1 (UKJV) Keep your foot when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
1 (ROH) Strež svoju nohu, keď ideš do domu Božieho, a pristúp, aby si počul, lebo to je lepšie, ako keď blázni dávajú bitnú obeť, pretože nevedia o tom, keď robia zle.

2 (UKJV) Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few.
2 (ROH) Nenáhli svojimi ústami, a tvoje srdce nech sa neponáhľa vyniesť slovo pred Bohom, pretože Bôh je na nebesiach, a ty si na zemi, preto nech je tvojich slov málo.

3 (UKJV) "For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. "
3 (ROH) Lebo jako ide spánok s mnohým zamestnaním, tak i hlas blázna s mnohými slovami.

4 (UKJV) "When you vow a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed. "
4 (ROH) Keby si sľúbil Bohu sľub, neodkladaj ho splniť; lebo neni záľuby v bláznoch; to, čo sľúbiš, splň!

5 (UKJV) Better is it that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
5 (ROH) Je lepšie, aby si nesľuboval, než aby si sľúbil a nesplnil.

6 (UKJV) "Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands? "
6 (ROH) Nedaj svojich úst, aby spôsobily to, že by hrešilo tvoje telo, ani nepovedz pred anjelom, že je to omyl. Prečo sa má Bôh hnevať na tvoj hlas a zkaziť dielo tvojich rúk?

7 (UKJV) For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear you God.
7 (ROH) Lebo kde je mnoho snov, tam i márnosti, i kde mnoho slov. Boj sa istotne Boha!

8 (UKJV) "If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regards; and there be higher than they. "
8 (ROH) Keby si videl utiskovanie chudobného a olupovanie súdu a spravedlivosti v krajine, nediv sa tej veci; lebo však vysoký s hora pozoruje vysokého a vysokí nad nimi.

9 (UKJV) Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
9 (ROH) A užitok zeme je vo všetkom; i samému kráľovi slúži pole.

10 (UKJV) "He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance with increase: this is also vanity. "
10 (ROH) Ten, kto miluje peniaze, nenasýti sa peňazí; a ten, kto miluje bohatstvo, nenasýti sa dôchodku. Aj to je márnosť.

11 (UKJV) When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
11 (ROH) Keď sa množí majetok, množia sa i tí, ktorí ho jedia; a jaký iný užitok má jeho pán krome že sa naň dívajú jeho oči?

12 (UKJV) The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
12 (ROH) Sladký je sen pracujúceho, už či jie málo a či mnoho; ale sýtosť bohatého nedopustí mu spať.

13 (UKJV) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
13 (ROH) Je šeredné zlo, ktoré som videl pod slnkom: bohatstvo, zachované jeho majiteľovi na jeho zlé.

14 (UKJV) But those riches perish by evil travail: and he bring forths a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
14 (ROH) Také bohatstvo zhynie pre zlú správu, a jestli splodil syna, nieto ničoho v jeho ruke.

15 (UKJV) As he came out of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
15 (ROH) Jako vyšiel zo života svojej matky, zase tak odchádza nahý, jako prišiel, ani nevezme ničoho za svoju prácu, čo by odniesol vo svojej ruke.

16 (UKJV) And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has laboured for the wind?
16 (ROH) Aj to je šeredné zlo, že celkom tak, ako prišiel, aj odíde, a tedy jaký má užitok z toho, že pracoval do vetra?

17 (UKJV) All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
17 (ROH) A ešte k tomu jedol po všetky svoje dni vo tme, pri čom zažil mnoho nevole i nemoci i hnevu.

18 (UKJV) Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion.
18 (ROH) Hľa, čo som ja videl: čo je dobré a čo pekné, je to, aby jedol človek a pil a videl dobré vo všetkej svojej práci, ktorou sa trudí pod slnkom ten skromný počet dní svojho života, ktoré mu dal Bôh, lebo to je jeho podiel.

19 (UKJV) "Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. "
19 (ROH) Ako aj keď dal Bôh ktorémukoľvek človekovi bohatstvo a poklady a učinil ho pánom, aby jedol z toho a bral svoj podiel a radoval sa vo svojej práci, je to dar Boží.

20 (UKJV) "For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart. "
20 (ROH) (Lebo nebude toho mnoho, čo bude pamätať na dni svojho života), pretože Bôh odpovedá radosťou jeho srdca.
