Targum Pengkhotbah 9:12: Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

כִּ֡י גַּם֩ לֹֽא־יֵדַ֨ע הָאָדָ֜ם אֶת־עִתּ֗וֹ כַּדָּגִים֙ שֶׁנֶּֽאֱחָזִים֙ בִּמְצוֹדָ֣ה רָעָ֔ה וְכַ֨צִּפֳּרִ֔ים הָאֲחֻז֖וֹת בַּפָּ֑ח כָּהֵ֗ם יֽוּקָשִׁים֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָֽאָדָ֔ם לְעֵ֣ת רָעָ֔ה כְּשֶׁתִּפּ֥וֹל עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם פִּתְאֹֽם׃

Sebab manusia pun tidak mengetahui waktunya; seperti ikan-ikan yang tertangkap dalam jaring yang mencelakakan, dan seperti burung-burung yang terjerat dalam perangkap, demikianlah anak-anak manusia terjerat pada waktu malapetaka, ketika malapetaka itu menimpa mereka dengan tiba-tiba.

Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

12. For even it is not made known to a man his time, whether good or bad what will be in the world and come upon him. Like fish of the sea which are captured in a net and like birds of heaven which are captured in a snare, like them people are snared in an evil time which falls on them in one moment from the sky.
