Pridigar 1
1 Besede Pridigarja, Davidovega sina, kralja v Jeruzalemu.
[the] words of Teacher [the] son of David king in Jerusalem.
2 »Ničevost ničevosti, « pravi Pridigar, »ničevost ničevosti; vse je ničevost.«
Futility of futilities he said Teacher futility of futilities everything [is] futility.
3 Kakšno korist ima človek od vsega svojega truda, ki se ga loteva pod soncem?
What? profit [belongs] to humankind in all toil his that he toils under the sun.
4 En rod mineva in drug rod prihaja, toda zemlja ostaja na veke.
A generation [is] going and a generation [is] coming and the earth for ever [is] continuing.
5 Tudi sonce vzhaja in sonce gre dol in hiti k svojemu kraju, kjer vstaja.
And it rises the sun and it goes the sun and to place its [is] panting [is] rising it there.
6 Veter gre proti jugu in se obrača k severu, nenehno se vrti naokoli in veter se ponovno vrača, glede na svoje kroge.
[it is] going To [the] south and [it is] circling to [the] north circling around - circling around [is] going the wind and on circuits its [is] returning the wind.
7 Vse reke tečejo v morje, vendar morje ni polno; na kraj, od koder reke prihajajo, tja se ponovno vrnejo.
All the rivers [are] going to the sea and the sea not it [is] full to [the] place where the rivers [are] going there they [are] returning to go.
8 Vse stvari so polne truda, človek tega ne more izreči. Oko ni nasičeno z gledanjem niti uho nasičeno s poslušanjem.
All things [are] wearisome not he is able anyone to speak [them] not it is satisfied an eye by seeing and not it is filled an ear from hearing.
9 Stvar, ki je bila, to je ta, ki bo in to, kar je storjeno, je to, kar bo storjeno, in pod soncem ni nobene nove stvari.
Whatever it has been it [is] which will be and whatever (which has been done *L(abh)*) it [is] which will be done and there not [is] any new [thing] under the sun.
10 Ali je katerakoli stvar, o čemer bi bilo lahko rečeno: »Glej, to je novo? To je bilo že od starih časov, ki so bili pred nami.«
[is] there? Anything that anyone will say see this [is] new it already it has been to ancient times which it was from to before us.
11 Ni spominjanja o prejšnjih stvareh niti ne bo kakršnegakoli spominjanja o stvareh, ki pridejo s tistimi, ki bodo prišle potem.
There not [is] remembrance of the former [things] and also of the subsequent [things] that they will be not it will be of them remembrance with who will be to the later [time].
12 Jaz, Pridigar, sem bil kralj nad Izraelom v Jeruzalemu.
I Teacher I was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 Izročil sem svoje srce, da išče in preiskuje z modrostjo glede vseh stvari, ki so storjene pod nebom. To bolečo muko je Bog izročil človeškim sinovom, da bi bili vežbani s tem.
And I gave heart my to study and to discover by wisdom on all that it has been done under the heavens it - [is] a task of evil [which] he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
14 Videl sem vsa dela, ki so storjena pod soncem in glej, vse je ničevost in draženje duha.
I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun and there! everything [is] futility and striving of wind.
15 To, kar je skrivljeno, ne more biti izravnano; in to, kar je pomanjkljivo, ne more biti prešteto.
[something] bent Not it is able to become straight and something missing not it is able to be numbered.
16 Posvetoval sem se s svojim lastnim srcem, rekoč: »Glej! Prišel sem k velikemu premoženju in prejel sem več modrosti kakor vsi tisti, ki so bili pred menoj v Jeruzalemu. Da, moje srce je imelo sijajno izkušnjo modrosti in spoznanja.
I have spoken I with heart my saying I here! I have made great and I have increased wisdom above every [one] who he was before me over Jerusalem and heart my it has seen much wisdom and knowledge.
17 Izročil sem svoje srce, da spoznam modrost in da spoznam norost in neumnost. Zaznal sem, da je tudi to draženje duha.
And I gave! heart my to know wisdom and to know madness and folly I knew that also this it [is] a striving of wind.
18 Kajti v mnogi modrosti je mnogo žalosti in kdor povečuje spoznanje, povečuje bridkost.«
For [is] in abundance of wisdom abundance of frustration so someone may increase knowledge he will increase pain.
