傳道書 Ecclesiastes

11:1	[hb5]	當將你的糧食撒在水面、因為日久必能得著。
	[kjv]	Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
	[bbe]	Put out your bread on the face of the waters; for after a long time it will come back to you again.
11:2	[hb5]	你要分給七人、或分給八人、因為你不知道將來有甚麼災禍臨到地上。
	[kjv]	Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
	[bbe]	Give a part to seven or even to eight, because you have no knowledge of the evil which will be on the earth.
11:3	[hb5]	雲若滿了雨、就必傾倒在地上．樹若向南倒、或向北倒、樹倒在何處、就存在何處。
	[kjv]	If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
	[bbe]	If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.
11:4	[hb5]	看風的必不撒種．望雲的必不收割。
	[kjv]	He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
	[bbe]	He who is watching the wind will not get the seed planted, and he who is looking at the clouds will not get in the grain.
11:5	[hb5]	風從何道來、骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成、你尚且不得知道、這樣、行萬事之　神的作為、你更不得知道。
	[kjv]	As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
	[bbe]	As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.
11:6	[hb5]	早晨要撒你的種、晚上也不要歇你的手、因為你不知道那一樣發旺、或是早撒的、或是晚撒的、或是兩樣都好。
	[kjv]	In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
	[bbe]	In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.
11:7	[hb5]	光本是佳美的、眼見日光也是可悅的。
	[kjv]	Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
	[bbe]	Truly the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
11:8	[hb5]	人活多年、就當快樂多年．然而也當想到黑暗的日子、因為這日子必多、所要來的都是虛空。
	[kjv]	But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
	[bbe]	But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.
11:9	[hb5]	少年人哪、你在幼年時當快樂．在幼年的日子、使你的心歡暢、行你心所願行的、看你眼所愛看的、卻要知道、為這一切的事、　神必審問你。
	[kjv]	Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
	[bbe]	Have joy, O young man, while you are young; and let your heart be glad in the days of your strength, and go in the ways of your heart, and in the desire of your eyes; but be certain that for all these things God will be your judge.
11:10	[hb5]	所以你當從心中除掉愁煩．從肉體克去邪惡．因為一生的開端、和幼年之時、都是虛空的。
	[kjv]	Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
	[bbe]	So put away trouble from your heart, and sorrow from your flesh; because the early years and the best years are to no purpose.
