传道书 3.10-14

I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

 我见上帝叫世人劳苦，使他们在其中受经练。  上帝造万物，各按其时成为美好，又将永生（原文作永远）安置在世人心里。然而上帝从始至终的作为，人不能参透。  我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善；  并且人人吃喝，在他一切劳碌中享福，这也是上帝的恩赐。  我知道上帝一切所做的都必永存；无所增添，无所减少。上帝这样行，是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。
