Assamese: মই ঘুৰি আকৌ সুৰ্য্যৰ তলত চাই দেখিলো, যে, লৰ মৰামৰি খেলত বেগীবিলাক, ৰণত বীৰ বিলাক যে জয় হয়, আৰু জ্ঞানীবিলাকে অন্ন, বুদ্ধিয়ক বিলাকে ধন, আৰু নিপুণ লোকবিলাকে যে অনুগ্ৰহ পায় এনে নহয়; কিন্তু সকলোলৈকে সময় আৰু দৈব্যক্ৰমেহে ঘটে।
AYT: Sekali lagi, aku melihat di bawah matahari bahwa perlombaan bukanlah untuk yang cepat, pertarungan bukanlah untuk yang kuat, roti bukanlah untuk yang berhikmat, kekayaan bukanlah untuk yang berpengertian, atau kemurahan untuk yang berpengetahuan. Namun, waktu dan kesempatan terjadi kepada mereka semua.
Bengali: আমি কিছু আকর্ষণীয় জিনিস সূর্যের নিচে দেখেছি: দৌড় দ্রুতগামীদের অন্তর্গত নয়। যুদ্ধ শক্তিশালীদের অন্তর্গত নয়। রুটি জ্ঞানীদের অন্তর্গত নয়। ধন-সম্পত্তি বুদ্ধিমান লোকেদের অন্তর্গত নয়। অনুগ্রহ বিজ্ঞদের অন্তর্গত নয়। বরং, সময় এবং সুযোগ সকলকে প্রভাবিত করে।
Gujarati: હું પાછો ફર્યો તો પૃથ્વી પર મેં એવું જોયું કે ; શરતમાં વેગવાનની જીત થતી નથી. અને યુદ્ધોમાં બળવાનની જીત થતી નથી. વળી, બુદ્ધિમાનને રોટલી મળતી નથી. અને સમજણાને ધન મળતું નથી. તેમ જ ચતુર પુરુષો પર રહેમનજર હોતી નથી. પણ સમય તથા પ્રસંગની અસર સર્વને લાગુ પડે છે.
Hindi: फिर मैंने धरती पर** देखा कि न तो दौड़ में वेग दौड़नेवाले और न युद्ध में शूरवीर जीतते; न बुद्धिमान लोग रोटी पाते न समझवाले धन, और न प्रवीणों पर अनुग्रह होता है, वे सब समय और संयोग के वश में है।
Kannada: ನಾನು ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ತಿರುಗಿ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಸಲು ವೇಗಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಓಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆಲುವಿಲ್ಲ. ಬಲಿಷ್ಠರಿಗೆ ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಜ್ಞಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನ್ನ ಸಿಕ್ಕದು. ವಿವೇಕಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಧನ ಲಭಿಸದು. ಪ್ರವೀಣರಿಗೆ ದಯೆ ದೊರಕದು. ಕಾಲವೂ, ಗತಿಯೂ ಅವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ಸಂಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
Marathi: मी सूर्याच्या खालती काही कुतुहलाच्या गोष्टी पाहिल्या. वेगाने धावणारा शर्यत जिंकत नाही, सर्वशक्तीमान लढाई जिंकतो असे नाही. शहाण्याला अन्न खाता येते असे नाही. समंजसाला संपत्ती मिळते असे नाही आणि ज्ञान्यावरच अनुग्रह होतो असे नाही. त्याऐवजी समय व संधी त्या सर्वावर परीणाम होतात.
Odiya: ମୁଁ ଫେରି ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ତଳେ ଦେଖିଲି ଯେ, ଦ୍ରୁତଗାମୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାଜି, କି ବୀରମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜୟ, ଅବା ଜ୍ଞାନୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନ୍ନ, କିଅବା ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧନ, ଅଥବା ପଣ୍ଡିତମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ସମୟ ଓ ଆକସ୍ମିକ ଘଟଣା ଘଟେ ।
Punjabi: ਫੇਰ ਮੈਂ ਮੁੜ ਕੇ ਸੂਰਜ ਦੇ ਹੇਠ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਕਿ ਨਾ ਤਾਂ ਤੇਜ਼ ਦੌੜਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਦੌੜ ਹੈ, ਨਾ ਸੂਰਮੇ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਜੁੱਧ, ਸਗੋਂ ਬੁੱਧਵਾਨ ਲਈ ਰੋਟੀ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਨਾ ਸਮਝ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਨਿਪੁੰਨ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਾਰਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਮੇਂ ਸਿਰ ਅਤੇ ਮੌਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ ।
Tamil: நான் திரும்பிக்கொண்டு சூரியனுக்குக் கீழே பார்த்தது: ஓடுகிறதற்கு வேகமுள்ளவர்களின் வேகமும், யுத்தத்திற்கு வீரர்களின் வீரம் போதாது; பிழைப்பிற்கு ஞானமுள்ளவர்களின் ஞானமும் போதாது; ஐசுவரியம் அடைகிறதற்குப் புத்திமான்களின் புத்தியும் போதாது; தயவு அடைகிறதற்கு அறிவில் தேறினவர்களின் அறிவும் போதாது; அவர்கள் எல்லோருக்கும் நேரமும் தேவச்செயலும் நேரிடவேண்டும்.
Telugu: నేను ఇంకా ఆలోచిస్తుండగా సూర్యుని కింద జరిగేది నాకు అర్థమైంది ఏమంటే, వేగం గలవారు పరుగులో గెలవరు. బలమైన వారికి యుద్ధంలో విజయం దొరకదు. తెలివైన వారికి ఆహారం లభించదు. అవగాహన ఉన్నంత మాత్రాన ఐశ్వర్యం కలగదు. జ్ఞానవంతులకు అనుగ్రహం దొరకదు. ఇవన్నీ అదృష్టం కొద్దీ కాలవశాన అందరికీ కలుగుతున్నాయి.
NETBible: Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge – for time and chance may overcome them all.
NASB: I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.
HCSB: Again I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, or the battle to the strong, or bread to the wise, or riches to the discerning, or favor to the skillful; rather, time and chance happen to all of them.
LEB: I saw something else under the sun. The race isn’t won by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise people don’t necessarily have food. Intelligent people don’t necessarily have riches, and skilled people don’t necessarily receive special treatment. But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.
NIV: I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
ESV: Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
NRSV: Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the skillful; but time and chance happen to them all.
REB: One more thing I have observed here under the sun: swiftness does not win the race nor strength the battle. Food does not belong to the wise, nor wealth to the intelligent, nor success to the skilful; time and chance govern all.
NKJV: I returned and saw under the sun that––The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
KJV: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
NLT: I have observed something else in this world of ours. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise are often poor, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being at the right place at the right time.
GNB: I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone.
ERV: I also saw other things in this life that were not fair. The fastest runner does not always win the race; the strongest soldier does not always win the battle; wise people don’t always get the food; smart people don’t always get the wealth; educated people don’t always get the praise they deserve. When the time comes, bad things can happen to anyone!
BBE: And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.
MSG: I took another walk around the neighborhood and realized that on this earth as it is--The race is not always to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor satisfaction to the wise, Nor riches to the smart, Nor grace to the learned. Sooner or later bad luck hits us all.
CEV: Here is something else I have learned: The fastest runners and the greatest heroes don't always win races and battles. Wisdom, intelligence, and skill don't always make you healthy, rich, or popular. We each have our share of bad luck.
CEVUK: Here is something else I have learnt: The fastest runners and the greatest heroes don't always win races and battles. Wisdom, intelligence, and skill don't always make you healthy, rich, or popular. We each have our share of bad luck.
GWV: I saw something else under the sun. The race isn’t won by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise people don’t necessarily have food. Intelligent people don’t necessarily have riches, and skilled people don’t necessarily receive special treatment. But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.
