz yáriku, ve'im-yipol etz badarom ve'im batzafon--mekom sheyipol ha'etz, sham yehu.
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall in the south, or in the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.
4.
שֹׁמֵר רוּחַ, לֹא יִזְרָע; וְרֹאֶה בֶעָבִים, לֹא יִקְצוֹר.
shomer ruach, lo yizra; veroeh ve'avim, lo yiktzor.
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5.
כַּאֲשֶׁר אֵינְךָ יוֹדֵעַ מַה-דֶּרֶךְ הָרוּחַ, כַּעֲצָמִים בְּבֶטֶן הַמְּלֵאָה: כָּכָה, לֹא תֵדַע אֶת-מַעֲשֵׂה הָאֱלֹהִים, אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה, אֶת-הַכֹּל.
ka'asher eincha yode'a mah-derekh haruach, ka'atzamim bebeten hamle'ah: kakhah, lo teda et-ma'aseh haElohim, asher ya'aseh, et-hakol.
As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all things.
6.
בַּבֹּקֶר זְרַע אֶת-זַרְעֶךָ, וְלָעֶרֶב אַל-תַּנַּח יָדֶךָ: כִּי אֵינְךָ יוֹדֵעַ אֵי זֶה יִכְשָׁר, הֲזֶה אוֹ-זֶה, וְאִם-שְׁנֵיהֶם כְּאֶחָד, טוֹבִים.
baboker zera et-zar'ekha, vela'erev al-tanach yadekha: ki eincha yode'a ei zeh yikhshar, hazeh o-zeh, ve'im-sheneihem ke'echad, tovim.
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7.
וּמָתוֹק, הָאוֹר; וְטוֹב לַעֵינַיִם, לִרְאוֹת אֶת-הַשָּׁמֶשׁ.
umatok, ha'or; vetov la'enayim, li'rot et-hashamesh.
And the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.
8.
כִּי אִם-שָׁנִים הַרְבֵּה יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם, בְּכֻלָּם יִשְׂמָח; וְיִזְכֹּר אֶת-יְמֵי הַחֹשֶׁךְ, כִּי-הַרְבֵּה יִהְיוּ כָּל-שֶׁבָּא הָבֶל.
ki im-shanim harbeh yihyeh ha'adam, bekullam yismach; veyizkor et-yemei hachoshek, ki-harbeh yihyu kol-sheba habel.
For if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
9.
שְׂמַח בָּחוּר בְּיַלְדוּתֶיךָ, וִיטִיבְךָ לִבְּךָ בִּימֵי בְחוּרוֹתֶיךָ, וְהַלֵּךְ בְּדַרְכֵי לִבְּךָ, וּבְמַרְאֵי עֵינֶיךָ; וְדָע, כִּי עַל-כָּל-אֵלֶּה יְבִיאֲךָ הָאֱלֹהִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט.
semach bachur beyaldutekha, veyitivkha libkha bimei bechurotekha, vehalekh bedarkei libkha, uvmarei eineykha; veda, ki al-kol-eleh yevi'akha haElohim bamishpat.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
10.
וְהָסֵר כַּעַס מִלִּבֶּךָ, וְהַעֲבֵר רָעָה מִבְּשָׂרֶךָ: כִּי-הַיַּלְדוּת וְהַשַּׁחֲרוּת, הָבֶל.
vehaser ka'as millibekha, veha'aver ra'ah mibsearekha: ki-hayaldut vehashacharut, habel.
Therefore remove vexation from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
