Ecc Predikaren, kapitel Predikaren, kapitel 3
För det som drabbar människans söner, drabbar vilddjuren. En sak drabbar dem – som den ene dör så dör den andre, alla har en ande (alternativ översättning: de andas alla). I detta har människan ingen fördel framför vilddjuret, för allt är fåfängt (tomhet; helt meningslöst).
[Hebreiskan har helt andra uttryckssätt än vårt språk. Men det som ligger i denna mening är att allt som andas har en ande och så länge som vi andas lever vi, när vi slutar andas dör vi. I detta avseende finns det ingen skillnad på människor och djur. Annars skiljer Bibeln noga på djur och människor, för det är enbart människan som är skapad till Guds avbild. I detta är människan unik och har inget samröre med djuren.]Psa 49:13; 1Pe 3:12
Kazatel 3:19 v různých překladech
Švédština
SRB26
För det går människorna som det går djuren och det går dem båda lika. Såsom den ene dör så dör den andre. Ja, de andas alla lika och en människa har inget företräde framför ett djur, för allt är förgängligt.

B21
Lidi i zvířata čeká stejný osud – jeden umírá tak jako druhý, všichni dýchají stejný vzduch. Člověk zvířata ničím nepřevyšuje, všechno je marnost!
BKR
Případnost synů lidských a případnost hovad jest případnost jednostejná. Jakož umírá ono, tak umírá i on, a dýchání jednostejné všickni mají, aniž co napřed má člověk před hovadem; nebo všecko jest marnost.

KJV (66 books)
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
ASV
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.
BSB
For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other — they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
DRA
Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
FBV
For what happens to human beings is the same as what happens to animals—in the same way one dies, the other dies too. They all have the breath of life—so regarding any advantage human beings have over animals, there is none. Definitely this is very hard to understand!
GNV
For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
JPS
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that man hath no pre-eminence above a beast; for all is vanity.
LSV
For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to] the beasts, even one event [is] to them; as the death of this, so [is] the death of that; and one spirit [is] to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole [is] vanity.
NIV (US)
Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.
NMV
For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yes, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
OJB
For bnei haAdam and beheimah share one and same mikreh (fortune); as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that the adam hath no advantage above the beheimah; for all is hevel.
T4T
because what happens to people happens to animals. Animals die, and people die. We all must breathe to remain alive. With regard to that, people have no advantage over animals, so I have a difficult time understanding that.
WEB (US)
For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.
