- Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
- Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
- For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.
- When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools Pay what you vow!
- It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

- 焦って 口を 開き, 心せいて /神の 前に 言葉を 出そうとするな. 神は 天にいまし, あなたは 地上にいる. 言葉數を 少なくせよ.
- 夢を 見るのは 惱みごとが 多いから. 愚者の 聲と 知れるのは 口數が 多いから.
- 神に 願をかけたら /誓いを 果たすのを 遲らせてはならない. 愚か 者は 神に 喜ばれない. 願をかけたら, 誓いを 果たせ.
- 願をかけておきながら 誓いを 果たさないなら /願をかけないほうがよい.
- 口が 身を 滅ぼすことにならないように. 使者に「あれは 間違いでした 」などと 言うな. 神はその 聲を 聞いて 怒り /あなたの 手の 業を 滅ぼされるであろう.

- Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
- For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God.
- If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.
- After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land.
- He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

- 夢や 空想が 多いと 刈舌になる. 神を 畏れ 敬え.
- 貧しい 人が 虐げられていることや, 不正な 裁き, 正義の 欠如などがこの 國にあるのを 見ても, 驚くな. なぜなら /身分の 高い 者が, 身分の 高い 者をかばい /更に 身分の 高い 者が 兩者をかばうのだから.
- 何にもまして 國にとって 益となるのは /王が 耕地を 大切にすること.
- 銀を 愛する 者は 銀に 飽くことなく /富を 愛する 者は 收益に 滿足しない. これまた 空しいことだ.
- 財産が 增せば, それを 食らう 者も 增す. 持ち 主は 眺めているばかりで, 何の 得もない.

- When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?
- The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.
- There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches being hoarded by their owner to his hurt.
- When those riches were lost through a bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing to support him.
- As he had come naked from his mother's womb, so will he return as he came He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.

- ¿く 者の 眠りは 快い /滿腹していても, 飢えていても. 金持ちは 食べ 飽きていて 眠れない.
- 太陽の 下に, 大きな 不幸があるのを 見た. 富の 管理が 惡くて 持ち 主が 損をしている.
- 下手に 使ってその 富を 失い /息子が 生まれても, 彼の 手には 何もない.
- 人は, 裸で 母の 胎を 出たように, 裸で 歸る. 來た 時の 姿で, 行くのだ. 勞苦の 結果を 何ひとつ 持って 行くわけではない.
- これまた, 大いに 不幸なことだ. 來た 時と 同じように, 行かざるをえない. 風を 追って 勞苦して, 何になろうか.
|
- This also is a grievous evil--exactly as a man is born, thus will he die. So what is the advantage to him who toils for the wind?
- Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.
- Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one's labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.
- Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
- For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.

- その 一生の 間, 食べることさえ 闇の 中. 惱み, 患い, 怒りは 盡きない.
- 見よ, わたしの 見たことはこうだ. 神に 與えられた 短い 人生の 日¿に, 飮み 食いし, 太陽の 下で 勞苦した 結果のすべてに 滿足することこそ, 幸福で 良いことだ. それが 人の 受けるべき 分だ.
- 神から 富や 財寶をいただいた 人は 皆, それを 享受し, 自らの 分をわきまえ, その 勞苦の 結果を 樂しむように 定められている. これは 神の 賜物なのだ.
- 彼はその 人生の 日¿をあまり 思い 返すこともない. 神がその 心に 喜びを 與えられるのだから.
