Pridigar 9

1 Kajti vse to sem preudaril v svojem srcu, celo da vse to oznanim, da so pravični in modri in njihova dela v roki Boga. Noben človek ne spozna bodisi ljubezni ali sovraštva po vsem, kar je pred njimi.

For all this I have given to heart my and to make clear all this that the righteous and the wise and deeds their [are] in [the] hand of God both love as well as hatred not [is] knowing humankind everything [is] before them.

2 Vse stvari pridejo podobno k vsem: je en dogodek pravičnemu in zlobnemu; dobremu, čistemu in nečistemu; tistemu, ki daruje in tistemu, ki ne daruje; kakor je dobri, tako je grešnik; in kdor prisega, kakor tisti, ki se prisege boji.

All [is] just as for all fate one [belongs] to the righteous and to the wicked to the good (and to the evil *X*) and to the clean and to the unclean and to the [one who] sacrifices and to [one] who not he [is] sacrificing as the good [person] as the sinner the [one who] swears an oath just as an oath [one] fearing.

3 To je zlo med vsemi stvarmi, ki so storjene pod soncem, da je en dogodek za vse. Da, tudi srce človeških sinov je polno zla in dokler živijo je v njihovih srcih norost, potem pa gredo k smrti.

This - [is] an evil in all that it is done under the sun for fate one [belongs] to everyone and also [the] heart of [the] children of humankind [is] full evil and madness [is] in heart their in lives their and after it to the dead.

4 Kajti za tistega, ki je pridružen k vsem živim, je upanje, kajti živ pes je boljši kakor mrtev lev.

For who? [is [the] one] who (he is united *Q(K)*) to all the living there [is] hope for to a dog living it [is] good more than the lion dead.

5 Kajti živi vedo, da bodo umrli, toda mrtvi ne vedo ničesar niti nimajo več nobene nagrade, kajti spomin nanje je pozabljen.

For the living [are] knowing that they will die and the dead not they [are] knowing anything and not still [belongs] to them a reward for it is forgotten memory their.

6 Prav tako je njihova ljubezen, njihovo sovraštvo in njihova zavist sedaj izginila niti nimajo več deleža na veke v katerikoli stvari, ki je storjena pod soncem.

Both love their as well as hatred their as well as envy their already it has perished and a portion not [belongs] to them again for ever in all that it is done under the sun.

7 Pojdi svojo pot, svoj kruh jej z radostjo in svoje vino pij z veselim srcem, kajti Bog sedaj sprejema tvoja dela.

Go eat with gladness food your and drink with a heart good wine your for already he has taken pleasure in God deeds your.

8 Naj bodo tvoje obleke vedno bele in tvoji glavi naj ne manjka mazila.

At every time let them be clothes your white and oil on head your may not it be lacking.

9 Živi radostno, z ženo, ki jo ljubiš, vse dni življenja svoje ničevosti, ki ti je dana pod soncem vse dni tvoje ničevosti, kajti to je tvoj delež v tem življenju in v tvojem trudu, ki se ga lotevaš pod soncem.

See life with a wife whom you love all [the] days of [the] life of futility your which he has given to you under the sun all [the] days of futility your for that [is] portion your in life and in toil your which you [are] a laborer under the sun.

10 Karkoli tvoja roka najde, da stori, to stôri z vso svojo močjo, kajti v grobu, kamor greš, ni dela, niti naklepa, niti spoznanja, niti modrosti. (Sheol h7585)

All that it finds hand your to do with strength your do for there not [is] work and explanation and knowledge and wisdom in Sheol where you [are] going there towards. (Sheol h7585)

11 Vrnil sem se in videl pod soncem, da tek ni za nagle, niti bitka za močne, niti kruh za modre, niti bogastva za ljudi spoznanja, niti celo naklonjenost veščim ljudem, temveč se čas in priložnost dogajata njim vsem.

I returned and I saw under the sun that not [belongs] to the swift the race and not [belongs] to the mighty [men] the battle and also not [belongs] to wise [people] food and also not [belongs] to the understanding wealth and also not [belongs] to the knowledgeable favor for time and chance it happens to all of them.

12 Kajti tudi človek ne pozna svojega časa. Kakor ribe, ki so ujete v zlo mrežo in kakor ptice, ki so ujete v zanko, tako so človeški sinovi ujeti v zlobnem času, ko le-ta nenadoma pade nanje.

For also not he knows humankind time his like fish that [are] caught in a net evil and like birds that are caught in snare like them [are] ensnared [the] children of humankind to a time evil when that falls on them suddenly.

13 Tudi to modrost sem videl pod soncem in ta se mi je zdela velika:

Also this I have seen wisdom under the sun and [was] great it to me.

14 bilo je majhno mesto in znotraj njega malo ljudi in zoper njega je prišel velik kralj, ga oblegal in zoper njega zgradil velike branike.

A city small and men in it [were] few and he came against it a king great and he surrounded it and he built on it siege works great.

15 Torej v njem je bil najden reven, moder človek in on je s svojo modrostjo osvobodil mesto, vendar se noben človek ni spominjal tega ubogega moža.

And someone found in it a man poor wise and he delivered he the city by wisdom his and anyone not he remembered the man poor (that. *L(abh)*)

16 Potem sem rekel: »Modrost je boljša kakor moč; kljub temu je modrost revnega moža prezirana in njegove besede niso slišane.«

And I said I [is] good wisdom more than strength and [the] wisdom of the poor [person] [is] despised and words his not they [are] listened to.

17 Besede modrih ljudi se bolj slišijo v tišini kakor vpitje tistega, ki vlada med bedaki.

[the] words of Wise [people] in quietness [are] heard more than [the] cry of a ruler among fools.

18 Modrost je boljša kakor bojna orožja, toda en grešnik uničuje mnogo dobrega.

[is] good Wisdom more than weapons of war and a sinner one he will destroy good much.
