凡人名底下附加人名底線，如『亞當』、『夏娃』；凡地名附地名底線，如『伯拉河』、『耶路撒冷』等。

在中文版本中，原文無明指出的詞句，以小點加在底部，如創2：7句末『耶和華　神用地上的塵土造人、將生氣吹在他鼻孔裏、他就成了有靈的活人、名叫亞當。 』● 為一小段的結束。

Everything is Meaningless'

（ECC 1:1-11）

Eccl 1:1（KJV）The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Eccl 1:1（NIV）The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:

Eccl 1:2（KJV）Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Eccl 1:2（NIV）"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."

Eccl 1:3（KJV）What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

Eccl 1:3（NIV）What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?

Eccl 1:4（KJV）One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Eccl 1:4（NIV）Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.

Eccl 1:5（KJV）The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

Eccl 1:5（NIV）The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

Eccl 1:6（KJV）The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

Eccl 1:6（NIV）The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.

Eccl 1:7（KJV）All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Eccl 1:7（NIV）All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.

Eccl 1:8（KJV）All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

Eccl 1:8（NIV）All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

Eccl 1:9（KJV）The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Eccl 1:9（NIV）What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Eccl 1:10（KJV）Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Eccl 1:10（NIV）Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

Eccl 1:11（KJV）There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

Eccl 1:11（NIV）There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.

Wisom is Meaningless（ECC1:12-18）

Eccl 1:12（KJV）I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Eccl 1:12（NIV）I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Eccl 1:13（KJV）And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

Eccl 1:13（NIV）I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men!

Eccl 1:14（KJV）I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Eccl 1:14（NIV）I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Eccl 1:15（KJV）That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

Eccl 1:15（NIV）What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.

Eccl 1:16（KJV）I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

Eccl 1:16（NIV）I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge."

Eccl 1:17（KJV）And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

Eccl 1:17（NIV）Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

Eccl 1:18（KJV）For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Eccl 1:18（NIV）For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
