我姑以酒為懽、若無智然、而仍不敢失度、庶知人生在世、最樂者何事。

我心里察究，如何用酒使我肉体舒畅，我心却仍以智慧引导我；又如何持住愚昧，等我看明世人，在天下一生当行何事为美。

我心以智慧引导我，我心里探究，如何用酒使身体舒畅，如何抓住愚昧，直等我看明世人在天下短暂一生中，当行何事为美。

我心以智慧引导我，我心里探究，如何用酒使身体舒畅，如何抓住愚昧，直等我看明世人在天下短暂一生中，当行何事为美。

于是，我决意用酒使自己快乐，在体验愚昧的同时仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暂的人生岁月中做何事才有益。

我心里筹思，怎样用酒使我的身体畅快，又保持愚昧，但我的内心仍由智慧引导；直到我看明世人，在诸天之下一生有限的年日中所行的，对他们有益的是什么。

我的心以智慧引领我的同时，我心里探察如何用酒使我的肉体畅快并保持愚昧状，直到我看清世人一生可数的日子里，在天下做什么才有益处。

於是，我決意用酒使自己快樂，在體驗愚昧的同時仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暫的人生歲月中做何事才有益。

我心裡籌思，怎樣用酒使我的身體暢快，又保持愚昧，但我的內心仍由智慧引導；直到我看明世人，在諸天之下一生有限的年日中所行的，對他們有益的是甚麼。

我心裏探察，要怎樣用酒使我的肉體舒暢，要怎樣固執着愚昧，等到我看明人類在光天之下儘他一生小小數目的日子裏要怎樣行才好；我的心仍然靠着智慧來引導。

我的心以智慧引領我的同時，我心裡探察如何用酒使我的肉體暢快並保持愚昧狀，直到我看清世人一生可數的日子裡，在天下做什麼才有益處。

我心思維、酌酒以快我身、而心仍為智慧所導、又思持守愚拙、知天下人畢生所行、孰為美善、

我又自思、我且飲酒以樂我身、心仍導以智慧、又執守愚拙、直至我得見人生在世、人生在世原文作人在天下終身行何事為美、

I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly— my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.

I tried cheering myself up by drinking wine. I even tried living in a foolish way. But wisdom was still guiding my mind. I wanted to see what was good for people to do on earth during their short lives.

I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine— my heart still guiding me with wisdom— and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

After much thought, I decided to cheer myself with wine. And while still seeking wisdom, I clutched at foolishness. In this way, I tried to experience the only happiness most people find during their brief life in this world.

I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body— my mind still guiding me with wisdom— and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

I explored with my mind how to refresh my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely; and how to seize foolishness, until I could see what good there is for the sons of mankind to do under heaven for the few years of their lives.

I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

清酒醇醪過飲、生侮慢、載號載呶、沉湎於酒、無智甚矣。

我專我心、窮察智愚、祇徒勞焉。

事之大略、爾其聽之、寅畏上帝、守其誡命、此人之大端。

利母益乎、清酒醇醪、王毋過飲、恐忘律例、枉法以害貧。

勿酗酒蕩檢、惟感以聖神、

人生斯世、歷日無幾、如影沉西、逝世之後、不識復有何事、以是觀之、安在所謂真福。

以我觀之、上帝所賜、既勤勞而得之、則必以飲以食、安坐而享、樂莫大焉。

爾怒奮揚、余壽俱亡、歲月易過、恍若中心之轉念兮、人生歲數、無過七十、如體壯健、可冀八旬、雖以遐齡自詡、而已晚景之彌艱、生命將絕、如鳥高飛、倏忽不見兮、孰知爾怒震烈、而敬乎其所當敬兮、余生於世、為日無多、祈爾指示、致志於道兮、

誰遭禍患、誰起爭競、誰搆怨尤、誰目赤身傷、出於無因、惟耽麯櫱、嘗旨否、調劑甚厚者則若是。勿以觀酒為樂、其色貴朱、入爵則沸、依法而流、不知其終、酒傷若蛇、其毒若蝮、既沈湎於酒、則目注淫婦、心思邪僻、其危也、若偃息海中、高枕桅上。勿自謂受擊而不傷、醉為無害、醒而再飲。

亞庇該至拿八所、見其設盛饌、可儗侯王、拿八醉甚、中心喜悅、是夕事無鉅細、俱不以告。

人既死亡、豈能復生、我生苦境、必有終年、乃逝世。

自義在所必戒、妄為尤所當絕、惟上帝是畏、患難可避。

雅各曰、余旅世年百有三十、較祖旅世之年少、不能相及、且多歷艱苦。

以我觀之、人在斯世、莫若為善而享福。上帝賜人、勤勞而得之、式飲式食、安享其成。

我盡心求道、欲知事理之所以、亦欲知愚昧之不善、

一人事二主者、未之有也、或惡此愛彼、或重此輕彼、爾不能事上帝、又事財貨也、

基督與彼列、何契之有、信與不信、何類之有、上帝之殿、木偶之像、何同之有、夫爾固永生上帝之殿也、上帝曰吾將居其內、遊其間、吾為彼上帝、彼為我民、主曰、爾出不潔者中、自為樹立、不近於彼、吾則納爾、
