傳道書 3.10-14

I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

 我見上帝叫世人勞苦，使他們在其中受經練。  上帝造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永生（原文作永遠）安置在世人心裏。然而上帝從始至終的作為，人不能參透。  我知道世人，莫強如終身喜樂行善；  並且人人吃喝，在他一切勞碌中享福，這也是上帝的恩賜。  我知道上帝一切所做的都必永存；無所增添，無所減少。上帝這樣行，是要人在他麵前存敬畏的心。
