(1) For everything a time, a season for every experience under the heavens:
(2) A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted;
(3) A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build up;
(4) A time to cry and a time to laugh,
A time to wail and a time to dance;
(5) A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones,
A time to embrace and a time for refrain from embracing;
(6) A time to seek and a time to lose,
A time to keep and a time to discard;
(7) A time to rip and a time to sew,
A time to be silent and a time to speak;
(8) A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
(י) רָאִ֣יתִי אֶת־הָֽעִנְיָ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֧ן אֱלֹקִ֛ים לִבְנֵ֥י הָאָדָ֖ם לַעֲנ֥וֹת בּֽוֹ׃
(יא) אֶת־הַכֹּ֥ל עָשָׂ֖ה יָפֶ֣ה בְעִתּ֑וֹ
גַּ֤ם אֶת־הָעֹלָם֙ נָתַ֣ן בְּלִבָּ֔ם
מִבְּלִ֞י אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹא־יִמְצָ֣א הָאָדָ֗ם אֶת־הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֛ה
אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה הָאֱלֹקִ֖ים מֵרֹ֥אשׁ וְעַד־סֽוֹף׃
(10) I have observed the matter that God gave human beings to be concerned with:
(11) [God] brings everything to pass beautifully at its time;
[God] also puts eternity in their hearts, without a person ever finding
all the things that God brings to pass,
from beginning to end.
(יג) וְגַ֤ם כָּל־הָאָדָם֙ שֶׁיֹּאכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֔ה
וְרָאָ֥ה ט֖וֹב בְּכָל־עֲמָל֑וֹ
מַתַּ֥ת אֱלֹקִ֖ים הִֽיא׃
(13) Also, whenever a person eats and drinks
and gets benefit from their toil,
it is a gift of God.
(יג) ס֥וֹף דָּבָ֖ר הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁמָ֑ע
אֶת־הָאֱלֹקִ֤ים יְרָא֙ וְאֶת־מִצְוֺתָ֣יו שְׁמ֔וֹר
כִּי־זֶ֖ה כָּל־הָאָדָֽם׃
(13) In the final matter, when all has been heard:
Be in awe of God and observe His mitzvot,
for that is the totality of the human being.
