Primeras conclusiones

Yo, el Predicador, fui rey de Israel y viví en Jerusalén. Y en busca de conocimientos me dediqué a investigarlo todo en el universo. Descubrí que la suerte del ser humano, que Dios le ha señalado, no es un camino feliz. Todo es insensatez; todo es perseguir el viento. Lo torcido no puede enderezarse: es agua pasada; y de nada vale soñar con lo que pudiera haber sido.

RV1909 ¹²Yo el Predicador fuí rey sobre Israel en Jerusalem. ¹³Y dí mi corazón á inquirir y buscar con sabiduría sobre todo lo que se hace debajo del cielo: este penoso trabajo dió Dios á los hijos de los hombres, en que se ocupen. ¹⁴Yo miré todas las obras que se hacen debajo del sol; y he aquí, todo ello es vanidad y aflicción de espíritu. ¹⁵Lo torcido no se puede enderezar; y lo falto no puede contarse.

BES ¹²Yo, el Predicador, fui rey sobre Israel en Jerusalén. ¹³Y di mi corazón a buscar con sabiduría todas las cosas que se hacen bajo el cielo. Es una cosa difícil que Dios ha puesto sobre los hijos de los hombres. ¹⁴He visto todas las obras que se hacen bajo el sol; nada tiene propósito, y aflicción de espíritu. ¹⁵Lo que está doblado no puede ser enderezado, y lo que no está allí, no puede ser numerado.

PdDpt ¹²Yo, el Predicador, fui rey de Israel en Jerusalén. ¹³Dediqué mi corazón a buscar e investigar con sabiduría todo lo que sucede bajo el cielo. Dura tarea que ʼElohim dio a los hijos de hombres para que sean afligidos con ella. ¹⁴Vi todas las obras que se hacen bajo el sol. Ciertamente todo es vanidad y correr tras el viento. ¹⁵Lo torcido no se puede enderezar, Y lo incompleto no se puede completar.

PDT ¹²Yo, el Maestro, fui rey de Israel en Jerusalén. ¹³Decidí estudiar y usar mi sabiduría para aprender acerca de todo lo que se hace bajo el cielo. Aprendí que Dios le ha dado una tarea muy agobiante a los seres humanos. ¹⁴Observé todo lo que se hace bajo el sol y concluí que nada tiene sentido. Todo es como tratar de atrapar el viento. ¹⁵El mundo está torcido y ya no se endereza. Por más cuentas que se hagan, nunca se completa lo que falta.

Darby ¹²Moi, le prédicateur, j’ai été roi sur Israël à Jérusalem, ¹³et j’ai appliqué mon cœur à rechercher et à explorer par la sagesse tout ce qui se fait sous les cieux : c’est une occupation ingrate que Dieu a donnée aux fils des hommes afin qu’ils s’y fatiguent. ¹⁴J’ai vu tous les travaux qui se font sous le soleil ; et voici, tout est vanité et poursuite du vent. ¹⁵Ce qui est tordu ne peut être redressé, et ce qui manque ne peut être compté.
