1. There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:

1. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2. A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, a time for uprooting what has been planted.

2. a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

3. A time for killing, a time for healing; a time for knocking down, a time for building.

3. a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4. A time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for mourning, a time for dancing.

4. a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5. A time for throwing stones away, a time for gathering them; a time for embracing, a time to refrain from embracing.

6. A time for searching, a time for losing; a time for keeping, a time for discarding.

9. What do people gain from the efforts they make?

9. What gain has the worker from his toil?

10. I contemplate the task that God gives humanity to labour at.

10. I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

11. All that he does is apt for its time; but although he has given us an awareness of the passage of time, we can grasp neither the beginning nor the end of what God does.

11. He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

12. I know there is no happiness for a human being except in pleasure and enjoyment through life.

12. I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live;

13. And when we eat and drink and find happiness in all our achievements, this is a gift from God.

13. also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil.

14. I know that whatever God does will be for ever. To this there is nothing to add, from this there is nothing to subtract, and the way God acts inspires dread.

14. I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.

15. What is, has been already, what will be, is already; God seeks out anyone who is persecuted.

15. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.

16. Again I observe under the sun: crime is where justice should be, the criminal is where the upright should be.

16. Moreover I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

17. And I think to myself: the upright and the criminal will both be judged by God, since there is a time for every thing and every action here.

17. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work.

18. I think to myself: where human beings are concerned, this is so that God can test them and show them that they are animals.

18. I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.

19. For the fate of human and the fate of animal is the same: as the one dies, so the other dies; both have the selfsame breath. Human is in no way better off than animal -- since all is futile.

19. For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity.

20. Everything goes to the same place, everything comes from the dust, everything returns to the dust.

20. All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

21. Who knows if the human spirit mounts upward or if the animal spirit goes downward to the earth?

21. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down to the earth?

22. I see there is no contentment for a human being except happiness in achievement; such is the lot of a human beings. No one can tell us what will happen after we are gone.

22. So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot; who can bring him to see what will be after him?
