It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.

Ματαιον ειναι εις εσας να σηκονησθε πρωι, να πλαγιαζητε αργα, τρωγοντες τον αρτον του κοπου· ο Κυριος βεβαιως διδει υπνον εις τον αγαπητον αυτου.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
