ខគម្ពីរពេញនិយមពី Ecclesiastes 1

ចែក​រំលែក

With much wisdom comes much disappointment. The person who gains more knowledge also gains more sorrow.

All things continue the way they have been since the beginning. The same things will be done that have always been done. There is nothing new here on earth.

Everything is boring. It makes you so tired you don’t even want to talk about it. Words come again and again to our ears. But we never can hear enough. Nor can we ever really see all we want to see.

The Teacher says, “Useless! Useless! Completely useless! All things are useless.” What do people really gain from all the hard work they do here on earth?

I looked at everything done here on earth. I saw that it is all a waste of time. It is like chasing the wind.

People live, and people die. But the earth continues forever.

People don’t remember what happened long ago. In the future, people will not remember what happens now. And later, other people will not remember what was done before them.

So I decided to find out how wisdom and knowledge are better than foolish thinking. But I learned that trying to become wise is also like chasing the wind.
