| 1 אָמַ֤רְתִּֽי אֲנִי֙ [3] Pashta בְּלִבִּ֔י [2] Zaqef אֲנַסְּכָ֥ה בְשִׂמְחָ֖ה [2] Tip'cha וּרְאֵ֣ה בְט֑וֹב [1] Etnachta הָֽבֶל׃ [1] Silluq |
1 I, I said [3] in my heart, [2] I will test you with pleasure [2] to see what is good;” [1] was meaningless. [1] |
|||
| 2 לִשְׂח֖וֹק [2] Tip'cha אָמַ֣רְתִּי מְהוֹלָ֑ל [1] Etnachta מַה־זֹּ֥ה עֹשָֽׂה׃ [1] Silluq |
2 Of laughter [2] I said, “It is foolishness;” [1] “What does this accomplish?” [1] |
|||
| 3 תַּ֣רְתִּי בְלִבִּ֔י [2] Zaqef לִמְשׁ֥וֹךְ בַּיַּ֖יִן [2] Tip'cha אֶת־בְּשָׂרִ֑י [1] Etnachta נֹהֵ֤ג בַּֽחׇכְמָה֙ [3] Pashta וְלֶאֱחֹ֣ז בְּסִכְל֔וּת [2] Zaqef לִבְנֵ֤י הָאָדָם֙ [3] Pashta תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם [2] Zaqef יְמֵ֥י חַיֵּיהֶֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
3 I searched in my heart [2] how to cheer with wine [2] my flesh; [1] guiding with wisdom [3] of how to take hold of folly, [2] for the sons of men [3] under the heavens, [2] days of their lives. [1] |
|||
| 4 הִגְדַּ֖לְתִּי [2] Tip'cha מַעֲשָׂ֑י [1] Etnachta בָּתִּ֔ים [2] Zaqef כְּרָמִֽים׃ [1] Silluq |
4 I made great [2] my works; [1] houses, [2] vineyards. [1] |
|||
| 5 עָשִׂ֣יתִי לִ֔י [2] Zaqef גַּנּ֖וֹת [2] Tip'cha וּפַרְדֵּסִ֑ים [1] Etnachta עֵ֥ץ כׇּל־פֶּֽרִי׃ [1] Silluq |
5 I made for myself [2] gardens [2] and parks; [1] all kinds of fruit trees. [1] |
|||
| 6 עָשִׂ֥יתִי לִ֖י [2] Tip'cha בְּרֵכ֣וֹת מָ֑יִם [1] Etnachta יַ֖עַר [2] Tip'cha צוֹמֵ֥חַ עֵצִֽים׃ [1] Silluq |
6 I made for myself [2] pools of water; [1] a forest [2] of sprouting trees. [1] |
|||
| 7 קָנִ֙יתִי֙ [3 3] Pashta עֲבָדִ֣ים וּשְׁפָח֔וֹת [2] Zaqef הָ֣יָה לִ֑י [1] Etnachta הָ֣יָה לִ֔י [2] Zaqef שֶֽׁהָי֥וּ לְפָנַ֖י [2] Tip'cha בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ [1] Silluq |
7 I bought [3 3] male servants and female servants, [2] were my servants; [1] I had, [2] who were before me [2] in Jerusalem. [1] |
|||
| 8 כָּנַ֤סְתִּי לִי֙ [3] Pashta גַּם־כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֔ב [2] Zaqef וְהַמְּדִינ֑וֹת [1] Etnachta שָׁרִ֣ים וְשָׁר֗וֹת [3] Revi'i בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha |
8 I gathered for myself [3] also silver and gold, [2] and provinces; [1] male singers and female singers, [3] of the sons of men, [2] |
|||
| 9 וְגָדַ֣לְתִּי וְהוֹסַ֔פְתִּי [2] Zaqef שֶׁהָיָ֥ה לְפָנַ֖י [2] Tip'cha בִּירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם [1] Etnachta עָ֥מְדָה לִּֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
9 So I became great and I increased, [2] who were before me [2] in Jerusalem; [1] it stayed with me. [1] |
|||
| 10 וְכֹל֙ [3] Pashta אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָֽׁאֲל֣וּ עֵינַ֔י [2] Zaqef מֵהֶ֑ם [1] Etnachta מִכׇּל־שִׂמְחָ֗ה [3] Revi'i מִכׇּל־עֲמָלִ֔י [2] Zaqef מִכׇּל־עֲמָלִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
10 And anything [3] that my eyes desired, [2] from them; [1] from any pleasure [3] from all my labor, [2] from all my labor. [1] |
|||
| 11 וּפָנִ֣יתִֽי אֲנִ֗י [3] Revi'i בְּכׇל־מַעֲשַׂי֙ [3] Pashta שֶֽׁעָשׂ֣וּ יָדַ֔י [2] Zaqef שֶׁעָמַ֣לְתִּי לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת [1] Etnachta וּרְע֣וּת ר֔וּחַ [2] Zaqef תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ [1] Silluq |
11 Yet when I, I looked [3] on all my works [3] that my hands had done, [2] that I had labored to do; [1] and a chasing after wind, [2] under the sun. [1] |
|||
| 12 וּפָנִ֤יתִֽי אֲנִי֙ [3] Pashta לִרְא֣וֹת חׇכְמָ֔ה [2] Zaqef וְסִכְל֑וּת [1] Etnachta מֶ֣ה הָאָדָ֗ם [3] Revi'i אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Zaqef עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
12 Then I, I turned [3] to consider wisdom, [2] and folly; [1] what is the man [3] after the king? [2] it has been done. [1] |
|||
| 13 וְרָאִ֣יתִי אָ֔נִי [2] Zaqef לַֽחׇכְמָ֖ה [2] Tip'cha מִן־הַסִּכְל֑וּת [1] Etnachta מִן־הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ [1] Silluq |
13 Then I, I saw, [2] to wisdom [2] above folly; [1] above darkness. [1] |
|||
| 14 הֶֽחָכָם֙ [3] Pashta עֵינָ֣יו בְּרֹאשׁ֔וֹ [2] Zaqef בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ הוֹלֵ֑ךְ [1] Etnachta שֶׁמִּקְרֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד [2] Tip'cha יִקְרֶ֥ה אֶת־כֻּלָּֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
14 The wise, [3] his eyes are in his head, [2] walks in darkness; [1] that one fate, [2] it will happen to them all. [1] |
|||
| 15 וְאָמַ֨רְתִּֽי אֲנִ֜י [4] Geresh בְּלִבִּ֗י [3] Revi'i גַּם־אֲנִ֣י יִקְרֵ֔נִי [2] Zaqef אֲנִ֖י [2] Tip'cha אָ֣ז יֹתֵ֑ר [1] Etnachta שֶׁגַּם־זֶ֖ה [2] Tip'cha הָֽבֶל׃ [1] Silluq |
15 So I, I said [4] in my heart, [3] I too, it will happen to me - [2] I [2] then so much?” [1] that this too [2] is futility. [1] |
|||
| 16 כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין זִכְר֧וֹן לֶחָכָ֛ם [3] Tevir עִֽם־הַכְּסִ֖יל [2] Tip'cha לְעוֹלָ֑ם [1] Etnachta הַיָּמִ֤ים הַבָּאִים֙ [3] Pashta הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁכָּ֔ח [2] Zaqef יָמ֥וּת הֶחָכָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha עִֽם־הַכְּסִֽיל׃ [1] Silluq |
16 For there is no remembrance of the wise, [3] along with the fool, [2] forever; [1] in the days to come, [3] all is forgotten. [2] will the wise die? [2] With the fool. [1] |
|||
| 17 וְשָׂנֵ֙אתִי֙ [3 3] Pashta אֶת־הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים [2] Zaqef הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה [2] Zaqef תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃ [1] Silluq |
17 So I hated [3 3] life, [2] was the work [2] under the sun; [1] and a chasing after wind. [1] |
|||
| 18 וְשָׂנֵ֤אתִֽי אֲנִי֙ [3] Pashta אֶת־כׇּל־עֲמָלִ֔י [2] Zaqef תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta לָאָדָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha שֶׁיִּהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרָֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
18 And I, I hated [3] all my labor [2] under the sun; [1] to the man [2] who comes after me. [1] |
|||
| 19 וּמִ֣י יוֹדֵ֗עַ [3] Revi'i הֶֽחָכָ֤ם יִהְיֶה֙ [3] Pashta א֣וֹ סָכָ֔ל [2] Zaqef בְּכׇל־עֲמָלִ֔י [2] Zaqef תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta הָֽבֶל׃ [1] Silluq |
19 And who knows, [3] wise will he be [3] or a fool, [2] over all of my labor, [2] under the sun. [1] is futility. [1] |
|||
| 20 וְסַבּ֥וֹתִֽי אֲנִ֖י [2] Tip'cha לְיַאֵ֣שׁ אֶת־לִבִּ֑י [1] Etnachta כׇּל־הֶ֣עָמָ֔ל [2] Zaqef תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ [1] Silluq |
20 So I, I turned [2] to give my heart over to despair; [1] all the labor [2] under the sun. [1] |
|||
| 21 כִּי־יֵ֣שׁ אָדָ֗ם [3] Revi'i שֶׁעֲמָל֛וֹ [3] Tevir בְּחׇכְמָ֥ה וּבְדַ֖עַת [2] Tip'cha וּבְכִשְׁר֑וֹן [1] Etnachta שֶׁלֹּ֤א עָֽמַל־בּוֹ֙ [3] Pashta יִתְּנֶ֣נּוּ חֶלְק֔וֹ [2] Zaqef וְרָעָ֥ה רַבָּֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
21 For sometimes a man [3] who has labored [3] with wisdom and with knowledge, [2] and with skill; [1] who has not labored for it, [3] he must hand it over as an inheritance. [2] and a great evil. [1] |
|||
| 22 כִּ֠י [4] TelishaG מֶֽה־הֹוֶ֤ה לָֽאָדָם֙ [3] Pashta בְּכׇל־עֲמָל֔וֹ [2] Zaqef לִבּ֑וֹ [1] Etnachta תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ [1] Silluq |
22 For [4] what does a man get [3] for all his labor [2] of his heart; [1] under the sun? [1] |
|||
| 23 כִּ֧י כׇל־יָמָ֣יו מַכְאֹבִ֗ים [3] Revi'i וָכַ֙עַס֙ [3 3] Pashta עִנְיָנ֔וֹ [2] Zaqef לֹא־שָׁכַ֣ב לִבּ֑וֹ [1] Etnachta הֶ֥בֶל הֽוּא׃ [1] Silluq |
23 For all his days are sorrows, [3] and grief [3 3] is his task, [2] his heart takes no rest. [1] is futility. [1] |
|||
| 24 אֵֽין־ט֤וֹב בָּאָדָם֙ [3] Pashta שֶׁיֹּאכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֔ה [2] Zaqef ט֖וֹב [2] Tip'cha בַּעֲמָל֑וֹ [1] Etnachta רָאִ֣יתִי אָ֔נִי [2] Zaqef מִיַּ֥ד הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha הִֽיא׃ [1] Silluq |
24 There is nothing better for a man [3] than to eat and drink, [2] satisfaction [2] in his labor; [1] I, I have seen, [2] from the hand of God [2] it is. [1] |
|||
| 25 כִּ֣י מִ֥י יֹאכַ֛ל [3] Tevir וּמִ֥י יָח֖וּשׁ [2] Tip'cha ח֥וּץ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ [1] Silluq |
25 For who can eat [3] or who can have enjoyment, [2] more than I? [1] |
|||
| 26 כִּ֤י לְאָדָם֙ [3] Pashta שֶׁטּ֣וֹב לְפָנָ֔יו [2] Zaqef חׇכְמָ֥ה וְדַ֖עַת [2] Tip'cha וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה [1] Etnachta לֶאֱסֹ֣ף וְלִכְנ֗וֹס [3] Revi'i לְטוֹב֙ [3] Pashta לִפְנֵ֣י הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים [2] Zaqef וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃ [1] Silluq |
26 For to the man [3] who is pleasing before him [2] wisdom and knowledge [2] and joy; [1] of gathering and collecting, [3] to one who is pleasing [3] before God. [2] and a chasing after wind. [1] |
