< Pridigar 2 >
1 V svojem srcu sem rekel: »Pojdi sedaj, preizkusil te bom z veseljem, zato uživaj zadovoljstvo.« Glej, tudi to je ničevost.
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 O smehu sem rekel: » To je zmešano.« O veselju: »Kaj to počne?«
Of laughter I said [it is] folly and of pleasure what? this [is it] doing.
3 V svojem srcu sem iskal, da se izročim vinu in vendar sem seznanjal svoje srce z modrostjo in se poprijel neumnosti, dokler ne bi videl, kaj je bilo to dobro za človeške sinove, kar naj bi storili pod nebom vse dni svojega življenja.
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 Naredil sem si velika dela. Zgradil sem si hiše, si zasadil vinograde,
I made great works my I built for myself houses I planted for myself vineyards.
5 naredil sem si vrtove in sadovnjake in vanje sem zasadil vse vrste sadnih dreves.
I made for myself gardens and parks and I planted in them tree[s] of every fruit.
6 Naredil sem si vodne tolmune, da z njimi namakam gozd, ki rojeva drevesa.
I made for myself pools of water to water from them a forest sprouting of trees.
7 Pridobil sem si služabnike in dekle in imel služabnike rojene v moji hiši. Prav tako sem imel veliko posesti z veliko in malo živine, povrh vsega kar je bilo v Jeruzalemu pred menoj.
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 Zbral sem si tudi srebro in zlato in izvoljen zaklad od kraljev in od provinc. Dobil sem si pevce in pevke in radosti človeških sinov, kakor glasbene instrumente in to od vseh vrst.
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 Tako sem bil velik in narasel bolj kakor vsi, ki so bili pred menoj v Jeruzalemu. Tudi moja modrost je ostala z menoj.
And I became great and I increased more than any who was before me in Jerusalem also wisdom my it remained to me.
10 Karkoli so si moje oči želele, jim tega nisem preprečil, svojega srca nisem zadržal pred nobeno radostjo, kajti moje srce se je veselilo v vsem mojem trudu in to je bil moj delež vsega mojega truda.
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 Potem sem pogledal na vsa dela, ki sta jih moji roki izvršili in na trud, ki sem se ga trudil delati. Glej, vse je bilo ničevost in draženje duha in ni bilo koristi pod soncem.
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 Obrnil sem se, da bi gledal modrost, norost in neumnost, kajti kaj lahko stori človek, ki prihaja za kraljem? Celó to, kar je bilo že narejeno.
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 Potem sem videl, da modrost prekaša neumnost, kolikor svetloba prekaša temo.
And I saw I that there [is] advantage of wisdom more than folly like [the] advantage of light more than darkness.
14 Oči modrega človeka so v njegovi glavi, toda bedak hodi v temi. Zaznal pa sem tudi, da se vsem tem dogaja en dogodek.
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 Potem sem v svojem srcu rekel: »Kakor se dogaja bedaku, tako se dogaja celo meni in zakaj sem bil potem modrejši?« Nato sem rekel v svojem srcu, da je tudi to ničevost.
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 Kajti na veke ni spomina na modrega bolj kakor na bedaka. Glede na to, da kar je sedaj, bo v dneh, ki bodo prišli, vse pozabljeno. In kako umira moder človek? Kakor bedak.
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 sem zasovražil življenje, ker mi je delo, ki je opravljeno pod soncem, mučno, kajti vse je ničevost in draženje duha.
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 Da, zasovražil sem ves svoj trud, ki sem se ga lotil pod soncem, ker naj bi ga zapustil človeku, ki bo za menoj.
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 Kdo ve, ali bo moder človek ali bedak? Vendar bo imel oblast nad vsem mojim trudom, v čemer sem se trudil in v čemer sem se pokazal modrega pod soncem. Tudi to je ničevost.
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 sem odšel naokrog, da svojemu srcu povzročim, da obupuje od vsega truda, ki sem ga prijel pod soncem.
And I turned I to make despair heart my on all the toil that I have toiled under the sun.
21 Kajti je človek, čigar trud je v modrosti, v spoznanju in v nepristranskosti, vendar bo človeku, ki se ni trudil s tem, to zapustil za njegov delež. Tudi to je ničevost in 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 Kajti kaj ima človek od vsega svojega truda in od draženja svojega srca, v čemer se je trudil pod soncem?
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.
23 Kajti vsi njegovi dnevi so bridkosti in njegova muka žalost, da, njegovo srce si ponoči ne vzame počitka. Tudi to je ničevost.
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 Nič ni boljšega za človeka, kakor da naj bi jedel in pil ter da naj bi svojo dušo pripravil uživati dobro v svojem trudu. Tudi to sem videl, da je bilo to iz Božje roke.
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 Kajti kdo lahko jé ali kdo lahko hiti k temu bolj kakor jaz?
For who? will he eat and who? will he enjoy outside from me.
26 Kajti Bog daje človeku, ki je dober v njegovem pogledu, modrost, spoznanje in radost, toda grešniku daje muko, da zbira in kopiči, da bi lahko dal tistemu, ki je dober pred Bogom. Tudi to je ničevost in draženje duha.
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.
