传道书 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
11 当慷慨施舍[a]，
因为日后必有收获。
2 当把你的资财分给多人，
因为你不知道日后会有什么灾难临到世上。
3 云中满了水，就会下雨。
树不论倒向南或倒向北，
倒在哪里就躺在哪里。
4 你若等待完美的天气，
必无法撒种，无法收割。
5 正如你不知道风的路线，不知道骨骼在母胎中如何形成，你也无法了解创造万物之上帝的作为。 6 你要早晚不停地撒种，因为你不知道什么时候撒的种子会发芽生长，或许所撒的都会带来收获。 7 光真美好，能够看见阳光真好！ 8 人一生不论活多久，都要活得快乐，但不要忘记死后有许多黑暗的日子。将来的一切都是虚空。 9 年轻人啊，在年轻时要快乐，要在青春岁月里使自己的心欢畅。心里想做什么就去做，眼睛想看什么就去看。然而，要切记：上帝必照你所行的一切审判你。 10 所以，你要抛开心中的烦恼和肉体的痛苦，因为青春年华转瞬即逝。

Ecclesiastes 11
English Standard Version Anglicised
Cast Your Bread upon the Waters
11 (A)Cast your bread upon the waters,
(B)for you will find it after many days.
2 (C)Give a portion to (D)seven, or even to eight,
(E)for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.
3 If the clouds are full of rain,
they empty themselves on the earth,
and if a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
4 He who observes the wind will not sow,
and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
5 As you do not know the way (F)the spirit comes to (G)the bones in the womb[a] of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening (H)withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to (I)see the sun.
8 So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember (J)that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is (K)vanity.
9 (L)Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. (M)Walk in the ways of your heart and (N)the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things (O)God will bring you into judgement.
10 Remove vexation from your heart, and (P)put away pain[b] from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
