Ecclesiastes 3

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 omnia tempus habent et suis spatiis transeunt universa sub caelo

2 tempus nascendi et tempus moriendi tempus plantandi et tempus evellendi quod plantatum est

3 tempus occidendi et tempus sanandi tempus destruendi et tempus aedificandi

4 tempus flendi et tempus ridendi tempus plangendi et tempus saltandi

5 tempus spargendi lapides et tempus colligendi tempus amplexandi et tempus longe fieri a conplexibus

6 tempus adquirendi et tempus perdendi tempus custodiendi et tempus abiciendi

7 tempus scindendi et tempus consuendi tempus tacendi et tempus loquendi

8 tempus dilectionis et tempus odii tempus belli et tempus pacis

9 quid habet amplius homo de labore suo

10 vidi adflictionem quam dedit Deus filiis hominum ut distendantur in ea

11 cuncta fecit bona in tempore suo et mundum tradidit disputationi eorum ut non inveniat homo opus quod operatus est Deus ab initio usque ad finem

12 et cognovi quod non esset melius nisi laetari et facere bene in vita sua

13 omnis enim homo qui comedit et bibit et videt bonum de labore suo hoc donum Dei est

14 didici quod omnia opera quae fecit Deus perseverent in perpetuum non possumus eis quicquam addere nec auferre quae fecit Deus ut timeatur

15 quod factum est ipsum permanet quae futura sunt iam fuerunt et Deus instaurat quod abiit

16 vidi sub sole in loco iudicii impietatem et in loco iustitiae iniquitatem

17 et dixi in corde meo iustum et impium iudicabit Deus et tempus omni rei tunc erit

18 dixi in corde meo de filiis hominum ut probaret eos Deus et ostenderet similes esse bestiis

19 idcirco unus interitus est hominis et iumentorum et aequa utriusque condicio sicut moritur homo sic et illa moriuntur similiter spirant omnia et nihil habet homo iumento amplius cuncta subiacent vanitati

20 et omnia pergunt ad unum locum de terra facta sunt et in terram pariter revertentur

21 quis novit si spiritus filiorum Adam ascendat sursum et si spiritus iumentorum descendat deorsum

22 et deprehendi nihil esse melius quam laetari hominem in opere suo et hanc esse partem illius quis enim eum adducet ut post se futura cognoscat

New Century Version NCV

1 There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season.

2 There is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to plant and a time to pull up plants.

3 There is a time to kill and a time to heal. There is a time to destroy and a time to build.

4 There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad and a time to dance.

5 There is a time to throw away stones and a time to gather them. There is a time to hug and a time not to hug.

6 There is a time to look for something and a time to stop looking for it. There is a time to keep things and a time to throw things away.

7 There is a time to tear apart and a time to sew together. There is a time to be silent and a time to speak.

8 There is a time to love and a time to hate. There is a time for war and a time for peace.

9 Do people really gain anything from their work?

10 I saw the hard work God has given people to do.

11 God has given them a desire to know the future. He does everything just right and on time, but people can never completely understand what he is doing.

12 So I realize that the best thing for them is to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.

13 God wants all people to eat and drink and be happy in their work, which are gifts from God.

14 I know that everything God does will continue forever. People cannot add anything to what God has done, and they cannot take anything away from it. God does it this way to make people respect him.

15 What happens now has happened in the past, and what will happen in the future has happened before. God makes the same things happen again and again.

16 I also saw this here on earth: Where there should have been justice, there was evil; where there should have been right, there was wrong.

17 I said to myself, God has planned a time for every thing and every action, so he will judge both good people and bad.

18 I decided that God leaves it the way it is to test people and to show them they are just like animals.

19 The same thing happens to animals and to people; they both have the same breath, so they both die. People are no better off than the animals, because everything is useless.

20 Both end up the same way; both came from dust and both will go back to dust.

21 Who can be sure that the human spirit goes up to God and that the spirit of an animal goes down into the ground?

22 So I saw that the best thing people can do is to enjoy their work, because that is all they have. No one can help another person see what will happen in the future.
