Ecclesiastes 1:4-7

Em outras traduções

1. KJV King James Version

   4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. 5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. 6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

2. NIV New International Version

   4 Generations come and generations go,

   but the earth remains forever.

   5 The sun rises and the sun sets,

   and hurries back to where it rises.

   6 The wind blows to the south

   and turns to the north;

   round and round it goes,

   ever returning on its course.

   7 All streams flow into the sea,

   yet the sea is never full.

   To the place the streams come from,

   there they return again.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,

   but the earth remains forever.

   5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,

   and hastens to the place where it rises.

   6 The wind blows to the south

   and goes around to the north;

   around and around goes the wind,

   and on its circuits the wind returns.

   7 All streams run to the sea,

   but the sea is not full;

   to the place where the streams flow,

   there they flow again.

4. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;

   But the earth abides forever.

   5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,

   And hastens to the place where it arose.

   6 The wind goes toward the south,

   And turns around to the north;

   The wind whirls about continually,

   And comes again on its circuit.

   7 All the rivers run into the sea,

   Yet the sea is not full;

   To the place from which the rivers come,

   There they return again.

5. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   4 A generation goes and a generation comes,

   But the earth remains forever.

   5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets;

   And hurrying to its place it rises there again.

   6 Blowing toward the south,

   Then turning toward the north,

   The wind continues swirling along;

   And on its circular courses the wind returns.

   7 All the rivers flow into the sea,

   Yet the sea is not full.

   To the place where the rivers flow,

   There they flow again.

6. CSB Christian Standard Bible

   4 A generation goes and a generation comes,

   but the earth remains forever. 

   5 The sun rises and the sun sets;

   panting, it hurries back to the place 

   where it rises.

   6 Gusting to the south,

   turning to the north,

   turning, turning, goes the wind, 

   and the wind returns in its cycles.

   7 All the streams flow to the sea,

   yet the sea is never full;

   to the place where the streams flow,

   there they flow again.

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth standeth for ever. 5 The sun riseth, and goeth down, and returneth to his place: and there rising again, 6 Maketh his round by the south, and turneth again to the north: the spirit goeth forward surveying all places round about, and returneth to his circuits. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea doth not overflow: unto the place from whence the rivers come, they return, to flow again.

8. MSG The Message

   2-11 Smoke, nothing but smoke. [That’s what the Quester says.]

   There’s nothing to anything—it’s all smoke.

   What’s there to show for a lifetime of work,

   a lifetime of working your fingers to the bone?

   One generation goes its way, the next one arrives,

   but nothing changes—it’s business as usual for old planet earth.

   The sun comes up and the sun goes down,

   then does it again, and again—the same old round.

   The wind blows south, the wind blows north.

   Around and around and around it blows,

   blowing this way, then that—the whirling, erratic wind.

   All the rivers flow into the sea,

   but the sea never fills up.

   The rivers keep flowing to the same old place,

   and then start all over and do it again.

   Everything’s boring, utterly boring—

   no one can find any meaning in it.

   Boring to the eye,

   boring to the ear.

   What was will be again,

   what happened will happen again.

   There’s nothing new on this earth.

   Year after year it’s the same old thing.

   Does someone call out, "Hey, this is new"?

   Don’t get excited—it’s the same old story.

   Nobody remembers what happened yesterday.

   And the things that will happen tomorrow?

   Nobody’ll remember them either.

   Don’t count on being remembered.
