                                    1 Kast dit Brød på Vandet, Thi du får det igen, går end lang Tid hen.                                

                                    1 Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.

                                    2 Del dit Gods i syv otte Dele, thi du ved ej, hvad ondt der kanske på Jorden.                                

                                    2 Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.

                                    3 Er Skyerne fulde af Regn, så gyder de den ud over Jorden; og falder et Træ mod Syd eller Nord; så bliver det liggende der, hvor det falder.                                

                                    3 If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it lies.

                                    4 Man får aldrig sået, når man kigger efter Vinden, og aldrig høstet, når man ser efter Skyerne.                                

                                    4 He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap.

                                    5 Som du ikke kender Vindens Vej eller Fostret i Moders Liv, så kender du ej heller Guds Virke, han, som virker alt.                                

                                    5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.

                                    6 Så din Sæd ved Gry og lad Hånden ej hvile ved Kvæld; thi du ved ej, om dette eller hint vil lykkes, eller begge Dele er lige gode.                                

                                    6 Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.

                                    7 Lyset er lifligt, at skue Solen er godt for Øjnene;                                

                                    7 The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

                                    8 ja, lever et Menneske mange År, skal han glæde sig over dem alle og komme Mørkets Dage i Hu, thi af dem er der mange i Vente; alt, hvad der kommer, er Tomhed.                                

                                    8 Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.

                                    9 Glæd dig, Yngling, i din Ungdom, vær vel til Mode i Livets Vår; gå, hvor dit Hjerte lyster, og nyd, hvad dit Øje skuer; men vid, at for alle disse Ting skal du kræves til Regnskab af Gud.                                

                                    9 Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.

                                    10 Slå Mismod ud af dit Sind, hold Sygdom fjernt fra din Krop; thi Ungdom og Livsgry er Tomhed! ﻿                                

                                    10 So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.
