                                    1 Ord af Prædikeren, Davids Søn, Konge i Jerusalem.

                                    2 Endeløs Tomhed, sagde Prædikeren, endeløs Tomhed, alt er Tomhed!                                

                                    2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,“Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”

                                    3 Hvad Vinding har Mennesket af al den Flid, han gør sig under Solen?                                

                                    3 What advantage does man have in all his workWhich he does under the sun?

                                    4 Slægt går, og Slægt kommer, men Jorden står til evig Tid.                                

                                    4 A generation goes and a generation comes,But the earth remains forever.

                                    5 Sol står op, og Sol går ned og haster igen til sin Opgangs Sted.                                

                                    5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets;And hastening to its place it rises there again.

                                    6 Vinden går mod Syd og drejer mod Nord, den drejer atter og atter og vender tilbage til samme Kredsløb.                                

                                    6 Blowing toward the south,Then turning toward the north,The wind continues swirling along;And on its circular courses the wind returns.

                                    7 Alle Bække løber i Havet, men Havet bliver ikke fuldt; det Sted, til hvilket Bækkene løber, did bliver de ved at løbe.                                

                                    7 All the rivers flow into the sea,Yet the sea is not full.To the place where the rivers flow,There they flow again.

                                    8 Alting slider sig træt; Mand hører ikke op med at tale, Øjet bliver ikke mæt af at se, Øret ej fuldt af at høre.                                

                                    8 All things are wearisome;Man is not able to tell it.The eye is not satisfied with seeing,Nor is the ear filled with hearing.

                                    9 Det, der kommer, er det, der var, det, der sker, er det, der skete; der er slet intet nyt under Solen.                                

                                    9 That which has been is that which will be,And that which has been done is that which will be done.So there is nothing new under the sun.

                                    10 Kommer der noget, om hvilket man siger: "Se, her er da noget nyt!"det har dog for længst været til i Tiderne forud for os                                

                                    10 Is there anything of which one might say,“See this, it is new”?Already it has existed for agesWhich were before us.

                                    11 Ej mindes de svundne Slægter, og de ny, som kommer engang, skal ej heller mindes af dem, som kommer senere hen.                                

                                    11 There is no remembrance of earlier things;And also of the later things which will occur,There will be for them no remembranceAmong those who will come later still.

                                    12 Jeg, Prædikeren, var Konge over Israel i Jerusalem.                                

                                    12 I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

                                    13 Jeg vendte min Hu til at ransage og med Visdom udgranske alt, hvad der sker under Himmelen; det er et ondt Slid, som Gud har givet Menneskens Børn at slide med.                                

                                    13 And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

                                    14 Jeg så alt, hvad der sker under Solen, og se, det er alt sammen Tomhed og Jag efter Vind.                                

                                    14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.

                                    15 Kroget kan ej blive lige, og halvt kan ej blive helt.                                

                                    15 What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted.

                                    16 Jeg tænkte ved mig selv: "Se, jeg har vundet større og rigere Visdom end alle de, der før mig var over Jerusalem, og mit Hjerte har skuet Visdom og Kundskab i Fylde."                                

                                    16 I said to myself, “Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”

                                    17 Jeg vendte min Hu til at fatte, hvad der er Visdom og Kundskab, og hvad der er Dårskab og Tåbelighed; jeg skønnede, at også det er Jag efter Vind.                                

                                    17 And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind.

                                    18 Thi megen Visdom megen Græmmelse, øget Kundskab øget Smerte. ﻿                                

                                    18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
