我就看明上帝一切的作為，知道日光之下所常發生的事、人總不能查出；任憑人怎樣勞碌去尋查，就使他晝夜眼都沒見過睡覺，也查不出；就使智慧人心裏說、快要知道了，他還是不能查出。

我就看明神一切的作为，知道人查不出日光之下所做的事；任凭他费多少力寻查，都查不出来，就是智慧人虽想知道，也是查不出来。

我观看上帝一切的作为，知道人不能探求日光之下所发生的事；任凭他费多少力探索，都找不出来，智慧人虽说他明白，仍不能找出来。

思想上帝所做的一切，便知道人无法理解日光之下所发生的事。尽管人努力不懈地去寻找，也不能明白；即使智者自以为明白，他其实仍不能参透。

于是我看见了神的一切作为，知道在日光之下所发生的事，人不能查明；尽管人劳碌寻查，总是查不出来；即使智慧人以为知道了，还是查不出来。

我就看到神一切的作为：没有人能查找在日光之下所发生的事，即使人怎样劳苦地寻找，他也找不出来；即使智慧人说自己明白，他也不能找到。

我見上帝之經綸、知人不能測日下所為之事、雖勞而求之、終不能得、智者雖欲知之、亦不能得也、

亦見有人、欲觀上帝之經綸、竭其心思、而不能得、有智之士、雖欲知之、亦不及知。

我觀天主之經綸、知人不能明日下所有之事、雖勞以求之、亦不能得、即智者曰、我可知之、終亦不能得、

then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.

I saw everything God has done. No one can understand what happens on earth. People might try very hard to figure it out. But they still can’t discover what it all means. Wise people might claim they know. But they can’t really understand it either.

then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim.

I observed all the work of God and concluded that a person is unable to discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though a person labors hard to explore it, he cannot find it; even if a wise person claims to know it, he is unable to discover it.

and I saw every work of God, I concluded that one cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though a person laboriously seeks, he will not discover; and even if the wise person claims to know, he cannot discover.

then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

I observed all the work of God and concluded that man is unable to discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though a man labors hard to explore it, he cannot find it; even if the wise man claims to know it, he is unable to discover it.

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek[ it] out, yet he shall not find[ it]; yea further; though a wise[ man] think to know[ it], yet shall he not be able to find[ it].

then I discerned all that God has done: No one really comprehends what happens on earth. Despite all human efforts to discover it, no one can ever grasp it. Even if a wise person claimed that he understood, he would not really comprehend it.

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

上帝造萬物、按其定時都很美好；他也將善忘性安置於人心裏，以致上帝從始至終的作為、人都不能查出。

我直思索着要明白這事，看來實在為難；

極深哪！上帝智慧與知識之豐富啊！他的判斷、多麼不能探索啊！他的道路、多麼追蹤不盡啊！

就是那行大事、不可測度的，那行奇妙作為到不可勝數的。

這一切我都用智慧試驗過；我說：『我可有智慧了』；事實上還差得遠呢。現在的事實離我很遠，又很深，真深！誰能查得出呢？

你不曾知道，不曾看見麼？永恆的上帝永恆之主、創造地之儘邊的、他並不疲乏，也不困倦；他的明智不可測度。

你怎樣不知道風吹的路向如何，和骨頭在孕婦腹中怎樣長成，你也照樣不知道那行萬事的上帝之作為。

我沒有學習智慧，也不明白關於至聖者的知識。誰升過天、又降下來呢？誰聚風於手心？誰包水在衣裳裏？誰立定了地的四極？他名叫甚麼？他的兒子名叫甚麼？你知道麼？

永恆主我的上帝啊，你奇妙的作為、你行的許多大事、你向我們所懷的意念、沒有甚麼能跟你並列的。我要講述或說明，則多到不能數算。

永恆主啊，你所造的何其多呀！它們都是你用智慧造成的；大地滿了你所造之物。

『上帝之浩大莫測、你能查出麼？全能者之無極、你能查到麼？天之高——你能作甚麼？深於陰間——你能知道甚麼？其量度、比地長，比海寬。
