                                    1 Ja, alt dette lagde jeg mig på Sinde, og mit hjerte indså det alt sammen: at de retfærdige og de vise og deres Gerninger er i Guds Hånd. Hverken om Kærlighed eller Had kan Menneskene vide noget; alt, hvad der er dem for Øje, er Tomhed.                                

                                    1 For I have taken all this to my heart and explain it that righteous men, wise men, and their deeds are in the hand of God. Man does not know whether it will be love or hatred; anything awaits him.

                                    2 Thi alle får en og samme Skæbne, retfærdig og gudløs, god og ond, ren og uren, den, som ofrer, og den, som ikke ofrer; det går den gode som Synderen, den sværgende som den, der skyr at sværge.                                

                                    2 It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who is afraid to swear.

                                    3 Det er det, der er Fejlen ved alt, hvad der sker under Solen, at alle får en og samme Skæbne; derfor er også Menneskebørnenes Hjerte fuldt af ondt, og der er Dårskab i deres Hjerte Livet igennem, og tilsidst må de ned til de døde.                                

                                    3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

                                    4 Kun for den, der hører til de levendes Flok, er der Håb; thi levende Hund er bedre faren end død Løve.                                

                                    4 For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion.

                                    5 Thi de levende ved dog, at de skal dø, men de døde ved ingenting, og Løn har de ikke mere i Vente; thi Mindet om dem slettes ud.                                

                                    5 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.

                                    6 Både deres Kærlighed og deres Had og deres Misundelse er forlængst borte, og de får ingen Sinde mere Lod og Del i noget af det, som sker under Solen.                                

                                    6 Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.

                                    7 Så spis da dit Brød med Glæde, drik vel til Mode din Vin; thi din Id har Gud for længst kendt god.                                

                                    7 Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.

                                    8 Dine Klæder være altid hvide, lad Olie ikke savnes på dit Hoved!                                

                                    8 Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head.

                                    9 Nyd Livet med den Kvinde, du elsker, alle dine tomme Levedage, som gives dig under Solen; thi det er din Lod og Del af Livet og af den Flid, du gør dig under Solen.                                

                                    9 Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.

                                    10 Gør efter Evne alt, hvad din Hånd finder Styrke til; thi der er hverken Virke eller Tanke eller Kundskab eller Visdom i Dødsriget, hvor du stævner hen.                                

                                    10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

                                    11 Og atter så jeg under Solen, at Hurtigløberen ikke er Herre over Løbet eller Heltene over Kampen, ej heller de vise over Brødet, ej heller de kløgtige over Rigdom, ej heller de kloge over Yndest, men alle er de bundet af Tid og Tilfælde.                                

                                    11 I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.

                                    12 Thi et Menneske kender lige så lidt sin Tid som Fisk, der fanges i det slemme Garn, eller Fugle, der hildes i Snaren; ligesom disse fanges Menneskens Børn i Ulykkens Stund, når den brat falder over dem.                                

                                    12 Moreover, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.

                                    13 Også dette Tilfælde af Visdom så jeg under Solen, og det gjorde dybt Indtryk på mig:                                

                                    13 Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me.

                                    14 Der var en lille By med få Indbyggere, og mod den kom en stor Konge; han omringede den og byggede høje Volde imod den;                                

                                    14 There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it.

                                    15 men der fandtes i Byen en fattig Mand, som var viis, og han frelste den ved sin Visdom. Men ingen mindedes den fattige Mand.                                

                                    15 But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

                                    16 Da sagde jeg: "Visdom er bedre end Styrke, men den fattiges Visdom agtes ringe, og hans Ord høres ikke."                                

                                    16 So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised and his words are not heeded.

                                    17 Vismænds Ord, der høres i Ro, er bedre end en Herskers Råb iblandt Dårer.                                

                                    17 The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

                                    18 Visdom er bedre end Våben, men en eneste Synder kan ødelægge meget godt. ﻿                                

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