YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Cast
your
bread upon
the waters, for after
many
days you
will
find it again
.
Send
forth
thy
bread on
the face
of
the
waters, For in
the
multitude
of
the
days thou
dost
find it.
Divide
your
portion among
seven, or
even eight, for you
do
not know
what disaster
may
befall
the land
.
Give
a
portion to
seven, and
even to
eight, For thou
knowest
not what evil
is
on
the earth
.
If the clouds are full ,
they
will
pour
out
rain upon
the earth; whether
a tree falls
to
the south or to the north, in
the place where it
falls
, there it will
lie
.
If the thick
clouds are full of
rain ,
On
the earth they
empty
`themselves'
; And
if
a tree doth
fall
in
the south or to the north, The place where the
tree
falleth
, there it is
.
He
who
watches
the wind will
fail
to
sow
, and he
who
observes
the clouds will
fail
to
reap
.
Whoso
is
observing
the wind soweth
not
, And whoso
is
looking
on
the thick
clouds reapeth
not
.
As you
do
not know
the path
of the wind
, or
how the
bones are
formed
in a
mother’s
womb, so you
cannot
understand
the work of God ,
the Maker
of
all
things
.
As thou
knowest
not what
`is'
the way
of the spirit
, How --
bones in the
womb of
the
full
one
, So thou
knowest
not
the work of God who
maketh
the whole
.
Sow
your
seed
in the morning, and do
not rest
your
hands
in
the
evening
, for you
do
not know
which will
succeed
, whether
this or that, or if
both will
equally
prosper
.
In the morning sow
thy
seed
, And at
even
withdraw
not thy
hand
, For thou
knowest
not which is
right
, this or that, Or whether
both of
them
alike
`are'
good
.
Light
is
sweet, and it
pleases
the eyes to see the sun.
Sweet also
`is'
the
light
, And good
for
the eyes to see the sun.
So
if a
man lives
many years, let
him
rejoice
in them
all .
But
let him remember the days of darkness, for they will
be
many .
Everything
to
come
is futile
.
But,
if man liveth
many years, In all of
them
let him rejoice,
And
remember the days of darkness, For they are
many !
all
that
is coming
`is'
vanity
.
Rejoice, O young man, while
you
are
young
, and let your
heart be
glad
in the
days of your
youth .
Walk in the ways of your
heart and in the sight of your
eyes, but
know that for all these things
God will
bring you
to
judgment.
Rejoice, O young man, in
thy
childhood
, And let thy
heart gladden
thee
in days of thy
youth ,
And
walk in the ways of thy
heart ,
And in the sight of thine
eyes, And
know thou
that for all these ,
Doth
God bring thee
into
judgment.
So
banish
sorrow
from your
heart, and cast
off
pain
from your
body
, for youth
and vigor
are fleeting.
And
turn
aside
anger
from thy
heart, And cause
evil
to
pass
from thy
flesh
, For the
childhood
and the
age
`
are '
vanity!
