9 What profit hath he that worketh in that in which he laboureth?
What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
10 I have seen the labour, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
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.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
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.
14 I know that, whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
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.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
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.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
17 I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
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.
18 I said in my heart concerning the state of the sons of men, that God might surely test them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
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.
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
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.
20 All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
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.
22 Therefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
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.
