Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.	1 αγαθον ονομα υπερ ελαιον αγαθον και ημερα του θανατου υπερ ημεραν γενεσεως αυτου
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.	2 αγαθον πορευθηναι εις οικον πενθους η οτι πορευθηναι εις οικον ποτου καθοτι τουτο τελος παντος του ανθρωπου και ο ζων δωσει εις καρδιαν αυτου
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.	3 αγαθον θυμος υπερ γελωτα οτι εν κακια προσωπου αγαθυνθησεται καρδια
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.	4 καρδια σοφων εν οικω πενθους και καρδια αφρονων εν οικω ευφροσυνης
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.	5 αγαθον το ακουσαι επιτιμησιν σοφου υπερ ανδρα ακουοντα ασμα αφρονων
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.	6 οτι ως φωνη των ακανθων υπο τον λεβητα ουτως γελως των αφρονων και γε τουτο ματαιοτης
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.	7 οτι η συκοφαντια περιφερει σοφον και απολλυσι την καρδιαν ευτονιας αυτου
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.	8 αγαθη εσχατη λογων υπερ αρχην αυτου αγαθον μακροθυμος υπερ υψηλον πνευματι
9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.	9 μη σπευσης εν πνευματι σου του θυμουσθαι οτι θυμος εν κολπω αφρονων αναπαυσεται
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.	10 μη ειπης τι εγενετο οτι αι ημεραι αι προτεραι ησαν αγαθαι υπερ ταυτας οτι ουκ εν σοφια επηρωτησας περι τουτου
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.	11 αγαθη σοφια μετα κληροδοσιας και περισσεια τοις θεωρουσιν τον ηλιον
12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.	12 οτι εν σκια αυτης η σοφια ως σκια του αργυριου και περισσεια γνωσεως της σοφιας ζωοποιησει τον παρ' αυτης
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?	13 ιδε τα ποιηματα του θεου οτι τις δυνησεται του κοσμησαι ον αν ο θεος διαστρεψη αυτον
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.	14 εν ημερα αγαθωσυνης ζηθι εν αγαθω και εν ημερα κακιας ιδε και γε συν τουτο συμφωνον τουτω εποιησεν ο θεος περι λαλιας ινα μη ευρη ο ανθρωπος οπισω αυτου μηδεν
15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.	15 συν τα παντα ειδον εν ημεραις ματαιοτητος μου εστιν δικαιος απολλυμενος εν δικαιω αυτου και εστιν ασεβης μενων εν κακια αυτου
16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?	16 μη γινου δικαιος πολυ και μη σοφιζου περισσα μηποτε εκπλαγης
17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?	17 μη ασεβησης πολυ και μη γινου σκληρος ινα μη αποθανης εν ου καιρω σου
18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.	18 αγαθον το αντεχεσθαι σε εν τουτω και γε απο τουτου μη ανης την χειρα σου οτι φοβουμενος τον θεον εξελευσεται τα παντα
19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.	19 η σοφια βοηθησει τω σοφω υπερ δεκα εξουσιαζοντας τους οντας εν τη πολει
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.	20 οτι ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν δικαιος εν τη γη ος ποιησει αγαθον και ουχ αμαρτησεται
21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:	21 και γε εις παντας τους λογους ους λαλησουσιν μη θης καρδιαν σου οπως μη ακουσης του δουλου σου καταρωμενου σε
22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.	22 οτι πλειστακις πονηρευσεται σε και καθοδους πολλας κακωσει καρδιαν σου οπως και γε συ κατηρασω ετερους
23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.	23 παντα ταυτα επειρασα εν τη σοφια ειπα σοφισθησομαι
24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?	24 και αυτη εμακρυνθη απ' εμου μακραν υπερ ο ην και βαθυ βαθος τις ευρησει αυτο
25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:	25 εκυκλωσα εγω και η καρδια μου του γνωναι και του κατασκεψασθαι και ζητησαι σοφιαν και ψηφον και του γνωναι ασεβους αφροσυνην και σκληριαν και περιφοραν
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.	26 και ευρισκω εγω πικροτερον υπερ θανατον συν την γυναικα ητις εστιν θηρευματα και σαγηναι καρδια αυτης δεσμοι χειρες αυτης αγαθος προ προσωπου του θεου εξαιρεθησεται απ' αυτης και αμαρτανων συλλημφθησεται εν αυτη
27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:	27 ιδε τουτο ευρον ειπεν ο εκκλησιαστης μια τη μια του ευρειν λογισμον
28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.	28 ον ετι εζητησεν η ψυχη μου και ουχ ευρον ανθρωπον ενα απο χιλιων ευρον και γυναικα εν πασι τουτοις ουχ ευρον
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.	29 πλην ιδε τουτο ευρον ο εποιησεν ο θεος συν τον ανθρωπον ευθη και αυτοι εζητησαν λογισμους πολλους
