9 Quid lucri habet, qui operatur, de labore suo?	9 What hath man more of his labour?
10 Vidi occupationem, quam dedit Deus filiis hominum, ut occuparentur in ea.	10 I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 Cuncta fecit bona in tempore suo; et mundum tradidit cordi eorum, et noninveniet homo opus, quod operatus est Deus ab initio usque ad finem.	11 He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot flnd out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.
12 Cognoviquod nihil boni esset in eis nisi laetari et facere bene in vita sua.	12 And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
13 Omnisenim homo, qui comedit et bibit et videt bonum de labore suo, hoc donum Dei est.	13 For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
14 Didici quod omnia opera, quae fecit Deus, perseverent in perpetuum; nonpossumus eis quidquam addere nec auferre, quae fecit Deus, ut timeatur.	14 I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
15 Quodiam fuit, ipsum est; et, quod futurum est, iam fuit; et Deus requirit, quodabiit.	15 That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
16 Et adhuc vidi sub sole: in loco iudicii ibi impietas, et in loco iustitiaeibi iniquitas;	16 I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
17 et dixi in corde meo: “ Iustum et impium iudicabit Deus,quia tempus omni rei et omnibus occasio ”.	17 And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
18 Dixi in corde meo de filiis hominum, ut probaret eos Deus et ostenderet eosin semetipsis similes esse bestiis.	18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
19 Quoniam sors filiorum hominis etiumentorum una est atque eadem: sicut moritur homo, sic et illa moriuntur; etidem spiritus omnibus: nihil habet homo iumento amplius, quia omnia vanitas.	19 Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
20 Et omnia pergunt ad unum locum: de terra facta sunt omnia, et in terram omnia pariter revertuntur.	20 And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
21 Quis novit, si spiritus filiorum hominis ascendat sursum, et si spiritusiumentorum descendat deorsum in terram?	21 Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
22 Et deprehendi nihil esse melius quamlaetari hominem in opere suo; nam haec est pars illius. Quis enim eum adducet,ut post se futura cognoscat?	22 And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
