我觀世人勞碌經營、皆緣彼此相妒、此亦屬於虛、皆如捕風、

我又见人为一切的劳碌和各样灵巧的工作就被邻舍嫉妒。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

我见人因彼此嫉妒而有一切的劳碌和各样工作的成就，这也是虚空，也是捕风。

我见人因彼此嫉妒而有一切的劳碌和各样工作的成就，这也是虚空，也是捕风。

我又看见人的一切劳碌和成就原是出于争强好胜。这也是虚空，如同捕风。

我看见各样的劳碌和各样精巧的工作，都是出于人与人彼此的竞争。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

我也看到，一切的劳苦和各样工作的技能，都是出于人与邻人之间的嫉妒。这也是虚空，也是捕风！

我又見人為一切的勞碌和各樣靈巧的工作就被鄰舍嫉妒。這也是虛空，也是捕風。

我見人因彼此嫉妒而有一切的勞碌和各樣工作的成就，這也是虛空，也是捕風。

我見人因彼此嫉妒而有一切的勞碌和各樣工作的成就，這也是虛空，也是捕風。

我又看見人的一切勞碌和成就原是出於爭強好勝。這也是虛空，如同捕風。

我看見各樣的勞碌和各樣精巧的工作，都是出於人與人彼此的競爭。這也是虛空，也是捕風。

我又看一切勞碌和各樣工作上的技巧都是人對鄰舍羨慕之表現：這也是虛空，也是捕風。

我也看到，一切的勞苦和各樣工作的技能，都是出於人與鄰人之間的嫉妒。這也是虛空，也是捕風！

我見人因勞力、及諸巧工、為鄰所嫉、斯亦虛空、乃為捕風、

我觀世人、勞而得功、同人媢嫉、此亦捕風捉影而已。

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

I also saw that a person works hard and accomplishes a lot. But they do it only because they want what another person has. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless— like chasing the wind.

I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person’s jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind.

Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to a man’s jealousy of his friend. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This[ is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Then I considered all the skillful work that is done: Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another. This also is profitless– like chasing the wind.

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

我觀日下所作之事、皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、

有人以智慧、知識、精明、精明或作技能勞碌經營、將所得者、遺於未勞之人為業、此亦屬於虛、甚為不美、

事多則虛浮必多、於人何益、

掃羅怒甚、不悅其言、曰、以萬萬歸大衛、以千千歸我、僅餘王位、未為所得、未為所得或作未予之自此日後、掃羅怒視大衛、

天主所悅者、賜以智慧、知識、歡樂、獲罪於天主者、天主則畀以收斂積蓄之任、終歸於天主所悅者用、此亦屬於虛、亦如捕風、

亞伯亦奉獻首生之羊及脂膏、主眷顧亞伯與其所獻之物、不眷顧該隱與其所獻之物、該隱怒而變色、主謂該隱曰、爾怒變色何故、爾若行善、豈不蒙悅納乎、若不行善、則孽伏於門、彼繫戀爾、爾猶將制之、後、該隱與弟亞伯晤言、二人適在田間、該隱遂起、攻弟亞伯而殺之、

彼所率之民無數、而後人又不悅之、此亦屬於虛、亦如捕風、○

目睹勝於心戀、然皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、○

大衛無論何往、無不亨通、主皆祐之、掃羅見大衛諸事亨通、懼之益甚、以色列與猶大眾、均愛大衛、緣恆率之出入、

約瑟年十有七、偕諸兄牧羊、尚為童子、與父妾辟拉悉帕之子為侶、諸兄有過、約瑟以之告父、以色列生約瑟時、年已老邁、故愛之過於眾子、為製綵衣、諸兄見父愛約瑟過於己、故憾之、不能以善言與之言、約瑟得夢、述於諸兄、諸兄憾之愈甚、約瑟謂之曰、我所夢者、請聽之、我儕在田束禾、我所束者起而立、爾所束者環我束而拜、諸兄曰、然則爾將為我王乎、將轄我乎、故因其夢與言益憾之、約瑟復夢、以述於諸兄曰、我又得一夢、見日月與十一星皆拜我、約瑟以此夢告父兄時、父斥之曰、爾所夢者何歟、我與爾母及爾兄弟果將伏地拜爾乎、諸兄嫉之、惟父誌其言、

則懼大衛愈甚、恆為大衛之敵、值非利士諸伯出戰時、大衛較掃羅諸臣僕所行更亨通、於是其名甚揚、為眾人所尊、

人之怒酷烈、人之忿狂暴、狂暴或作如水橫流人之妒嫉、更為難當、更為難當原文作孰能當之

蓋彼拉多知眾因娼嫉而解耶穌、

爾以為聖經所言徒然乎、居於我內之神、居於我內之神或作天主所賜居於我內之神乃使人懷慾以致嫉妒乎、或作經載云居於我內之神甚欲我熱中服之爾意是言徒然乎

列祖妒約瑟、鬻於伊及、天主偕之、
