Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men:	1 Est et aliud malum, quod vidi sub sole, et quidem grave apud homines:
2 A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery.	2 vir, cui dedit Deus divitias et substantiam et honorem, et nihil deest animaesuae ex omnibus, quae desiderat; nec tribuit ei potestatem Deus, ut comedat exeo, sed homo extraneus vorabit illud: hoc vanitas et miseria mala est.
3 If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he.	3 Sigenuerit quispiam centum liberos et vixerit multos annos et plures dies aetatishabuerit, et anima illius non sit satiata bonis substantiae suae, immo etsepultura careat, de hoc ego pronuntio quod melior illo sit abortivus.
4 For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten.	4 Frustraenim venit et pergit ad tenebras, et in tenebris abscondetur nomen eius.
5 He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil:	5 Etsinon vidit solem neque cognovit, maior est requies isti quam illi.
6 Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place?	6 Etiamsiduobus milibus annis vixerit et non fuerit perfruitus bonis, nonne ad unum locumproperant omnes?
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.	7 “ Omnis labor hominis est ad os eius, sed anima eius non implebitur ”.
8 What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life?	8 Quid habet amplius sapiens prae stulto? Et quid pauper, qui sciat ambularecoram vivis?
9 Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit.	9 “ Melior est oculorum visio quam vana persequi desideria ”;sed et hoc vanitas est et afflictio spiritus.
10 He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself.	10 Quidquid est, iam vocatum estnomen eius; et scitur quod homo sit et non possit contra fortiorem se in iudiciocontendere.
11 There are many words that have much vanity in disputing.	11 Ubi verba sunt plurima, multiplicant vanitatem; quid lucri habethomo?
	12 Quoniam quis scit quid homini bonum sit in vita, in paucis diebusvanitatis suae, quos peragit velut umbra? Aut quis ei poterit indicare quid posteum futurum sub sole sit?
