Which yet my soul seeketh； but I find not： one man among a thousand have I found； but a woman among all those have I not found。
7：29我所找到的，只有一件，就是神造人原是正直，但他们寻出许多巧计。
Lo； this only have I found； that God hath made man upright； but they have sought out many inventions。
旧约 传道书（Ecclesiastes） 第 8 章 （ 本篇共有 12 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
8：1谁如智慧人呢。谁知道事情的解释呢。人的智慧使他的脸发光，并使他的脸上的暴气改变。
Who is as the wise man？ and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing？ a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine； and the boldness of his face shall be changed。
8：2我劝你遵守王的命令。既指神起誓，理当如此。
I counsel thee to keep the king's mandment； and that in regard of the oath of God。
8：3不要急躁离开王的面前。不要固执行恶。因为他凡事都随自己的心意而行。
Be not hasty to go out of his sight： stand not in an evil thing； for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him。
8：4王的话本有权力，谁敢问他说，你作什么呢。
Where the word of a king is； there is power： and who may say unto him； What doest thou？
8：5凡遵守命令的，必不经历祸患。智慧人的心，能辨明时候和定理。（原文作审判下节同）
Whoso keepeth the mandment shall feel no evil thing： and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment。
8：6各样事务成就，都有时候和定理。因为人的苦难，重压在他身上。
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment； therefore the misery of man is great upon him。
8：7他不知道将来的事，因为将来如何，谁能告诉他呢。
For he knoweth not that which shall be： for who can tell him when it shall be？
8：8无人有权力掌管生命，将生命留住。也无人有权力掌管死期。这场争战，无人能免，邪恶也不能救那好行邪恶的人。
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit； neither hath he power in the day of death： and there is no discharge in that war； neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it。
8：9这一切我都见过。也专心查考日光之下所作的一切事。有时这人管辖那人，令人受害。
All this have I seen； and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun： there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt。
8：10我见恶人埋葬，归入坟墓。又见行正直事的，离开圣地，在城中被人忘记。这也是虚空。
And so I saw the wicked buried； who had e and gone from the place of the holy； and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done： this is also vanity。
8：11因为断定罪名，不立刻施刑，所以世人满心作恶。
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily； therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil。
8：12罪人虽然作恶百次，倒享长久的年日。然而我准知道，敬畏神的，就是在他面前敬畏的人，终久必得福乐。
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times； and his days be prolonged； yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God； which fear before him：
8：13恶人却不得福乐，也不得长久的年日。这年日好像影儿，因他不敬畏神。
But it shall not be well with the wicked； neither shall he prolong his days； which are as a shadow； because he feareth not before God。
8：14世上有一件虚空的事，就是义人所遭遇的，反照恶人所行的。又有恶人所遭遇的，反照义人所行的。我说，这也是虚空。
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth； that there be just men； unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked； again； there be wicked men； to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous： I said that this also is vanity。
8：15我就称赞快乐，原来人在日光之下，莫强如吃喝快乐。因为他在日光之下，神赐他的年日，要从劳碌中，时常享受所得的。
Then I mended mirth； because a man hath no better thing under the sun； than to eat； and to drink； and to be merry： for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life； which God giveth him under the sun。
8：16我专心求智慧，要看世上所作的事。（有昼夜不睡觉，不合眼的）。
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom； and to see the business that is done upon the earth： （for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes：）
8：17我就看明神一切的作为。知道人查不出日光之下所作的事。任凭他费多少力寻查，都查不出来。就是智慧人虽想知道，也是查不出来。
Then I beheld all the work of God； that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun： because though a man labour to seek it out； yet he shall not find it； yea farther； though a wise man think to know it； yet shall he not be able to find it。
旧约 传道书（Ecclesiastes） 第 9 章 （ 本篇共有 12 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
9：1我将一切事放在心上，详细考究，就知道义人和智慧人，并他们的作为，都在神手中。或是爱，或是恨，都在他们的前面，人不能知道。
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this； that the righteous； and the wise； and their works； are in the hand of God： no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them。
9：2凡临到众人的事，都是一样。义人和恶人，都遭遇一样的事。好人，洁净人和不洁净人，献祭的与不献祭的，也是一样。好人如何，罪人也如何。起誓的如何，怕起誓的也如何。
All things e alike to all： there is one event to the righteous； and to the wicked； to the good and to the clean； and to the unclean； to him that sacrificeth； and to him that sacrificeth not： as is the good； so is the sinner； and he that sweareth； as he that feareth an oath。
9：3在日光之下所行的一切事上，有一件祸患，就是众人所遭遇的，都是一样。并且世人的心，充满了恶。活着的时候心里狂妄，后来就归死人那里去了。
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun； that there is one event unto all： yea； also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil； and madness is in their heart while they live； and after that they go to the dead。
9：4与一切活人相连的，那人还有指望。因为活着的狗，比死了的狮子更强。
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope： for a living dog is better than a dead lion。
9：5活着的人，知道必死。死了的人，毫无所知。也不在得赏赐，他们的名无人记念。
For the living know that they shall die： but the dead know not any thing； neither have they any more a reward； for the memory of them is forgotten。
9：6他们的爱，他们的恨，他们的嫉妒，早都消灭了。在日光之下所行的一切事上，他们永不再有分了。
Also their love； and their hatred； and their envy； is now perished； neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun。
9：7你只管去欢欢喜喜吃你的饭。心中快乐喝你的酒。因为神已经悦纳你的作为。
Go thy way； eat thy bread with joy； and drink thy wine with a merry heart； for God now accepteth thy works。
9：8你的衣服当时常洁白。你头上也不要缺少膏油。
Let thy garments be always white； and let thy head lack no ointment。
9：9在你一生虚空的年日，就是神赐你在日光之下虚空的年日，当同你所爱的妻，快活度日。因为那是你生前，在日光之下劳碌的事上所得的分。
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity； which he hath given thee under the sun； all the days of thy vanity： for that is thy portion in this life； and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun。
9：10凡你手所当作的事，要尽力去作。因为在你所必去的阴间，没有工作，没有谋算，没有知识，也没有智慧。
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do； do it with thy might； for there is no work； nor device； nor knowledge； nor wisdom； in the grave； whither thou goest。
9：11我又转念，见日光之下，快跑的未必能嬴，力战的未必得胜，智慧的未必得粮食，明哲的未必得赀财，灵巧的未必得喜悦。所临到众人的，是在乎当时的机会
