Ecclesiastes Chapter 5 - | Early Church Bible

1: Guard [G5442] the [G3588] your foot [G4228][G1473] whenever [G1722][G3739] you should go [G4198] into [G1519] house [G3624] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] and [G2532] [are] near [G1451] the [G3588] to hear ! [be] above [G5228] gift [G1390] of the [G3588] fools sacrifice [G2378] [Let] your [G1473], for [G3754] they not [G3756] are knowing [G1492] the [G3588] to do [G4160] bad [G2556].
2: Do not [G3361] hasten [G4692] with [G1909] your mouth [G4750][G1473], and [G2532] your heart [G2588][G1473] let not [G3361] hasten the [G3588] to bring forth [G1627] a word [G3056] before [G4253] presence [G4383] of the [G3588] God '[G2316]! For [G3754] the [G3588] God '[G2316] [is] in [G1722] the [G3588] raised-place-above (sky) '[G3772] upward , and [G2532] you [G1473] [are] upon [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093]; Upon [G1909] this [G3778] let be the [G3588] your words [G3056][G1473] few [G3641]!
3: For [G3754] comes [through [G3854] a dream [G1798] in [G1722] a multitude [G4128] of testing [G3986]; and [G2532] voice [G5456] of a fool in [G1722] a multitude [G4128] of words [G3056].
4: As [G2531] when you vow [G2172] a vow [G2171] the [G3588] to God '[G2316], you should not [G3361] pass time [G5549] the [G3588] to render it [G1473], for [G3754] not [G3756] is [his] will [G2307] in [G1722] foolish [vows . You [G1473] then [G3767], as much as [G3745] you should have vowed [G2172], render !
5: Better the [G3588] to not [G3361] make a vow [G2172] for you [G1473], than [G2228] for the [G3588] you to make a vow [G2172][G1473] and [G2532] not [G3361] repay .
6: You should not [G3361] give [G1325] the [G3588] your mouth [G4750][G1473] the [G3588] to lead into sin the [G3588] your flesh [G4561][G1473]; and [G2532] you should not [G3361] say [G2036] before [G4253] presence [G4383] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] that [G3754], It is in ignorance ; lest [G2443][G3361] should be provoked to anger [G3710] the [G3588] God '[G2316] at [G1909] your voice [G5456][G1473], and [G2532] should utterly destroy [G1311] the [things] [G3588] made [G4161] by your hands [G5495][G1473].
7: For [G3754] in [G1722] a multitude [G4128] of dreams [G1798], and [G2532] follies [G3153], and [G2532] words [G3056] many [G4183], that [G3754] with [G4862] the [G3588] God '[G2316] you should fear [G5399].
8: If [G1437] extortion of needy [G3993] and [G2532] seizure by lawsuit [G2917] and [G2532] judicial right [G1343] you should see [G1492] in [G1722] a place [G5561], you should not [G3361] wonder [G2296] over [G1909] the [G3588] thing [G4229]; for [G3754] a high one [G5308] above [G1883] a high one [G5308] will guard [G5442], and [G2532] high ones [G5308] over [G1909] them [G1473].
9: And [G2532] abundance [G4050] of land '[G1093] for [G1909] all [G3956] is ; [even] a king [needs] of the [G3588] a field working [G2038].
10: one loving silver will not [G3756] be filled [G4130] of silver ; [nor [G2532] one who [G5100] loved in [G1722] their abundance [G4128][G1473] offspring [G1081]. And [G2532] indeed [G1065] this [G3778] [is] folly [G3153].
11: In [G1722] a multitude [G4128] of the [G3588] goodness are multiplied [G4129] the [G3588] [ones] eating [G2068] of it [G1473]; and [G2532] what [G5100] courageous [thing] is it to the [G3588] [one] having [G3844] it [G1473], but [G3754] sum of the [G3588] seeing it [G3708] with his eyes [G3788][G1473]?
12: [is] sweet [G1099] Sleep [G5258] for the [G3588] servant [G1401], if [G1487] little [G3641] or [G2532] if [G1487] much [G4183] he will eat [G2068]. And [G2532] to the [G3588] [one] being filled [G1705] the [G3588] to be rich [G4147] there is none [G3756] allowing him [G1473] the [G3588] to sleep .
13: There is a sickness which [G3739] I looked [at] [G1492] under [G5259] the [G3588] sun [G2246] -- riches [G4149] being kept [G5442] the [G3588] by [G3844] him [G1473], for [G1519] his hurt [G2549][G1473].
14: And [G2532] will be destroyed the [G3588] those riches [G4149][G1565] in [G1722] distraction an evil [G4190]; and [G2532] he engenders [G1080] a son [G5207], and [G2532] is there not [G3756] in [G1722] his hand [G5495][G1473] anything [G3762].
15: As [G2531] he came forth [G1831] from womb [G1064] of his mother [G3384][G1473] naked [G1131], he will return [G1994] the [G3588] to go [G4198] as [G5613] he comes [G2240], and [G2532] nothing [G3762] will he take [G2983] in [G1722] his effort [G3449][G1473], that [G2443] it should go [G4198] [with him] in [G1722] his hand [G5495][G1473].
16: And [G2532] indeed [G1065] this [G3778] [is] an evil [G4190] sickness ; for as [G5618][G1063] he came [G3854], so [G3779] also [G2532] he will go forth . And [G2532] what [G5100] is the [G3588] his advantage [G4050][G1473] in which [G3739] he makes an effort into [G1519] wind ?
17: And [G2532] indeed [G1065] all [G3956] the [G3588] his days [G2250][G1473] [are] in [G1722] darkness [G4655], and [G2532] in [G1722] mourning [G3997], and [G2532] rage [G2372] much [G4183], and [G2532] sickness , and [G2532] bitter anger .
18: look [G2400], I saw [G1492][G1473] good , which [G3739] is good [G2570] the [G3588] to eat [G2068] and [G2532] the [G3588] to drink [G4095]; and [G2532] the [G3588] to see [G1492] goodness in [G1722] all [G3956] his effort [G3449][G1473] in what [G3739] ever he should make an effort in under [G5259] the [G3588] sun [G2246], [in the] number of days [G2250] of his life [G2222][G1473] which [G3739] gave [G1325] to him [G1473] the [G3588] God '[G2316]. For [G3754] it [is [G1473] his portion [G3310][G1473].
19: And [G2532] indeed [G1065], every [G3956] man to whom [G3739] gave [G1325] to him [G1473] the [G3588] God '[G2316] riches [G4149] and [G2532] possessions [G5224], and [G2532] gave to him authority [G1850][G1473] the [G3588] to eat [G2068] from it [G1473], and [G2532] to take [G2983] the [G3588] his portion [G3313][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] to be glad [G2165] in [G1722] his effort [G3449][G1473]; this [G3778] a gift [G1390] of God '[G2316] is .
20: For [G3754] he will not [G3756] much [G4183] remember [G3403] the [G3588] days [G2250] of the [G3588] his life [G2222][G1473], for [G3754] the [G3588] God '[G2316] distracts [G4049] him [G1473] in [G1722] gladness [G2167] of his heart [G2588][G1473].
