Еклисиаст 6
1940 Bulgarian Bible
6 Има зло, което видях под слънцето, И е тежко върху човеците:
2 Човек, на когото Бог дава богатство и имот и почест, Така щото душата му не се лишава от нищо що би пожелал, На когото, обаче, Бог не дава власт да яде от тях, Но чужденец ги яде. Това е суета и лоша болест.
3 Ако роди човек сто чада, И живее много години, Така щото дните на годините му да станат много, А душата му <да> не се насити с благо, И още той не приема <прилично> погребение, - Казвам, че пометничето е по-щастливо от него;
4 Защото то е дошло в нищожество, и отива в тъмнина, И името му се покрива с тъмнина;
5 При туй, то не е видяло слънцето, и не е познало <нищо>, - По-добре е на него, отколкото на онзи.
6 Дори два пъти по хиляда години, ако би живял някой, и не види добро, Не отиват ли те всички в едно място?
7 Всичкият труд на човека е за устата му; Душата обаче не се насища.
8 Защото какво предимство има мъдрият над безумния? Или какво <предимство> има сиромахът, който умее как да се обхожда пред живите?
9 По-добре е да гледаш< нещо> с очите <си>, Отколкото да блуждаеш с желанието< си>. И това е суета и гонене на вятър.
10 Всяко нещо, което е съществувало, вече си е получило името; И известно е, че оня, <чието име> е Човек {Или: Адам, т.е., Червеникав (направен от червена пръст)}, Не може да се състезава с по-силния от него.
11 Понеже има много неща, които умножават суетата, То каква полза за човека?
12 Защото кой знае кое <е> добро за човека В живота, във всичките дни на суетния му живот; Който минава като сянка? Понеже кой ще извести на човека Какво ще бъде подир него под слънцето?
Ecclesiastes 6
New King James Version
Wealth Is Not the Goal of Life
6 There(A) is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2 A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, (B)so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; (C)yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil [a]affliction.
3 If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or (D)indeed he has no burial, I say that (E)a [b]stillborn child is better than he— 4 for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness. 5 Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man, 6 even if he lives a thousand years twice—but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one (F)place?
7 (G)All the labor of man is for his mouth,
And yet the soul is not satisfied.
8 For what more has the wise man than the fool?
What does the poor man have,
Who knows how to walk before the living?
9 Better is [c]the (H)sight of the eyes than the wandering of [d]desire.
This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
10 Whatever one is, he has been named (I)already,
For it is known that he is man;
(J)And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.
11 Since there are many things that increase vanity,
How is man the better?
12 For who knows what is good for man in life, [e]all the days of his [f]vain life which he passes like (K)a shadow? (L)Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

Contemporary English Version
Don't Depend on Wealth
6 There is something else terribly unfair, and it troubles everyone on earth. 2 God may give you everything you want—money, property, and wealth. Then God doesn't let you enjoy it, and someone you don't even know gets it all. That's senseless and terribly unfair!
3 You may live a long time and have a hundred children. But a child born dead is better off than you, unless you enjoy life and have a decent burial. 4-5 That child will never live to see the sun or to have a name, and it will go straight to the world of darkness. But it will still find more rest than you, 6 even if you live two thousand years and don't enjoy life. As you know, we all end up in the same place.
7 We struggle just to have enough to eat, but we are never satisfied. 8 We may be sensible, yet we are no better off than a fool. And if we are poor, it still doesn't do us any good to try to live right. 9 It's better to enjoy what we have than to always want something else, because that makes no more sense than chasing the wind.[a]
10 Everything that happens was decided long ago. We humans know what we are like, and we can't argue with God, because he is[b] too strong for us. 11 The more we talk, the less sense we make, so what good does it do to talk? 12 Life is short and meaningless, and it fades away like a shadow. Who knows what is best for us? Who knows what will happen after we are gone?
Ecclesiastes 6
New International Version
6 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind: 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them,(A) and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.(B)
3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn(C) child is better off than he.(D) 4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded. 5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man— 6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?(E)
7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth,
yet their appetite is never satisfied.(F)
8 What advantage have the wise over fools?(G)
What do the poor gain
by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
9 Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.(H)
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(I)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days(J) they pass through like a shadow?(K) Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
