So I perceived there is nothing better than for people to enjoy their work, because that is their reward; for who can show them what the future holds?

故此，我见人莫强如在他经营的事上喜乐，因为这是他的份。他身后的事谁能使他回来得见呢？

总而言之，人能够在他经营的事上喜乐，是最好不过了，因为这是他应得的报偿。他身后的事谁能领他回来看呢？

总而言之，人能够在他经营的事上喜乐，是最好不过了，因为这是他应得的报偿。他身后的事谁能领他回来看呢？

因此，我觉得没有什么比人享受工作之乐更好，因为这是人当得的。人死后，谁能使他看到世间的事呢？

因此我看人最好是在自己所作的事上自得其乐，因为这也是他的分；谁能使他看见他自己死后的事呢？

因此我看到：没有什么比人在自己所做的事上自得其乐更好，因为这是他的份。谁能带他去看在他之后所发生的事呢？

故此，我見人莫強如在他經營的事上喜樂，因為這是他的分。他身後的事誰能使他回來得見呢？

總而言之，人能夠在他經營的事上喜樂，是最好不過了，因為這是他應得的報償。他身後的事誰能領他回來看呢？

因此我看人最好是在自己所作的事上自得其樂，因為這也是他的分；誰能使他看見他自己死後的事呢？

故此我看人莫如在他所作的事上喜樂；因為這是他的分；他身後要怎麼樣、誰能使他回來看到呢？

因此我看到：沒有什麼比人在自己所做的事上自得其樂更好，因為這是他的份。誰能帶他去看在他之後所發生的事呢？

我見世人樂於其操作、無愈於此、蓋斯為其值、身後之事、孰能使之反見哉、

惟我竊思、人既勤勞以得之、莫若安樂以享之、厥後之事、難以逆睹。

故我思、人莫若樂享所經營者、以為可得之分惟此、身後之事、孰能使之逆睹哉、

So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

So a person should enjoy their work. That’s what God made them for. I saw that there’s nothing better for them to do than that. After all, who can show them what will happen after they are gone?

So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?

So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life. And no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die.

I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?

I have seen that nothing is better than when a person is happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?

So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?

I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?

Wherefore 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?

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in their work. I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment comes from God.

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.I have concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live,

Surely no one knows the future, and no one can tell another person what will happen.

yet a fool keeps on babbling. No one knows what will happen; who can tell him what will happen in the future?

For no one knows what is best for a person during his life– during the few days of his fleeting life– for they pass away like a shadow. Nor can anyone tell him what the future will hold for him on earth.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near!

Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes, but know that God will judge your motives and actions.

I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all their hard work on earth during the few days of their life which God has given them, for this is their reward.To every man whom God has given wealth, and possessions, he has also given him the ability to eat from them, to receive his reward and to find enjoyment in his toil; these things are the gift of God.For he does not think much about the fleeting days of his life because God keeps him preoccupied with the joy he derives from his activity.

So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground’s produce that you, LORD, have given me.” Then you must set it down before the LORD your God and worship before him.You will celebrate all the good things that the LORD your God has given you and your family, along with the Levites and the resident foreigners among you.

If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.

So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Surely, no one knows his appointed time! Like fish that are caught in a deadly net, and like birds that are caught in a snare– just like them, all people are ensnared at an unfortunate time that falls upon them suddenly.

Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, because God has already approved your works.Let your clothes always be white, and do not spare precious ointment on your head.Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth.

I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. So all my accomplishments gave me joy; this was my reward for all my effort.Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, I concluded:“ All these achievements and possessions are ultimately profitless– like chasing the wind! There is nothing gained from them on earth.”

Both you and your families must feast there before the LORD your God and rejoice in all the output of your labor with which he has blessed you.

But you should go your way until the end. You will rest and then at the end of the days you will arise to receive what you have been allotted.”

Only in the presence of the LORD your God may you eat these, in the place he chooses. This applies to you, your son, your daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages. In that place you will rejoice before the LORD your God in all the output of your labor.

Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord.Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.

So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.

He said,“ Go, Daniel. For these matters are closed and sealed until the time of the end.Many will be purified, made clean, and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, though the wise will understand.

“ Because you have not served the LORD your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have,
