- 焦って 口を 開き, 心せいて /神の 前に 言葉を 出そうとするな. 神は 天にいまし, あなたは 地上にいる. 言葉數を 少なくせよ.
- 夢を 見るのは 惱みごとが 多いから. 愚者の 聲と 知れるのは 口數が 多いから.
- 神に 願をかけたら /誓いを 果たすのを 遲らせてはならない. 愚か 者は 神に 喜ばれない. 願をかけたら, 誓いを 果たせ.
- 願をかけておきながら 誓いを 果たさないなら /願をかけないほうがよい.
- 口が 身を 滅ぼすことにならないように. 使者に「あれは 間違いでした 」などと 言うな. 神はその 聲を 聞いて 怒り /あなたの 手の 業を 滅ぼされるであろう.

- Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
- Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
- For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
- When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
- Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
|
- 夢や 空想が 多いと 刈舌になる. 神を 畏れ 敬え.
- 貧しい 人が 虐げられていることや, 不正な 裁き, 正義の 欠如などがこの 國にあるのを 見ても, 驚くな. なぜなら /身分の 高い 者が, 身分の 高い 者をかばい /更に 身分の 高い 者が 兩者をかばうのだから.
- 何にもまして 國にとって 益となるのは /王が 耕地を 大切にすること.
- 銀を 愛する 者は 銀に 飽くことなく /富を 愛する 者は 收益に 滿足しない. これまた 空しいことだ.
- 財産が 增せば, それを 食らう 者も 增す. 持ち 主は 眺めているばかりで, 何の 得もない.

- Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
- For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
- If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
- Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
- He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

- ¿く 者の 眠りは 快い /滿腹していても, 飢えていても. 金持ちは 食べ 飽きていて 眠れない.
- 太陽の 下に, 大きな 不幸があるのを 見た. 富の 管理が 惡くて 持ち 主が 損をしている.
- 下手に 使ってその 富を 失い /息子が 生まれても, 彼の 手には 何もない.
- 人は, 裸で 母の 胎を 出たように, 裸で 歸る. 來た 時の 姿で, 行くのだ. 勞苦の 結果を 何ひとつ 持って 行くわけではない.
- これまた, 大いに 不幸なことだ. 來た 時と 同じように, 行かざるをえない. 風を 追って 勞苦して, 何になろうか.
|
- When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
- The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
- There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
- But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
- As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
|
- その 一生の 間, 食べることさえ 闇の 中. 惱み, 患い, 怒りは 盡きない.
- 見よ, わたしの 見たことはこうだ. 神に 與えられた 短い 人生の 日¿に, 飮み 食いし, 太陽の 下で 勞苦した 結果のすべてに 滿足することこそ, 幸福で 良いことだ. それが 人の 受けるべき 分だ.
- 神から 富や 財寶をいただいた 人は 皆, それを 享受し, 自らの 分をわきまえ, その 勞苦の 結果を 樂しむように 定められている. これは 神の 賜物なのだ.
- 彼はその 人生の 日¿をあまり 思い 返すこともない. 神がその 心に 喜びを 與えられるのだから.

- And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
- All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
- Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
- Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
- For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
