Ecclesiastes 6
World English Bible
6 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men: 2 a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he; 4 for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness. 5 Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other. 6 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place? 7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 8 For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living? 9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind. 10 Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he. 11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man? 12 For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

6 Hay un mal que he visto bajo el sol(A), y muy común entre[a] los hombres: 2 un hombre a quien Dios ha dado riquezas, bienes y honores(B), y nada le falta a su alma de todo lo que desea(C), pero que Dios no le ha capacitado para disfrutar[b] de ellos, porque un extraño los disfruta[c]. Esto es vanidad y penosa aflicción.
3 Si un hombre engendra cien hijos y vive muchos años, por muchos que sean sus años[d], si su alma no se ha saciado de cosas buenas, y tampoco halla sepultura(D), entonces digo: «Mejor es el abortivo que él(E), 4 porque en vano viene, y a la oscuridad va; y en la oscuridad su nombre quedará oculto». 5 «Además, no ha visto el sol y nada sabe; más reposo tiene este que aquel. 6 Aunque el hombre viva dos veces mil años, pero no disfruta de[e] cosas buenas, ¿no van todos al mismo[f] lugar(F)?».
7 ¶Todo el trabajo del hombre es para su boca(G),
Sin embargo, su apetito no se sacia[g].
8 Pues ¿qué ventaja tiene el sabio sobre el necio(H)?
¿Qué ventaja tiene el pobre que sabe comportarse entre[h] los vivientes?
9 Mejor es lo que ven los ojos que lo que el alma desea[i](I).
También esto es vanidad y correr tras el viento[j](J).
10 ¶A lo que existe, ya se le ha dado nombre(K),
Y se sabe lo que es un hombre:
No puede luchar con el que es más fuerte que él(L).
11 Cuando hay muchas palabras, aumenta la vanidad.
¿Cuál es entonces la ventaja para el hombre?
12 Porque, ¿quién sabe lo que es bueno para el hombre durante su vida, en los contados días de su vana vida? Los pasará[k] como una sombra. Pues, ¿quién hará saber al hombre lo que sucederá después de él(M) bajo el sol?

Суетата на честолюбието и желанията
6 Има зло, което видях под слънцето, то тежко терзае хората: 2 (A)Ето човек, на когото Бог е дал богатство, слава и имот без никаква оскъдност в нищо, всичко, каквото би поискала душата му. Но Бог не му е отредил да им се радва, а им се радва чужд човек. Това е суета и тежко страдание. 3 (B)Дори да има някой сто деца, много години да натрупа и дните му да станат дълги, ако не се е наслаждавал на добро и няма той прилично погребение, бих казал тъй: „Пометнато дете от него по-честито е, 4 защото то напразно е дошло и е отишло в тъмнина, и името му в мрак е скрито. 5 Дори не е видяло, ни познало слънцето, но има по-добър покой от онзи.“ 6 И ако онзи би живял дори две хиляди години без наслада от доброто – няма ли всичко да отиде на същото място?
7 (C)Целият труд на човека е за устата му, а душата му не се насища. 8 С какво мъдрецът превъзхожда глупеца, с какво пък – сиромаха, който умее да живее сред живите? 9 По-добре ли е да гледаш с очите си, отколкото да блуждаеш с желанията си? И това е суета и гонене на вятър.
10 (D)Всичко, което е получило битие, получило е вече име. Знайно е какво означава човек. Затова не може той да спори в съд с по-силния от него. 11 Има много думи, които само умножават суетата. Каква полза за човека тогава? 12 (E)Защото кой знае що е добро за човека в живота през преброените дни на суетния му живот, които преживява като сянка? А и кой ще извести на човека какво ще се случи след него под слънцето?
Ecclesiastes 6
King James Version
Ecclesiastes 6
King James Version
6 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

New International Version
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?
