HOLY BIBLE: Ecclesiastes 11 (original) (raw)

7 καὶ γλυκὺ τὸ φῶς καὶ ἀγαθὸν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς τοῦ βλέπειν σὺν τὸν ἥλιον 8 ὅτι καὶ ἐὰν ἔτη πολλὰ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς εὐφρανθήσεται καὶ μνησθήσεται τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ σκότους ὅτι πολλαὶ ἔσονται πᾶν τὸ ἐρχόμενον ματαιότης 9 εὐφραίνου νεανίσκε ἐν νεότητί σου καὶ ἀγαθυνάτω σε ἡ καρδία σου ἐν ἡμέραις νεότητός σου καὶ περιπάτει ἐν ὁδοῖς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐν ὁράσει ὀφθαλμῶν σου καὶ γνῶθι ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις ἄξει σε ὁ θεὸς ἐν κρίσει 10 καὶ ἀπόστησον θυμὸν ἀπὸ καρδίας σου καὶ παράγαγε πονηρίαν ἀπὸ σαρκός σου ὅτι ἡ νεότης καὶ ἡ ἄνοια ματαιότης

7 Ay, it is good to look upon, the light of day; never was eye yet but loved to see the sun. 8 Only be thy years never so many, never so happy, do not forget the dark days that are coming, the long days, when frustration will be the end of it all. 9 While thou art young, take thy fill of manhood’s pride, let thy heart beat high with youth, follow where thought leads and inclination beckons, but remember that for all this God will call thee to account. 10 Rid thy heart, then, of resentment, thy nature of ill humours; youth and pleasures, they are so quickly gone!

7

Dulce lumen,
et delectabile est oculis videre solem.

8
Si annis multis vixerit homo,
et in his omnibus lætatus fuerit,
meminisse debet tenebrosi temporis, et dierum multorum,
qui cum venerint, vanitatis arguentur præterita. 9
Lætare ergo, juvenis, in adolescentia tua,
et in bono sit cor tuum in diebus juventutis tuæ:
et ambula in viis cordis tui,
et in intuitu oculorum tuorum,
et scito quod pro omnibus his adducet te Deus in judicium. 10
Aufer iram a corde tuo,
et amove malitiam a carne tua:
adolescentia enim et voluptas vana sunt.
