¿µ¾î¼º°æ
A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Louis Second
ºÒ¾î¼º°æ
Il y a tel homme à qui Dieu a donné des richesses, des biens, et de la gloire, et qui ne manque pour son âme de rien de ce qu'il désire, mais que Dieu ne laisse pas maître d'en jouir, car c'est un étranger qui en jouira. C'est là une vanité et un mal grave
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Einer, dem GOtt Reichtum, Güter und Ehre gegeben hat, und mangelt ihm keines, das sein Herz begehrt, und GOtt doch ihm nicht Macht gibt, desselben zu genießen, sondern ein anderer verzehret es; das ist eitel und eine böse Plage.
Vulgate
¶óƾ¾î¼º°æ
vir cui dedit Deus divitias et substantiam et honorem et nihil deest animae eius ex omnibus quae desiderat nec tribuit ei potestatem Deus ut comedat ex eo sed homo extraneus vorabit illud hoc vanitas et magna miseria est
