傳道書 5	Ecclesiastes 5
傳道書 5:1 ^ 你到　神的殿、要謹慎腳步．因為近前聽、勝過愚昧人獻祭、〔或作勝過獻愚昧人的祭〕、他們本不知道所作的是惡。	Ecclesiastes 5:1 ^ Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.
傳道書 5:2 ^ 你在　神面前不可冒失開口、也不可心急發言．因為　神在天上、你在地下、所以你的言語要寡少。	Ecclesiastes 5:2 ^ Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.
傳道書 5:3 ^ 事務多、就令人作夢、言語多、就顯出愚昧。	Ecclesiastes 5:3 ^ As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.
傳道書 5:4 ^ 你向　神許願、償還不可遲延．因他不喜悅愚昧人．所以你許的願應當償還。	Ecclesiastes 5:4 ^ When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.
傳道書 5:5 ^ 你許願不還、不如不許。	Ecclesiastes 5:5 ^ It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.
傳道書 5:6 ^ 不可任你的口使肉體犯罪．也不可在祭司〔原文作使者〕面前說是錯許了．為何使　神因你的聲音發怒、敗壞你手所作的呢。	Ecclesiastes 5:6 ^ Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.
傳道書 5:7 ^ 多夢和多言、其中多有虛幻．你只要敬畏　神。	Ecclesiastes 5:7 ^ Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.
傳道書 5:8 ^ 你若在一省之中見窮人受欺壓、並奪去公義公平的事、不要因此詫異．因有一位高過居高位的鑒察．在他們以上還有更高的。	Ecclesiastes 5:8 ^ If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.
傳道書 5:9 ^ 況且地的益處歸眾人．就是君王也受田地的供應。	Ecclesiastes 5:9 ^ It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.
傳道書 5:10 ^ 貪愛銀子的、不因得銀子知足．貪愛豐富的、也不因得利益知足．這也是虛空。	Ecclesiastes 5:10 ^ He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.
傳道書 5:11 ^ 貨物增添、喫的人也增添．物主得甚麼益處呢、不過眼看而已。	Ecclesiastes 5:11 ^ When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?
傳道書 5:12 ^ 勞碌的人、不拘喫多喫少、睡得香甜．富足人的豐滿、卻不容他睡覺。	Ecclesiastes 5:12 ^ The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.
傳道書 5:13 ^ 我見日光之下、有一宗大禍患、就是財主積存貲財、反害自己．	Ecclesiastes 5:13 ^ There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.
傳道書 5:14 ^ 因遭遇禍患、這些貲財就消滅．那人若生了兒子、手裡也一無所有。	Ecclesiastes 5:14 ^ And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.
傳道書 5:15 ^ 他怎樣從母胎赤身而來、也必照樣赤身而去．他所勞碌得來的、手中分毫不能帶去。	Ecclesiastes 5:15 ^ As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
傳道書 5:16 ^ 他來的情形怎樣、他去的情形也怎樣．這也是一宗大禍患．他為風勞碌有甚麼益處呢。	Ecclesiastes 5:16 ^ And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
傳道書 5:17 ^ 並且他終身在黑暗中喫喝、多有煩惱、又有病患嘔氣。	Ecclesiastes 5:17 ^ All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.
傳道書 5:18 ^ 我所見為善為美的、就是人在　神賜他一生的日子喫喝、享受日光之下勞碌得來的好處．因為這是他的分。	Ecclesiastes 5:18 ^ This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.
傳道書 5:19 ^ 　神賜人貲財豐富、使他能以喫用、能取自己的分、在他勞碌中喜樂．這乃是　神的恩賜。	Ecclesiastes 5:19 ^ Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.
傳道書 5:20 ^ 他不多思念自己一生的年日．因為　神應他的心使他喜樂。	Ecclesiastes 5:20 ^ He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.
