אֵֽין־ט֤וֹב בָּאָדָם֙ שֶׁיֹּאכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֔ה וְהֶרְאָ֧ה אֶת־נַפְשׁ֛וֹ ט֖וֹב בַּעֲמָל֑וֹ גַּם־זֹה֙ רָאִ֣יתִי אָ֔נִי כִּ֛י מִיַּ֥ד הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים הִֽיא׃
Czyż nie najlepszem dla człowieka, aby jadł i pił i dogadzał duszy swojej, za pracę swoję: ale i to, jakem to zauważył, z ręki Bożej pochodzi.
Ecclesiastes
And all that my eyes sought, I did not keep back from them. I did not withhold my heart from any joy. For my heart rejoiced in all my toil. And this [(according to one view, his staff; according to another, his cup)] was my portion from all my toil.
Jeremiah
Contre lui des lionceaux rugissent, poussent leurs cris; ils réduisent son pays en solitude, ses villes en cendres n’ont plus d’habitants.
Ecclesiastes
I know [now, since the time of death is hidden,] that there is nothing better for them than for (each one) to rejoice [in his lot] and to do what is good [in the eyes of the L-rd] in his lifetime.
