Ecclesiastes 4
1 And I returned I and I saw all the oppression which [were being] done under the sun and there! - [the] tear[s] of the oppressed and not [belonged] to them a comforter and [was] from [the] hand of oppressors their power and there not [belonged] to them a comforter.
Opet vidjeh sve nepravde koje se èine pod suncem, i gle, suze onijeh kojima se èini nepravda, i nemaju ko bi ih potješio ni snage da se izbave iz ruku onijeh koji im èine nepravdu; nemaju nikoga da ih potješi.
2 And I congratulated I the dead who already they had died more than the living who they [were] alive still.
Zato hvalih mrtve koji veæ pomriješe više nego žive koji još žive.
3 And [is] good more than both of them [one] who still not he has been [one] who not he has seen the activity evil which it is done under the sun.
Ali je bolji i od jednijeh i od drugih onaj koji još nije postao, koji nije vidio zla što biva pod suncem.
4 And I considered I all [the] toil and all [the] skill of the work that it [is] envy of everyone from neighbor his also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
Jer vidjeh svaki trud i svako dobro djelo da od njega biva zavist èovjeku od bližnjega njegova. I to je taština i muka duhu.
5 The fool [is] folding hands his and [is] eating own flesh his.
Bezumnik sklapa ruke svoje, i jede svoje tijelo.
6 [is] good Fullness of hand of quietness more than [the] fullness of two hands toil and striving of wind.
Bolja je jedna grst u miru nego obje grsti s trudom i mukom u duhu.
7 And I returned I and I saw futility under the sun.
Opet vidjeh taštinu pod suncem:
8 There [was] one [person] and there not [was] a second also a son and a brother not [belonged] to him and there not [was] an end to all toil his also (eye his *Q(K)*) not it was satisfied wealth and for whom? - [am] I a laborer and depriving self my from good also this [is] futility and [is] a task of evil it.
Ima ko je sam, inokosan, nema ni sina ni brata, i opet nema kraja trudu njegovu, i oèi njegove ne mogu da se nasite bogatstva; a ne misli: za koga se muèim i oduzimam svojoj duši dobra? I to je taština i zao posao.
9 [are] good Two [people] more than one that there for them [is] a reward good for toil their.
Bolje je dvojici nego jednomu, jer imaju dobru dobit od svoga truda.
10 That except they will fall down the one he will raise companion his and woe! to him the one who will fall down and there not [is] a second [person] to raise him.
Jer ako jedan padne, drugi æe podignuti druga svojega; a teško jednomu! ako padne, nema drugoga da ga podigne.
11 Also if they will lie down two [people] and it will be warm to them and to one [person] how? will it be warm.
Jošte ako dvojica spavaju zajedno, grije jedan drugoga; a jedan kako æe se zgrijati?
12 And though someone will overpower him the one [person] the two [people] they will stand before him and the thread threefold not quickly it will be torn apart.
I ako bi ko nadjaèao jednoga, dvojica æe mu odoljeti; i trostruka vrvca ne kida se lako.
13 [is] good A youth poor and wise more than a king old and a fool who not he knows to be warned still.
Bolje je dijete ubogo a mudro nego car star a bezuman, koji se veæ ne zna pouèiti.
14 For from [the] house of the prisoners he came out to become king for also in own kingdom his he had been born a poor [person].
Jer jedan izlazi iz tamnice da caruje, a drugi koji se rodi da caruje osiromaši.
15 I saw all the living who are walking about under the sun with the youth second who he will arise in place of him.
Vidjeh sve žive koji hode pod suncem gdje pristaju za djetetom drugim, koje æe stupiti na njegovo mjesto.
16 There not [is] an end to all the people to all [those] whom he was before them also the subsequent [people] not they will rejoice in him for also this [is] futility and a striving of wind.
Nema kraja narodu koji bijaše pred njim, a koji poslije nastanu neæe se radovati njemu. I to je taština i muka duhu.
