传道书 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
传道者言万事尽属虚空
1 在耶路撒冷做王，大卫的儿子传道者的言语。
2 传道者说：虚空的虚空，虚空的虚空，凡事都是虚空。 3 人一切的劳碌，就是他在日光之下的劳碌，有什么益处呢？ 4 一代过去，一代又来，地却永远长存。 5 日头出来，日头落下，急归所出之地。 6 风往南刮，又向北转，不住地旋转，而且返回转行原道。 7 江河都往海里流，海却不满；江河从何处流，仍归还何处。 8 万事令人厌烦[a]，人不能说尽。眼看，看不饱；耳听，听不足。 9 已有的事后必再有，已行的事后必再行，日光之下并无新事。 10 岂有一件事人能指着说“这是新的”？哪知，在我们以前的世代早已有了。 11 已过的世代无人记念，将来的世代后来的人也不记念。
12 我传道者，在耶路撒冷做过以色列的王。 13 我专心用智慧寻求查究天下所做的一切事，乃知神叫世人所经练的，是极重的劳苦。 14 我见日光之下所做的一切事都是虚空，都是捕风。 15 弯曲的不能变直，缺少的不能足数。 16 我心里议论说：“我得了大智慧，胜过我以前在耶路撒冷的众人，而且我心中多经历智慧和知识的事。” 17 我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧，乃知这也是捕风。 18 因为多有智慧就多有愁烦，加增知识的就加增忧伤。

Ecclesiastes 1
Darby Translation
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! all is vanity.
3 What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun?
4 [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever.
5 The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.
6 The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about towards the north: it turneth about continually, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.
7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.
8 All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which will be done: and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already in the ages which were before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.
12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I applied my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this grievous occupation hath God given to the children of men to weary themselves therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and pursuit of the wind.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have acquired wisdom more than all they that have been before me over Jerusalem; and my heart hath seen much of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I applied my heart to the knowledge of wisdom, and to the knowledge of madness and folly: I perceived that this also is a striving after the wind.
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
