|
| ΑΓΑΘΟΝ ὄνομα ὑπὲρ ἔλαιον ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἡμέρα τοῦ θανάτου ὑπὲρ ἡμέραν γεννήσεως. | A good name is better than good oil; and the day of death than the day of birth. |
|

|
2
|
| ἀγαθὸν πορευθῆναι εἰς οἶκον πένθους ἢ ὅτι πορευθῆναι εἰς οἶκον πότου, καθότι τοῦτο τέλος παντὸς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ὁ ζῶν δώσει ἀγαθὸν εἰς καρδίαν αὐτοῦ. | It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the banquet house: since this is the end of every man; and the living man will apply good warning to his heart. |
|

|
3
|
| ἀγαθὸν θυμὸς ὑπὲρ γέλωτα, ὅτι ἐν κακίᾳ προσώπου ἀγαθυνθήσεται καρδία. | Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart will be made better. |
|
4
|
4
|
| καρδία σοφῶν ἐν οἴκῳ πένθους, καὶ καρδία ἀφρόνων ἐν οἴκῳ εὐφροσύνης. | The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. |
|
5
|
5
|
| ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἀκοῦσαι ἐπιτίμησιν σοφοῦ ὑπὲρ ἄνδρα ἀκούοντα ᾆσμα ἀφρόνων· | It is better to hear a reproof of a wise man, than for a man to hear the song of fools. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ὡς φωνὴ ἀκανθῶν ὑπὸ τὸν λέβητα, οὕτως γέλως τῶν ἀφρόνων· καί γε τοῦτο ματαιότης. | As the sound of thorns under a caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ὅτι ἡ συκοφαντία περιφέρει σοφὸν καὶ ἀπόλλυσι τὴν καρδίαν εὐτονίας αὐτοῦ. | For oppression makes a wise man mad, and destroys his noble heart. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ἀγαθὴ ἐσχάτη λόγων ὑπὲρ ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀγαθὸν μακρόθυμος ὑπὲρ ὑψηλὸν πνεύματι. | The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded. |
|
9
|
9
|
| μὴ σπεύσῃς ἐν πνεύματί σου τοῦ θυμοῦσθαι, ὅτι θυμὸς ἐν κόλπῳ ἀφρόνων ἀναπαύσεται. | Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger will rest in the bosom of fools. |
|
10
|
10
|
| μὴ εἴπῃς· τί ἐγένετο ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι αἱ πρότεραι ἦσαν ἀγαθαὶ ὑπὲρ ταύτας; ὅτι οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐπηρώτησας περὶ τούτου. | Say not, What has happened, that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire in wisdom concerning this. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἀγαθὴ σοφία μετὰ κληρονομίας καὶ περισσεία τοῖς θεωροῦσι τὸν ἥλιον· | Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and there is an advantage by it to them that see the sun. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὅτι ἐν σκιᾷ αὐτῆς ἡ σοφία ὡς σκιὰ ἀργυρίου, καὶ περισσεία γνώσεως τῆς σοφίας ζωοποιήσει τὸν παρ᾿ αὐτῆς. | For wisdom in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will give life to him that has it. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ἰδὲ τὰ ποιήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ· ὅτι τίς δυνήσεται τοῦ κοσμῆσαι ὃν ἂν ὁ Θεὸς διαστρέψῃ αὐτόν; | Behold the works of God: for who shall be able to straighten him whom God has made crooked? |
|
14
|
14
|
| ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀγαθωσύνης ζῆθι ἐν ἀγαθῷ καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακίας ἰδέ· καί γε σὺν τούτῳ συμφώνως τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς περὶ λαλιᾶς, ἵνα μὴ εὕρῃ ἄνθρωπος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ οὐδέν. | In the day of prosperity live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, I say, God also has caused the one to agree with the other for this reason, that man should find nothing after him. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Σὺν τὰ πάντα εἶδον ἐν ἡμέραις ματαιότητός μου. ἔστι δίκαιος ἀπολλύμενος ἐν δικαίῳ αὐτοῦ, καί ἐστιν ἀσεβὴς μένων ἐν κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ. | I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness. |
|
16
|
16
|
| μὴ γίνου δίκαιος πολύ, μηδὲ σοφίζου περισσά, μήποτε ἐκπλαγῇς. | Be not very just; neither be very wise: lest thou be confounded. |
|
17
|
17
|
| μὴ ἀσεβήσῃς πολὺ καὶ μὴ γίνου σκληρός, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃς ἐν οὐ καιρῷ σου. | Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: lest thou shouldest die before thy time. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἀντέχεσθαί σε ἐν τούτῳ, καί γε ἀπὸ τούτου μὴ μιάνῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου, ὅτι φοβουμένοις τὸν Θεὸν ἐξελεύσεται τὰ πάντα. | It is well for thee to hold fast by this; also by this defile not thine hand: for to them that fear God all things shall come forth well. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ῾Η σοφία βοηθήσει τῷ σοφῷ ὑπὲρ δέκα ἐξουσιάζοντας τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τῇ πόλει· | Wisdom will help the wise man more than ten mighty men which are in the city. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ὅτι ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἔστι δίκαιος ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅς ποιήσει ἀγαθὸν καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεται. | For there is not a righteous man in the earth, who will do good, and not sin. |
|
21
|
21
|
| καί γε εἰς πάντας λόγους, οὓς λαλήσουσιν ἀσεβεῖς, μὴ θῇς καρδίαν σου, ὅπως μὴ ἀκούσῃς τοῦ δούλου σου καταρωμένου σε· | Also take no heed to all the words which ungodly men shall speak; lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee. |
|
22
|
22
|
| ὅτι πλειστάκις πονηρεύσεταί σε καὶ καθόδους πολλὰς κακώσει καρδίαν σου, ὅτι ὡς καί γε σὺ κατηράσω ἑτέρους. | For many times he shall trespass against thee, and repeatedly shall he afflict thine heart; for thus also hast thou cursed others. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Πάντα ταῦτα ἐπείρασα ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ· εἶπα· σοφισθήσομαι, | All these things have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. |
|
24
|
24
|
| καὶ αὐτὴ ἐμακρύνθη ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ μακρὰν ὑπὲρ ὃ ἦν, καὶ βαθὺ βάθος, τίς εὑρήσει αὐτό; | That which is far beyond what was, and a great depth, who shall find it out? |
|
25
|
25
|
| ἐκύκλωσα ἐγώ, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου τοῦ γνῶναι καὶ τοῦ κατασκέψασθαι καὶ τοῦ ζητῆσαι σοφίαν καὶ ψῆφον καὶ τοῦ γνῶναι ἀσεβοῦς ἀφροσύνην καὶ ὀχληρίαν καὶ περιφοράν. | I and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account of things, and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man. |
|
26
|
26
|
| καὶ εὑρίσκω ἐγὼ αὐτὴν καὶ ἐρῶ πικρότερον ὑπὲρ θάνατον, σὺν τὴν γυναῖκα, ἥτις ἐστὶ θήρευμα καὶ σαγῆναι καρδία αὐτῆς, δεσμὸς εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς· ἀγαθὸς πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξαιρεθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἁμαρτάνων συλληφθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ. | And I find her to be, and I will pronounce to be more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, who has a band in her hands: he that is good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her. |
|
27
|
27
|
| ἰδὲ τοῦτο εὗρον, εἶπεν ὁ ἐκκλησιαστής, μία τῇ μιᾷ τοῦ εὑρεῖν λογισμόν, | Behold, this have I found, said the Preacher, seeking by one at a time to find out the account, |
|
28
|
28
|
| ὃν ἐπεζήτησεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· καὶ ἄνθρωπον ἕνα ἀπὸ χιλίων εὗρον καὶ γυναῖκα ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐχ εὗρον. | which my soul sought after, but I found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all these I have not found. |
|
29
|
29
|
| πλὴν ἰδὲ τοῦτο εὗρον, ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς σὺν τὸν ἄνθρωπον εὐθῆ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐζήτησαν λογισμοὺς πολλούς. | But, behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices. Who knows the wise? and who knows the interpretation of a saying? |
