人生在世、猶如幻影、營謀皆是枉然、積蓄不知誰取、

世人行动实系幻影。他们忙乱，真是枉然；积蓄财宝，不知将来有谁收取。

世人行动实系幻影，他们忙乱，真是枉然，积蓄财宝，不知将来有谁收取。

人生不过是幻影，劳碌奔波却一场空，积蓄财富却不知谁来享用。

世人来来往往只是幻影，他们忙乱也是虚空；积聚财物，却不知道谁要来收取。

人们往来行走，只是幻像；他们喧闹，也是虚空；他们积蓄，却不知道谁会收取。

世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。

人生不過是幻影，勞碌奔波卻一場空，積蓄財富卻不知誰來享用。

世人來來往往只是幻影，他們忙亂也是虛空；積聚財物，卻不知道誰要來收取。

人走來走去、簡直是影兒；悲哀歎息不過是虛幻；他積聚着財寶，不知誰來收取。

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。

世人行動乃虛幻、擾攘乃徒勞、積蓄貨財、不知誰取兮、

各人所為、無非捉影、諠譟徒勞兮、積累財貨、不知孰得兮。

人無百年好。花無百日香。

“ Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.

People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn’t mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don’t know who will finally get it.

Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.

Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.

Certainly every person walks around as a fleeting shadow; They certainly make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

Surely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

“ Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up[ riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”

“ Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

天主所悅者、賜以智慧、知識、歡樂、獲罪於天主者、天主則畀以收斂積蓄之任、終歸於天主所悅者用、此亦屬於虛、亦如捕風、

但明日究竟如何、爾不知也、爾之生命如何、乃如雲霧暫現、頃刻即不見矣、

享此世者當如不享、蓋此世之形狀將逝矣、

惟天主謂之曰、愚者乎、今夜將索爾靈、則所備者歸於誰、凡為己積財、而在天主前不富者、亦如是、

蓋裸身而去、與其出母胎而來無異、所勞碌而得者、毫不能攜、

爾當以一切所慮之事託於天主、天主必眷顧爾、

事之大要、我儕俱當聽之、即敬畏天主、守其誡命、此為人之大端、

事多則虛浮必多、於人何益、人生於世、為日無多、虛空若影、孰能知在世之時、何者為益、人逝世後、將有何事於日下、孰能告之、

柯希列曰、凡事皆虛中之虛、皆屬於虛、○

是以勿求何以食、何以飲、亦勿思慮、

爾胡為以金以金原文作權銀購不足為食之物、胡為以勞而得者易不能使爾得飽之物、爾聽從我、可食嘉肴、得享肥甘、而中心歡暢、

雖積銀如塵沙、備衣如邱垤、所備者為義人所衣、其銀必為無辜者所分、

爾曹早起遲眠、辛苦求食、亦屬徒勞、惟主所喜愛者、主必使之安然寢寐、

爾豈可為轉瞬即無之貨財勤勞乎、貨財速去、如空中飛鷹、似乎有翼、或作爾豈可注目於貨財乎貨財速歸無有似乎有翼如空中飛鷹

賢者必死、愚者昧者、亦必滅亡、將貨財留於他人、此乃常見之事、其心中以為家必永存、房宅必留至萬代、聲名必傳在世間、

我觀日下所作之事、皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、

又積貯金銀、與列王諸國之珍寶、又得歌男歌女、及世人所樂者、以及妃嬪、

經載云、凡有血氣者如草、人之諸榮如草之花、草枯花謝、

我又見日下更有一虛浮之事、有人獨處無子、無兄弟、然亦勞碌不已、雖得多財、目中不以為足、亦不自問曰、我不自享所得、我勞碌究為誰耶、此亦屬於虛、徒勞無益、

蓋貨財不能長有、冠冕不能存至世世、

善人遺業子孫、惡人貲財、存為善人所用、

我厭惡生命、因我見日下所作之事、皆不善、皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、我亦自恨在日下勞碌經營、因我所得者、必遺於後我而來者用、其人或智或愚、尚未可知、我在日下、用智慧勞碌所得者、竟為彼所轄、此亦屬於虛、於是我念及我在日下勞碌經營、我則失望、有人以智慧、知識、精明、精明或作技能勞碌經營、將所得者、遺於未勞之人為業、此亦屬於虛、甚為不美、

瑪他為供事多而心紛、就耶穌曰、我妹遺我一人供事、主不以為意乎、請命彼助我、耶穌曰、瑪他、瑪他、爾因事多、思慮煩擾、但所需者惟一、瑪利亞已擇不可奪之善業業原文作分矣、

爾之金銀銹矣、此銹即攻爾之證、且將蝕爾之肉如火之焚、爾在此末日、但知積財、爾在此末日但知積財或作爾之積財乃為末日也
