Ecclesiastes/Qohelet 6

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 I see another evil under the sun, which goes hard with people:	1 I vidjeh: ima još jedno zlo pod suncem i teško tišti ljude.
2 suppose someone has received from God riches, property, honours -- nothing at al left to wish for; butGod does not give the chance to enjoy them, and some stranger enjoys them. This is futile, and grievoussuffering too.	2 Nekomu Bog udijeli bogatstvo i blago i počasti te ima sve što mu duša poželi, ali mu ne udijeli da to i uživa, nego uživa tuđinac. To je ispraznost i grdna nevolja.
3 Or take someone who has had a hundred children and lived for many years, and, having reached oldage, has never enjoyed the good things of life and has not even got a tomb; it seems to me, a still-born child ishappier.	3 I velim: bolje je nedonošče od onoga koji bi rodio stotinu djece i živio mnogo godina, a sam se ne bi naužio dobra niti bi imao pogreba;
4 In futility it came, into darkness it departs, and in darkness will its name be buried.	4 jer je nedonošče uzalud došlo i u tamu otišlo i ime mu je tamom pokriveno;
5 It has never so much as seen or known the sun; al the same, it wil rest more easily than that person,	5 sunca čak ne vidje niti spozna – a spokojnije je od onoga.
6 who would never have known the good things of life, even by living a thousand years twice over. Do wenot al go to the same place in the end?	6 Pa kad bi takav živio i dvije tisuće godina, a svojeg dobra ne bi uživao, zar ne odlaze obojica jednako na isto mjesto?
7 Al toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is never satisfied.	7 Čovjek se trudi samo da bi jeo, a želudac njegov nikad da se nasiti.
8 What advantage has the wise over the fool? And what of the pauper who knows how to behave insociety?	8 Jer po čemu je mudrac bolji od luđaka i što reći o siromahu koji se umije držati pred ljudima?
9 Better the object seen than the sting of desire: for the latter too is futile and chasing after the wind.	9 Bolje je očima vidjeti nego duhom lutati. I to je ispraznost i pusta tlapnja.
10 What has been is already defined -- we know what people are: They cannot bring to justice one who isstronger than themselves.	10 Što je već bilo, ime ima; i zna se što je čovjek; i on se ne može parbiti s jačim od sebe.
11 The more we say, the more futile it is: what good can we derive from it?	11 Što više riječi, to veća ispraznost svega, i koja je od toga korist čovjeku?
12 And who knows what is best for someone during life, during the days of futile life which are spent like ashadow? Who can tel anyone what wil happen after him under the sun?	12 Tko zna što je dobro čovjeku u životu njegovu, za ono malo dana koje tako isprazno živi, koji mu prolaze kao sjena? Tko će kazati čovjeku što će biti poslije njega pod suncem?
