δοτε αυτη απο καρπων χειρων αυτης και αινεισθω εν πυλαις ο ανηρ αυτης

I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God^§ has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

Ecclesiastes 1:13 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

And I gave H5414 (QalPerf) my heart H3820 to seek H1875 (QalInf) and search out H8446 (QalInf) by wisdom H2451 concerning all things that are done H6213 (NiphPerf) under heaven: H8064 this sore H7451 travail H6045 hath God H430 given H5414 (QalPerf) to the sons H1121 of man H120 to be exercised H6031 (QalInf) therewith.^§

Ecclesiastes 1:13 Or, to afflict them

και εδωκα την καρδιαν μου του εκζητησαι και του κατασκεψασθαι εν τη σοφια περι παντων των γινομενων υπο τον ουρανον οτι περισπασμον πονηρον εδωκεν ο θεος τοις υιοις του ανθρωπου του περισπασθαι εν αυτω

I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.

And I gave H5414 (QalImpf) my heart H3820 to know H3045 (QalInf) wisdom, H2451 and to know H3045 (QalInf) madness H1947 and folly: H5531 I perceived H3045 (QalPerf) that this H1571 also is vexation H7475 of spirit. H7307

και εδωκα καρδιαν μου του γνωναι σοφιαν και γνωσιν παραβολας και επιστημην εγνων οτι και γε τουτ εστιν προαιρεσις πνευματος

For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

For there is H3426 a man H120 whose labour H5999 is in wisdom, H2451 and in knowledge, H1847 and in equity; H3788 yet to a man H120 that hath not laboured H5998 (QalPerf) therein shall he leave^§ H5414 (QalImpf) it for his portion. H2506 This also is vanity H1892 and a great H7227 evil. H7451

Ecclesiastes 2:21 Heb. give

οτι εστιν ανθρωπος ου μοχθος αυτου εν σοφια και εν γνωσει και εν ανδρεια και ανθρωπος ος ουκ εμοχθησεν εν αυτω δωσει αυτω μεριδα αυτου και γε τουτο ματαιοτης και πονηρια μεγαλη

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

For God giveth H5414 (QalPerf) to a man H120 that is good H2896 in his sight^§ H6440 wisdom, H2451 and knowledge, H1847 and joy: H8057 but to the sinner H2398 (QalActPtc) he giveth H5414 (QalPerf) travail, H6045 to gather H622 (QalInf) and to heap up, H3664 (QalInf) that he may give H5414 (QalInf) to him that is good H2896 before H6440 God. H430 This also is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

Ecclesiastes 2:26 Heb. before him

οτι τω ανθρωπω τω αγαθω προ προσωπου αυτου εδωκεν σοφιαν και γνωσιν και ευφροσυνην και τω αμαρτανοντι εδωκεν περισπασμον του προσθειναι και του συναγαγειν του δουναι τω αγαθω προ προσωπου του θεου οτι και γε τουτο ματαιοτης και προαιρεσις πνευματος

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

I have seen H7200 (QalPerf) the travail, H6045 which God H430 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) to the sons H1121 of men H120 to be exercised H6031 (QalInf) in it.

ειδον συν τον περισπασμον ον εδωκεν ο θεος τοις υιοις του ανθρωπου του περισπασθαι εν αυτω

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

He hath made H6213 (QalPerf) every thing beautiful H3303 in his time: H6256 also he hath set H5414 (QalPerf) the world H5769 in their heart, H3820 so that H1097 no man H120 can find out H4672 (QalImpf) the work H4639 that God H430 maketh H6213 (QalPerf) from the beginning H7218 to the end. H5490

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

Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

Keep H8104 (QalImpv) thy foot H7272 when thou goest H3212 (QalImpf) to the house H1004 of God, H430 and be more ready H7138 to hear, H8085 (QalInf) than to give H5414 (QalInf) the sacrifice H2077 of fools: H3684 for they consider H3045 (QalActPtc) not that they do H6213 (QalInf) evil. H7451

^[4:17] φυλαξον ποδα σου εν ω εαν πορευη εις οικον του θεου και εγγυς του ακουειν υπερ δομα των αφρονων θυσια σου οτι ουκ εισιν ειδοτες του ποιησαι κακον

Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Suffer H5414 (QalImpf) not thy mouth H6310 to cause thy flesh H1320 to sin; H2398 (HiphInf) neither say H559 (QalImpf) thou before H6440 the angel, H4397 that it was an error: H7684 wherefore should God H430 be angry H7107 (QalImpf) at thy voice, H6963 and destroy H2254 (PielPerf) the work H4639 of thine hands? H3027

^[5:5] μη δως το στομα σου του εξαμαρτησαι την σαρκα σου και μη ειπης προ προσωπου του θεου οτι αγνοια εστιν ινα μη οργισθη ο θεος επι φωνη σου και διαφθειρη τα ποιηματα χειρων σου

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.

Behold that which I have seen: H7200 (QalPerf) it is good H2896 and comely^§ H3303 for one to eat H398 (QalInf) and to drink, H8354 (QalInf) and to enjoy H7200 (QalInf) the good H2896 of all his labour H5999 that he taketh H5998 (QalImpf) under the sun H8121 all H4557 the days H3117 of his life,^§ H2416 which God H430 giveth H5414 (QalPerf) him: for it is his portion. H2506

Ecclesiastes 5:18a Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc.
Ecclesiastes 5:18b Heb. the number of the days

^[5:17] ιδου ο ειδον εγω αγαθον ο εστιν καλον του φαγειν και του πιειν και του ιδειν αγαθωσυνην εν παντι μοχθω αυτου ω εαν μοχθη υπο τον ηλιον αριθμον ημερων ζωης αυτου ων εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος οτι αυτο μερις αυτου

Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.

Every man H120 also to whom God H430 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) riches H6239 and wealth, H5233 and hath given him power H7980 (HiphPerf) to eat H398 (QalInf) thereof, and to take H5375 (QalInf) his portion, H2506 and to rejoice H8055 (QalInf) in his labour; H5999 this H2090 is the gift H4991 of God. H430

^[5:18] και γε πας ο ανθρωπος ω εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και εξουσιασεν αυτον του φαγειν απ αυτου και του λαβειν το μερος αυτου και του ευφρανθηναι εν μοχθω αυτου τουτο δομα θεου εστιν
