智者明於目、愚者行於暗、我知其終、所遇一也、

智者明目、愚人行暗、及其終也、何異之有。

智者凡事目明、愚者行於幽暗、然亦知智者愚者所遇、無以異也、

The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.

The eyes of a wise person see things clearly. A person who is foolish lives in darkness. But I finally realized that death catches up with both of them.

The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.

For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.” Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate.

The wise person has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.

The wise person’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one and the same fate happens to both of them.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.

聪明人面前有智慧，愚昧人却眼望地极。

他看见智慧人死去，愚昧人和愚顽人一同灭亡，把他们的财产留给别人。

我又看见在日光之下，跑得快的未必得奖，勇士未必战胜，智慧的未必得粮食，精明的未必致富，博学的未必得人赏识，因为时机和际遇左右众人。

因为世人所遭遇的与牲畜所遭遇的，都是一样：这个怎样死，那个也怎样死，两者的气息都是一样，所以人并不胜于牲畜。一切都是虚空。

我留心这一切事，并加以阐明：就是义人、智慧人和他们所作的，都在神手里。临到他们的一切，无论是爱是恨，人都不领悟。众人的命运都是一样的：义人与恶人、好人与坏人、洁净的与不洁净的、献祭的与不献祭的，所遭遇的都是一样的；好人怎样，罪人也怎样；起誓的怎样，怕起誓的也怎样。在日光之下所发生的一切事，有一件令人遗憾的，就是众人的命运都是一样的，并且世人的心充满邪恶，一生心怀狂妄，后来都归到死人那里去。

都比金子宝贵，比大量的精金更宝贵；比蜜甘甜，比蜂房滴下来的蜜更甘甜；

于是我说：“智慧胜过武力”，但是那个穷人的智慧被藐视，他的话也没有人听从。

那人即使活了一千年，再活一千年，也享受不到什么；他们两者不是都归一个地方吗？

精明人的智慧能分辨自己的道路；愚昧人的愚妄却欺骗自己。

往服丧之家，比往宴乐之家还好，因为死是人人的结局，活人要把这事放在心上。

谁像智慧人，谁知道事情的解释呢？人的智慧使他容光焕发，使他脸上的戾气转消。

智慧人的心向右，愚昧人的心偏左。愚昧人连走路的时候，也显出无知；他对每一个人表现出他是个愚昧人（“他对每一个人表现出他是个愚昧人”或译：“他称每一个人都是愚昧的”）。
