Eclesiastés 4:5–6 en diferentes traducciones

Español

RV1909 ⁵El necio dobla sus manos y come su carne. ⁶Mas vale el un puño lleno con descanso, que ambos puños llenos con trabajo y aflicción de espíritu.

BES ⁵El hombre necio, doblando sus manos, toma la carne de su propio cuerpo para comer. ⁶Una mano llena de descanso es mejor que dos manos llenas de problemas y aflicción de espíritu.

PdDpt ⁵El necio se cruza de brazos y devora su propia carne. ⁶Mejor es un puñado de quietud que ambas manos llenas de trabajo Y de correr tras el viento.

PDT ⁵Algunos dicen que es tonto cruzarse de brazos y no hacer nada, que si no trabajas morirás de hambre. ⁶Quizás eso sea cierto, pero creo que es mejor estar satisfecho con lo poco que se tiene que estar siempre luchando por conseguir más, que es como tratar de atrapar el viento.
