1 (HEM) שמר רגליך כאשר תלך אל בית האלהים וקרוב לשמע מתת הכסילים זבח כי אינם יודעים לעשות רע׃
1 (VUL) Ne temere quid loquaris, neque cor tuum sit velox ad proferen dum sermonem coram Deo; Deus enim in caelo, et tu super terram: idcirco sint pauci sermones tui.
1 (KAT) Nehovor ústami bez uváženia! Ani myseľ nech sa ti neprenáhli predniesť slovo pred Bohom! Lebo Boh je (vysoko) na nebi a ty si zasa na zemi. Preto nech nie je tvojich slov veľa.
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.

2 (HEM) אל תבהל על פיך ולבך אל ימהר להוציא דבר לפני האלהים כי האלהים בשמים ואתה על הארץ על כן יהיו דבריך מעטים׃
2 (VUL) Multas curas sequuntur somnia, et in multis sermonibus invenietur stultitia.
2 (KAT) Lebo (ako) spánok prichádza po mnohej námahe, tak má hlas pochabého zas mnoho rečí.
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.

3 (HEM) כי בא החלום ברב ענין וקול כסיל ברב דברים׃
3 (VUL) Si quid vovisti Deo, ne moreris reddere: displicet enim ei stulta promissio; sed, quodcumque voveris, redde.
3 (KAT) Ak sľubuješ Bohu sľub, nemeškaj s jeho vyplnením, lebo nemôže mať záľubu v pochabých; čokoľvek si teda sľúbil, to aj splň!
3 (UKJV) "For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. "

4 (HEM) כאשר תדר נדר לאלהים אל תאחר לשלמו כי אין חפץ בכסילים את אשר תדר שלם׃
4 (VUL) Multoque melius est non vovere, quam post votum promissa non reddere.
4 (KAT) Lepšie sľub (vôbec) nerobiť, ako keby si sľúbil, a (sľub) nesplnil.
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. "

5 (HEM) טוב אשר לא תדר משתדור ולא תשלם׃
5 (VUL) Ne dederis os tuum, ut peccare faciat carnem tuam, neque dicas coram angelo: “ Error fuit ”; ne forte iratus Deus contra sermones tuos dissipet opera manuum tuarum.
5 (KAT) Nedovoľ svojim ústam, aby ti priviedli telo do hriechu, ani nehovor pred (Božím) poslom, že sa to a to stalo nevedomky. Prečo by sa mal Boh rozhnevať pre tvoje slovo? Navnivoč privedie dielo tvojich rúk!
5 (UKJV) Better is it that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

6 (HEM) אל תתן את פיך לחטיא את בשרך ואל תאמר לפני המלאך כי שגגה היא למה יקצף האלהים על קולך וחבל את מעשה ידיך׃
6 (VUL) Ubi multa sunt somnia, plurimae sunt vanitates et sermones innumeri; tu vero Deum time.
6 (KAT) Lebo kde je veľa snov, tam je aj mnoho márnivých slov - ty však maj bázeň pred Bohom!
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? "

7 (HEM) כי ברב חלמות והבלים ודברים הרבה כי את האלהים ירא׃
7 (VUL) Si videris calumnias egenorum et subreptionem iudicii et iustitiae in provincia, non mireris super hoc negotio, quia excelso excelsior vigilat, et super hos quoque eminentiores sunt alii;
7 (KAT) Ak vidíš, že chudobný trpí útlak a ozbíjanie (vládne) namiesto práva a spravodlivosti v meste - nečuduj sa nijako takej veci! Lebo vyšší dohliada na vysokopostaveného a zasa nad nimi sú ustanovení vyšší (páni).
7 (UKJV) For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear you God.

8 (HEM) אם עשק רש וגזל משפט וצדק תראה במדינה אל תתמה על החפץ כי גבה מעל גבה שמר וגבהים עליהם׃
8 (VUL) et terrae lucrum in omnibus est rex, cuius agri culti sunt.
8 (KAT) A z toho všetkého má krajina túto výhodu: na službu na istom území ustanovia si kráľa.
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. "

9 (HEM) ויתרון ארץ בכל היא מלך לשדה נעבד׃
9 (VUL) Qui diligit pecuniam, pecunia non implebitur; et, qui amat divitias, fructum non capiet ex eis; et hoc ergo vanitas.
9 (KAT) Kto miluje peniaze, nikdy nemá peňazí dostatok. Kto má rád nahromadený (majetok), nemá (dosť) zisku. (Ale) aj to je márnosť.
9 (UKJV) Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 (HEM) אהב כסף לא ישבע כסף ומי אהב בהמון לא תבואה גם זה הבל׃
10 (VUL) Ubi multae sunt opes, multi et qui comedunt eas; et quid prodest possessori, nisi quod cernit divitias oculis suis?
10 (KAT) Ako sa (totiž) množí majetok, tak sa množia aj tí, čo z neho jedia. Akýže osoh má z neho jeho majiteľ? Iba toľko, že jeho oči hľadia naň.
10 (UKJV) "He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loves abundance with increase: this is also vanity. "

11 (HEM) ברבות הטובה רבו אוכליה ומה כשרון לבעליה כי אם ראית עיניו׃
11 (VUL) Dulcis est somnus operanti, sive parum sive multum comedat; saturitas autem divitis non sinit eum dormire.
11 (KAT) Kto pracuje, má sladký spánok, či sa naje menej a či viac. Nasýtenosť však nedopraje boháčovi spať.
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?

12 (HEM) מתוקה שנת העבד אם מעט ואם הרבה יאכל והשבע לעשיר איננו מניח לו לישון׃
12 (VUL) Est et infirmitas pessima, quam vidi sub sole: divitiae conservatae in malum domini sui.
12 (KAT) Je tu (aj iná) zlá choroba, ktorú som videl pod slnkom. (Je to) bohatstvo, ktoré sa majiteľovi zachová na jeho nešťastie.
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.

13 (HEM) יש רעה חולה ראיתי תחת השמש עשר שמור לבעליו לרעתו׃
13 (VUL) Perierunt enim in negotio pessimo; si generavit filium, in summa egestate erit.
13 (KAT) Bohatstvo môže zahynúť, (ak s ním) narábajú zle; a ak sa mu narodí syn, nemá vo svojich rukách ničoho.
13 (UKJV) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

14 (HEM) ואבד העשר ההוא בענין רע והוליד בן ואין בידו מאומה׃
14 (VUL) Sicut egressus est de utero matris suae, nudus iterum abibit, sicut venit, et nihil auferet secum de labore suo, quod tollat in manu sua.
14 (KAT) Ako nahý vyšiel zo života svojej matky, tak musí aj odísť, aký prišiel; neodnesie si nič zo svojej námahy, (ani toľko), čo by v hrsti uniesol.
14 (UKJV) But those riches perish by evil travail: and he bring forths a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

15 (HEM) כאשר יצא מבטן אמו ערום ישוב ללכת כשבא ומאומה לא ישא בעמלו שילך בידו׃
15 (VUL) Miserabilis prorsus infirmitas: quomodo venit, sic revertetur. Quid ergo prodest ei quod laboravit in ventum?
15 (KAT) Aj toto je zlá choroba: celkom tak, ako prišiel, musí odísť; a čo za osoh má taký, kto sa namáhavo hnal za vetrom?
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.

16 (HEM) וגם זה רעה חולה כל עמת שבא כן ילך ומה יתרון לו שיעמל לרוח׃
16 (VUL) Cunctis enim diebus vitae suae comedit in tenebris et in curis multis et in aerumna atque tristitia.
16 (KAT) Po všetky svoje dni vo tme jedával, v premnohej mrzutosti, chorobe a podráždenosti.
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?

17 (HEM) גם כל ימיו בחשך יאכל וכעס הרבה וחליו וקצף׃
17 (VUL) Ecce quod ego vidi bonum, quod pulchrum, ut comedat quis et bibat et fruatur laetitia ex labore suo, quo laboravit ipse sub sole, numero dierum vitae suae, quos dedit ei Deus; haec enim est pars illius.
17 (KAT) Ale hľa, čo som uznal za dobré a čo je (v živote ozaj) pekné: Ak si môže človek zajedať a popíjať a dopriať si blaženosti za všetku svoju námahu, ktorou sa trápil pod slnkom podľa počtu dní svojho života, ktorý mu udelil Boh, lebo je to jeho podiel.
17 (UKJV) All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

18 (HEM) הנה אשר ראיתי אני טוב אשר יפה לאכול ולשתות ולראות טובה בכל עמלו שיעמל תחת השמש מספר ימי חיו אשר נתן לו האלהים כי הוא חלקו׃
18 (VUL) Et quidem omni homini, cui dedit Deus divitias atque substantiam, potestatemque ei tribuit, ut comedat ex eis et tollat partem suam et laetetur de labore suo: hoc est donum Dei.
18 (KAT) Aj to, ak niekomu z ľudí Boh udelil bohatstva, majetku (prehojne), a doprial mu možnosť užívať z neho a prevziať si tento svoj podiel, aby sa mohol radovať za všetky námahy; to je zaiste Boží dar - takáto (vec).
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.

19 (HEM) גם כל האדם אשר נתן לו האלהים עשר ונכסים והשליטו לאכל ממנו ולשאת את חלקו ולשמח בעמלו זה מתת אלהים היא׃
19 (VUL) Non enim satis recordabitur dierum vitae suae, eo quod Deus occupet deliciis cor eius.
19 (KAT) Človek totiž nemyslí príliš na dni svojho života, lebo Boh radosťou zamestnáva jeho srdce.
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. "

20 (HEM) כי לא הרבה יזכר את ימי חייו כי האלהים מענה בשמחת לבו׃
20 ----
20 ----
20 (UKJV) "For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart. "
