因為世人的命運和獸的命運都一樣：這個會死，那個也一樣會死，他們都有一樣的氣息，人不比獸優越。這全是虛空！

因为世人遭遇的，兽也遭遇，所遭遇的都是一样：这个怎样死，那个也怎样死，气息都是一样。人不能强于兽，都是虚空。

因为世人遭遇的，走兽也遭遇，所遭遇的都一样：这个怎样死，那个也怎样死，他们都有一样的气息。人不能强于走兽，全是虚空；

因为世人遭遇的，走兽也遭遇，所遭遇的都一样：这个怎样死，那个也怎样死，他们都有一样的气息。人不能强于走兽，全是虚空；

因为人和兽的际遇并无分别，两者都难逃一死，活着都靠一口气。人并不比兽强，一切都是虚空。

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。

因为世人的命运和兽的命运都一样：这个会死，那个也一样会死，他们都有一样的气息，人不比兽优越。这全是虚空！

因為世人遭遇的，獸也遭遇，所遭遇的都是一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，氣息都是一樣。人不能強於獸，都是虛空。

因為世人遭遇的，走獸也遭遇，所遭遇的都一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，他們都有一樣的氣息。人不能強於走獸，全是虛空；

因為世人遭遇的，走獸也遭遇，所遭遇的都一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，他們都有一樣的氣息。人不能強於走獸，全是虛空；

因為人和獸的際遇並無分別，兩者都難逃一死，活著都靠一口氣。人並不比獸強，一切都是虛空。

因為世人所遭遇的與牲畜所遭遇的，都是一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，兩者的氣息都是一樣，所以人並不勝於牲畜。一切都是虛空。

因為人類所遭遇的、獸類也遭遇着：他們都有一樣的遭遇：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死；二者都有一樣的氣息：人比獸並沒有甚麼長處；都是虛空。

人所遇者、獸亦遇之、人與獸所遇惟一、此之死猶彼之死、同一氣之呼吸、人無所愈於獸、悉屬虛空、

世人禽獸、同一氣之呼吸、其必死無以異也、則人不遠於禽獸、而萬事悉歸諸虛矣。

人命獸命俱同、原文作人之所遇無異獸之所遇人與獸所遇惟一死亦彼此無異、皆恃呼吸之氣、如此、人無所勝於獸、皆屬於虛、

Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.

Surely what happens to animals happens to people too. Death waits for people and animals alike. People die, just as animals do. All of them have the same breath. People don’t have any advantage over animals. Nothing has any meaning.

For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.

For people and animals share the same fate— both breathe and both must die. So people have no real advantage over the animals. How meaningless!

For the fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile.

For the fate of the sons of mankind and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath, and there is no advantage for mankind over animals, for all is futility.

For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

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; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.

For the fate of people and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile.

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 humans and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting.

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity.

可是人在尊榮中不能持久，就像要滅亡的牲畜一樣。

人在尊榮中卻沒有悟性，就像要滅亡的牲畜一樣。

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？

看哪，你賜給我的年日屈指可數，我的一生在你面前如同無有；所有人站得最穩的時候，也都全然虛空！細拉人們往來行走，只是幻像；他們喧鬧，也是虛空；他們積聚，卻不知道誰會收取。

求你記念我的一生是多麼短暫，你創造的所有世人是多麼虛妄！誰能存活而不見死亡呢？誰能救自己的靈魂脫離陰間的權勢呢？細拉

你隱藏你的臉，牠們就惶恐；你收回牠們的氣息，牠們就斷氣，歸回塵土。

於是我回顧我在日光之下勞苦所做的一切工，就心感絕望；因為一個人用智慧、知識和技能勞苦工作，卻把自己所得的份給了那未曾勞苦的人。這也是虛空，也是極大的悲苦！人一切的勞苦和他心裡的追求，就是他在日光之下的勞碌所為，到底能為自己成就什麼呢？其實他一生的日子都是痛苦，他的事務都是煩惱，他的心甚至在夜間也不得安息。這也是虛空！

確實我們都會死去，如同潑在地上的水不能收回，但神不是要取人性命，而是要想出方法不讓流亡者一直被驅逐而遠離他。

愚拙人不明白，愚昧人不領悟：儘管惡人如牧草茂盛，所有做壞事的人都興旺，他們也要被永遠除滅。

智慧人看得見他的道路，愚昧人卻在黑暗中行走。不過我也明白，同樣的命運會臨到他們這兩種人。
