| 1我看見在太陽下，另有一種不幸，重壓在人身上： | 1There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men: |
| 2有一人，天主賜他富裕、錢財、光榮；凡他心中所願意的，一件也不缺；但天主沒有讓他享用這一切，卻讓外人享用了：這也是空虛，是一件很悲慘的事。 | 2A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery. |
| 3一人生有百子，活了很大歲數，他年紀雖高，卻沒有隨心享受福樂，且未得安葬，照我看來，他還不如流產的胎兒。 | 3If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he. |
| 4流產的胎兒徒然而來，悄然而去，他的名字也湮沒無聞； | 4For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten. |
| 5他沒有見過天日，也沒有任何知覺，但他總比那人更享安寧。 | 5He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil: |
| 6那人即便活了兩千歲，如未享受福樂，他們二人豈不是同歸一處？ | 6Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place? |
| 7人的一切勞碌都是為了口腹，但他的慾望卻總不知滿足。 | 7All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled. |
| 8智者較愚者究有什麼利益？知道如何與人往來的窮人，能得什麼好處？ | 8What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life? |
| 9眼看見過的總勝過心所想望的：這也是空虛，也是追風。 | 9Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit. |
| 10已往所有的，都已有名可稱；人為何物，都已知道；人決不能與強於自己的抗辯。 | 10He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself. |
| 11說話多，必多空談：這對人能有什麼益處？ | 11There are many words that have much vanity in disputing. |
| 12在空虛，消逝如影的人生少數歲月內，有誰知道什麼事對人有益？又有誰能給人指示，他身後在太陽下要發生什麼事？ | 12 |
