VC Versão Católica

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 Eu disse comigo mesmo: Vamos, tentemos a alegria e gozemos o prazer. Mas isso é também vaidade.

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 Do riso eu disse: Loucura! e da alegria: Para que serve?

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 Resolvi entregar minha carne ao vinho, enquanto meu espírito se aplicaria ainda à sabedoria; procurar a loucura até que eu visse o que é bom para os filhos dos homens fazerem durante toda a sua vida debaixo dos céus.

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

⁴ Empreendi grandes trabalhos, construí para mim casas e plantei vinhas;

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

⁵ fiz jardins e pomares, onde plantei árvores frutíferas de toda espécie;

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 cavei reservatórios de água para regar o bosque. Comprei escravos e escravas; e possuí outros nascidos em casa.

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 Possuí muito gado, bois e ovelhas, mais que todos os que me precederam 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 Amontoei prata e ouro, riquezas de reis e de províncias. Procurei cantores e cantoras, e que faz as delícias dos filhos dos homens: mulheres e mulheres.

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 Fui maior que todos os que me precederam em Jerusalém; e, ainda assim, minha sabedoria permaneceu comigo.

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 Tudo que meus olhos desejaram, não lhes recusei; não privei meu coração de nenhuma alegria. Meu coração encontrava sua alegria no meu trabalho; este é o fruto que dele tirei.

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 Mas, quando me pus a considerar todas as obras de minhas mãos e o trabalho ao qual me tinha dado para fazê-las, eis: tudo é vaidade e vento que passa; não há nada de proveitoso 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 Passei então à meditação da sabedoria, da loucura e da tolice. {Qual é o homem, designado desde muito tempo, que virá depois do rei?}

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

¹³ Cheguei à conclusão de que a sabedoria leva vantagem sobre a loucura, como a luz leva vantagem sobre 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 Os olhos do sábio estão na cabeça, mas o insensato anda nas trevas. Mas eu notei que um mesmo destino espera a ambos,

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 e disse comigo mesmo: A minha sorte será a mesma que a do insensato. Então para que me serve toda a minha sabedoria? Por isso disse eu comigo mesmo, que tudo isso é ainda vaidade.

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

¹⁶ Porque a memória do sábio não é mais eterna que a do insensato, pois que, passados alguns dias, ambos serão esquecidos. Mas então? Tanto morre o sábio como morre o louco!

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 E eu detestei a vida, porque, a meus olhos, tudo é mau no que se passa debaixo do sol, tudo é vaidade e vento que passa.

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 Também se tornou odioso para mim todo o trabalho que produzi debaixo do sol, porque devo deixá-lo àquele que virá depois de mim.

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 sabe se ele será sábio ou insensato? Contudo, é ele que disporá de todo o fruto dos meus trabalhos que debaixo do sol em custaram trabalho e sabedoria. Também isso é vaidade.

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 E eu senti o coração cheio de desgosto por todo o labor que suportei 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 Que um homem trabalhe com sabedoria, ciência e bom êxito para deixar o fruto de seu labor a outro que em nada colaborou, note-se bem, é uma vaidade e uma grande desgraça.

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 Com efeito, que resta ao homem de todo o seu labor, de todas as suas azáfamas a que se entregou 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 Todos os seus dias são apenas dores, seu trabalhos apenas tristezas; mesmo durante a noite ele não goza de descanso. Isto é ainda vaidade.

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 Não há nada melhor para o homem que comer, beber e gozar o bem-estar no seu trabalho. Mas eu notei que também isso 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 pois, quem come e bebe, senão graças a ele?

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 Àquele que lhe é agradável Deus dá sabedoria, ciência e alegria; mas ao pecador ele dá a tarefa de recolher e acumular bens, que depois passará a quem lhe agradar. Isto é ainda vaidade e vento que passa.
