Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 11

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Cast your bread on the water, eventual y you wil recover it.	1 Mitte panem tuum super transeuntes aquas, quia post tempora multainvenies illum.
2 Offer a share to seven or to eight people, you can never tell what disaster may occur.	2 Da partem septem necnon et octo, quia ignoras, quid futurum sit mali superterram.
3 When clouds are ful of rain, they wil shed it on the earth. If a tree fal s, whether south or north, whereit falls, there it wil lie.	3 Si repletae fuerint nubes, imbrem super terram effundent; si ceciderit lignum ad austrum aut ad aquilonem, in quocumque loco ceciderit, ibi erit.
4 Keep watching the wind and you wil never sow, keep staring at the clouds and you will never reap.	4 Qui observat ventum, non seminat, et,qui considerat nubes, numquam metet.
5 You do not understand how the wind blows, or how the embryo grows in a woman's womb: no morecan you understand the work of God, the Creator of al .	5 Quomodo ignoras, quae sit via spiritus, et qua ratione compingantur ossa inventre praegnantis, sic nescis opera Dei, qui fabricator est omnium.
6 In the morning, sow your seed, until evening, do not cease from labour, for of any two things you donot know which wil succeed, or which of the two is the better.	6 Mane semina semen tuum, et vespere ne cesset manus tua, quia nescis quid magis prosit, hoc aut illud, et si utrumque simul melius erit.
7 How sweet light is, how delightful it is to see the sun!	7 Dulce lumen, et delectabile est oculis videre solem.
8 However many years you live, enjoy them all, but remember, the days of darkness wil be many: futilityawaits you at the end.	8 Si annis multis vixerit homo et in his omnibus laetatus fuerit, meminisse debet tenebrosi temporis, quod multum erit: omne, quod venerit, vanitas.
9 Young man, enjoy yourself while you are young, make the most of the days of your youth, follow theprompting and desire of heart and eye, but remember, God wil cal you to account for everything.	9 Laetare ergo, iuvenis, in adulescentia tua, et in bono sit cor tuum in diebus iuventutis tuae, et ambula in viis cordis tui et in intuitu oculorum tuorum et scito quod pro omnibus his adducet te Deus in iudicium.
10 Rid your heart of indignation, keep your body clear of suffering, though youth and the age of blackhair are both futile.	10 Aufer curam a corde tuo et amove malum a carne tua; adulescentia enim et iuventus vanae sunt.
