Διοτι απαν τουτο εσκεφθην εν τη καρδια μου, δια να εξιχνιασω απαν τουτο, οτι οι δικαιοι και οι σοφοι, και τα εργα αυτων, ειναι εν χειρι Θεου· δεν υπαρχει ανθρωπος γνωριζων, ειτε αγαπη θελει εισθαι ειτε μισος· τα παντα ειναι εμπροσθεν αυτων.
Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.

Παντα συμβαινουσιν επισης εις παντας· εν συναντημα ειναι εις τον δικαιον και εις τον ασεβη, εις τον αγαθον και εις τον καθαρον και εις τον ακαθαρτον, και εις τον θυσιαζοντα και εις τον μη θυσιαζοντα· ως ο αγαθος, ουτω και ο αμαρτωλος· ο ομνυων ως ο φοβουμενος τον ορκον.
There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that they go to the dead.

Τουτο ειναι το κακον μεταξυ παντων των γινομενων υπο τον ηλιον, οτι εν συναντημα ειναι εις παντας· και μαλιστα η καρδια των υιων των ανθρωπων ειναι πληρης κακιας, και αφροσυνη ειναι εν τη καρδια αυτων ενοσω ζωσι, και μετα ταυτα υπαγουσι προς τους νεκρους.

Χαιρου ζωην μετα της γυναικος, την οποιαν ηγαπησας, πασας τας ημερας της ζωης της ματαιοτητος σου, αιτινες σοι εδοθησαν υπο τον ηλιον, πασας τας ημερας της ματαιοτητος σου· διοτι τουτο ειναι η μερις σου εν τη ζωη και εν τω μοχθω σου, τον οποιον μοχθεις υπο τον ηλιον.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.

Επεστρεψα και ειδον υπο τον ηλιον, οτι ο δρομος δεν ειναι εις τους ταχυποδας, ουδε ο πολεμος εις τους δυνατους, αλλ' ουδε ο αρτος εις τους σοφους, αλλ' ουδε τα πλουτη εις τους νοημονας, αλλ' ουδε η χαρις εις τους αξιους· διοτι καιρος και περιστασις συναντα εις παντας αυτους.
For surely man also knows not his time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.
