Ecclesiastes 3:19 in different translations
English
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.

РСП (66 кн.)
потому что участь сынов человеческих и участь животных — участь одна: как те умирают, так умирают и эти, и одно дыхание у всех, и нет у человека преимущества перед скотом, потому что всё — суета!
НРП
Одна участь у людей и животных: умирают и те, и другие. Одно у тех и у других дыхание, и нет у человека никаких преимуществ перед животными. Всё суета.
Заокская (Кулаков)
Ибо судьба людей — что судьба животных, и умирают они, как животные, и дыхание жизни в них одно и то же, и ничем человек не лучше животного, ибо всё — тщета одна.
ВП
Одна участь у людей и животных: умирают и те, и другие. Одно у тех и у других дыхание, и нет у человека никаких преимуществ перед животными. Всё пустое.
СП (БЛ)
и человек, и животное умирают, и обоих дыхание покидает. Нет разницы между мёртвым животным и человеком, всё это бессмысленно.
