Ecclesiastes - Chapter: 3

>
3:1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
3:2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3:3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
3:4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
3:5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
3:6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
3:7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
3:8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
3:9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
3:10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
3:11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
3:12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
3:13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
3:14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
3:15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
3:16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
3:17I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
3:18I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
3:19For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
3:20All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
3:21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
3:22Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

 

3:1לכל זמן ועת לכל חפץ תחת השׁמים׃
3:2עת ללדת ועת למות עת לטעת ועת לעקור נטוע׃
3:3עת להרוג ועת לרפוא עת לפרוץ ועת לבנות׃
3:4עת לבכות ועת לשׂחוק עת ספוד ועת רקוד׃
3:5עת להשׁליך אבנים ועת כנוס אבנים עת לחבוק ועת לרחק מחבק׃
3:6עת לבקשׁ ועת לאבד עת לשׁמור ועת להשׁליך׃
3:7עת לקרוע ועת לתפור עת לחשׁות ועת לדבר׃
3:8עת לאהב ועת לשׂנא עת מלחמה ועת שׁלום׃
3:9מה יתרון העושׂה באשׁר הוא עמל׃
3:10ראיתי את הענין אשׁר נתן אלהים לבני האדם לענות׃
3:11את הכל עשׂה יפה בעתו גם את העלם נתן בלבם מבלי אשׁר לא ימצא האדם את המעשׂה אשׁר עשׂה האלהים מראשׁ ועד סוף׃
3:12ידעתי כי אין טוב בם כי אם לשׂמוח ולעשׂות טוב בחייו׃
3:13וגם כל האדם שׁיאכל ושׁתה וראה טוב בכל עמלו מתת אלהים היא׃
3:14ידעתי כי כל אשׁר יעשׂה האלהים הוא יהיה לעולם עליו אין להוסיף וממנו אין לגרע והאלהים עשׂה שׁיראו מלפניו׃
3:15מה שׁהיה כבר הוא ואשׁר להיות כבר היה והאלהים יבקשׁ את נרדף׃
3:16ועוד ראיתי תחת השׁמשׁ מקום המשׁפט שׁמה הרשׁע ומקום הצדק שׁמה הרשׁע׃
3:17אמרתי אני בלבי את הצדיק ואת הרשׁע ישׁפט האלהים כי עת לכל חפץ ועל כל המעשׂה שׁם׃
3:18אמרתי אני בלבי על דברת בני האדם לברם האלהים ולראות שׁהם בהמה המה להם׃
3:19כי מקרה בני האדם ומקרה הבהמה ומקרה אחד להם כמות זה כן מות זה ורוח אחד לכל ומותר האדם מן הבהמה אין כי הכל הבל׃
3:20הכל הולך אל מקום אחד הכל היה מן העפר והכל שׁב אל העפר׃
3:21מי יודע רוח בני האדם העלה היא למעלה ורוח הבהמה הירדת היא למטה לארץ׃
3:22וראיתי כי אין טוב מאשׁר ישׂמח האדם במעשׂיו כי הוא חלקו כי מי יביאנו לראות במה שׁיהיה אחריו׃

 

3:1To everything -- a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:
3:2A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.
3:3A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down, And a time to build up.
3:4A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a time to skip.
3:5A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing.
3:6A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.
3:7A time to rend, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.
3:8A time to love, And a time to hate. A time of war, And a time of peace.
3:9What advantage hath the doer in that which he is labouring at?
3:10I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.
3:11The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end.
3:12I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,
3:13yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it `is' a gift of God.
3:14I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God hath wrought that they do fear before Him.
3:15What is that which hath been? already it is, and that which `is' to be hath already been, and God requireth that which is pursued.
3:16And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment -- there `is' the wicked; and the place of righteousness -- there `is' the wicked.
3:17I said in my heart, `The righteous and the wicked doth God judge, for a time `is' to every matter and for every work there.'
3:18I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves `are' beasts.
3:19For an event `is to' the sons of man, and an event `is to' the beasts, even one event `is' to them; as the death of this, so `is' the death of that; and one spirit `is' to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole `is' vanity.
3:20The whole are going unto one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back unto the dust.
3:21Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that is going up on high, and the spirit of the beast that is going down below to the earth?
3:22And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man rejoice in his works, for it `is' his portion; for who doth bring him in to look on that which is after him?
