1.
מִי, כְּהֶחָכָם, וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ, פֵּשֶׁר דָּבָר; חָכְמַת אָדָם תָּאִיר פָּנָיו, וְעֹז פָּנָיו יְשֻׁנֶּא.
mi, khehacham, umi yode'a, pesher davar; chachmat adam ta'ir panav, ve'oz panav yeshunne.
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face is changed.
2.
אֲנִי, פִּי-מֶלֶךְ שְׁמֹר, וְעַל, דִּבְרַת שְׁבוּעַת אֱלֹהִים.
Ani, pi-melekh shemor, ve'al, divrat shevu'at Elohim.
I [counsel thee]: keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God.
3.
אַל-תִּבָּהֵל מִפָּנָיו תֵּלֵךְ, אַל-תַּעֲמֹד בְּדָבָר רָע: כִּי כָּל-אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ, יַעֲשֶׂה.
Al-tivahel mipanav telekh, al-ta'amod be'davar ra: ki kol-asher yakhpotz, ya'aseh.
Be not hasty to go out of his presence; stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4.
בַּאֲשֶׁר דְּבַר-מֶלֶךְ, שִׁלְטוֹן; וּמִי יֹאמַר-לוֹ, מַה-תַּעֲשֶׂה.
Ba'asher devar-melekh, shilton; umi yomar-lo, mah-ta'aseh.
Forasmuch as the king's word hath power; and who may say unto him: 'What doest thou?'
5.
שׁוֹמֵר מִצְוָה, לֹא יֵדַע דָּבָר רָע; וְעֵת וּמִשְׁפָּט, יֵדַע לֵב חָכָם.
Shomer mitzvah, lo yeda davar ra; ve'et umishpat, yeda lev khakham.
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment.
6.
כִּי לְכָל-חֵפֶץ, יֵשׁ עֵת וּמִשְׁפָּט: כִּי-רָעַת הָאָדָם, רַבָּה עָלָיו.
ki lekhol-chefetz, yesh et umishpat: ki-ra'at ha'adam, raba alayiv.
For to every matter there is a time and judgment; for the evil of man is great upon him.
7.
כִּי-אֵינֶנּוּ יֹדֵעַ, מַה-שֶּׁיִּהְיֶה: כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה, מִי יַגִּיד לוֹ.
ki-einennu yode'a, mah-sheyihyeh: ki ka'asher yihyeh, mi yagid lo.
For he knoweth not that which shall be; for even when it cometh to pass, who shall declare it unto him?
8.
אֵין אָדָם שַׁלִּיט בָּרוּחַ, לִכְלוֹא אֶת-הָרוּחַ, וְאֵין שִׁלְטוֹן בְּיוֹם הַמָּוֶת, וְאֵין מִשְׁלַחַת בַּמִּלְחָמָה; וְלֹא-יְמַלֵּט רֶשַׁע, אֶת-בְּעָלָיו.
ein adam shallit baru'ach, likhlo'a et-haru'ach, ve'ein shilton beyom hammavet, ve'ein mishlachat bammilchamah; velo-yemallet resha', et-be'alayiv.
There is no man that hath power over the wind to retain the wind; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.
9.
אֶת-כָּל-זֶה רָאִיתִי, וְנָתוֹן אֶת-לִבִּי, לְכָל-מַעֲשֶׂה, אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ: עֵת, אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַט הָאָדָם בְּאָדָם--לְרַע לוֹ.
et-kol-zeh ra'iti, venaton et-libbi, lekhol-ma'aseh, asher na'asah tachat hashamesh: et, asher shalat ha'adam be'adam--lera'o lo.
All this have I seen, even applied my heart thereto, whatever the work that is done under the sun; what time one man had power over another to his hurt.
10.
וּבְכֵן רָאִיתִי רְשָׁעִים קְבֻרִים וָבָאוּ, וּמִמְּקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ יְהַלֵּכוּ, וְיִשְׁתַּכְּחוּ בָעִיר, אֲשֶׁר כֵּן-עָשׂוּ; גַּם-זֶה, הָבֶל.
uvekhen ra'iti resha'im kevurim vava'u, umimekom kadosh yehalekhu, veyishtakhekhu va'ir, asher ken-asu; gam-zeh, havel.
And so I saw the wicked buried, and they entered into their rest; but they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city; this also is vanity.
11.
אֲשֶׁר אֵין-נַעֲשָׂה פִתְגָם, מַעֲשֵׂה הָרָעָה מְהֵרָה; עַל-כֵּן מָלֵא לֵב בְּנֵי-הָאָדָם, בָּהֶם--לַעֲשׂוֹת רָע.
asher ein-na'asah fitgam, ma'aseh hara'ah meherah; al-ken male lev bene-ha'adam, bahem--la'asot ra'.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil;
12.
אֲשֶׁר חֹטֶא, עֹשֶׂה רָע מְאַת--וּמַאֲרִיךְ לוֹ: כִּי, גַּם-יוֹדֵעַ אָנִי, אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה-טּוֹב לְיִרְאֵי הָאֱלֹהִים, אֲשֶׁר יִירְאוּ מִלְּפָנָיו.
asher chote, oseh ra' me'at--uma'arikh lo: ki, gam-yode'a ani, asher yihyeh-tov leyir'e haElohim, asher yir'u milfanav.
because a sinner doeth evil a hundred times, and prolongeth his days--though yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before Him;
13.
וְטוֹב לֹא-יִהְיֶה לָרָשָׁע, וְלֹא-יַאֲרִיךְ יָמִים כַּצֵּל--אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ יָרֵא, מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים.
vetov lo-yihyeh larasha, velo-ya'arikh yamim katzel--asher einennu yare, milifnei Elohim.
but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he feareth not before God.
14.
יֶשׁ-הֶבֶל, אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה עַל-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁ צַדִּיקִים אֲשֶׁר מַגִּיעַ אֲלֵהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה הָרְשָׁעִים, וְיֵשׁ רְשָׁעִים שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ אֲלֵהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה הַצַּדִּיקִים: אָמַרְתִּי, שֶׁגַּם-זֶה הָבֶל.
yesh-hevel, asher na'aseh al-ha'aretz, asher yesh tzadikim asher magi'a alehem kema'aseh haresha'im, veyesh resha'im shemagi'a alehem kema'aseh hatzadikim: amarti, shegam-zeh hevel.
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth: that there are righteous men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous--I said that this also is vanity.
15.
וְשִׁבַּחְתִּי אֲנִי, אֶת-הַשִּׂמְחָה, אֲשֶׁר אֵין-טוֹב לָאָדָם תַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, כִּי אִם-לֶאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִשְׂמוֹחַ; וְהוּא יִלְוֶנּוּ בַעֲמָלוֹ, יְמֵי חַיָּיו אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים--תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ.
veshibhakhti ani, et-hasimkhah, asher ein-tov la'adam takhat hashemesh, ki im-le'ekhol velishtot velismoakh; vehu yilvenu va'amalo, yemei khayav asher-natan-lo haElohim--takhat hashemesh.
So I commended mirth, that a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry, and that this should accompany him in his labour all the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.
16.
כַּאֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי אֶת-לִבִּי, לָדַעַת חָכְמָה, וְלִרְאוֹת אֶת-הָעִנְיָן, אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה עַל-הָאָרֶץ: כִּי גַם בַּיּוֹם, וּבַלַּיְלָה--שֵׁנָה, בְּעֵינָיו אֵינֶנּוּ רֹאֶה.
ka'asher natati et-libi, lada'at khokhmah, velirot et-ha'inyan, asher na'aseh al-ha'aretz: ki gam bayom, uvalaylah--shenah, be'einav einennu ro'eh.
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth--for neither day nor night do men see sleep with their eyes--
17.
וְרָאִיתִי, אֶת-כָּל-מַעֲשֵׂה הָאֱלֹהִים, כִּי לֹא יוּכַל הָאָדָם לִמְצוֹא אֶת-הַמַּעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַחַת-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, בְּשֶׁל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲמֹל הָאָדָם לְבַקֵּשׁ וְלֹא יִמְצָא; וְגַם אִם-יֹאמַר הֶחָכָם לָדַעַת, לֹא יוּכַל לִמְצֹא.
vera'iti, et-kol-ma'aseh haElohim, ki lo yukhal haadam limtso et-hama'aseh asher na'aseh takhat-hashemesh, beshel asher ya'amol haadam levakesh velo yimtso; vegam im-yomar hekhakham lada'at, lo yukhal limtso.
then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
