傳 道 書 4:9-16
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
9 兩 個 人 總 比 一 個 人 好 ， 因 為 二 人 勞 碌 同 得 美 好 的 果 效 。
10 若 是 跌 倒 ， 這 人 可 以 扶 起 他 的 同 伴 ； 若 是 孤 身 跌 倒 ， 沒 有 別 人 扶 起 他 來 ， 這 人 就 有 禍 了 。
11 再 者 ， 二 人 同 睡 就 都 暖 和 ， 一 人 獨 睡 怎 能 暖 和 呢 ？
12 有 人 攻 勝 孤 身 一 人 ， 若 有 二 人 便 能 敵 擋 他 ； 三 股 合 成 的 繩 子 不 容 易 折 斷 。
13 貧 窮 而 有 智 慧 的 少 年 人 勝 過 年 老 不 肯 納 諫 的 愚 昧 王 。
14 這 人 是 從 監 牢 中 出 來 作 王 ， 在 他 國 中 ， 生 來 原 是 貧 窮 的 。
15 我 見 日 光 之 下 一 切 行 動 的 活 人 都 隨 從 那 第 二 位 ， 就 是 起 來 代 替 老 王 的 少 年 人 。
16 他 所 治 理 的 眾 人 就 是 他 的 百 姓 ， 多 得 無 數 ； 在 他 後 來 的 人 尚 且 不 喜 悅 他 。 這 真 是 虛 空 ， 也 是 捕 風 。

传道书 4:9-16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
9 两个人总比一个人好，因为二人劳碌同得美好的成果。 10 一人跌倒，总有同伴相扶。但孤身一人、跌倒了无人相扶的真悲惨！ 11 还有，二人同睡会暖和，一人独睡怎能暖和呢？ 12 遭遇攻击，一人独自不能抵挡，二人并肩就能对付。三股拧成的绳子不容易断。 13 贫穷但有智慧的青年，胜过年老、愚昧、不再纳谏的君王。 14 虽然这青年在本国出身贫寒，却能从囚犯成为君王。 15 我看见所有日光之下的人都起来拥护这位代替老君王的青年。 16 拥护他的人不计其数，以后的世代却对他不满。这也是虚空，如同捕风。

Ecclesiastes 4:9-16
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 4:9-16
New International Version
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Advancement Is Meaningless
13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. 14 The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. 15 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. 16 There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-16
King James Version
Ecclesiastes 4:9-16
King James Version
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
16 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
