Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

7:1

πότερον οὐχὶ πειρατήριόν ἐστιν ὁ βίος ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὥσπερ μισθίου αὐθημερινοῦ ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ

Is not the life of man on the earth a trial, and his days like those of a hired laborer paid by the day?

人在地上的生涯豈不是一場試煉嗎？他的一生豈不像按日計酬的雇工嗎？

7:2

ἢ ὥσπερ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ τετευχὼς σκιᾶς ἢ ὥσπερ μισθωτὸς ἀναμένων τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ

Or like a servant who fears his master and has obtained a bit of shade, or like a hireling waiting for his wages.

或像僕人懼怕他的主人，得著一點蔭涼；或像雇工等候自己的工價。

7:3

οὕτως κἀγὼ ὑπέμεινα μῆνας κενούς νύκτες δὲ ὀδυνῶν δεδομέναι μοί εἰσιν

So I too have endured empty months, and nights of pains have been assigned to me.

我也照樣熬過虛空的月份，痛苦的夜晚都分派給了我。

7:4

ἐὰν κοιμηθῶ λέγω πότε ἡμέρα ὡς δ’ ἂν ἀναστῶ πάλιν πότε ἑσπέρα πλήρης δὲ γίνομαι ὀδυνῶν ἀπὸ ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωί

When I lie down I say, 'When will it be day?' and when I rise, again, 'When will it be evening?' And I become full of pains from evening until morning.

我躺下時就說：天幾時亮呢？我起來後又說：黃昏幾時到呢？從晚上到早晨，我滿是疼痛。

7:5

φύρεται δέ μου τὸ σῶμα ἐν σαπρίᾳ σκωλήκων τήκω δὲ βώλακας γῆς ἀπὸ ἰχῶρος ξύων

My body is fouled in the rottenness of worms, and I soften clods of earth as I scrape off the discharge.

我的身體混雜在蟲子的腐臭中；我刮去膿水，把泥土塊都弄濕了。

7:6

ὁ δὲ βίος μού ἐστιν ἐλαφρότερος λαλιᾶς ἀπόλωλεν δὲ ἐν κενῇ ἐλπίδι

My life is lighter than speech, and it has perished in empty hope.

我的生命比言語更輕，在虛空的指望中消逝了。

7:7

μνήσθητι οὖν ὅτι πνεῦμά μου ἡ ζωὴ καὶ οὐκέτι ἐπανελεύσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἰδεῖν ἀγαθόν

Remember, then, that my life is a breath, and my eye will not return again to see good.

求你記念，我的生命不過是一口氣；我的眼必不再回來看見美好。

7:8

οὐ περιβλέψεταί με ὀφθαλμὸς ὁρῶντός με οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἐν ἐμοί καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ

The eye of him who sees me will not look around at me; your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

那看見我的眼必不再看我；你的眼目注視我，我卻不再存在。

7:9

ὥσπερ νέφος ἀποκαθαρθὲν ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ ἐὰν γὰρ ἄνθρωπος καταβῇ εἰς ᾅδην οὐκέτι μὴ ἀναβῇ

Like a cloud cleared away from the sky; for if a man goes down to Hades, he shall not come up again,

如同雲彩從天上消散淨盡；人若下到陰間，就不再上來。
