| אל־תבה֨ל על־פ֜יך ולבך֧ אל־ימה֛ר להוצ֥יא דב֖ר לפנ֣י האלה֑ים כ֣י האלה֤ים בשמ֙ים֙ ואת֣ה על־הא֔רץ עֽל־כ֛ן יהי֥ו דבר֖יך מעטֽים׃ | Qoh 5:1 [KJV 5:2] Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. |
| כ֛י ב֥א החל֖ום בר֣ב עני֑ן וק֥ול כס֖יל בר֥ב דברֽים׃ | Qoh 5:2 [KJV 5:3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. |
| כאשר֩ תד֨ר נ֜דר לֽאלה֗ים אל־תאחר֙ לשלמ֔ו כ֛י א֥ין ח֖פץ בכסיל֑ים א֥ת אשר־תד֖ר שלֽם׃ | Qoh 5:3 [KJV 5:4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. |
| ט֖וב אש֣ר לֽא־תד֑ר משתד֖ור ול֥א תשלֽם׃ | Qoh 5:4 [KJV 5:5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. |
| אל־תת֤ן את־פ֙יך֙ לחט֣יא את־בשר֔ך ואל־תאמר֙ לפנ֣י המלא֔ך כ֥י שגג֖ה ה֑יא ל֣מה יקצ֤ף הֽאלהים֙ על־קול֔ך וחב֖ל את־מעש֥ה ידֽיך׃ | Qoh 5:5 [KJV 5:6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? |
| כ֣י בר֤ב חלמות֙ והבל֔ים ודבר֖ים הרב֑ה כ֥י את־האלה֖ים ירֽא׃ | Qoh 5:6 [KJV 5:7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. |
| אם־ע֣שק ר֠ש וג֨זל משפ֤ט וצ֙דק֙ תרא֣ה במדינ֔ה אל־תתמ֖ה על־הח֑פץ כ֣י גב֜ה מע֤ל גב֙ה֙ שמ֔ר וגבה֖ים עליהֽם׃ | Qoh 5:7 [KJV 5:8] If thou seest 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 regardeth; and there be higher than they. |
| ויתר֥ון א֖רץ בכ֣ל ה֑וא מ֥לך לשד֖ה נעבֽד׃ | Qoh 5:8 [KJV 5:9] Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. |
| אה֥ב כ֙סף֙ לא־ישב֣ע כ֔סף ומֽי־אה֥ב בהמ֖ון ל֣א תבוא֑ה גם־ז֖ה הֽבל׃ | Qoh 5:9 [KJV 5:10] He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. |
| ברבות֙ ברבות֙ הטוב֔ה הטוב֔ה רב֖ו רב֖ו אוכל֑יה אוכל֑יה ומה־ומה־כשרון֙ כשרון֙ לבעל֔יה לבעל֔יה כ֖י כ֖י רא֥ות אם־עינֽיו׃ רא֥ות עינֽיו׃ | Qoh 5:10 [KJV 5:11] 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? |
| מתוקה֙ שנ֣ת העב֔ד אם־מע֥ט ואם־הרב֖ה יאכ֑ל והשבע֙ לֽעש֔יר אינ֛נו מנ֥יחֽ ל֖ו לישֽון׃ | Qoh 5:11 [KJV 5:12] 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. |
| י֚ש רע֣ה חול֔ה רא֖יתי ת֣חת הש֑מש ע֛שר שמ֥ור לבעל֖יו לרעתֽו׃ | Qoh 5:12 [KJV 5:13] There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. |
| ואב֛ד הע֥שר הה֖וא בעני֣ן ר֑ע והול֣יד ב֔ן וא֥ין ביד֖ו מאֽומה׃ | Qoh 5:13 [KJV 5:14] But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. |
| כאש֤ר יצא֙ מב֣טן אמ֔ו ער֛ום יש֥וב לל֖כת כשב֑א ומא֙ומה֙ לא־יש֣א בעמל֔ו שיל֖ך בידֽו׃ | Qoh 5:14 [KJV 5:15] As he came forth 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. |
| וגם־זה֙ רע֣ה חול֔ה כל־עמ֥ת שב֖א כ֣ן יל֑ך ומה־יתר֣ון ל֔ו שֽיעמ֖ל לרֽוח׃ | Qoh 5:15 [KJV 5:16] And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? |
| ג֥ם כל־ימ֖יו בח֣שך יאכ֑ל וכע֥ס הרב֖ה וחלי֥ו וקֽצף׃ | Qoh 5:16 [KJV 5:17] All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. |
| הנ֞ה הנ֞ה אשר־אשר־רא֣יתי רא֣יתי א֗ני א֗ני ט֣וב ט֣וב אשר־אשר־יפ֣ה יפ֣ה לֽאכול־לֽאכול־ו֠לשתות ו֠לשתות ולרא֨ות ולרא֨ות טוב֜ה טוב֜ה בכל־בכל־עמל֣ו׀ עמל֣ו׀ שיעמ֣ל שיעמ֣ל תֽחת־תֽחת־הש֗מש הש֗מש מספ֧ר מספ֧ר ימי־ימי־חי֛ו חי֛יו אשר־חי֛יו נֽתן־אשר־נֽתן־ל֥ו ל֥ו האלה֖ים האלה֖ים כי־ה֥וא כי־ה֥וא חלקֽו׃ חלקֽו׃ | Qoh 5:17 [KJV 5:18] 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 taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. |
| ג֣ם כֽל־האד֡ם אש֣ר נֽתן־ל֣ו האלהים֩ ע֨שר ונכס֜ים והשליט֨ו לאכ֤ל ממ֙נו֙ ולש֣את את־חלק֔ו ולשמ֖ח בעמל֑ו ז֕ה מת֥ת אלה֖ים הֽיא׃ | Qoh 5:18 [KJV 5:19] Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. |
| כ֚י ל֣א הרב֔ה יזכ֖ר את־ימ֣י חי֑יו כ֧י האלה֛ים מענ֖ה בשמח֥ת לבֽו׃ | Qoh 5:19 [KJV 5:20] For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. |
