Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 6

NEW JERUSALEMSMITH VAN DYKE
1 I see another evil under the sun, which goes hard with people:1 يوجد شر قد رأيته تحت الشمس وهو كثير بين الناس.
2 suppose someone has received from God riches, property, honours -- nothing at al left to wish for; butGod does not give the chance to enjoy them, and some stranger enjoys them. This is futile, and grievoussuffering too.2 رجل اعطاه الله غنى ومالا وكرامة وليس لنفسه عوز من كل ما يشتهيه ولم يعطه الله استطاعة على ان يأكل منه بل يأكله انسان غريب. هذا باطل ومصيبة رديئة هو
3 Or take someone who has had a hundred children and lived for many years, and, having reached oldage, has never enjoyed the good things of life and has not even got a tomb; it seems to me, a still-born child ishappier.3 ان ولد انسان مئة وعاش سنين كثيرة حتى تصير ايام سنيه كثيرة ولم تشبع نفسه من الخير وليس له ايضا دفن فاقول ان السقط خير منه.
4 In futility it came, into darkness it departs, and in darkness will its name be buried.4 لانه في الباطل يجيء وفي الظلام يذهب واسمه يغطّى بالظلام.
5 It has never so much as seen or known the sun; al the same, it wil rest more easily than that person,5 وايضا لم ير الشمس ولم يعلم. فهذا له راحة اكثر من ذاك.
6 who would never have known the good things of life, even by living a thousand years twice over. Do wenot al go to the same place in the end?6 وان عاش الف سنة مضاعفة ولم ير خيرا أليس الى موضع واحد يذهب الجميع.
7 Al toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is never satisfied.7 كل تعب الانسان لفمه ومع ذلك فالنفس لا تمتلئ.
8 What advantage has the wise over the fool? And what of the pauper who knows how to behave insociety?8 لانه ماذا يبقى للحكيم اكثر من الجاهل. ماذا للفقير العارف السلوك امام الاحياء
9 Better the object seen than the sting of desire: for the latter too is futile and chasing after the wind.9 رؤية العيون خير من شهوة النفس. هذا ايضا باطل وقبض الريح.
10 What has been is already defined -- we know what people are: They cannot bring to justice one who isstronger than themselves.10 الذي كان فقد دعي باسم منذ زمان وهو معروف انه انسان ولا يستطيع ان يخاصم من هو اقوى منه.
11 The more we say, the more futile it is: what good can we derive from it?11 لانه توجد امور كثيرة تزيد الباطل. فاي فضل للانسان.
12 And who knows what is best for someone during life, during the days of futile life which are spent like ashadow? Who can tel anyone what wil happen after him under the sun?12 لانه من يعرف ما هو خير للانسان في الحياة مدة ايام حياة باطله التي يقضيها كالظل. لانه من يخبر الانسان بما يكون بعده تحت الشمس
