吝者生於世、雖永壽二千年、未嘗一日厚於自奉、其後與眾同歸一邱。

那人虽然活千年，再活千年，却不享福，众人岂不都归一个地方去吗？

那人虽然活千年，再活千年，却不能享福；众人岂不都归同一个地方去吗？

那人虽然活千年，再活千年，却不能享福；众人岂不都归同一个地方去吗？

就算那人活了千年，又活千年，却不能享受福乐，又如何呢？世人最终岂不都同归一处吗？

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？

就算那人活了两个千年，却没有享受好处，又怎样呢？难道所有人不都同归一处吗？

那人雖然活千年，再活千年，卻不享福，眾人豈不都歸一個地方去嗎？

那人雖然活千年，再活千年，卻不能享福；眾人豈不都歸同一個地方去嗎？

那人雖然活千年，再活千年，卻不能享福；眾人豈不都歸同一個地方去嗎？

就算那人活了千年，又活千年，卻不能享受福樂，又如何呢？世人最終豈不都同歸一處嗎？

那人即使活了一千年，再活一千年，也享受不到甚麼；他們兩者不是都歸一個地方嗎？

就使那人活了千年，再活了千年，卻沒有經驗過享樂，有甚麼用處？眾人不是都要歸於一個地方去麼？

就算那人活了兩個千年，卻沒有享受好處，又怎樣呢？難道所有人不都同歸一處嗎？

其人生存、雖歷千年而倍之、未嘗享福、其終非同歸一所乎、

彼有福而不自享、雖壽至二千年、亦屬徒然、終與眾人同往一所、○

even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

And that’s true even if he lives for 2,000 years but doesn’t get to enjoy his wealth. All people die and go to the grave, don’t they?

Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy no good— do not all go to the one place?

He might live a thousand years twice over but still not find contentment. And since he must die like everyone else— well, what’s the use?

And if a person lives a thousand years twice, but does not experience happiness, do not both go to the same place?

Even if the man lives a thousand years twice, but does not see good things— do not all go to one and the same place?”

even if he lives a thousand years twice— but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?

yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?

And if he lives a thousand years twice, but does not experience happiness, do not both go to the same place?

Yea, though he live a thousand years twice[ told], yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die!

Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?

其生也作以土、其死也返於土、俱歸一所、

人固有一死、既死有鞫之事、

我知爾必致我於死、入億兆當歸之窀穸。

我裸而出世、亦必裸而歸土、耶和華賜之、耶和華取之、當頌讚耶和華。

在彼無短折之年、不得考終者、壽至百齡、猶以為幼、未屆期頤、而殞沒者、人以為犯罪遭譴。

享壽九百三十歲而終。

命在呼吸、不復獲福、爾其垂念。

人有百子、又獲遐齡、生不能享福、死不得善葬、以我觀之、胎未成人者、較彼愈美。

民之多言、謂誰福我兮。予曰、願耶和華色相之光華、於我而普照。余歡然喜樂兮、雖旨酒孔多、五穀繁熟、比之且不足、

欲享遐齡、納多福。

非我建屋、他人居之、非我栽圃、他人食之、選民之壽、比諸樹木、恆食其力。

譬彼杜松、生於曠野、其地斥鹵、其壤燥烈、人蹤罕至、不沾膏澤。

享壽三百六十五歲。以諾所行、合乎上帝、上帝接之、不居於世。

人本摶土所為、死則返本、人之魂靈為上帝所賦畀、死則歸乎上帝。○
