1. שַׁלַּח לַחְמְךָ עַל־פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם כִּי־בְרֹב הַיָּמִים תִּמְצָאֶנּוּ׃
|
1. Cast H7971 thy bread H3899 upon H5921 H6440 the waters H4325 : for H3588 thou shalt find H4672 it after many H7230 days H3117 .
|
|
2. תֶּן־חֵלֶק לְשִׁבְעָה וְגַם לִשְׁמֹונָה כִּי לֹא תֵדַע מַה־יִּהְיֶה רָעָה עַל־הָאָרֶץ׃
|
2. Give H5414 a portion H2506 to seven H7651 , and also H1571 to eight H8083 ; for H3588 thou knowest H3045 not H3808 what H4100 evil H7451 shall be H1961 upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
3. אִם־יִמָּלְאוּ הֶעָבִים גֶּשֶׁם עַל־הָאָרֶץ יָרִיקוּ וְאִם־יִפֹּול עֵץ בַּדָּרֹום וְאִם בַּצָּפֹון מְקֹום שֶׁיִּפֹּול הָעֵץ שָׁם יְהוּא׃
|
3. If H518 the clouds H5645 be full H4390 of rain H1653 , they empty H7324 themselves upon H5921 the earth H776 : and if H518 the tree H6086 fall H5307 toward the south H1864 , or H518 toward the north H6828 , in the place H4725 where the tree H6086 falleth H7945 H5307 , there H8033 it H1933 shall be.
|
|
4. שֹׁמֵר רוּחַ לֹא יִזְרָע וְרֹאֶה בֶעָבִים לֹא יִקְצֹור׃
|
4. He that observeth H8104 the wind H7307 shall not H3808 sow H2232 ; and he that regardeth H7200 the clouds H5645 shall not H3808 reap H7114 .
|
|
5. כַּאֲשֶׁר אֵינְךָ יֹודֵעַ מַה־דֶּרֶךְ הָרוּחַ כַּעֲצָמִים בְּבֶטֶן הַמְּלֵאָה כָּכָה לֹא תֵדַע אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂה הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת־הַכֹּל׃
|
5. As H834 thou knowest H3045 not H369 what H4100 is the way H1870 of the spirit H7307 , nor how the bones H6106 do grow in the womb H990 of her that is with child H4392 : even so H3602 thou knowest H3045 not H3808 H853 the works H4639 of God H430 who H834 maketh H6213 H853 all H3605 .
|
|
6. בַּבֹּקֶר זְרַע אֶת־זַרְעֶךָ וְלָעֶרֶב אַל־תַּנַּח יָדֶךָ כִּי אֵינְךָ יֹודֵע אֵי זֶה יִכְשָׁר הֲזֶה אֹו־זֶה וְאִם־שְׁנֵיהֶם כְּאֶחָד טֹובִים׃
|
6. In the morning H1242 sow H2232 H853 thy seed H2233 , and in the evening H6153 withhold H5117 not H408 thine hand H3027 : for H3588 thou knowest H3045 not H369 whether H335 H2088 shall prosper H3787 , either this H2088 or H176 that H2088 , or whether H518 they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good H2896 .
|
|
7. וּמָתֹוק הָאֹור וְטֹוב לַעֵינַיִם לִרְאֹות אֶת־הַשָּׁמֶשׁ׃
|
7. Truly the light H216 is sweet H4966 , and a pleasant H2896 thing it is for the eyes H5869 to behold H7200 H853 the sun H8121 :
|
|
8. כִּי אִם־שָׁנִים הַרְבֵּה יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם בְּכֻלָּם יִשְׂמָח וְיִזְכֹּר אֶת־יְמֵי הַחֹשֶׁךְ כִּי־הַרְבֵּה יִהְיוּ כָּל־שֶׁבָּא הָבֶל׃
|
8. But H3588 if H518 a man H120 live H2421 many H7235 years H8141 , and rejoice H8055 in them all H3605 ; yet let him remember H2142 H853 the days H3117 of darkness H2822 ; for H3588 they shall be H1961 many H7235 . All H3605 that cometh H7945 H935 is vanity H1892 .
|
|
9. שְׂמַח בָּחוּר בְּיַלְדוּתֶיךָ וִיטִיבְךָ לִבְּךָ בִּימֵי בְחוּרֹותֶךָ וְהַלֵּךְ בְּדַרְכֵי לִבְּךָ וּבְמַרְאֵי עֵינֶיךָ וְדָע כִּי עַל־כָּל־אֵלֶּה יְבִיאֲךָ הָאֱלֹהִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט׃
|
9. Rejoice H8055 , O young man H970 , in thy youth H3208 ; and let thy heart H3820 cheer H3190 thee in the days H3117 of thy youth H979 , and walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of thine heart H3820 , and in the sight H4758 of thine eyes H5869 : but know H3045 thou, that H3588 for H5921 all H3605 these H428 things God H430 will bring H935 thee into judgment H4941 .
|
|
10. וְהָסֵר כַּעַס מִלִּבֶּךָ וְהַעֲבֵר רָעָה מִבְּשָׂרֶךָ כִּי־הַיַּלְדוּת וְהַשַּׁחֲרוּת הָבֶל׃
|
10. Therefore remove H5493 sorrow H3708 from thy heart H4480 H3820 , and put away H5674 evil H7451 from thy flesh H4480 H1320 : for H3588 childhood H3208 and youth H7839 are vanity H1892 .
