1 The following are the words of the leader,[fn] David’s son, king in Yerushalem (Jerusalem):

1 The_words_of Teacher the_son_of Dāvid king in/on/at/with_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).

1:2 Everything’s meaningless

2 “Totally pointless,” says the leader.

“A complete waste of time. Everything’s worthless.”

3 What profit does humanity gain from all their hard work in this world?

4 Generations come, and generations go,

but the world just carries on going.

5 The sun rises and the sun sets,

then rushes around to its place, rising there again.

6 Going to the south then around to the north,

the wind is going, changing, turning,

then it’s returning on its rounds.

7 All the rivers flow into the sea but it never gets full.

The place that the rivers are going to, they end up going there again.

8 Everything is wearisome—not even worth talking about.

The eyes never stop seeing,

and your ears never fill up with everything they hear.

9 Whatever that was in the past, it will be in the future,

and everything that’s happened before, will happen again.

There’s nothing new in this world.

10 If someone says, “Look at this—it’s new,”

well, it was already done long ago before we even got here.

11 Things that happened in the past get forgotten,

and the same will also happen for future events.

People in the future will be exactly the same.

2 Futility_of futilities Teacher he_said futility_of futilities the_all is_futility.
3 What advantage have_the_man in_all toil_of_his which_toils under the_sun.
4 A_generation is_going and_generation is_coming and_the_earth to_forever is_continuing.
5 And_rises the_sun and_sets the_sun and_near/to place_of_its it_is_panting is_rising it there.
6 it_is_going to the_south and_goes_around to the_north circling_around circling_around is_going the_wind and_on circuits_of_its is_returning the_wind.
7 All_of the_streams are_going to the_sea and_the_sea never_he is_full to the_place_of where_the_streams are_going there they are_returning to_flow.
8 All_of the_things are_wearisome not anyone he_is_able to_say not an_eye it_is_satisfied to_see and_not an_ear it_is_filled with_hearing.
9 Whatever which_been it what_be and_what which_done it what_done and_there_is_not any_of new_thing under the_sun.
10 is_there anything which_say see this is_new it already it_has_been in_ages which it_was from_to/for_before_of_us.
11 There_is_not remembrance_of the_long_ago and_also of_those_later who_there_be not it_will_be to/for_them remembrance with who_come in_the_following_time.

1:12 The persecution of wise

12 I, the leader, was king over Yisrael in Yerushalem.

13 I used my mind and wisdom to discover and to explore everything that is done in this world.

It’s a difficult job that God has given humanity to be busy with.

14 I saw all the deeds that are done in this world,

and look—everything’s pointless like chasing after the wind.

15 Something that’s bent can’t be straightened again,

≈and what’s missing can’t be counted.

16 I spoke with sincerity, saying, “Look at me—I’ve become powerful,

and I’ve increased in wisdom relative to everyone who ruled before me here in Yerushalem.[ref]

My mind has acquired much knowledge and wisdom.”

17 I made it my aim to discover knowledge and wisdom versus madness and folly.

I was aware that that also is chasing after the wind

18 because having much wisdom leads to much frustration

≈and anyone who’s adding knowledge is also adding pain.

2 I said to myself,

“Come on, let me find out what’s good and enjoy the pleasure from them.”

But look, it was also pointless.

2 To laughter, I said, “It’s madness,”

≈and to joy, “What’s the point of this?”

3 I explored in myself how to indulge my body with wine, but my mind was guiding me in wisdom.

Also, how to grasp foolishness

until I could see whether that’s better for humanity to do while they live out their lives here on this earth.


4 I expanded my program of works.

I built houses for myself.

I planted vineyards for myself.[ref]

5 I made gardens for myself, and royal parks,

and I planted all different kinds of fruit trees in them.

6 I constructed pools for myself

to irrigate a forest of growing trees.

7 I acquired male and female servants,

and the children born to them belonged to me.

Also a large number of sheep and cattle belonged to me—

more than all my predecessors in Yerushalem.[ref]

8 I also accumulated gold and silver for myself,

and treasure from kings and from the provinces.

I appointed male and female singers for myself,

and the pleasures of the sons of humanity—many women.[ref]


9 So I became famous,

and I added more than all who preceded me in Yerushalem.

Also my wisdom stayed with me.[ref]

10 Everything my eyes wanted, I gave them.

I didn’t hold back from anything that would make me happy,

because I was happy inside from all my work

and that was my reward from all my effort.

11 And I turned, I, to all the things that I’d made

and to the work that I’d done,

and look, everything was pointless and chasing after the wind,

and there wasn’t any profit in anything done in this world.

12 Then I changed direction to investigate wisdom and madness and folly,

because what could any future king do that hasn’t already been done?

13 I saw that wisdom is to be preferred over folly,

just as light is to be preferred over darkness.

14 The wise person uses their eyes,

but the fool walks in the darkness,

and even I know that the same fate comes to both of them.

15 I said to myself, “The fool’s end will also come to me,

so what use was it being so wise back then?”

Then I told myself that that also is pointless,

16 because neither the wise person nor the fool will be remembered forever,

as they’ll both be forgotten in the days to come—

and how strange it is that the wise die just like the fool?

17 Then I hated life because of the misfortune around me—

the work that was done in this world,

because everything was pointless and chasing after the wind.

18 Then I hated all the work that I’d done in this world

that will get left to those who follow me after I go.

19 And who knows whether my successor will be wise or a fool?

He’ll have authority over all my projects that I worked hard on

and which I’ve applied wisdom to in this world.

That also was pointless.

20 Then I changed to despairing over all the projects in this world that I’d worked hard on,

21 because there are people whose work is in wisdom and knowledge, and in skill.

However, then a person who hasn’t worked on it, will gain it as their inheritance.

That also is pointless and a great misfortune

22 because what does a person get in exchange for all their work and their goals in life that they work towards in this world?

23 Because all his days are painful, and anger is his business—

even in the night, his mind doesn’t rest.

That also is pointless.[ref]

24 There’s nothing better for humanity other than eating and drinking,

and genuinely enjoying their hard work.

Also I saw that that comes from God[ref]

25 because who could eat and enjoy life apart from him?

26 Yes, he gives wisdom and knowledge and happiness to people who are good in his sight.

But to the sinner, he gives the job of gathering and collecting to give to the one who’s good in God’s sight.

That also is pointless and chasing after the wind.[ref]

12 I Teacher I_was king over Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) in/on/at/with_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
13 And_applied DOM mind_of_my to_seek and_to_explore in/on/at/with_wisdom on all that it_has_been_done under the_heavens it is_a_business evil which_he_has_given god to_sons_of the_humankind to_busy in/on/over_him/it.
14 I_have_seen DOM all_of the_works that_done under the_sun and_see/lo/see the_all is_futility and_chasing_of wind.
15 that_which_is_bent not it_is_able to_straightened and_what_is_lacking not it_is_able to_counted.
16 I_have_spoken I with heart_of_my to_say I here I_have_made_great and_increased wisdom above every one_who he_was to/for_my_face/front over Yərūshālam and_mind_of_my it_has_seen much wisdom and_knowledge.
17 And_applied mind_of_my to_know wisdom and_know madness(es) and_folly I_knew that_also this it is_a_striving_of wind.
18 If/because in/on/at/with_much_of wisdom abundance_of frustration and_increases knowledge he_will_increase pain.
2 I_said I in/on/at/with_heart_of_my come please test_you in/on/at/with_pleasure and_enjoy in/on/at/with_what_is_good and_see/lo/see also it was_futility.
2 Of_laughter I_said it_is_mad and_of_pleasure what this is_it_doing.
3 I_searched in/on/at/with_mind_of_my to_cheer in/on/at/with_wine DOM body_of_my and_mind_of_my was_guiding in/on/at/with_wisdom and_to_lay_hold in/on/at/with_folly until that I_saw where this is_good for_sons_of the_humankind which they_will_do under the_heavens the_number_of the_days_of lives_of_their.
4 I_made_great works_of_my I_built to_me houses I_planted to_me vineyards.
5 I_made to_me gardens and_parks and_planted in/among_them tree[s]_of every_of fruit.
6 I_made to_me pools_of water to_water from_them a_forest_of sprouting_of trees.
7 I_acquired male_slaves and_female_slaves and_the_sons house he_belonged to_me also livestock herd[s] and_flocks many it_belonged to_me from_all who_been to/for_my_face/front in/on/at/with_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
8 I_gathered to_me also silver and_gold and_treasure_of kings and_the_provinces I_acquired to_me male_singers and_women_singing and_delights_of the_children_of the_humankind breast and_women.
9 And_became_great and_surpassed from_all who_were to/for_my_face/front in/on/at/with_Yərūshālam also wisdom_of_my it_remained to/for_me.
10 And_all/each/any/every that they_asked eyes_of_my not I_withheld from_them not I_restrained DOM heart_of_my from_all pleasure if/because heart_of_my was_joyful from_all toil_of_my and_this it_was reward_of_my from_all toil_of_my.
11 And_considered I in_all activities_of_my hands_of_my that_done and_in/on/at/with_toil what_toiled for_doing and_see/lo/see the_everything was_futility and_chasing_of wind and_nothing advantage under the_sun.
12 And_turned I to_ wisdom _see and_madness and_folly if/because what the_humankind who_comes after the_king DOM that_which already done_him.
13 And_saw I that_there_is advantage to_the_wisdom more_than the_folly as_advantage_of the_light more_than the_darkness.
14 The_wise eyes_of_his in/on/at/with_head_of_his and_the_fool in/on/at/with_darkness is_walking and_perceived also I that_fate one it_will_happen_to DOM both_of_them.
15 And_said I in/on/at/with_heart_of_my same_fate_of the_fool also me happen_me and_for_what have_I_become_wise I then excessively and_said in/on/at/with_heart_of_my that_also this is_futility.
16 If/because there_is_not remembrance_of the_wise with the_fool in_future in/on/at/with_that_already the_days the_(ones_who)_went the_both it_has_been_forgotten and_how he_will_die the_wise with the_fool.
17 And_hated DOM the_life if/because was_evil to_me the_work that_done under the_sun if/because the_everything is_futility and_chasing_of wind.
18 And_hated I DOM all_of toil_of_my which_I was_toiling under the_sun because_leave_it to_the_man who_come after_me.
19 And_who is_knowing whether_wise will_he_be or a_fool and_have_control in_all work_of_my which_toiled and_which_used_wisdom under the_sun also this is_futility.
20 And_began I to_despair DOM heart_of_my on all_of the_toil that_laboured under the_sun.
21 If/because there_is a_person who_work_of_his in/on/at/with_wisdom and_in/on/at/with_knowledge and_in/on/at/with_skill and_to/for_humankind who_not he_toiled in/on/over_him/it leave_him portion_of_his also this is_futility and_evil great.
22 If/because what is_becoming to_a_man in_all toil_of_his and_in/on/at/with_strain_of heart_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which_he was_toiling under the_sun.
23 If/because all_of his/its_days are_pains and_grief work_of_his also in/on/at/with_night not his/its_heart it_rests also this is_futility it.
24 There_is_not good in/on/at/with_person that_eat and_drink and_find DOM self_of_him good in/on/at/with_toil_of_his also this I_have_seen I if/because_that from_hand_of the_ʼElohīm it.
25 If/because who will_he_eat and_who will_he_enjoy outside from_me.
26 If/because to/for_ʼĀdām/humankind who_pleases in_sight_of_his he_gives wisdom and_knowledge and_joy and_to_the_sinner he_gives the_business of_gathering and_to_collecting to_give to_pleasing to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm also this is_futility and_chasing_of wind.

3:1 A right time for everything

3 There’s an appointed time for everything,

3:9 Enjoying life and work

9 What do people gain from all the work they do?

10 I’ve seen the task that God has given people to keep them occupied.

11 God makes everything happen at the appropriate time.

Also, he puts the awareness of eternity into the human mind,

yet humanity can’t grasp what God has done from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there’s nothing better for them

than being cheerful and doing good during their lives

13 and everyone should eat and drink and see good in everything they do—

that’s a gift from God.

14 I know that everything God does will be enduring.

There’s nothing that needs to be added to it, or taken away,

and God has done it like that so that people will respect and want to obey him.

15 Whatever there is, it already was,

and whatever is to be, it already is,

and God will watch whatever’s being worked on.

9 what is_the_advantage_of the_worker in/on/at/with_that he was_toiling.
10 I_have_seen DOM the_task which he_has_given god to_children_of the_humankind to_busy in/on/over_him/it.
11 DOM the_everything he_has_made beautiful in/on/at/with_time_of_its also DOM the_eternity he_has_put in/on/at/with_hearts_of_their yet_not_of which not he_will_find the_humankind DOM the_work which he_has_done the_ʼElohīm from_beginning and_unto end.
12 I_know if/because_that there_is_not good in/on/at/with_them if/because (if) to_rejoice and_to_do good in/on/at/with_live_of_they.
13 And_also every_of the_humankind that_eat and_drink and_find good in_all toil_of_his is_a_gift_of god it.
14 I_know if/because_that all that he_does the_ʼElohīm it it_will_be to_forever on/upon/above_him/it there_is_not to_added and_from_it there_is_not to_taken and_the_god he_has_acted so_that_stand_in_awe at_before_face/front_him.
15 Whatever which_been has_been_already it and_which to_be already it_has_been and_the_god he_will_seek DOM that_which_was_pursued.

3:16 Not/None correct judging here of world

16 Then again I saw in this world at the place of judgment, there was wickedness,

and at the place of righteousness, there was wickedness.

17 I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked,

because there’s a time for every matter, and for every action to be judged.”

18 I said to myself, “God tests humanity

so they can see that they themselves are like animals

19 because the same one thing happens to both people and animals:

just like one dies, so does the other—they both have the same breath.

But people have no advantage over animals—everything is pointless.

20 Both go to the same place—

both came from the dust and both return to the dust.

21 Who can know that a person’s spirit is the one going up—upwards,

and the animal’s spirit is the one going down—downwards to the earth?

22 Then I saw that there is nothing better than that people would enjoy their work,

because that’s their assignment.

Yes, who can see what will happen to them after they die?

4 Then I turned and I saw all the oppression around world,

and, look, see the tears of the oppressed

but there was no one to comfort them.

The oppressors exerted their power against them,

but there was no one to comfort the oppressed.

2 So I praised those who were dead—who’ve already died,

more than the living—those who’re still alive.

3 But better than both of them, is the one who hasn’t yet lived—

who hasn’t seen the evil things that are being done in this world.
