我心裏說，上帝必審判義人和惡人；因為在那裏，各樣事務，一切工作，都有定時。
3:18

ወሎሙኒ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ ለውሉደ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ወድድቅ ፡ ለእንስሳ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሞት ፡ ዝ ፡ ከማሁ ፡ ሞቱ ፡ ለዝ ፡ ወአሐዱ ፡ መንፈስ ፡ ለኵሎሙ ፡ ምንት ፡ ፍድፋዴሁ ፡ ለሰብእ ፡ እም ፡ እንስሳ ፡ ወኢምንትኒ ፡ እስመ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ከንቱ ።
For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.
因為世人遭遇的，獸也遭遇，所遭遇的都是一樣：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死，氣息都是一樣。人不能強於獸，都是虛空。
3:20
ኵሉ ፡ የሐውር ፡ ውስተ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ መካን ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ኮነ ፡ እመሬት ፡ ወኵሉ ፡ ይገብእ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መሬት ።
All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
都歸一處，都是出於塵土，也都歸於塵土。
3:21
መኑ ፡ የአምር ፡ መንፈሰ ፡ ውሉደ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ከመ ፡ የዐርግ ፡ ላዕለ ፡ ወመንፈሰ ፡ እንስሳ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይወርድ ፡ ታሕተ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምድር ።
Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?”
誰知道人的靈是往上升，獸的魂是下入地呢？
3:22
ወርኢኩ ፡ ከመ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ሠናይ ፡ ዘእንበለ ፡ ዘተፈሥሐ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ በተግባሩ ፡ እስመ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ መክፈልቱ ፡ ወመኑ ፡ ያመጽኦ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይርአይ ፡ ዘይከውን ፡ እምድኅሬሁ ።
Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what will be after him?
故此，我見人莫強如在他經營的事上喜樂，因為這是他的分。他身後的事誰能使他回來得見呢？
