전도서 12
Korean Living Bible
12 너는 아직 젊을 때, 곧 고난의 날이 오기 전에, 아무 낙이 없다고 말할 때가 되기 전에 너의 창조자를 기억하라.
2 네가 너무 늙어 해와 달과 별이 보이지 않고 슬픔이 떠날 날이 없을 때 그를 기억하려고 하면 늦을 것이다.
3 [a]그 때에는 너를 보호하던 팔도 떨 것이며 지금 강한 너의 다리도 약해질 것이다. 그리고 이빨이 거의 다 빠져 음식을 잘 씹지 못할 것이며 눈은 어두워서 보지 못할 것이다.
4 귀는 어두워서 거리에서 들려오는 소리를 듣지 못할 것이며 음식을 씹는 소리가 적을 것이다. 그리고 깊은 잠을 자지 못할 것이며 음성도 떨릴 것이다.
5 그때 너는 높은 곳을 두려워할 것이며 걷는 것도 위험할 것이다. 머리는 온통 희어지고 거동하기가 불편해서 몸을 제대로 끌고 다닐 수 없을 것이며 모든 의욕과 정욕은 사라질 것이다. 그렇게 되면 결국 조객들이 네 집을 찾아들 날도 멀지 않을 것이다.
6 [b]은줄이 끊어지고 몸의 모든 기능이 정지되며
7 육은 본래의 흙으로 돌아가고 영은 그것을 주신 하나님께로 돌아가기 전에 너의 창조자를 기억하라.
8 전도자가 말한다. “헛되고 헛되며 모든 것이 헛될 뿐이다!”
인간의 본분
9 전도자는 지혜로운 사람이었기 때문에 자기가 아는 것을 사람들에게 계속 가르쳤으며 그는 또 깊이 생각하고 연구하는 중에 많은 금언을 모아 정리하였다.
10 이 전도자는 바르고 고운 말을 찾으려고 애썼으므로 그가 기록한 것은 거짓이 없고 진실하다.
11 지혜로운 자들의 말은 양떼를 모는 채찍 같고 그들이 수집한 명언은 잘 박힌 못과 같은 것이니 그것은 다 우리의 목자 되시는 하나님이 주신 것이다.
12 내 아들아, 이 밖에 조심할 일이 있다: 아무리 책을 많이 써도 끝이 없으니 지나치게 공부하는 것은 몸을 피곤하게 할 뿐이다.
13 이제 모든 것을 다 들었으니 결론은 이것이다: 하나님을 두려운 마음으로 섬기고 그의 명령에 순종하라. 이것이 사람의 본분이다.
14 선하건 악하건 하나님은 우리가 하는 모든 일을 은밀한 것까지 다 심판하실 것이다.
Ecclesiastes 12
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 12
New International Version
12 Remember(A) your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble(B) come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”—
2 before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
3 when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;
4 when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when people rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;(C)
5 when people are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags itself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then people go to their eternal home(D)
and mourners(E) go about the streets.
6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel broken at the well,
7 and the dust returns(F) to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God(G) who gave it.(H)
The Conclusion of the Matter
9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.(K) 10 The Teacher(L) searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.(M)
11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails(N)—given by one shepherd.[b] 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.(O)

King James Version
Ecclesiastes 12
King James Version
12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
