1 Ja rekoh u srcu svom: daj da te okušam veseljem; uživaj dobra. Ali gle, i to bješe taština.
I said I in heart my come! please let me put to [the] test you with pleasure and look on good and there! also it [was] futility.
2 Smijehu rekoh: luduješ; i veselju: šta to radiš?
Of laughter I said [it is] folly and of pleasure what? this [is it] doing.
3 Razmišljah u srcu svom da puštam tijelo svoje na piæe, i srcem svojim upravljajuæi mudro da se držim ludosti dokle ne vidim šta bi dobro bilo sinovima ljudskim da èine pod nebom dok su živi.
I searched in heart my to gratify with wine flesh my and heart my [was] guiding with wisdom and to take hold on folly until that I saw where? this [is] good for [the] children of humankind which they will do under the heavens [the] number of [the] days of lives their.
4 Velika djela uèinih: sazidah sebi kuæe, nasadih sebi vinograde;
I made great works my I built for myself houses I planted for myself vineyards.
5 Naèinih sebi vrtove i voænjake, i nasadih u njima svakojakih drveta rodnijeh;
I made for myself gardens and parks and I planted in them tree[s] of every fruit.
6 Naèinih sebi jezera vodena da zaljevam iz njih šumu gdje rastu drveta;
I made for myself pools of water to water from them a forest sprouting of trees.
7 Nabavih sebi sluga i sluškinja, i imah sluga roðenijeh u kuæi mojoj; i imah goveda i ovaca više od svijeh koji biše prije mene u Jerusalimu;
I acquired [male] slaves and female slaves and sons of house he belonged to me also livestock herd[s] and flock[s] [surely] a multitude belonged to me more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.
8 Takoðer nakupih sebi srebra i zlata i zaklada od careva i zemalja; nabavih sebi pjevaèa i pjevaèica i milina ljudskih, i sprava muzièkih svakojakih.
I gathered for myself also silver and gold and treasure of kings and provinces I acquired for myself male singers and female singers and [the] delights of [the] children of humankind breast and breasts.
9 I tako postah veæi i silniji od svijeh koji biše prije mene u Jerusalimu; i mudrost moja osta sa mnom.
And I became great and I increased more than any who was before me in Jerusalem also wisdom my it remained to me.
10 I što god željahu oèi moje, ne branjah im niti ukraæivah srcu svojemu kakoga veselja, nego se srce moje veseljaše sa svakoga truda mojega, i to mi bijaše dio od svakoga truda mojega.
And all that they asked eyes my not I withheld from them not I restrained heart my from any pleasure for heart my [was] joyful from all toil my and this it was reward my from all toil my.
11 A kad pogledah na sva djela svoja što uradiše ruke moje, i na trud kojim se trudih da uradim, gle, sve bješe taština i muka duhu, i nema koristi pod suncem.
And I turned I on all works my that had done hands my and on the toil that I had toiled to do and there! everything [was] futility and striving of wind and there not [was] profit under the sun.
12 Tada se obratih da vidim mudrost i ludost i bezumlje, jer šta bi èinio èovjek koji bi nastao poslije cara? što je veæ uèinjeno.
And I turned I to consider wisdom and madness and folly for - what? [is] the person who will come after the king [that] which already people have done it.
13 I vidjeh da je bolja mudrost od ludosti, kao što je bolja svjetlost od mraka.
And I saw I that there [is] advantage of wisdom more than folly like [the] advantage of light more than darkness.
14 Mudri ima oèi u glavi, a bezumni ide po mraku; ali takoðer doznah da jednako biva svjema.
The wise [person] eyes his [are] in head his and the fool in darkness [is] walking and I knew also I that fate one it will happen to all of them.
15 Zato rekoh u srcu svom: meni æe biti kao bezumniku što biva; šta æe mi dakle pomoæi što sam mudar? I rekoh u srcu svom: i to je taština.
And I said I in heart my like [the] fate of the fool also me it will happen to me and why? have I become wise I then excessively and I said in heart my that also this [is] futility.
16 Jer se neæe spominjati mudarac kao ni bezumnik dovijeka; jer što sada jest, sve se zaboravlja poslije, i mudarac umire kao i bezumnik.
For there not [is] remembrance of the wise man with the fool for a long time in that already the days coming everything it has been forgotten and how! he will die the wise [person] with the fool.
17 Zato mi omrze život, jer mi nije milo što biva pod suncem, jer je sve taština i muka duhu.
And I hated life for [was] evil on me the work that was done under the sun for everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
18 I omrze mi sav trud moj oko kojega se trudih pod suncem, jer æu ga ostaviti èovjeku koji æe nastati nakon mene.
And I hated I all toil my that I [was] a laborer under the sun that I will leave it to the person who will be after me.
19 I ko zna hoæe li biti mudar ili lud? i opet æe biti gospodar od svega truda mojega oko kojega se trudih i mudrovah pod suncem. I to je taština.
And who? [is] knowing ¿ a wise [person] will he be or? a fool so he may have power over all toil my that I have toiled and that I worked skillfully under the sun also this [is] futility.
20 Zato doðoh na to da mi srce izgubi nadanje o svakom trudu oko kojega se trudih pod suncem.
And I turned I to make despair heart my on all the toil that I have toiled under the sun.
21 Jer ima ljudi koji se trude mudro i razumno i pravo, pa to ostavljaju u dio drugome koji se nije trudio oko toga. I to je taština i veliko zlo.
If there [was] a person who toil his [was] with wisdom and with knowledge and with skill and to a person who not he toiled in it he will give it portion his also this [is] futility and an evil great.
22 Jer šta ima èovjek od svega truda svoga i od muke srca svoga, koju podnosi pod suncem?
For what? [is] becoming to the person in all toil his and in [the] striving of heart his that he [was] a laborer under the sun.

For all days his [are] pains and [is] vexation task his also in the night not it rests heart his also this [is] futility it.
24 Nije li dakle dobro èovjeku da jede i pije i da gleda da mu je duši dobro od truda njegova? Ja vidjeh i to da je iz ruke Božije.
There not [is] good for person that he will eat and he will drink and he will show self his good in toil his also this I have seen I that [is] from [the] hand of God it.
25 Jer ko je jeo i uživao više nego ja?
For who? will he eat and who? will he enjoy outside from me.
26 Jer èovjeku koji mu je po volji daje mudrost i razum i radost, a grješniku daje muku da sabira i skuplja da da onome koji je po volji Bogu. I to je taština i muka duhu.
For to anyone who [is] good before him he gives wisdom and knowledge and joy and to the sinner he gives a task to gather and to collect to give [it] to a [person] good before God also this [is] futility and striving of wind.
