万事均有定时劳碌无益

凡事都有定期,天下万务都有定时。 生有时,死有时。栽种有时,拔出所栽种的也有时。 杀戮有时,医治有时。拆毁有时,建造有时。 哭有时,笑有时。哀恸有时,跳舞有时。 抛掷石头有时,堆聚石头有时。怀抱有时,不怀抱有时。 寻找有时,失落有时。保守有时,舍弃有时。 撕裂有时,缝补有时。静默有时,言语有时。 喜爱有时,恨恶有时。争战有时,和好有时。 这样看来,做事的人在他的劳碌上有什么益处呢? 10 我见神叫世人劳苦,使他们在其中受经练。 11 神造万物,各按其时成为美好,又将永生[a]安置在世人心里,然而神从始至终的作为,人不能参透。

A Time for Everything

There is a time(A) for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,(B)
    a time to kill(C) and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent(D) and a time to speak,
    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

What do workers gain from their toil?(E) 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.(F) 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.(G) He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom(H) what God has done from beginning to end.(I)
