Eclesiastés 9

Oui, j’ai appliqué mon cœur à tout cela, j’ai fait de tout cela l’objet de mon examen, et j’ai vu que les justes et les sages, et leurs travaux, sont dans la main de Dieu, et l’amour aussi bien que la haine; les hommes ne savent rien: tout est devant eux.

CIERTAMENTE dado he mi corazón á todas estas cosas, para declarar todo esto: que los justos y los sabios, y sus obras, están en la mano de Dios; y que no sabe el hombre ni el amor ni el odio por todo lo que pasa delante de él.

For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

Tout arrive également à tous; même sort pour le juste et pour le méchant, pour celui qui est bon et pur et pour celui qui est impur, pour celui qui sacrifie et pour celui qui ne sacrifie pas; il en est du bon comme du pécheur, de celui qui jure comme de celui qui craint de jurer.

Todo acontece de la misma manera á todos: un mismo suceso ocurre al justo y al impío; al bueno y al limpio y al no limpio; al que sacrifica, y al que no sacrifica: como el bueno, así el que peca; el que jura, como el que teme el juramento.

All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

Ceci est un mal parmi tout ce qui se fait sous le soleil, c’est qu’il y a pour tous un même sort; aussi le cœur des fils de l’homme est-il plein de méchanceté, et la folie est dans leur cœur pendant leur vie; après quoi, ils vont chez les morts. Car, qui est excepté?

Este mal hay entre todo lo que se hace debajo del sol, que todos tengan un mismo suceso, y también que el corazón de los hijos de los hombres esté lleno de mal, y de enloquecimiento en su corazón durante su vida: y después, á los muertos.

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all. Yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

Pour tous ceux qui vivent il y a de l’espérance; et même un chien vivant vaut mieux qu’un lion mort.

Aun hay esperanza para todo aquél que está entre los vivos; porque mejor es perro vivo que león muerto.

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Les vivants, en effet, savent qu’ils mourront; mais les morts ne savent rien, et il n’y a pour eux plus de salaire, puisque leur mémoire est oubliée.

Porque los que viven saben que han de morir: mas los muertos nada saben, ni tienen más paga; porque su memoria es puesta en olvido.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

Et leur amour, et leur haine, et leur envie, ont déjà péri; et ils n’auront plus jamais aucune part à tout ce qui se fait sous le soleil.

También su amor, y su odio y su envidia, feneció ya: ni tiene ya más parte en el siglo, en todo lo que se hace debajo del sol.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.

Va, mange avec joie ton pain, et bois gaiement ton vin; car dès longtemps Dieu prend plaisir à ce que tu fais.

Anda, y come tu pan con gozo, y bebe tu vino con alegre corazón: porque tus obras ya son agradables á Dios.

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

Qu’en tout temps tes vêtements soient blancs, et que l’huile ne manque point sur ta tête.

En todo tiempo sean blancos tus vestidos, y nunca falte ungüento sobre tu cabeza.

Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

Let your garments be always white, and don’t let your head lack oil.

Jouis de la vie avec la femme que tu aimes, pendant tous les jours de ta vie de vanité, que Dieu t’a donnés sous le soleil, pendant tous les jours de ta vanité; car c’est ta part dans la vie, au milieu de ton travail que tu fais sous le soleil.

Goza de la vida con la mujer que amas, todos los días de la vida de tu vanidad, que te son dados debajo del sol, todos los días de tu vanidad; porque esta es tu parte en la vida, y en tu trabajo con que te afanas debajo del sol.

Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

Tout ce que ta main trouve à faire avec ta force, fais-le; car il n’y a ni œuvre, ni pensée, ni science, ni sagesse, dans le séjour des morts, où tu vas.

Todo lo que te viniere á la mano para hacer, hazlo según tus fuerzas; porque en el sepulcro, adonde tú vas, no hay obra, ni industria, ni ciencia, ni sabiduría.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

J’ai encore vu sous le soleil que la course n’est point aux agiles ni la guerre aux vaillants, ni le pain aux sages, ni la richesse aux intelligents, ni la faveur aux savants; car tout dépend pour eux du temps et des circonstances.

Tornéme, y vi debajo del sol, que ni es de los ligeros la carrera, ni la guerra de los fuertes, ni aun de los sabios el pan, ni de los prudentes las riquezas, ni de los elocuentes el favor; sino que tiempo y ocasión acontece á todos.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

L’homme ne connaît pas non plus son heure, pareil aux poissons qui sont pris au filet fatal, et aux oiseaux qui sont pris au piège; comme eux, les fils de l’homme sont enlacés au temps du malheur, lorsqu’il tombe sur eux tout à coup.

Porque el hombre tampoco conoce su tiempo: como los peces que son presos en la mala red, y como las aves que se prenden en lazo, así son enlazados los hijos de los hombres en el tiempo malo, cuando cae de repente sobre ellos.

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

J’ai aussi vu sous le soleil ce trait d’une sagesse qui m’a paru grande.

También vi esta sabiduría debajo del sol, la cual me parece grande:

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.

Il y avait une petite ville, avec peu d’hommes dans son sein; un roi puissant marcha sur elle, l’investit, et éleva contre elle de grands forts.

Una pequeña ciudad, y pocos hombres en ella; y viene contra ella un gran rey, y cércala, y edifica contra ella grandes baluartes:

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

Il s’y trouvait un homme pauvre et sage, qui sauva la ville par sa sagesse. Et personne ne s’est souvenu de cet homme pauvre.

Y hállase en ella un hombre pobre, sabio, el cual libra la ciudad con su sabiduría; y nadie se acordaba de aquel pobre hombre.

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Et j’ai dit: La sagesse vaut mieux que la force. Cependant la sagesse du pauvre est méprisée, et ses paroles ne sont pas écoutées.

Entonces dije yo: Mejor es la sabiduría que la fortaleza; aunque la ciencia del pobre sea menospreciada, y no sean escuchadas sus palabras.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Les paroles des sages tranquillement écoutées valent mieux que les cris de celui qui domine parmi les insensés.

Las palabras del sabio con reposo son oídas, más que el clamor del señor entre los necios.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

La sagesse vaut mieux que les instruments de guerre; mais un seul pécheur détruit beaucoup de bien.

Mejor es la sabiduría que las armas de guerra; mas un pecador destruye mucho bien.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.
