KJV ¹ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

VULC ¹ [Omnia tempus habent,
et suis spatiis transeunt universa sub cælo.

KJV ² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

VULC ² Tempus nascendi, et tempus moriendi ;
tempus plantandi, et tempus evellendi quod plantatum est.

KJV ³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

VULC ³ Tempus occidendi, et tempus sanandi ;
tempus destruendi, et tempus ædificandi.

KJV ⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

VULC ⁴ Tempus flendi, et tempus ridendi ;
tempus plangendi, et tempus saltandi.

KJV ⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

VULC ⁵ Tempus spargendi lapides, et tempus colligendi,
tempus amplexandi, et tempus longe fieri ab amplexibus.

KJV ⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

VULC ⁶ Tempus acquirendi, et tempus perdendi ;
tempus custodiendi, et tempus abjiciendi.

KJV ⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

VULC ⁷ Tempus scindendi, et tempus consuendi ;
tempus tacendi, et tempus loquendi.

KJV ⁸ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

VULC ⁸ Tempus dilectionis, et tempus odii ;
tempus belli, et tempus pacis.]

KJV ⁹ What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

VULC ⁹ [Quid habet amplius homo de labore suo ?

KJV ¹⁰ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

VULC ¹⁰ Vidi afflictionem quam dedit Deus filiis hominum,
ut distendantur in ea.

KJV ¹¹ He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

VULC 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.

KJV ¹² I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

VULC ¹² Et cognovi quod non esset melius nisi lætari,
et facere bene in vita sua ;

KJV ¹³ And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

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

KJV ¹⁴ I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

VULC ¹⁴ Didici quod omnia opera quæ fecit Deus perseverent in perpetuum ;
non possumus eis quidquam addere, nec auferre,
quæ fecit Deus ut timeatur.

KJV ¹⁵ That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

VULC ¹⁵ Quod factum est, ipsum permanet ;
quæ futura sunt jam fuerunt,
et Deus instaurat quod abiit.]

KJV ¹⁶ And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

VULC ¹⁶ [Vidi sub sole in loco judicii impietatem,
et in loco justitiæ iniquitatem :

KJV ¹⁷ I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

VULC ¹⁷ et dixi in corde meo :
Justum et impium judicabit Deus,
et tempus omnis rei tunc erit.

KJV ¹⁸ I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

VULC ¹⁸ Dixi in corde meo de filiis hominum,
ut probaret eos Deus,
et ostenderet similes esse bestiis.

KJV ¹⁹ For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

VULC ¹⁹ Idcirco unus interitus est hominis et jumentorum,
et æqua utriusque conditio.
Sicut moritur homo,
sic et illa moriuntur.
Similiter spirant omnia,
et nihil habet homo jumento amplius :
cuncta subjacent vanitati,

KJV ²⁰ All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

VULC ²⁰ et omnia pergunt ad unum locum.
De terra facta sunt,
et in terram pariter revertuntur.

KJV ²¹ Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

VULC ²¹ Quis novit si spiritus filiorum Adam ascendat sursum,
et si spiritus jumentorum descendat deorsum ?

KJV ²² Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

VULC ²² Et deprehendi nihil esse melius
quam lætari hominem in opere suo,
et hanc esse partem illius.
Quis enim eum adducet ut post se futura cognoscat ?]
