因為智者和愚人一樣，不過被人記得一時，日後都會被遺忘。兩者都難逃死亡。

智慧人和愚昧人一样，永远无人记念，因为日后都被忘记；可叹智慧人死亡，与愚昧人无异。

智慧人和愚昧人一样，不会长久被人记念，因为日后都被遗忘。可叹！智慧人和愚昧人都一样会死亡。

因為智慧人與愚昧人一樣，不會被永遠記念；在將要來的日子，一切都會被忘掉。為什麼智慧人像愚昧人一樣會死亡呢？

智者愚者、永不見憶、蓋至來日、皆必遺忘、噫、智者之死、曷同於愚者哉、

智愚既同歸於死、而後世忘其名、天下事皆作如是觀。

智者與愚者永不見憶、同也、蓋今日所有之事、將來皆忘、可歎智者之死、無異愚者、

For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die!

Like a foolish person, a wise person won’t be remembered very long. The days have already come when both of them have been forgotten. Like a person who is foolish, a wise person must die too!

For of the wise as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise dies just like the fool!

For the wise and the foolish both die. The wise will not be remembered any longer than the fool. In the days to come, both will be forgotten.

For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise person dies just like the fool?

For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, along with the fool, since in the coming days everything will soon be forgotten. And how the wise and the fool alike die!

For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise man dies just like the fool?

For[ there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now[ is] in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise[ man]? as the fool.

For the wise man, like the fool, will not be remembered for very long, because in the days to come, both will already have been forgotten. Alas, the wise man dies– just like the fool!

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

過去的事無人記得，將來的事後人也不記得。

因為活著的人還知道自己終有一死，但死了的人什麼都不知道，再也得不到任何賞賜，他們被忘得一乾二淨。

黑暗之地有誰知道你的神蹟呢？在被遺忘之地有誰知道你的公義作為呢？

眾所周知，即使智者也要死去，愚人和庸者也要滅亡，將他們的財富留給別人。

大衛王哀悼押尼珥，說：「押尼珥啊！你怎能死得糊里糊塗呢？

智者高瞻遠矚，愚人卻在黑暗中摸索。但我知道兩者終必有同樣的命運。

按著定命，人人都有一死，死後還有審判。

一經風吹，便無影無蹤，永遠消逝。

那麼，智者比愚人有什麼優勢呢？貧窮人即使懂得如何處世，又有什麼益處呢？

那時，埃及有一位不認識約瑟的新王登基，

後來，約瑟和他的弟兄以及同輩的人都相繼去世。

那時，敬畏耶和華的彼此交談，耶和華必留心傾聽，祂面前的紀念冊上記錄著敬畏祂和尊崇祂名的人。
