Владимир Медведев - Коэлет 1 - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

(1) The words of Kohelet, son of David, king in Yerushalayim. (2) Vanity of vanities, said Kohelet; vanity of vanities, all is vanity. (3) What profit does a man gain from all his labors, that he toils under the sun? (4) A generation goes away, and a generation comes, but the earth endures forever. (5) And the sun rises, and the sun sets, and rushes to its place where it rises. (6) Goes south and turns north; the wind spins, spins, moves, and the wind returns to its circle. (7) All rivers flow into the sea, but the sea is not overflowing; to the place where the rivers flow, there they come again. (8) All things tire, and no one can tell (everything) - the eyes will not be satisfied with what they see, the ears will not be filled with what they hear. (9) What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. (10) Sometimes they will say about something: “Look, this is new!” - (a) it already existed in the centuries that have passed before us. (11) There is no memory of the previous (generations), and there will be no memory of those who come after. (12) I, Kohelet, was king over Israel in Yerushalayim. (13) And I set my heart to study and search with wisdom all that is done under heaven; G‑d has laid an evil deed upon the sons of men, so that they may languish over it. (14) I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and chasing after the wind. (15) What is crooked cannot be straightened, and what is missing cannot be counted. (16) I spoke thus in my heart: Behold, I have increased wisdom and increased it more than all who were before me over Jerusalem, and my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge. (17) And I gave my heart that I might know wisdom and know foolishness and foolishness; (and) I learned that this too is vexation of the spirit, (18) For by increasing wisdom, you increase grief, and by adding knowledge, you increase sorrow.
