27 Siehe, das habe ich gefunden, sprach der Prediger,
indem ich eins ums andere prüfte, um zum Endergebnis zu kommen.
28 Was aber meine Seele noch immer sucht, habe ich nicht gefunden;
einen Mann habe ich unter Tausenden gefunden;
aber ein Weib habe ich unter diesen allen nicht gefunden!
29 Nur allein, siehe, das habe ich gefunden,
daß Gott den Menschen aufrichtig gemacht hat; sie aber suchen viele Künste.

27 “See, this is what I found,” says the Preacher,

“adding one thing to another to find the sum,
28     which my soul still seeks
    but I do not find:
One man among a thousand I have found,
    but a woman among all these I have not found.
29 See, this only have I found:
    that God made man upright,
    but they have sought out many schemes.”

27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[a](A) “this is what I have discovered:

“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28     while I was still searching
    but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
    but not one upright woman(B) among them all.
29 This only have I found:
    God created mankind upright,
    but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
