Translations compared59 of 71

There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.

There is one man who is alone, and he has not a second, yea, he has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end of all his labor, nor are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, he says, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a great travail.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

He is one, and he does not have a second: no son, no brother. And yet he does not cease to labor, nor are his eyes satisfied with wealth, nor does he reflect, saying: “For whom do I labor and cheat my soul of good things?” In this, too, is emptiness and a most burdensome affliction.

There is one [alone] and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.

There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation.

There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he has not, and there is no end to all his labor! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he does not say], “For whom am I laboring and bereaving my soul of good?” This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.

What about someone who has no family to help him, no brother or son, who works all the time, but isn't satisfied with the money he makes. “Who am I working for?” he asks himself. “Why am I preventing myself from enjoying life?” Such a situation is hard to explain—it's an evil business!

There is one alone, and there is not a second, which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill trauaile.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches: 'for whom then do I labour, and bereave my soul of pleasure?' This also is vanity, yea, it is a grievous business.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

There is one alone, and he hath not a companion; yea, he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end to all his toil; his eye also is not satisfied with riches. Yet for whom do I toil, and deprive my soul of good? Also this is vanity, yea, it is a bad employment.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.

There is one who is alone, and no one with him; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end to all his labor, and his eye is not satisfied with riches. “For whom, then [[saith he]], do I labor and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity; yea, it is an evil thing!

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Here is one, without a second, even son or brother, he hath none, yet is there no end to all his toil, even his eye, is not satisfied with riches,—neither [saith he] For whom, am I toiling, and letting my soul want good? Even this, was vanity, yea a vexatious employment, it was!

There was a man all alone, and there was with him neither ben nor ach (brother); yet there was no ketz (end) to all his amal; neither was his ayin satisfied with osher (riches); neither saith he, For whom do I toil, and deprive my nefesh of tovah? This also is hevel, yea, it is an evil matter.

There are men who live alone; they do not have a wife or children or any brothers living with them; every day they work very hard, without stopping, to get a lot of money, but they are never satisfied with the things that they have. They never ask themselves, “Why am I working very hard to earn more money? Why am I not doing things that would cause me to be happy?” What they do also seems senseless.

There are people who live alone; they do not have a family nor even children or any brothers or sisters living with them. Every day they work very hard without stopping; they make a lot of money, but they are never satisfied with the things that they get. They ask themselves, "Why am I working so hard; whom am I actually helping? Why am I not doing things that I would enjoy doing? What I have been doing seems useless." This is very bad.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; Yea, he has neither son nor brother: Yet there is no end to all his labor; Neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; And for whom do I labor, And deprive my soul of good? This is also vanity, And an evil trouble.

oon is, and he hath not a secounde; not a sone, not a brother; and netheles he ceesith not for to trauele, nether hise iyen ben fillid with richessis; nether he bithenkith, and seith, To whom trauele Y, and disseyue my soule in goodis? In this also is vanyte, and the worste turment.

There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.

There is the kind of man who is alone. He does not have anyone, no son or brother. There is no end to all his work, and his eyes are not satisfied with gaining wealth. He wonders, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vapor, a bad situation.

এরকম কিছু লোক আছে যারা একা। তার কেউ থাকে না, না ছেলে বা ভাই। তবুও তার কাজের শেষ নেই এবং তার চোখ সম্পত্তি লাভে তৃপ্ত হয় না। সে আশ্চর্য্য হয়, “কার জন্য আমি পরিশ্রম করছি এবং নিজেকে আনন্দ থেকে বঞ্চিত করছি?” এটাও বাষ্প এবং একটা খারাপ পরিস্থিতি।

Está la clase de hombre que está sólo. Él no tiene a nadie, ni hijo ni hermano. No hay fin a todo su trabajo, y sus ojos no se satisfacen con obtener riqueza. Él piensa: "¿Para quién me estoy fatigando y privándome a mí mismo de placer?" Esto también es vapor, una mala situación.

कोई अकेला रहता और उसका कोई नहीं है; न उसके बेटा है, न भाई है, तो भी उसके परिश्रम का अन्त नहीं होता; न उसकी आँखें धन से सन्तुष्ट होती हैं, और न वह कहता है, मैं किसके लिये परिश्रम करता और अपने जीवन को सुखरहित रखता हूँ? यह भी व्यर्थ और निरा दुःख भरा काम है।

Ada orang yang hidup sendiri tanpa anak dan saudara. Tanpa hentinya dia bekerja keras dan tidak pernah puas dengan hartanya. Orang itu berkata dalam hatinya, “Untuk apa aku tidak bersenang-senang dengan hasil jerih payahku? Waktu aku mati, tidak ada keluarga dekat yang akan mewarisi semua kekayaanku ini!” Betapa sia-sianya kehidupan itu! Sangat menyedihkan!

一人きりで、息子も兄弟もいない者がいる。その人のすべての労苦には終わりがなく、その目は富を見ても満足しない。「私はいったい誰のために労苦し、自分から楽しみを奪っているのか。」これも空しい。実に、痛ましい務めだ。

Un hombre está solo, sin compañero, hijo ni hermano. Trabaja sin descanso y nunca se conforma con sus riquezas. «¿Para quién trabajo y me privo del placer?», se pregunta. Esto también es inútil y una tarea amarga.

तेथे अशाप्रकारचा कोणी मनुष्य आहे, तो एकटाच असून त्यास दुसरा कोणी नाही. त्यास मुलगा किंवा भाऊ नाही. परंतु तेथे त्याच्या कष्टाला अंत नाही. मिळकतीच्या धनाने त्याच्या नेत्राचे समाधान होत नाही. तो स्वतःशीच विचार करून म्हणतो, मी इतके कष्ट कोणासाठी करीत आहे? आणि माझ्या जिवाचे सुख हिरावून घेत आहे? हेही व्यर्थ आहे, वाईट कष्टमय आहे.

Es el hombre solo, sin sucesor; que ni tiene hijo ni hermano, y nunca cesa de trabajar, ni aun sus ojos se hartan de sus riquezas; ni piensa: ¿Para quién trabajo yo, y defraudo mi alma del bien? También esto es vanidad, y ocupación mala.

Vi a un hombre que estaba completamente solo; no tenía hijos ni hermanos. Trabajaba sin descanso y nunca estaba satisfecho con sus riquezas. Jamás se preguntó: “¿Para quién me estoy esforzando tanto y privándome de disfrutar?”. ¡Esto también es vanidad y un asunto tan triste!

Hay cierto hombre solo, Sin alguien que lo acompañe, sin hijos ni hermanos. Pero aun así su afán no tiene fin. Su ojo no se llena de riquezas y no se pregunta: ¿Para quién me afano y me privo de lo bueno? También esto es vanidad y tarea angustiosa.

¿Qué pasa con alguien que no tiene familia que le ayude, ni hermano ni hijo, que trabaja todo el tiempo, pero no está satisfecho con el dinero que gana? “¿Para quién estoy trabajando?” , se pregunta. “¿Por qué me impido disfrutar de la vida?” . Una situación así es difícil de explicar: ¡es un negocio malvado!

Está un hombre solo y sin sucesor, que no tiene hijo ni hermano; y nunca cesa de trabajar, ni sus ojos se sacian de sus riquezas, ni se pregunta: «¿Para quién trabajo yo y privo a mi alma del bienestar?». También esto es vanidad y tarea penosa.

el caso del hombre solitario, sin hijos ni hermanos, y que trabaja arduamente para seguir acumulando riquezas. No se pregunta a quién le quedará todo. ¿Y por qué renuncia a tanto ahora? ¡Todo esto es tan sin sentido y deprimente!

Kuna aina ya mtu ambaye yuko peke yake. Hana mtu, hana mwana, wala ndugu. Hakuna mwisho wa kazi zake zote, na macho yake hayatosheki kwa kupata utajiri. Anashangaa, “Ninajishumbua na kuharibu furaha yangu kwa ajili ya nani?” Huu pia ni mvuke, hali mbaya.

ஒருவன் தனிமையாக இருக்கிறான்; அவனுக்கு யாருமில்லை, அவனுக்குப் பிள்ளையும் சகோதரனுமில்லை; அப்படியிருந்தும் அவன் படும் பிரயாசத்திற்கு முடிவில்லை; அவனுடைய கண் ஐசுவரியத்தால் திருப்தியாகிறதுமில்லை; நான் ஒரு நன்மையையும் அனுபவிக்காமல் யாருக்காக பிரயாசப்படுகிறேன் என்று அவன் சிந்திக்கிறதுமில்லை; இதுவும் மாயை, தீராத தொல்லை.

ఒకడు ఒంటరిగా ఉన్నాడు. అతనికి జతగాడు గాని, కొడుకు గాని, సోదరుడు గాని లేడు. అయినా అతడు ఎప్పుడూ కష్టపడుతూనే ఉంటాడు. ఐశ్వర్యం అతనికి తృప్తి కలిగించదు. సుఖమనేది లేకుండా ఎవరి కోసం ఇంత కష్టపడుతున్నాను అనుకుంటాడు. ఇది కూడా ఆవిరిలాగా నిష్ప్రయోజనం, విచారకరం.

कोई अकेला है और उसके साथ कोई दूसरा नहीं; उसके न बेटा है न भाई, तोभी उसकी सारी मेहनत की इन्तिहा नहीं; और उसकी आँख दौलत से सेर नहीं होती; वह कहता है मैं किसके लिए मेहनत करता और अपनी जान को 'ऐश से महरूम रखता हूँ? ये भी बेकार है; हाँ, ये सख़्त दुख है।
