和 传6:1 我见日光之下有一宗祸患重压在人身上，
K 传6:1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
N 传6:1 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on men:
和 传6:2 就是人蒙 神赐他资财、丰富、尊荣，以致他心里所愿的一样都不缺，只是 神使他不能吃用，反有外人来吃用。这是虚空，也是祸患。
K 传6:2 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.
N 传6:2 God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires, but God does not enable him to enjoy them, and a stranger enjoys them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.
和 传6:3 人若生一百个儿子，活许多岁数，以致他的年日甚多，心里却不得满享福乐，又不得埋葬；据我说，那不到期而落的胎比他倒好。
K 传6:3 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.
N 传6:3 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 child is better off than he.
和 传6:4 因为虚虚而来，暗暗而去，名字被黑暗遮蔽，
K 传6:4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
N 传6:4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.
和 传6:5 并且没有见过天日，也毫无知觉，这胎比那人倒享安息。
K 传6:5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
N 传6:5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man--
和 传6:6 那人虽然活千年，再活千年，却不享福，众人岂不都归一个地方去吗？
K 传6:6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
N 传6:6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
和 传6:7 人的劳碌都为口腹，心里却不知足。
K 传6:7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
N 传6:7 All man's efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.
和 传6:8 这样看来，智慧人比愚昧人，有什么长处呢？穷人在众人面前知道如何行，有什么长处呢？
K 传6:8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
N 传6:8 What advantage has a wise man over a fool? What does a poor man gain by knowing how to conduct himself before others?
和 传6:9 眼睛所看的，比心里妄想的倒好。这也是虚空，也是捕风。
K 传6:9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
N 传6:9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
和 传6:10 先前所有的，早已起了名，并知道何为人，他也不能与那比自己力大的相争。
K 传6:10 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.
N 传6:10 Whatever exists has already been named, and what man is has been known; no man can contend with one who is stronger than he.
和 传6:11 加增虚浮的事既多，这与人有什么益处呢？
K 传6:11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
N 传6:11 The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?
和 传6:12 人一生虚度的日子，就如影儿经过，谁知道什么与他有益呢？谁能告诉他身后在日光之下有什么事呢？
K 传6:12 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?
N 传6:12 For who knows what is good for a man in life, during the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow? Who can tell him what will happen under the sun after he is gone?
