| 1我又转目注视在太阳下所行的一切暴行：看，受压迫者眼泪汪流，却无人安慰；压迫人者手中只有权势，却无人加以援助。 | 1I considered also how much oppression there is under the sun: the tears of the oppressed and no one to console them, the violence of the oppressors and no one to hold them back. |
| 2于是我声称那已死去的人，比现今还活着的人更为有福， | 2More fortunate are the dead for being dead, than the living who have to live, |
| 3那还没有出世的人，比这两等人更为有福，因为他还没见到太阳下所行的恶事。 | 3and even more fortunate than both is the one not yet born who has not seen the abuses under the sun. |
| 4我也看出各种劳苦和一切工作的技巧，都是出于人彼切间的竞争：这也是空虚，也是追风。 | 4I saw that all that is done, all that succeeds, results from rivalry with the neighbor: all is meaningless and chasing the wind. |
| 5愚人交臂叉手，是自食己肉。 | 5The fool folds his arms and eats his meat. |
| 6捧一把安逸，胜过两把劳苦和追风。 | 6Yet better half a fistful of rest than fistfuls of toil and chasing the wind. |
| 7我又转睛，看见在太阳下有件空虚的事： | 7I saw another senseless thing under the sun: |
| 8有个孤独无伴的人，既没有儿子，又没有兄弟，却时常劳苦不息，他的眼总是贪得无厌，从来不问：「我辛辛苦苦，节制享乐，究竟是为谁？」这也是空虚和大不幸。 | 8a man alone, without son or brother, working endlessly, his greed never satisfied with wealth: "For whom do I work and deprive myself of pleasure?" This, too, is nonsense and mistaken investment. |
| 9两人胜过一人，因为两人工作，酬报优厚： | 9Happier two than one alone, for their work brings a higher salary, |
| 10若一个跌倒了，另一个可扶起自己的同伴。哀哉孤独者！他若跌倒了，没有另一人扶起他来。 | 10and when one falls the other lifts up his companion. Unfortunate he who is alone and has no one to lift him up. |
| 11又如两人同眠，都感温暖；若孤独一人，怎能暖和？ | 11Moreover it's warmer with two in bed; how can one alone be warm? |
| 12若一人抵不住一人，两人就能抵住。──三股绳，不易断。 | 12One person may be overcome by an aggressor, but two can easily oppose him; triple-stranded thread is not easily broken. |
| 13一个贫寒而明智的青年，胜过一个年老昏愚，而总不采纳忠言的君王。 | 13Better a youth who is poor and wise than a fool of an old king who shuns advice. |
| 14这青年虽在国中出身贫寒，但由狱中出来，执政为王； | 14He may even pass from prison to the throne, though born poor in his kingdom. |
| 15我看见一切在太阳下行走的活人，都拥护青年人，新继位者，来代替老王。 | 15I saw all who live under the sun follow the youth who replaced the latter and there was no end to the people who sided with him. |
| 16拥护他为领袖的人民，多得无数；但日后，那些后来的人却不喜欢他：这也是空虚，也是追风。 | 16And yet those who will come after will not be satisfied. This too makes no sense; it's nothing but chasing wind. |
| 17你往天主的殿里去时，要小心迈步；你前去听道，胜过愚人献祭，因为他们只知作恶。 | 17Watch your step when you go to God's house; it's a better offering to listen, than to present sacrifices as do the fools; for they do not know the evil they do. |
