For everything there is a fixed time, and a time for every business under the sun.
A time for birth and a time for death; a time for planting and a time for uprooting;
A time to put to death and a time to make well; a time for pulling down and a time for building up;
A time for weeping and a time for laughing; a time for sorrow and a time for dancing;
A time to take stones away and a time to get stones together; a time for kissing and a time to keep from kissing;
A time for search and a time for loss; a time to keep and a time to give away;
A time for undoing and a time for stitching; a time for keeping quiet and a time for talk;
A time for love and a time for hate; a time for war and a time for peace.
What profit has the worker in the work which he does?
I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man.
He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.

凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。

生有时，死有时。栽种有时，拔出所栽种的，也有时。

杀戮有时，医治有时。拆毁有时，建造有时。

哭有时，笑有时。哀恸有时，跳舞有时。

抛掷石头有时，堆聚石头有时。怀抱有时，不怀抱有时。

寻找有时，失落有时。保守有时，舍弃有时。

撕裂有时，缝补有时。静默有时，言语有时。

喜爱有时，恨恶有时。争战有时，和好有时。

这样看来，作事的人在他的劳碌上有什么益处呢？

我见神叫世人劳苦，使他们在其中受经练。

神造万物，各按其时成为美好。又将永生安置在世人心里。然而神从始至终的作为，人不能参透。
