Ecclesiastes - Chapter: 3


3:1	Euery thinge hath a tyme, yee all that is vnder the heauen, hath his conuenient season.
3:2	There is a tyme to be borne, and a tyme to dye. There is a tyme to plante and a tyme to pleke vp the thing, that is planted.
3:3	A time to slaye, and a time to make whole. A tyme to breake downe, & a tyme to build vp.
3:4	A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse.
3:5	A time to cast awaye stones, and a tyme to gather stones together. A tyme to embrace, and a tyme to refrayne from embracing.
3:6	A tyme to wynne, and a tyme to lese. A tyme to spare, and a tyme to spende.
3:7	A tyme to cut in peces, and a tyme to sowe together.
3:8	A tyme to loue, and a tyme to hate.
3:9	What hath a man els (that doth any thing) but werynesse & labour?
3:10	For as touchinge the trauayle and carefulnesse whych God hath geuen vnto men, I se that he hath geuen it them, to be excercised in it.
3:11	All thys hath he ordened maruelous goodly, to euery thing his due tyme. He hath planted ignoraunce also in the hertes of men, that they shuld not comprehende the ground of hys worckes, which he doth from the begynning to the ende.
3:12	So I perceaued, that in these thinges there is nothing better for a man, then to be mery and to do well so longe as he lyueth.
3:13	For all that a man eateth & dryncketh, yee whatsoeuer a man enioyeth of all his labour, that same is a gyfte of God.
3:14	I consydered also that whatsoeuer God doth, it continueth for euer and that nothing can be put vnto it, nor taken from it, and that God doth it to the intent, that men shuld feare hym.
3:15	The thing that hath bene is nowe: and the thyng that is for to come, hath bene afore time, for God restoreth agayne the thynge that was past
3:16	Moreouer, I sawe vnder the Sunne vngodlynesse in the steade of iudgement, and iniquyte in steade of ryghteousnesse.
3:17	Then thought I in my minde: God shal separate the ryghteous from the vngodly, and then shalbe the tyme and iudgement of all councels and worckes.
3:18	I commened with myne awne hert also, concernynge the children of men: how God hath chosen them, & yet letteth them apeare: as though they were beastes:
3:19	for it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, and as the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: yee they haue both one maner of breth: so that (in this) a man hath no preemynence aboue a beast, but all are subdued vnto vanytie.
3:20	They go all vnto one place, for as they be all of dust, so shall they all turne vnto dust agayne.
3:21	Who knoweth the sprete of man that goeth vpwarde, and the breth of the beast that goeth downe into the earth?
3:22	Wherfore I perceaue, that there is nothing better for a man, then to be ioyfull in hys laboure, for that is hys porcyon. But who wyll brynge him to se the thinge that shall come after hym?


3:1	Alle thingis han tyme, and alle thingis vndur sunne passen bi her spaces.
3:2	Tyme of birthe, and time of diyng; tyme to plaunte, and tyme to drawe vp that that is plauntid.
3:3	Tyme to sle, and tyme to make hool; tyme to distrie, and tyme to bilde.
3:4	Tyme to wepe, and tyme to leiye; tyme to biweile, and tyme to daunse.
3:5	Tyme to scatere stoonys, and tyme to gadere togidere; tyme to colle, and tyme to be fer fro collyngis.
3:6	Tyme to wynne, and tyme to leese; tyme to kepe, and tyme to caste awei.
3:7	Tyme to kitte, and tyme to sewe togidere; tyme to be stille, and tyme to speke.
3:8	Tyme of loue, and tyme of hatrede; tyme of batel, and tyme of pees.
3:9	What hath a man more of his trauel?
3:10	I siy the turment, which God yaf to the sones of men, that thei be occupied therynne.
3:11	God made alle thingis good in her tyme, and yaf the world to disputyng of hem, that a man fynde not the werk which God hath wrouyt fro the bigynnyng `til in to the ende.
3:12	And Y knew that no thing was betere `to a man, `no but to be glad, and to do good werkis in his lijf.
3:13	For whi ech man that etith and drinkith, and seeth good of his trauel; this is the yifte of God.
3:14	I haue lerned that alle werkis, whiche God made, lasten stidfastli `til in to with outen ende; we moun not adde ony thing to tho, nether take awei fro tho thingis, whiche God made, that he be dred.
3:15	That thing that is maad, dwellith perfitli; tho thingis that schulen come, weren bifore; and God restorith that, that is goon.
3:16	I siy vndur sunne vnfeithfulnesse in the place of doom; and wickidnesse in the place of riytfulnesse.
3:17	And Y seide in myn herte, The Lord schal deme a iust man, and an vnfeithful man; and the tyme of ech thing schal be thanne.
3:18	I seide in myn herte of the sones of men, that God schulde preue hem, and schewe that thei ben lijk vnresonable beestis.
3:19	Therfor oon is the perisching of man and of beestis, and euene condicioun is of euer eithir; as a man dieth, `so and tho beestis dien; alle beestis brethen in lijk maner, and a man hath no thing more than a beeste.
3:20	Alle thingis ben suget to vanyte, and alle thingis goen to o place; tho ben maad of erthe, and tho turnen ayen togidere in to erthe.
3:21	Who knowith, if the spirit of the sones of Adam stieth vpward, and if the spirit of beestis goith dounward?
3:22	And Y perseyuede that no thing is betere, than that a man be glad in his werk, and that this be his part; for who schal brynge hym, that he knowe thingis that schulen come after hym?


3:1	Every thinge hath a tyme, yee all that is vnder the heauen, hath is conuenient season.
3:2	There is a tyme to be borne, and a tyme to dye. There is a tyme to plate, and a tyme to plucke vp the thinge, yt is planted:
3:3	A tyme to slaye, and a tyme to make whole: A tyme to breake downe, and a tyme to buylde vp:
3:4	A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse:
3:5	A tyme to cast awaye stones, and a tyme to gather stones together: A tyme to enbrace, & a tyme to refrayne from enbracynge:
3:6	A tyme to wynne, and a tyme to lese: A tyme to spare, and a tyme to spende:
3:7	A tyme to cutt in peces, and a tyme to sowe together: A tyme to kepe sylece, and a tyme to speake:
3:8	A tyme to loue, & a tyme to hate: A tyme of warre, and a tyme of peace.
3:9	What hath a ma els (that doth eny thinge) but weerynesse and laboure?
3:10	For as touchinge the trauayle and carefulnesse which God hath geuen vnto me, I se that he hath geuen it them, to be exercised in it.
3:11	All this hath he ordened maruelous goodly, to euery thinge his due tyme. He hath plated ignoraunce also in the hertes of men, yt they shulde not fynde out ye grounde of his workes, which he doth from ye beginninge to ye ende.
3:12	So I perceaued, yt in these thinges there is nothinge better for a man, the to be mery & to do well so longe as he lyueth.
3:13	For all yt a man eateth & drynketh, yee what so euer a ma enioyeth of all his labor, ye same is a gift of God.
3:14	I cosidered also yt what so euer God doth, it cotinueth for euer, & yt nothinge can be put vnto it ner take from it: & yt God doth it to ye intent, yt men shulde feare him.
3:15	The thinge yt hath bene, is now: & the thinge yt is for to come, hath bene afore tyme, for God restoreth agayne the thinge that was past.
3:16	Morouer, I sawe vnder ye Sonne, vngodlynesse in the steade of iudgment, & iniquite in steade of rightuousnesse.
3:17	Then thought I in my mynde: God shal separate the rightuous from the vngodly, & then shal be the tyme & iudgmet of all councels & workes.
3:18	I comoned wt myne owne herte also cocernynge the childre of men: how God hath chosen them, and yet letteth the apeare, as though they were beastes:
3:19	for it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, & as the one dyeth, so dyeth ye other: yee they haue both one maner of breth, so yt (in this) a man hath no preemynence aboue a beest, but all are subdued vnto vanite.
3:20	They go all vnto one place, for as they be all of dust, so shal they all turne vnto dust againe.
3:21	Who knoweth the sprete of man yt goeth vpwarde, and the breth of the beest yt goeth downe in to the earth?
3:22	Wherfore I perceaue, yt there is nothyinge better for a man, then to be ioyfull in his laboure, for that is his porcion. But who wil brynge him to se the thinge, that shal come after him?
