Ecclesiastes 5:10-15

Em outras traduções

1. KJV King James Version

   10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? 12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

2. NIV New International Version

   10 Whoever loves money never has enough;

   whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.

   This too is meaningless.

   11 As goods increase,

   so do those who consume them.

   And what benefit are they to the owners

   except to feast their eyes on them?

   12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,

   whether they eat little or much,

   but as for the rich, their abundance

   permits them no sleep.

   13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:

   wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,

   14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,

   so that when they have children

   there is nothing left for them to inherit.

   15 Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,

   and as everyone comes, so they depart.

   They take nothing from their toil

   that they can carry in their hands.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. 11 When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? 12 Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.

   13 *ch. 6:1There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, 14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand. 15 *See Job 1:21As he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand.

4. NLT New Living Translation

   10 Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! 11 The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!

   12 People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.

   13 There is another serious problem I have seen under the sun. Hoarding riches harms the saver. 14 Money is put into risky investments that turn sour, and everything is lost. In the end, there is nothing left to pass on to one’s children. 15 We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us.

5. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   10 One who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor one who loves abundance with its income. This too is futility. 11 When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to *5:11 Lit see with their eyeslook at them?12 The sleep of the laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the *5:12 Lit satietyfull stomach of the rich person does not allow him to sleep.

   13 There is a sickening evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth being *5:13 Lit guardedhoarded by its owner to his detriment. 14 When that wealth was lost through bad business and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing *5:14 Lit in his handto support him. 15 As he came naked from his mother’s womb, so he will return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.

6. CSB Christian Standard Bible

   10 The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile. 11 When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes? 12 The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.

   13 There is a sickening tragedy I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.  * 5:13 Ec 6:1–214 That wealth was lost in a bad venture, so when he fathered a son, he was empty-handed. 15 As he came from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came;  * 5:15 Jb 1:21 he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands.

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   10 Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes? 11 Sleep is sweet to a labouring man, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 12 There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner. 13 For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want. 14 As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and shall take nothing away with him of his labour. 15 A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?

8. MSG The Message

   10 The one who loves money is never satisfied with money,

   Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.

   11 The more loot you get, the more looters show up.

   And what fun is that—to be robbed in broad daylight?

   12 Hard and honest work earns a good night’s sleep,

   Whether supper is beans or steak.

   But a rich man’s belly gives him insomnia.

   13-17 Here’s a piece of bad luck I’ve seen happen:

   A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him

   And then loses it all in a bad business deal.

   He fathered a child but hasn’t a cent left to give him.

   He arrived naked from the womb of his mother;

   He’ll leave in the same condition—with nothing.

   This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went.

   So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke?

   All for a miserable life spent in the dark?
