Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.	1 احفظ قدمك حين تذهب الى بيت الله فالاستماع اقرب من تقديم ذبيحة الجهال لانهم لا يبالون بفعل الشر.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.	2 لا تستعجل فمك ولا يسرع قلبك الى نطق كلام قدام الله. لان الله في السموات وانت على الارض فلذلك لتكن كلماتك قليلة.
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.	3 لان الحلم يأتي من كثرة الشغل وقول الجهل من كثرة الكلام.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.	4 اذا نذرت نذرا لله فلا تتأخر عن الوفاء به. لانه لا يسرّ بالجهال. فاوف بما نذرته.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.	5 ان لا تنذر خير من ان تنذر ولا تفي.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?	6 لا تدع فمك يجعل جسدك يخطئ. ولا تقل قدام الملاك انه سهو. لماذا يغضب الله على قولك ويفسد عمل يديك.
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.	7 لان ذلك من كثرة الاحلام والاباطيل وكثرة الكلام. ولكن اخش الله
8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.	8 ان رأيت ظلم الفقير ونزع الحق والعدل في البلاد فلا ترتع من الأمر. لان فوق العالي عاليا يلاحظ والاعلى فوقهما.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.	9 ومنفعة الارض للكل. الملك مخدوم من الحقل.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.	10 من يحب الفضة لا يشبع من الفضة ومن يحب الثروة لا يشبع من دخل. هذا ايضا باطل.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?	11 اذا كثرت الخيرات كثر الذين يأكلونها واي منفعة لصاحبها الا رؤيتها بعينيه.
12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.	12 نوم المشتغل حلو ان اكل قليلا او كثيرا ووفر الغني لا يريحه حتى ينام.
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.	13 يوجد شر خبيث رأيته تحت الشمس. ثروة مصونة لصاحبها لضرره.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.	14 فهلكت تلك الثروة بامر سيء ثم ولد ابنا وما بيده شيء.
15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.	15 كما خرج من بطن امه عريانا يرجع ذاهبا كما جاء ولا يأخذ شيئا من تعبه فيذهب به في يده.
16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?	16 وهذا ايضا مصيبة رديئة. في كل شيء كما جاء هكذا يذهب فايّة منفعة له للذي تعب للريح.
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.	17 ايضا يأكل كل ايامه في الظلام ويغتم كثيرا مع حزن وغيظ
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.	18 هوذا الذي رأيته انا خيرا الذي هو حسن. ان يأكل الانسان ويشرب ويرى خيرا من كل تعبه الذي يتعب فيه تحت الشمس مدة ايام حياته التي اعطاه الله اياها لانه نصيبه.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.	19 ايضا كل انسان اعطاه الله غنى ومالا وسلّطه عليه حتى ياكل منه وياخذ نصيبه ويفرح بتعبه فهذا هو عطية الله.
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.	20 لانه لا يذكر ايام حياته كثيرا لان الله ملهيه بفرح قلبه
