כִּ֤י לְאָדָם֙ שֶׁטּ֣וֹב לְפָנָ֔יו נָתַ֛ן חָכְמָ֥ה וְדַ֖עַת וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה וְלַחוֹטֶא֩ נָתַ֨ן עִנְיָ֜ן לֶאֱס֣וֹף וְלִכְנ֗וֹס לָתֵת֙ לְטוֹב֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים גַּם־זֶ֥ה הֶ֖בֶל וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃
Sebab kepada orang yang baik di hadapan-Nya, Ia memberikan hikmat, pengetahuan, dan sukacita; tetapi kepada orang berdosa Ia memberikan kesibukan untuk mengumpulkan dan menimbun, supaya hasilnya diberikan kepada orang yang baik di hadapan Allah. Ini pun kesia-siaan dan usaha menjaring angin.
Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes
For to the man whose works are straight before God, he gave wisdom and knowledge in this world, and joy with the righteous in the world to come; and to the wicked he gave all evil employment, to gather money and to heap up much wealth, to be taken away from him, and to be given to him who pleases the Lord; this, too, is vanity for the wicked, and breaking of spirit.
