传道书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
万物有时
3 天下万物都有定期，
凡事都有定时。
2 出生有时，死亡有时；
耕种有时，拔出有时；
3 杀戮有时，医治有时；
拆毁有时，建造有时；
4 哭泣有时，欢笑有时；
哀伤有时，雀跃有时；
5 抛石有时，堆石有时[a]；
拥抱有时，避开有时；
6 寻找有时，遗失有时；
保存有时，丢弃有时；
7 撕裂有时，缝合有时；
沉默有时，发言有时；
8 爱慕有时，憎恶有时；
争战有时，和好有时。
9 那么，人劳碌做工有什么益处呢？ 10 我察觉上帝给世人重担，使他们忙碌不休。 11 祂使万事各按其时变得美好，又把永恒的意识放在人心里，人却不能测透上帝从始至终的作为。 12 我认识到，人生在世没有什么比欢乐、享受更好。 13 人人都该吃喝、享受自己劳苦的成果，这是上帝的恩赐。 14 我知道，上帝所做的都会存到永远，谁也不能增减。祂这样安排是叫人敬畏祂。 15 现在的事并不是新事，未来的事也早已发生过。上帝使过去的事再次出现。
世间的不公
16 我又看到日光之下，即使在公道和正义之地也有邪恶。 17 我心里想：“不论义人或恶人，上帝必审判，因为万事万务都有受审之时。” 18 我又想：“至于世人，上帝试验他们，是要他们知道自己与兽类无异。 19 因为人和兽的际遇并无分别，两者都难逃一死，活着都靠一口气。人并不比兽强，一切都是虚空。 20 两者都同归一处，出于尘土，也归于尘土。 21 谁知道人的气息[b]会向上升，兽的气息会降到地下呢？” 22 因此，我觉得没有什么比人享受工作之乐更好，因为这是人当得的。人死后，谁能使他看到世间的事呢？

Ecclesiastes 3
Tree of Life Version
A Time For Everything
3 For everything there is a season
and a time for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to give birth and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted;
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance;
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek and a time to lose,
a time to keep and a time to discard;
7 a time to tear apart and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak;
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What gain, then, does the laborer get with his toil? 10 I have seen the task that God has given to the children of men to keep them occupied.
Yet Eternity In Their Heart
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Moreover, He has set eternity in their heart—yet without the possibility that humankind can ever discover the work that God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy themselves in their lifetime. 13 Also when anyone eats and drinks, and finds satisfaction in all of his labor, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything that God does will endure forever. There is no adding to it or taking from it. God has made it so, that they will revere Him.
15 Whatever exists, has already been
and whatever will be, has already been,
but God recalls what has passed.
16 I have also seen under the sun:
In the place of justice there was wickedness,
and in the place of righteousness there was wickedness.
17 I said in my heart:
“The righteous and the wicked,
God will judge.
For there is a time for every activity
and for every deed.”
Humans Same As Beasts?
18 I also said in my heart, “As for the sons of man, God tests them so that they may see that they are but animals.” 19 For the destiny of humankind and the destiny of animals are one and the same. As one dies, so dies the other. Both have the same breath—a human has no advantage over an animal—both are fleeting. 20 Both go to one place. Both were taken from the dust, and both return to the dust. 21 Who knows that the spirit of the sons of man ascends upward and the animal’s spirit descends into the earth?
22 So I perceived that nothing is better than for man to enjoy his works, because that is his portion. For who can bring him back to see what will be in the future?
