Douay-Rheims
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless solicitude of the mind.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Louis Second
ºÒ¾î¼º°æ
Car il donne à l'homme qui lui est agréable la sagesse, la science et la joie; mais il donne au pécheur le soin de recueillir et d'amasser, afin de donner à celui qui est agréable à Dieu. C'est encore là une vanité et la poursuite du vent
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Denn dem Menschen, der ihm gefällt, gibt er Weisheit, Vernunft und Freude; aber dem Sünder gibt er Unglück, daß er sammle und häufe und doch dem gegeben werde, der GOtt gefällt. Darum ist das auch eitel Jammer.
Vulgate
¶óƾ¾î¼º°æ
homini bono in conspectu suo dedit Deus sapientiam et scientiam et laetitiam peccatori autem dedit adflictionem et curam superfluam ut addat et congreget et tradat ei qui placuit Deo sed et hoc vanitas et cassa sollicitudo mentis
