Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 All things have their time, and all things under heaven continue during their interval.	1 لكل شيء زمان ولكل امر تحت السموات وقت.
2 A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pull up what was planted.	2 للولادة وقت وللموت وقت. للغرس وقت ولقلع المغروس وقت.

9 What more does a man have from his labor?	9 فاي منفعة لمن يتعب مما يتعب به.
10 I have seen the affliction that God has given to the sons of men, in order that they may be occupied by it.	10 قد رأيت الشغل الذي اعطاه الله بني البشر ليشتغلوا به.
11 He has made all things good in their time, and he has handed over the world to their disputes, so that man may not discover the work which God made from the beginning, even until the end.	11 صنع الكل حسنا في وقته وايضا جعل الابدية في قلبهم التي بلاها لا يدرك الانسان العمل الذي يعمله الله من البداية الى النهاية.
12 And I realize that there is nothing better than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.	12 عرفت انه ليس لهم خير الا ان يفرحوا ويفعلوا خيرا في حياتهم.
13 For this is a gift from God: when each man eats and drinks, and sees the good results of his labor.	13 وايضا ان يأكل كل انسان ويشرب ويرى خيرا من كل تعبه فهو عطية الله.
14 I have learned that all the works which God has made continue on, in perpetuity. We are not able to add anything, nor to take anything away, from those things which God has made in order that he may be feared.	14 قد عرفت ان كل ما يعمله الله انه يكون الى الابد. لا شيء يزاد عليه ولا شيء ينقص منه وان الله عمله حتى يخافوا امامه.
15 What has been made, the same continues. What is in the future, has already existed. And God restores what has passed away.	15 ما كان فمن القدم هو. وما يكون فمن القدم قد كان. والله يطلب ما قد مضى
16 I saw under the sun: instead of judgment, impiety, and instead of justice, iniquity.	16 وايضا رايت تحت الشمس موضع الحق هناك الظلم وموضع العدل هناك الجور.
17 And I said in my heart: “God will judge the just and the impious, and then the time for each matter shall be.”	17 فقلت في قلبي الله يدين الصدّيق والشرير. لان لكل أمر ولكل عمل وقتا هناك.
18 I said in my heart, about the sons of men, that God would test them, and reveal them to be like wild animals.	18 قلت في قلبي من جهة امور بني البشر ان الله يمتحنهم ليريهم انه كما البهيمة هكذا هم.
19 For this reason, the passing away of man and of beasts is one, and the condition of both is equal. For as a man dies, so also do they die. All things breathe similarly, and man has nothing more than beast; for all these are subject to vanity.	19 لان ما يحدث لبني البشر يحدث للبهيمة وحادثة واحدة لهم. موت هذا كموت ذاك ونسمة واحدة للكل فليس للانسان مزية على البهيمة لان كليهما باطل.
20 And all things continue on to one place; for from the earth they were made, and unto the earth they shall return together.	20 يذهب كلاهما الى مكان واحد. كان كلاهما من التراب والى التراب يعود كلاهما.
21 Who knows if the spirit of the sons of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?	21 من يعلم روح بني البشر هل هي تصعد الى فوق وروح البهيمة هل هي تنزل الى اسفل الى الارض.
22 And I have discovered nothing to be better than for a man to rejoice in his work: for this is his portion. And who shall add to him, so that he may know the things that will occur after him?	22 فرأيت انه لا شيء خير من ان يفرح الانسان باعماله لان ذلك نصيبه. لانه من يأتي به ليرى ما سيكون بعده
