我專心求智慧，要看世上所做的事。（有晝夜不睡覺不合眼的。）

我专心求智慧，要看世上所做的事。（有昼夜不睡觉不合眼的。）

我专心想要明白智慧，要观看世上所发生的事。有人昼夜不得阖眼睡觉。

我专心想要明白智慧，要观看世上所发生的事。有人昼夜不得阖眼睡觉。

我全心去寻求智慧，观察世上所发生的事，甚至昼夜不眠，

我专心认识智慧，察看世上的劳碌─有人昼夜不眠─

当我用心去明白智慧，去看地上所发生的事——有人昼夜不合眼不睡觉——

我專心想要明白智慧，要觀看世上所發生的事。有人晝夜不得闔眼睡覺。

我專心想要明白智慧，要觀看世上所發生的事。有人晝夜不得闔眼睡覺。

我全心去尋求智慧，觀察世上所發生的事，甚至晝夜不眠，

我專心認識智慧，察看世上的勞碌─有人晝夜不眠─

我用心要認識智慧，要看明地上所常發生的事體；

當我用心去明白智慧，去看地上所發生的事——有人晝夜不合眼不睡覺——

我專心欲明智慧、而察世間之事、有晝夜不寐者、

自是而後、我欲擴吾識見、遍覽天下事、見斯世有人、永朝永夕、不遑假寐、

我專心求智慧、遍覽世間所作之事、見有人晝夜不寢、未遑合目、

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth— people getting no sleep day or night—

I used my mind to understand what it really means to be wise. I wanted to observe the hard work people do on earth. They don’t close their eyes and go to sleep day or night.

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one’s eyes see sleep,

In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people’s burdens here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night.

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the activity that is done on the earth( even though one’s eyes do not close in sleep day or night),

When I devoted my mind to know wisdom and to see the business which has been done on the earth( even though one should never sleep day or night),

When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth( for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the activity that is done on the earth( even though one’s eyes do not close in sleep day or night),

When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth:( for also[ there is that] neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

When I tried to gain wisdom and to observe the activity on earth– even though it prevents anyone from sleeping day or night–

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth( even though eyes see no sleep day or night),

你們清晨早起，夜晚安歇，吃勞碌得來的飯，本是枉然；惟有耶和華所親愛的，必叫他安然睡覺。

我專心用智慧尋求、查究天下所做的一切事，乃知神叫世人所經練的是極重的勞苦。

因為他日日憂慮，他的勞苦成為愁煩，連夜間心也不安。這也是虛空。

他不知道將來的事，因為將來如何，誰能告訴他呢？

這一切我都見過，也專心查考日光之下所做的一切事。有時這人管轄那人，令人受害。

我白日受盡乾熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是這樣。

勞碌的人不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜；富足人的豐滿卻不容他睡覺。

我轉念，一心要知道，要考察，要尋求智慧和萬事的理由；又要知道邪惡為愚昧，愚昧為狂妄。

有人孤單無二，無子無兄，竟勞碌不息，眼目也不以錢財為足。他說：「我勞勞碌碌，刻苦自己，不享福樂，到底是為誰呢？」這也是虛空，是極重的勞苦。
