傳道書

第11章

1 當將你的糧食撒在水面,因為日久必能得著。

2 你要分給七人,又要[and also]分給八人,因為你不知道將來有甚麼災禍臨到地上。

3 雲若滿了雨,就必傾倒在地上。樹若向南倒,或向北倒,樹倒在何處,就存在何處。

4 看風的,必不撒種;望雲的,必不收割。

5 [spirit]從何道來,骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成,你尚且不得知道;這樣,造眾人[maketh all]之神的作為,你更不得知道。

6 早晨要撒你的種,晚上也不要歇你的手,因為你不知道哪一樣發旺;或是早撒的,或是晚撒的,或是兩樣都好。

7 誠然[Truly]是佳美的,眼見日光也是可悅的。

8 然而[But],人活多年,[and]快樂多年,[yet]當想到黑暗的日子,因為這些日子[they]必多。所要來的都是虛空。

9 少年人哪,你在幼年時當快樂。在幼年的日子,使你的心歡暢,行你心所願行的,看你眼所愛看的;卻要知道,為這一切的事,神必審問你。

10 所以,你當從心中除掉愁煩,從肉體克去邪惡;因為一生的開端和幼年之時,都是虛空的。

1 Cast7971 thy bread3899 upon5921 6440 the waters:4325 for3588 thou shalt find4672 it after many7230 days.3117

2 Give5414 a portion2506 to seven,7651 and also1571 to eight;8083 for3588 thou knowest3045 not3808 what4100 evil7451 shall be1961 upon5921 the earth.776

3 If518 the clouds5645 be full4390 of rain,1653 they empty7324 themselves upon5921 the earth:776 and if518 the tree6086 fall5307 toward the south,1864 or518 toward the north,6828 in the place4725 where the tree6086 falleth,7945 5307 there8033 it1933 shall be.

4 He that observeth8104 the wind7307 shall not3808 sow;2232 and he that regardeth7200 the clouds5645 shall not3808 reap.7114

5 As834 thou knowest3045 not369 what4100 is the way1870 of the spirit,7307 nor how the bones6106 do grow in the womb990 of her that is with child:4392 even so3602 thou knowest3045 not3808 853 the works4639 of God430 who834 maketh6213 853 all.3605

6 In the morning1242 sow2232 853 thy seed,2233 and in the evening6153 withhold5117 not408 thine hand:3027 for3588 thou knowest3045 not369 whether335 2088 shall prosper,3787 either this2088 or176 that,2088 or whether518 they both8147 shall be alike259 good.2896

7 Truly the light216 is sweet,4966 and a pleasant2896 thing it is for the eyes5869 to behold7200 853 the sun: 8121

8 But3588 if518 a man120 live2421 many7235 years,8141 and rejoice8055 in them all;3605 yet let him remember2142 853 the days3117 of darkness;2822 for3588 they shall be1961 many.7235 All3605 that cometh7945 935 is vanity.1892

9 Rejoice,8055 O young man,970 in thy youth;3208 and let thy heart3820 cheer3190 thee in the days3117 of thy youth,979 and walk1980 in the ways1870 of thine heart,3820 and in the sight4758 of thine eyes:5869 but know3045 thou, that3588 for5921 all3605 these428 things God430 will bring935 thee into judgment.4941
