then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. Because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Yea moreover, though a wise man thinks to know it, yet he shall not be able to find it.

Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, still he will be without knowledge.

And I beheld all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.

And I understood that man is able to find no explanation for all those works of God which are done under the sun. And so, the more that he labors to seek, so much the less does he find. Yes, even if a wise man were to claim that he knows, he would not be able to discover it.

then I saw that all [is] the work of God, [and] that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however man may labour to seek [it] out, yet doth he not find [it]; and even, if a wise [man] think to know [it], he shall not be able to find [it] out.

And I saw all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatever things a man shall endeavor to seek, however a man may labor to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yes, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.

Then did I see [in] the whole work of God, that a man is not able to find out the work that is done under the sun; inasmuch as though a man were to toil to seek for it, he would yet not find it; and even if the wise were to think to know it, he would yet not be able to find it.

Then I thought about everything [HYP] that God has done, and I realized that no one can understand everything that happens here on this earth.

then I considered all of God's deeds, and that man cannot understand the work that is done under the sun. No matter how much a man labors to find the answers, he will not find them. Even though a wise man might believe he knows, he really does not.

তারপর আমি ঈশ্বরের সমস্ত কাজকে বিবেচনা করি এবং সূর্য্যের নিচে যে কাজ হয়েছে মানুষ তা বুঝতে পারে না। কোন ব্যপার নয় মানুষ কত পরিশ্রম করে এর উত্তর খোঁজার জন্য, সে তা খুঁজে পাবে না। এমনকি যদিও একটি জ্ঞানী লোক বিশ্বাস করে যে সে জানে, কিন্তু সে সত্যি জানে না।

entonces yo consideré todas las obras de Dios, y que el hombre no puede entender el trabajo que es hecho debajo del sol. No importa cuánto un hombre trabaje para encontrar la respuesta, no la encontrará. Aunque un hombre sabio pudiera creer que sabe, él realmente no sabe.

तब मैंने परमेश्वर का सारा काम देखा जो सूर्य के नीचे किया जाता है, उसकी थाह मनुष्य नहीं पा सकता। चाहे मनुष्य उसकी खोज में कितना भी परिश्रम करे, तो भी उसको न जान पाएगा; और यद्यपि बुद्धिमान कहे भी कि मैं उसे समझूँगा, तो भी वह उसे न पा सकेगा।

Namun, akhirnya aku menyadari bahwa tidak seorang pun dapat mengerti segala yang Allah lakukan di dunia ini. Dengan semua usaha, manusia tidak dapat menemukan jawabannya. Sekalipun ada orang bijak yang mengatakan bahwa dia sudah menemukan jawabannya, sesungguhnya dia tidak memahaminya.

私は神のすべてのみわざを見た。人は日の下で行われるみわざを見いだすことができない。どれほど労苦して探し求めても、それを見いだせない。たとえ知恵ある者が理解できると思っても、それを見いだすことはできない。

vi toda la obra de Dios y comprendí que el ser humano no puede conocer plenamente lo que se hace bajo el sol. Por mucho que se esfuerce en investigar, no lo comprenderá. Aunque el sabio parezca estar cerca de entenderlo, tampoco lo conocerá.

तेव्हा देवाचे सर्व काम पाहून मला समजले की, जे काम भूतलावर करण्यात येत आहे ते मनुष्यास पुरते शोधून काढता येत नाही, कारण ते शोधून काढायला मनुष्याने कितीही श्रम केले तरी ते त्यास सापडणार नाही आणि याव्यतिरिक्त, कोणी ज्ञानी मनुष्याने, मी ते जाणीन, असे जरी म्हटले, तरी त्यास ते सापडणार नाही.

Y ví acerca de todas las obras de Dios, que el hombre no puede alcanzar obra que se haga debajo del sol; por la cual trabaja el hombre buscándola, y no la hallará: aunque diga el sabio que sabe, no la hallará: aunque diga el sabio que sabe, no la podrá alcanzar.

Entonces comprendí toda la obra de Dios: el ser humano no es capaz de entender lo que se hace bajo el sol. Por mucho que se esfuerce en buscar una explicación, no la encontrará; aunque el sabio diga que la conoce, en realidad no puede comprenderla.

Vi toda obra de ʼElohim. El hombre no puede descubrir la obra hecha bajo el sol. Aunque el hombre busque laboriosamente y aunque algún sabio pretenda saberlo, no podrá descubrirla.

Entonces estudié todo lo que hace Dios, y me di cuenta de que nadie puede entender completamente lo que ocurre aquí. Por mucho que lo intenten, por muy sabios que pretendan ser, no pueden comprenderlo realmente.

y he visto todas las obras de Dios, que el hombre no puede alcanzar la obra que se hace debajo del sol; por mucho que trabaje el hombre buscándola, no la hallará; y aun si el sabio dijere que la sabe, no podrá alcanzarla.

Kisha nika tafakari matendo yote ya Mungu, na kwamba mtu hawezi kuelewa kazi inayofanyika chini ya jua. Bila kujali mtu anafanya kupata majibu, hatayapata. Ingawa mwenye hekima anaweza kuamini anajua, kitu kweli hajui.

தேவன் செய்யும் எல்லா செயல்களையும் நான் கவனித்துப்பார்த்து, சூரியனுக்குக்கீழே செய்யப்படும் செய்கையை மனிதன் கண்டுபிடிக்கமுடியாதென்று கண்டேன். அதை அறியும்படி மனிதன் முயற்சித்தாலும் அறியமாட்டான்; அதை அறியலாம் என்று ஞானி எண்ணினாலும் அவனும் அதை அறிந்துகொள்ளமாட்டான்.

దేవుని పనులన్నిటినీ నేను గమనించాను. సూర్యుని కింద జరిగే సంగతులను మనుషులు ఎంత ప్రయత్నించినా గ్రహించలేరనీ, దాన్ని తెలుసుకోవాలని చివరికి జ్ఞానులు పూనుకున్నప్పటికీ వారు సైతం గ్రహించలేరనీ నేను తెలుసుకున్నాను.

तब मैंने ख़ुदा के सारे काम पर निगाह की और जाना कि इंसान उस काम को, जो दुनिया में किया जाता है, दरियाफ़्त नहीं कर सकता। अगरचे इंसान कितनी ही मेहनत से उसकी तलाश करे, लेकिन कुछ दरियाफ़्त न करेगा; बल्कि हर तरह 'अक़्लमन्द को गुमान हो कि उसको मा'लूम कर लेगा, लेकिन वह कभी उसको दरियाफ़्त नहीं कर सकेगा।
