1 너는 하나님의 殿(전)에 들어갈 때에 네 발을 삼갈찌어다 가까이 하여 말씀을 듣는 것이 愚昧者(우매자)의 祭祀(제사) 드리는 것보다 나으니 저희는 惡(악)을 行(행)하면서도 깨닫지 못함이니라

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 너는 하나님 앞에서 함부로 입을 열지 말며 急(급)한 마음으로 말을 내지 말라 하나님은 하늘에 계시고 너는 땅에 있음이니라 그런즉 마땅히 말을 적게 할 것이라
마6:7

Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 일이 많으면 꿈이 생기고 말이 많으면 愚昧者(우매자)의 소리가 나타나느니라

As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.

For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

4 네가 하나님께 誓願(서원)하였거든 갚기를 더디게 말라 하나님은 愚昧者(우매자)를 기뻐하지 아니하시나니 誓願(서원)한 것을 갚으라

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 誓願(서원)하고 갚지 아니하는 것보다 誓願(서원)하지 아니하는 것이 나으니

It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 네 입으로 네 肉體(육체)를 犯罪(범죄)케 말라 1)使者(사자) 앞에서 내가 誓願(서원)한 것이 失手(실수)라고 말하지 말라 어찌 하나님으로말소리를 震怒(진노)하사 네 손으로 한 것을 滅(멸)하시게 하랴
말2:7 전10:5 레4:2 민15:25,26     1) 말2:7을 보라

Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 꿈이 많으면 헛된 것이 많고 말이 많아도 그러하니 오직 너는 하나님을 敬畏(경외)할찌니라

Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God.

For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

8 너는 어느 道(도)에서든지 貧民(빈민)을 虐待(학대)하는 것과 公義(공의)를 撲滅(박멸)하는 것을 볼찌라도 그것을 異常(이상)히 여기지 말라 높은 者(자)보다 더 높은 者(자)가 監察(감찰)하고 그들보다 더 높은 者(자)들이 있음이니라

If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still.

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 땅의 利益(이익)은 뭇 사람을 爲(위)하여 있나니 王(왕)도 밭의 所産(소산)을 받느니라

The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 ● 銀(은)을 사랑하는 者(자)는 銀(은)으로 滿足(만족)함이 없고 豊富(풍부)를 사랑하는 者(자)는 所得(소득)으로 滿足(만족)함이 없나니 이것도 헛되도다

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

11 財産(재산)이 더하면 먹는 者(자)도 더하나니 그 所有主(소유주)가 눈으로 보는 外(외)에 무엇이 有益(유익)하랴

As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owner except to feast his eyes on them?

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

12 勞動者(노동자)는 먹는 것이 많든지 적든지 잠을 달게 자거니와 富者(부자)는 배부름으로 자지 못하느니라

The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich man permits him no sleep.

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

13 ● 내가 해 아래서 큰 弊端(폐단)되는 것을 보았나니 곧 所有主(소유주)가 財物(재물)을 自己(자기)에게 害(해) 되도록 지키는 것이라
전6:1

I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

14 그 財物(재물)이 災難(재난)을 因(인)하여 敗(패)하나니 비록 아들은 낳았으나 그 손에 아무 것도 없느니라

or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when he has a son there is nothing left for him.

But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

15 저가 母胎(모태)에서 벌거벗고 나왔은즉 그 나온 대로 돌아가고 受苦(수고)하여 얻은 것을 아무 것도 손에 가지고 가지 못하리니

Naked a man comes from his mother's womb, and as he comes, so he departs. He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand.

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

16 이것도 弊端(폐단)이라 어떻게 왔든지 그대로 가리니 바람을 잡으려는 受苦(수고)가 저에게 무엇이 有益(유익)하랴

This too is a grievous evil: As a man comes, so he departs, and what does he gain, since he toils for the wind?

And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?

17 一平生(일평생)을 어두운 데서 먹으며 煩惱(번뇌)와 病(병)과 忿怒(분노)가 저에게 있느니라

All his days he eats in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.

All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

18 ● 사람이 하나님의 주신 바 그 一平生(일평생)에 먹고 마시며 해 아래서 受苦(수고)하는 모든 受苦(수고) 中(중)에서 樂(낙)을 누리는 것이 善(선)하고 아름다움을 내가 보았나니 이것이 그의 分福(분복)이로다

Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him--for this is his lot.

Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

19 어떤 사람에게든지 하나님이 財物(재물)과 富饒(부요)를 주사 能(능)히 누리게 하시며 分福(분복)을 받아 受苦(수고)함으로 즐거워하게 하신 것은 하나님의 膳物(선물)이라

Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work--this is a gift of God.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

20 저는 그 生命(생명)의 날을 깊이 觀念(관념)치 아니하리니 이는 하나님이 저의 마음의 기뻐하는 것으로 應(응)하심이라

He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
