٩ 9 فَأَيُّ مَنْفَعَةٍ لِمَنْ يَتْعَبُ مِمَّا يَتْعَبُ بِهِ؟

What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.

١٠ 10 قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱلشُّغْلَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ ٱللهُ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ لِيَشْتَغِلُوا بِهِ.

I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.

١١ 11 صَنَعَ ٱلْكُلَّ حَسَنًا فِي وَقْتِهِ، وَأَيْضًا جَعَلَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ فِي قَلْبِهِمِ، ٱلَّتِي بِلَاهَا لَا يُدْرِكُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُهُ ٱللهُ مِنَ ٱلْبِدَايَةِ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.

Everything he has made beautiful in time its also perpetuity he has put in heart their because not which not he will find humankind the work which he has done God from beginning and to end.

١٢ 12 عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَفْرَحُوا وَيَفْعَلُوا خَيْرًا فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ.

I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.

١٣ 13 وَأَيْضًا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَيَشْرَبَ وَيَرَى خَيْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ تَعَبِهِ، فَهُوَ عَطِيَّةُ ٱللهِ.

And also every person that he will eat and he will drink and he will see good in all toil his [is] a gift of God it.

١٤ 14 قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ ٱللهُ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. لَا شَيْءَ يُزَادُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا شَيْءَ يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُ، وَأَنَّ ٱللهَ عَمِلَهُ حَتَّى يَخَافُوا أَمَامَهُ.

I know that all that he does God it it will be for ever to it not to add and from it not to take away and God he has acted that people will fear from to before him.

١٥ 15 مَا كَانَ فَمِنَ ٱلْقِدَمِ هُوَ، وَمَا يَكُونُ فَمِنَ ٱلْقِدَمِ قَدْ كَانَ. وَٱللهُ يَطْلُبُ مَا قَدْ مَضَى.

Whatever that is [has been] already it and [that] which [is] to be already it has been and God he will seek [what] was pursued.

١٦ 16 وَأَيْضًا رَأَيْتُ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّمْسِ: مَوْضِعَ ٱلْحَقِّ هُنَاكَ ٱلظُّلْمُ، وَمَوْضِعَ ٱلْعَدْلِ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجَوْرُ!

And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.

١٧ 17 فَقُلْتُ فِي قَلْبِي: «ٱللهُ يَدِينُ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ، لِأَنَّ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ وَقْتًا هُنَاكَ».

I said I in heart my the righteous and the wicked he will judge God for a time [is] for every matter and on every deed there.

١٨ 18 قُلْتُ فِي قَلْبِي: «مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورِ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، إِنَّ ٱللهَ يَمْتَحِنُهُمْ لِيُرِيَهُمْ أَنَّهُ كَمَا ٱلْبَهِيمَةِ هَكَذَا هُمْ».

I said I in heart my on cause of [the] children of humankind to test them God and to see that they [are] animal[s] they for themselves.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ مَا يَحْدُثُ لِبَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ يَحْدُثُ لِلْبَهِيمَةِ، وَحَادِثَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَهُمْ. مَوْتُ هَذَا كَمَوْتِ ذَاكَ، وَنَسَمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لِلْكُلِّ. فَلَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ مَزِيَّةٌ عَلَى ٱلْبَهِيمَةِ، لِأَنَّ كِلَيْهِمَا بَاطِلٌ.

For [the] fate of [the] children of humankind and [the] fate of animal[s] and fate one [belongs] to them like [the] death of this so [the] death of this and breath one [belongs] to all and [the] advantage of humankind [is] more than the animal[s] not for everything [is] futility.

٢٠ 20 يَذْهَبُ كِلَاهُمَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ. كَانَ كِلَاهُمَا مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَإِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ يَعُودُ كِلَاهُمَا.

Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.

٢١ 21 مَنْ يَعْلَمُ رُوحَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ هَلْ هِيَ تَصْعَدُ إِلَى فَوْقٍ؟ وَرُوحَ ٱلْبَهِيمَةِ هَلْ هِيَ تَنْزِلُ إِلَى أَسْفَلَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟

Who? [is] knowing [the] spirit of [the] children of humankind that is going up it upwards and [the] spirit of the animal[s] that is going down it downwards to the earth.

٢٢ 22 فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا شَيْءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَفْرَحَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ بِأَعْمَالِهِ، لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ نَصِيبَهُ. لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيَرَى مَا سَيَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ؟

And I saw that there not [is] good more than that he will be happy humankind in work his for that [is] portion his for who? will he bring him to look on whatever that will be after him.
