DK latinica Serbian Bible: Daničić–Karadžić (Latin script)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Baci hleb svoj povrh vode; jer ćeš ga naći posle mnogo vremena.
1 Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.
2 Razdeli sedmorici i osmorici; jer ne znaš kakvo će zlo biti na zemlji.
2 Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.
3 Kad se napune oblaci, prosipaju dažd na zemlju, i ako padne drvo na jug ili na sever, gde padne drvo onde će ostati.
3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
4 Ko pazi na vetar, neće sejati, i ko gleda na oblake, neće žeti.
4 He who observes the wind won’t sow; and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.
5 Kako ne znaš koji je put vetru ni kako postaju kosti u utrobi trudne žene, tako ne znaš dela Božijeg i kako tvori sve.
5 As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.
6 Iz jutra sej seme svoje i uveče nemoj da ti počivaju ruke, jer ne znaš šta će biti bolje, ovo ili ono, ili će oboje biti jednako dobro.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
7 Slatka je svetlost, i dobro je očima gledati sunce.
7 Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
8 Ali da čovek živi mnogo godina i svagda se veseli, pa se opomene dana tamnih kako će ih biti mnogo, sve što je bilo biće taština.
8 Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
9 Raduj se, mladiću, za mladosti svoje, i neka se veseli srce tvoje dok si mlad, i hodi kuda te srce tvoje vodi i kuda oči tvoje gledaju; ali znaj da će te za sve to Bog izvesti na sud.
9 Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10 Ukloni dakle žalost od srca svog, i odrini zlo od tela svog, jer je detinjstvo i mladost taština.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 11:9 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XV)

    This coming of the Lord, and the end of the world, were known to the Preacher; who says, Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and the rest; Therefore remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh;...and remember thy Creator...or ever the evil days come,....or ever the sun, and the light, and the moon, and …
