Ecclesiastes 8

1 who? like/as [the] wise and who? to know interpretation word: thing wisdom man to light face his and strength face his to change

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2 I lip: word king to keep: obey and upon cause oath God

Keep the king's command, because of the oath to God.

3 not to dismay from face his to go: went not to stand: stand in/on/with word: case bad: evil for all which to delight in to make: do

Do not be hasty to go out of his presence. Do not persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

4 in/on/with in which word king power and who? to say to/for him what? to make: do

for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

5 to keep: obey commandment not to know word: thing bad: evil and time and justice: custom to know heart wise

Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

6 for to/for all pleasure there time and justice: custom for distress: harm [the] man many upon him

For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

7 for nothing he to know what? which/that to be for like/as as which to be who? to tell to/for him

For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

8 nothing man domineering in/on/with spirit to/for to restrain [obj] [the] spirit and nothing power in/on/with day [the] death and nothing deputation in/on/with battle and not to escape wickedness [obj] master: owning his

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

9 [obj] all this to see: see and to give: put [obj] heart my to/for all deed which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun time which to domineer [the] man in/on/with man to/for bad: evil to/for him

All this have I seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

10 and in/on/with so to see: see wicked to bury and to come (in): come and from place holy to go: went and to forget in/on/with city which right to make: do also this vanity

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from the holy place. They went and were praised in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

11 which nothing to make: do edict deed [the] distress: evil haste upon so to fill heart son: child [the] man in/on/with them to/for to make: do bad: evil

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

12 which to sin to make: do bad: evil hundred and to prolong to/for him for also to know I which to be pleasant to/for afraid [the] God which to fear: revere from to/for face: before his

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

13 and pleasant not to be to/for wicked and not to prolong day like/as shadow which nothing he afraid from to/for face: before God

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow; because he doesn't fear God.

14 there vanity which to make: do upon [the] land: country/planet which there righteous which to touch to(wards) them like/as deed [the] wicked and there wicked which/that to touch to(wards) them like/as deed [the] righteous to say which/that also this vanity

There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

15 and to praise I [obj] [the] joy which nothing pleasant to/for man underneath: under [the] sun that if: except if: except to/for to eat and to/for to drink and to/for to rejoice and he/she/it to join him in/on/with trouble his day life his which to give: give to/for him [the] God underneath: under [the] sun

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

16 like/as as which to give: put [obj] heart my to/for to know wisdom and to/for to see: see [obj] [the] task which to make: do upon [the] land: country/planet for also in/on/with day and in/on/with night sleep in/on/with eye: appearance his nothing he to see: see

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes),

17 and to see: see [obj] all deed: work [the] God for not be able [the] man to/for to find [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun in/on/with which/that to/for which to toil [the] man to/for to seek and not to find and also if to say [the] wise to/for to know not be able to/for to find

then I saw all the work of God, that man can't find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won't find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won't be able to find it.
