                                    1 (4:17) Var din fod, når du går til Guds Hus! At komme for at høre er bedre, end at Dårer bringer Slagtoffer, thi de har ikke Forstand til andet end at gøre ondt.                                

                                    1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.

                                    2 (5:1) Lad ikke din Mund løbe eller dit Hjerte haste med at udtale et Ord for Guds Åsyn; thi Gud er i Himmelen og du på Jorden, derfor skal dine Ord være få.                                

                                    2 Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.

                                    3 (5:2) Thi meget Slid giver Drømme, og mange Ord giver Dåretale.                                

                                    3 For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.

                                    4 (5:3) Når du giver Gud et Løfte, så tøv ikke med at holde det! Thi der er ingen Glæde ved Dårer. Hvad du lover, skal du holde.                                

                                    4 When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

                                    5 (5:4) Det er bedre, at du ikke lover, end at du lover uden at holde.                                

                                    5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

                                    6 (5:5) Lad ikke din Mund bringe Skyld over dit Legeme og sig ikke til Guds Sendebud, at det var af Vanvare! Hvorfor skal Gud vredes over din Tale og nedbryde dine Hænders Værk?                                

                                    6 Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

                                    7 (5:6) Thi af mange Drømme og Ord kommer mange Skuffelser; nej, frygt Gud!                                

                                    7 For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God.

                                    8 (5:7) Når du ser den fattige undertrykt og Lov og Ret krænket på din Egn, så undre dig ikke over den Ting; thi på den høje vogter en højere, og andre endnu højere vogter på dem begge.                                

                                    8 If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.

                                    9 (5:8) Dog, en Fordel for et Land er det i alt Fald, at der er en Konge over dyrket Jord.                                

                                    9 After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land.

                                    10 (5:9) Den, der elsker Sølv, mættes aldrig af Sølv, og den, der elsker Rigdom, mættes aldrig af Vinding. Også det er Tomhed.                                

                                    10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

                                    11 (5:10) Jo mere Gods, des flere til at fortære det, og hvad Gavn har Ejeren da deraf, ud over at hans Øjne ser det?                                

                                    11 When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?

                                    12 (5:11) Sød er Arbejderens Søvn, hvad enten han har lidt eller meget at spise; men den riges Overflod giver ikke ham Lov til at sove.                                

                                    12 The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.

                                    13 (5:12) Der er et slemt Onde, som jeg så under Solen: Rigdom gemt hen af sin Ejermand til hans Ulykke;                                

                                    13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches being hoarded by their owner to his hurt.

                                    14 (5:13) går Rigdommen tabt ved et Uheld, og han har avlet en Søn, så bliver der intet til ham.                                

                                    14 When those riches were lost through a bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing to support him.

                                    15 (5:14) Som han udgik af sin Moders Liv, skal han atter gå bort, lige så nøgen som han kom, og ved sin Flid vinder han intet, han kan tage med sig.                                

                                    15 As he had come naked from his mother’s womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.

                                    16 (5:15) Også det er et slemt Onde: ganske som han kom, går han bort, og hvad Vinding har han så af, at han gør sig Flid hen i Vejret?                                

                                    16 This also is a grievous evil—exactly as a man is born, thus will he die. So what is the advantage to him who toils for the wind?

                                    17 (5:16) Og dertil kommer et helt Liv i Mørke, Sorg og stor Kvide, Sygdom og Kummer.                                

                                    17 Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.

                                    18 (5:17) Se, hvad der efter mit Skøn er godt og smukt, det er at spise og drikke og nyde det gode under al den Flid, man gør sig under Solen, alle de Levedage Gud giver en; thi det er den Del, man har;                                

                                    18 Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.

                                    19 (5:18) og hver Gang Gud giver et Menneske Rigdom og Gods og sætter ham i Stand til at nyde det, og tage sin Del og glæde sig under sin Flid, da er det en Guds Gave;                                

                                    19 Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

                                    20 (5:19) thi da tænker han ikke stort på sine Levedage, idet Gud lader ham være optaget af sit Hjertes Glæde. ﻿                                

                                    20 For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.
