ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑΣΤΗΣ - Qoelet - Ecclesiastes 3

LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 τοις πασιν χρονος και καιρος τω παντι πραγματι υπο τον ουρανον	1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 καιρος του τεκειν και καιρος του αποθανειν καιρος του φυτευσαι και καιρος του εκτιλαι πεφυτευμενον	2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 καιρος του αποκτειναι και καιρος του ιασασθαι καιρος του καθελειν και καιρος του οικοδομησαι	3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 καιρος του κλαυσαι και καιρος του γελασαι καιρος του κοψασθαι και καιρος του ορχησασθαι	4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 καιρος του βαλειν λιθους και καιρος του συναγαγειν λιθους καιρος του περιλαβειν και καιρος του μακρυνθηναι απο περιλημψεως	5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 καιρος του ζητησαι και καιρος του απολεσαι καιρος του φυλαξαι και καιρος του εκβαλειν	6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 καιρος του ρηξαι και καιρος του ραψαι καιρος του σιγαν και καιρος του λαλειν	7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 καιρος του φιλησαι και καιρος του μισησαι καιρος πολεμου και καιρος ειρηνης	8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 τις περισσεια του ποιουντος εν οις αυτος μοχθει	9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 ειδον συν τον περισπασμον ον εδωκεν ο θεος τοις υιοις του ανθρωπου του περισπασθαι εν αυτω	10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 συν τα παντα εποιησεν καλα εν καιρω αυτου και γε συν τον αιωνα εδωκεν εν καρδια αυτων οπως μη ευρη ο ανθρωπος το ποιημα ο εποιησεν ο θεος απ' αρχης και μεχρι τελους	11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 εγνων οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον εν αυτοις ει μη του ευφρανθηναι και του ποιειν αγαθον εν ζωη αυτου	12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 και γε πας ο ανθρωπος ος φαγεται και πιεται και ιδη αγαθον εν παντι μοχθω αυτου δομα θεου εστιν	13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
14 εγνων οτι παντα οσα εποιησεν ο θεος αυτα εσται εις τον αιωνα επ' αυτω ουκ εστιν προσθειναι και απ' αυτου ουκ εστιν αφελειν και ο θεος εποιησεν ινα φοβηθωσιν απο προσωπου αυτου	14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 το γενομενον ηδη εστιν και οσα του γινεσθαι ηδη γεγονεν και ο θεος ζητησει τον διωκομενον	15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16 και ετι ειδον υπο τον ηλιον τοπον της κρισεως εκει ο ασεβης και τοπον του δικαιου εκει ο ασεβης	16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 ειπα εγω εν καρδια μου συν τον δικαιον και συν τον ασεβη κρινει ο θεος οτι καιρος τω παντι πραγματι και επι παντι τω ποιηματι	17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 εκει ειπα εγω εν καρδια μου περι λαλιας υιων του ανθρωπου οτι διακρινει αυτους ο θεος και του δειξαι οτι αυτοι κτηνη εισιν και γε αυτοις	18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
19 οτι συναντημα υιων του ανθρωπου και συναντημα του κτηνους συναντημα εν αυτοις ως ο θανατος τουτου ουτως ο θανατος τουτου και πνευμα εν τοις πασιν και τι επερισσευσεν ο ανθρωπος παρα το κτηνος ουδεν οτι τα παντα ματαιοτης	19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 τα παντα πορευεται εις τοπον ενα τα παντα εγενετο απο του χοος και τα παντα επιστρεφει εις τον χουν	20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 και τις οιδεν πνευμα υιων του ανθρωπου ει αναβαινει αυτο εις ανω και πνευμα του κτηνους ει καταβαινει αυτο κατω εις γην	21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
22 και ειδον οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον ει μη ο ευφρανθησεται ο ανθρωπος εν ποιημασιν αυτου οτι αυτο μερις αυτου οτι τις αξει αυτον του ιδειν εν ω εαν γενηται μετ' αυτον	22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
