Ecclesiastes 6

KJV

1  There is3426 an evil7451 which834 I have seen7200 under8478 the sun,8121 and it1931 is common7227 among5921 men:120

2  A man376 to whom834 God430 hath given5414 riches,6239 wealth,5233 and honor,3519 so that he wanteth2638 nothing369 for his soul5315 of all4480 3605 that834 he desireth,183 yet God430 giveth him not power7980 3808 to eat398 thereof,4480 but3588 a stranger376 5237 eateth398 it: this2088 is vanity,1892 and it1931 is an evil7451 disease.2483

3  If518 a man376 beget3205 a hundred3967 children, and live2421 many7227 years,8141 so that the days3117 of his years8141 be7945 1961 many,7227 and his soul5315 be not3808 filled7646 with4480 good,2896 and also1571 that he have1961 no3808 burial;6900 I say,559 that an untimely birth5309 is better2896 than4480 he.

4  For3588 he cometh935 in with vanity,1892 and departeth1980 in darkness,2822 and his name8034 shall be covered3680 with darkness.2822

5  Moreover1571 he hath not3808 seen7200 the sun,8121 nor3808 known3045 any thing: this2088 hath more rest5183 than the other.4480 2088

6  Yea,432 though he live2421 a thousand505 years8141 twice6471 told, yet hath he seen7200 no3808 good:2896 do not3808 all3605 go1980 to413 one259 place?4725

7  All3605 the labor5999 of man120 is for his mouth,6310 and yet1571 the appetite5315 is not3808 filled.4390

8  For3588 what4100 hath the wise2450 more3148 than4480 the fool?3684 what4100 hath the poor,6041 that knoweth3045 to walk1980 before5048 the living?2416

9  Better2896 is the sight4758 of the eyes5869 than the wandering4480 1980 of the desire:5315 this2088 is also1571 vanity1892 and vexation7469 of spirit.7307

10  That4100 which hath been7945 1961 is named7121 8034 already,3528 and it is known3045 that834 it1931 is man:120 neither3808 may3201 he contend1777 with5973 him that is mightier7945 8623 than4480 he.

11  Seeing3588 there be3426 many7235 things1697 that increase7235 vanity,1892 what4100 is man120 the better?3148

12  For3588 who4310 knoweth3045 what4100 is good2896 for man120 in this life,2416 all4557 the days3117 of his vain1892 life2416 which he spendeth6213 as a shadow?6738 for834 who4310 can tell5046 a man120 what4100 shall be1961 after310 him under8478 the sun?8121

1 ἔστιν πονηρία ἣν εἶδον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον καὶ πολλή ἐστιν ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον

2 ἀνήρ ᾧ δώσει αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς πλοῦτον καὶ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δόξαν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστερῶν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐπιθυμήσει καὶ οὐκ ἐξουσιάσει αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ φαγεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀνὴρ ξένος φάγεται αὐτόν τοῦτο ματαιότης καὶ ἀρρωστία πονηρά ἐστιν

3 ἐὰν γεννήσῃ ἀνὴρ ἑκατὸν καὶ ἔτη πολλὰ ζήσεται καὶ πλῆθος ὅ τι ἔσονται ἡμέραι ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐμπλησθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγαθωσύνης καί γε ταφὴ οὐκ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἶπα ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν τὸ ἔκτρωμα

4 ὅτι ἐν ματαιότητι ἦλθεν καὶ ἐν σκότει πορεύεται καὶ ἐν σκότει ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καλυφθήσεται

5 καί γε ἥλιον οὐκ εἶδεν καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ἀνάπαυσις τούτῳ ὑπὲρ τοῦτον

6 καὶ εἰ ἔζησεν χιλίων ἐτῶν καθόδους καὶ ἀγαθωσύνην οὐκ εἶδεν μὴ οὐκ εἰς τόπον ἕνα τὰ πάντα πορεύεται

7 πᾶς μόχθος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰς στόμα αὐτοῦ καί γε ἡ ψυχὴ οὐ πληρωθήσεται

8 ὅτι τίς περισσεία τῷ σοφῷ ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄφρονα διότι ὁ πένης οἶδεν πορευθῆναι κατέναντι τῆς ζωῆς

9 ἀγαθὸν ὅραμα ὀφθαλμῶν ὑπὲρ πορευόμενον ψυχῇ καί γε τοῦτο ματαιότης καὶ προαίρεσις πνεύματος

10 εἴ τι ἐγένετο ἤδη κέκληται ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγνώσθη ὅ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται τοῦ κριθῆναι μετὰ τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ ὑπὲρ αὐτόν

11 ὅτι εἰσὶν λόγοι πολλοὶ πληθύνοντες ματαιότητα τί περισσὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ

12 ὅτι τίς οἶδεν τί ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν ζωῆς ματαιότητος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὰς ἐν σκιᾷ ὅτι τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τί ἔσται ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον

1 [Est et aliud malum quod vidi sub sole,
et quidem frequens apud homines:

2 vir cui dedit Deus divitias,
et substantiam, et honorem,
et nihil deest animæ suæ ex omnibus quæ desiderat;
nec tribuit ei potestatem Deus ut comedat ex eo,
sed homo extraneus vorabit illud:
hoc vanitas et miseria magna est.

3 Si genuerit quispiam centum liberos,
et vixerit multos annos,
et plures dies ætatis habuerit,
et anima illius non utatur bonis substantiæ suæ,
sepulturaque careat:
de hoc ergo pronuntio quod melior illo sit abortivus.

4 Frustra enim venit,
et pergit ad tenebras,
et oblivione delebitur nomen ejus.

5 Non vidit solem,
neque cognovit distantiam boni et mali.

6 Etiam si duobus millibus annis vixerit,
et non fuerit perfruitus bonis,
nonne ad unum locum properant omnia?

7 Omnis labor hominis in ore ejus;
sed anima ejus non implebitur.

8 Quid habet amplius sapiens a stulto?
et quid pauper, nisi ut pergat illuc ubi est vita?

9 Melius est videre quod cupias,
quam desiderare quod nescias.
Sed et hoc vanitas est, et præsumptio spiritus.

10 Qui futurus est, jam vocatum est nomen ejus;
et scitur quod homo sit,
et non possit contra fortiorem se in judicio contendere.

11 Verba sunt plurima,
multamque in disputando habentia vanitatem.]
