Eclesiastés 4

Riveduta 1927

8un tale è solo, senz’alcuno che gli stia da presso; non ha né figlio né fratello, e nondimeno s’affatica senza fine, e i suoi occhi non si sazian mai di ricchezze. E non riflette: Ma per chi dunque m’affatico e privo l’anima mia d’ogni bene? Anche questa è una vanità e un’ingrata occupazione.

Reina-Valera 1909

8Está un hombre solo y sin sucesor; que ni tiene hijo ni hermano; mas nunca cesa de trabajar, ni sus ojos se hartan de sus riquezas, ni se pregunta: ¿Para quién trabajo yo, y defraudo mi alma del bien? También esto es vanidad, y duro trabajo.

King James Version

8There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

World English Bible

8There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.
