Pred Prediger, Kapitel Kohelet, Kapitel 8
Weises Verhalten gegen den König. Über die Widersprüche des Lebens, die keine Weisheit löst, tröstet nur froher Lebensgenuß.
da gewahrte ich, daß der Mensch all' das Thun Gottes nicht zu ergründen vermag, das Thun, welches geschieht unter der Sonne, weil der Mensch sich abmüht, zu suchen, und es doch nicht ergründet, und auch, wenn der Weise meint, es zu erkennen, kann er's nicht ergründen.

Þýska
Luther
Und ich sah alle Werke Gottes, daß ein Mensch das Werk nicht finden kann, das unter der Sonne geschieht; und je mehr der Mensch arbeitet, zu suchen, je weniger er findet. Wenn er gleich spricht: “Ich bin weise und weiß es”, so kann er's doch nicht finden.
ELO (1905)
da habe ich bezüglich des ganzen Werkes Gottes gesehen, daß der Mensch das Werk nicht zu erfassen vermag, welches unter der Sonne geschieht, indem der Mensch sich abmüht es zu suchen, aber es nicht erfaßt. Und selbst wenn der Weise es zu erkennen meint, vermag er es doch nicht zu erfassen.
ELO (modernisiert)
da habe ich bezüglich des ganzen Werkes Gottes gesehen, dass der Mensch das Werk nicht zu erfassen vermag, das unter der Sonne geschieht, indem der Mensch sich abmüht es zu suchen, aber es nicht erfasst. Und selbst wenn der Weise es zu erkennen meint, vermag er es doch nicht zu erfassen.
NeÜ
da sah ich, dass der Mensch das Werk Gottes in seiner Ganzheit nicht ergründen kann. Und wie sehr er sich auch abmüht, zu erkennen, was unter der Sonne geschieht, er findet es doch nicht heraus. Selbst wenn der Weise behauptet, es zu verstehen, so kann er es doch nicht begreifen.

KJV (66 books)
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
ASV

BSB
I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.
DRA
And I understood that man can find no reason of all those works of God that are done under the sun: and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it.
FBV
Then I studied everything God does, and I realized that no one can fully understand what happens here. However hard they try, however wise they claim to be, they can't really comprehend it.
GNV
Then I behelde the whole worke of God, that man cannot finde out ye worke that is wrought vnder the sunne: for the which man laboureth to seeke it, and cannot finde it: yea, and though the wise man thinke to knowe it, he cannot finde it.
JPS

LSV
then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that has been done under the sun, because though man labor to seek, yet he does not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find.
NASB
and I saw every work of God, I concluded that one cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though a person laboriously seeks, he will not discover; and even if the wise person claims to know, he cannot discover. NASB 2020
NIV (US)
then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.
NMV
Then I beheld all the work of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yes further; though a wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it].
OJB
then I beheld kol ma'aseh HaElohim, that haAdam cannot comprehend the ma'aseh that is done under the shemesh; because though haAdam labor to seek it out, yet he shall not comprehend it; moreover, though a chacham claim to have da'as of it, yet shall he not be able to comprehend it.
RV
then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
T4T
Then I thought about everything [HYP] that God has done, and I realized that no one can understand everything that happens here on this earth. Truly, people are not able to fully understand everything that God understands, even if they try hard to do that. Even if wise people claim that they understand it all, they cannot.
