וּזְכֹר אֶת־בֹּורְאֶיךָ בִּימֵי בְּחוּרֹתֶיךָ עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָבֹאוּ יְמֵי הָרָעָה וְהִגִּיעוּ שָׁנִים אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמַר אֵין־לִי בָהֶם חֵפֶץ׃ | Qoh 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; |
עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תֶחְשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְהָאֹור וְהַיָּרֵחַ וְהַכֹּוכָבִים וְשָׁבוּ הֶעָבִים אַחַר הַגָּשֶׁם׃ | Qoh 12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: |
בַּיֹּום שֶׁיָּזֻעוּ שֹׁמְרֵי הַבַּיִת וְהִתְעַוְּתוּ אַנְשֵׁי הֶחָיִל וּבָטְלוּ הַטֹּחֲנֹות כִּי מִעֵטוּ וְחָשְׁכוּ הָרֹאֹות בָּאֲרֻבֹּות׃ | Qoh 12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, |
וְסֻגְּרוּ דְלָתַיִם בַּשּׁוּק בִּשְׁפַל קֹול הַטַּחֲנָה וְיָקוּם לְקֹול הַצִּפֹּור וְיִשַּׁחוּ כָּל־בְּנֹות הַשִּׁיר׃ | Qoh 12:4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; |
גַּם מִגָּבֹהַּ יִרָאוּ וְחַתְחַתִּים בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְיָנֵאץ הַשָּׁקֵד וְיִסְתַּבֵּל הֶחָגָב וְתָפֵר הָאֲבִיֹּונָה כִּי־הֹלֵךְ הָאָדָם אֶל־בֵּית עֹולָמֹו וְסָבְבוּ בַשּׁוּק הַסֹּפְדִים׃ | Qoh 12:5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: |
עַד עַד אֲשֶׁר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יֵרָתֵק חֶבֶל יֵרָתֵק חֶבֶל הַכֶּסֶף הַכֶּסֶף וְתָרֻץ וְתָרֻץ גֻּלַּת גֻּלַּת הַזָּהָב וְתִשָּׁבֶר הַזָּהָב וְתִשָּׁבֶר כַּד כַּד עַל־עַל־הַמַּבּוּעַ הַמַּבּוּעַ וְנָרֹץ הַגַּלְגַּל וְנָרֹץ אֶל־הַגַּלְגַּל הַבֹּור׃ אֶל־הַבֹּור׃ | Qoh 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. |
וְיָשֹׁב הֶעָפָר עַל־הָאָרֶץ כְּשֶׁהָיָה וְהָרוּחַ תָּשׁוּב אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר נְתָנָהּ׃ | Qoh 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. |
הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים אָמַר הַקֹּוהֶלֶת הַכֹּל הָבֶל׃ | Qoh 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. |
וְיֹתֵר שֶׁהָיָה קֹהֶלֶת חָכָם עֹוד לִמַּד־דַּעַת אֶת־הָעָם וְאִזֵּן וְחִקֵּר תִּקֵּן מְשָׁלִים הַרְבֵּה׃ | Qoh 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. |
בִּקֵּשׁ קֹהֶלֶת לִמְצֹא דִּבְרֵי־חֵפֶץ וְכָתוּב יֹשֶׁר דִּבְרֵי אֱמֶת׃ | Qoh 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. |
דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים כַּדָּרְבֹנֹות וּכְמַשְׂמְרֹות נְטוּעִים בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפֹּות נִתְּנוּ מֵרֹעֶה אֶחָד׃ | Qoh 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. |
וְיֹתֵר מֵהֵמָּה בְּנִי הִזָּהֵר עֲשֹׂות סְפָרִים הַרְבֵּה אֵין קֵץ וְלַהַג הַרְבֵּה יְגִעַת בָּשָׂר׃ | Qoh 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. |
סֹוף דָּבָר הַכֹּל נִשְׁמָע אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָא וְאֶת־מִצְוֹתָיו שְׁמֹור כִּי־זֶה כָּל־הָאָדָם׃ | Qoh 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. |
הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי אֶת־יָבִא כָּל־בְמִשְׁפָּט עַל מַעֲשֶׂה כָּל־הָאֱלֹהִים נֶעְלָם יָבִא בְמִשְׁפָּט אִם־טֹוב עַל כָּל־וְאִם־רָע׃ נֶעְלָם אִם־טֹוב וְאִם־רָע׃ | Qoh 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. |
