NVI Nova Versão Internacional

¹ Therefore I said in mine heart, I shall go, and I shall flow in delights, and I shall use goods; and I saw also that this was vanity. (And so I said in my heart, I shall go, and I shall enjoy all delights, and I shall enjoy all good things; and I saw that this was also empty and futile.)

¹ Pensei comigo mesmo: Vamos. Vou experimentar a alegria. Descubra as coisas boas da vida! Mas isso também se revelou inútil.

² And laughing I areckoned error, and I said to joy, What art thou, deceived in vain? (And I reckoned laughter as but error, and I said to joy, Of what value art thou?)

² Concluí que o rir é loucura, e a alegria de nada vale.

³ I thought in mine heart to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I should lead over my soul to wisdom, and that I would eschew folly, till I should see, what were profitable to the sons of men; in which deed the number of days of their life under the sun is needful. (I thought in my heart to withdraw my flesh from wine, so that I could lead over my soul unto wisdom, and so that I would eschew foolishness, until I could see, what was profitable to the sons and daughters of men; yea, which deeds, \+em or works\+em*, be useful, \+em or meaningful\+em*, all the days of their lives under the sun.)

³ Decidi-me entregar ao vinho e à extravagância; mantendo, porém, a mente orientada pela sabedoria. Eu queria saber o que valesse a pena, debaixo do céu, nos poucos dias da vida humana.

⁴ I magnified, either made great, my works, I builded houses to me (or I built houses for myself), and I planted vines;

⁴ Lancei-me a grandes projetos: construí casas e plantei vinhas para mim.

⁵ I made yards and orchards, and I set those with trees of all kind(s);

⁵ Fiz jardins e pomares, e neles plantei todo tipo de árvore frutífera.

⁶ and I made cisterns of waters, for to water the wood of [the] trees growing. (and I made water cisterns, to water the trees growing in the woods, \+em or in the groves\+em*.)

⁶ Construí também reservatórios para regar os meus bosques verdejantes.

⁷ I had in possession servants and handmaids; and I had much household, and droves of great beasts, and great flocks of sheep, over all men that were before me in Jerusalem. (I had in possession servants and servantesses or male and female slaves; and I had many slaves born in my house, and herds of great beasts, and great flocks of sheep, yea, more than all those who came before me in Jerusalem.)

⁷ Comprei escravos e escravas e tive escravos que nasceram em minha casa. Além disso tive também mais bois e ovelhas do que todos os que viveram antes de mim em Jerusalém.

⁸ I gathered together to me silver and gold, and the castles of kings and of provinces; I made to me singers and singeresses, and [the] delights of the sons of men, and cups and vessels in service, to pour out wines; (I gathered together for myself silver and gold, from the castles of kings and out of the provinces; I got singers and singeresses for myself, and \+em enjoyed\+em* all the delights of the sons and daughters of men, yea, with cups and vessels for service, to pour the wine into;)

⁸ Ajuntei para mim prata e ouro, tesouros de reis e de províncias. Servi-me de cantores e cantoras, e também de um harém, as delícias do homem.

⁹ and I passed in riches all men that were before me in Jerusalem. Also wisdom dwelled stably with me, (and I surpassed in wealth all those who came before me in Jerusalem. And wisdom dwelled steadfastly with me,)

⁹ Tornei-me mais famoso e poderoso do que todos os que viveram em Jerusalém antes de mim, conservando comigo a minha sabedoria.

¹⁰ and all things which mine eyes desired, I denied not to them; neither I refrained mine heart, that not it used all lust, and delighted itself in these things which I had made ready; and I deemed this my part, if I used my travail. (and anything which my eyes desired, I did not deny them; nor did I refrain my heart from anything it desired, and it delighted itself in those things which I had prepared for it; and I judged this my portion, for all my labour.)

¹⁰ Não me neguei nada que os meus olhos desejaram; não me recusei a dar prazer algum ao meu coração. Na verdade, eu me alegrei em todo o meu trabalho; essa foi a recompensa de todo o meu esforço.

¹¹ And when I had turned me to all the works which mine hands had made, and to the travails in which I had sweated (over) in vain, I saw in all things vanity and torment of soul, and that nothing under [the] sun dwelleth. (And when I turned and looked upon all the works which my hands had made, and upon the labour which I had sweated over, I saw that everything was empty and futile, like chasing the wind, and that nothing remained stable, \+em or unchanging\+em*, under the sun.)

¹¹ Contudo, quando avaliei tudo o que as minhas mãos haviam feito e o trabalho que eu tanto me esforçara para realizar, percebi que tudo foi inútil, foi correr atrás do vento; não há qualquer proveito no que se faz debaixo do sol.

¹² I passed forth to behold wisdom, and errors, and folly; I said, What is a man, that he may follow the king, his maker? (or \+em I said\+em*, What new thing can even he who followeth the king do?)

¹² Então passei a refletir na sabedoria, na loucura e na insensatez. O que pode fazer o sucessor do rei a não ser repetir o que já foi feito?

¹³ And I saw, that wisdom went so much before folly, as much as light is diverse from darknesses.

¹³ Percebi que a sabedoria é melhor que a insensatez, assim como a luz é melhor do que as trevas.

¹⁴ The eyes of a wise man be in his head, (and) a fool goeth in darknesses; and I learned, that one perishing was of ever either. (The eyes of a wise person \+em be\+em* in his head, and a fool goeth in the darkness; but I learned, that the same perishing, \+em or the same death\+em*, would come to both of them.)

¹⁴ O homem sábio tem olhos que enxergam, mas o tolo anda nas trevas; todavia, percebi que ambos têm o mesmo destino.

¹⁵ And I said in mine heart, If one death shall be both of the fool and of me, what profiteth it to me, that I gave more busyness to wisdom? And I spake with my soul, and perceived, that this also was vanity. (And I said in my heart, If one death shall be for both the fool and for me, what profiteth it to me, that I gave more busyness, \+em or more effort and study\+em*, to wisdom? And I spoke with myself, and understood, that this was also empty and futile.)

¹⁵ Então pensei comigo mesmo: O que acontece ao tolo também me acontecerá. Que proveito eu tive em ser sábio? Então eu disse no meu íntimo: Isso não faz o menor sentido!

¹⁶ For the mind of a wise man shall not be, (and) in like manner as neither (that) of

¹⁶ Nem o sábio, nem o tolo, serão lembrados para sempre; nos dias futuros ambos serão esquecidos. Como pode o sábio morrer como morre o tolo?

¹⁷ And therefore it annoyed me of my life, seeing that all things under [the] sun be evil, and that all things be vanity and torment of the spirit. (And so it vexed me to live, seeing that all things under the sun be troublesome, and that everything \+em is\+em* empty and futile, like chasing the wind.)

¹⁷ Por isso desprezei a vida, pois o trabalho que se faz debaixo do sol pareceu-me muito pesado. Tudo era inútil, era correr atrás do vento.

¹⁸ Again I cursed all my busyness, by which I travailed most studiously under [the] sun; and I shall have an heir after me,

¹⁸ Desprezei todas as coisas pelas quais eu tanto me esforçara debaixo do sol, pois terei que deixá-las para aquele que me suceder.

¹⁹ whom I know not, whether he shall be wise either a fool; and he shall be lord in my travails, for which I sweated greatly, and was busy; and is there anything so vain? (whom I know not, whether he shall be wise or a fool; but he shall be the lord of all my works, for which I was so busy, and greatly sweated over; is there anything so empty and futile as this?)

¹⁹ E quem pode dizer se ele será sábio ou tolo? Contudo, terá domínio sobre tudo o que realizei com o meu trabalho e com a minha sabedoria debaixo do sol. Isso também não faz sentido.

²⁰ Wherefore I ceased, and mine heart forsook for to travail further under [the] sun. (And so I ceased to study, and my heart did not desire to labour any more under the sun.)

²⁰ Cheguei ao ponto de me desesperar por causa de todo o trabalho em que tanto me esforcei debaixo do sol.

²¹ For why when another man travaileth in wisdom, and teaching, and busyness, he leaveth things gotten to an idle man; and therefore this is vanity, and great evil. (For though a person laboureth over something with wisdom, and knowledge, and diligence, he must leave all that he hath gotten to someone else, who did not labour over it; and so this \+em is\+em* empty and futile, and a great evil.)

²¹ Pois um homem pode realizar o seu trabalho com sabedoria, conhecimento e habilidade, mas terá que deixar tudo o que possui como herança para alguém que não se esforçou por aquilo. Isso também é um absurdo e uma grande injustiça.

²² For why what shall it profit to a man of all his travail, and torment of spirit, with which he was tormented under [the] sun? (For what shall it profit a person for all his labour, and trials and tribulations, with which he was tormented under the sun?)

²² Que proveito tem um homem de todo o esforço e de toda a ansiedade com que trabalha debaixo do sol?

²³ All his days be full of sorrows and mischiefs, and by night he resteth not in soul; and whether this is not vanity? (All his days be full of sorrows and mischiefs, and at night his soul resteth not; and is not this all empty and futile?)

²³ Durante toda a sua vida, seu trabalho não passa de dor e tristeza; mesmo à noite a sua mente não descansa. Isso também é absurdo.

²⁴ Whether it is not better to eat and drink, and to show to his soul [the] goods of his travails? and this thing is of the hand of God. (Is it not better for a person to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good things from all his labour? and this \+em is\+em* also from the hand of God.)

²⁴ Para o homem não existe nada melhor do que comer, beber e encontrar prazer em seu trabalho. E vi que isso também vem da mão de Deus.

²⁵ Who shall devour so, and shall flow in (such) delights, as I have? (Who shall ever devour such \+em food\+em*, and shall flow in, \+em or shall enjoy\+em*, such delights, as I \+em have\+em*?)

²⁵ E quem aproveitou melhor as comidas e os prazeres do que eu?

²⁶ God gave wisdom, and knowing, and gladness to a good man in his sight; but he gave torment, and superfluous busyness to a sinner, that he increase, and gather together, and give to him that pleaseth God; but also this is vanity, and vain busyness of soul. (God gave wisdom, and knowledge, and happiness to those who be good before him; but he gave torment, and superfluous busyness to the sinner, so that first he increase, and gather together, but then he must give it all to him who pleaseth God; but this is also empty and futile, like chasing the wind.)

²⁶ Ao homem que o agrada, Deus recompensa com sabedoria, conhecimento e felicidade. Quanto ao pecador, Deus o encarrega de ajuntar e armazenar riquezas para entregá-las a quem o agrada. Isso também é inútil, é correr atrás do vento.
