DK latinica Serbian Bible: Daničić–Karadžić (Latin script)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Reči propovednika, sina Davidovog cara u Jerusalimu.
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 Taština nad taštinama, veli propovednik, taština nad taštinama, sve je taština.
2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
3 Kakva je korist čoveku od svega truda njegovog, kojim se trudi pod suncem?
3 What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?
4 Naraštaj jedan odlazi i drugi dolazi, a zemlja stoji uvek.
4 One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.
5 Sunce izlazi i zalazi, i opet hiti na mesto svoje odakle izlazi.
5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.
6 Vetar ide na jug i obrće se, i u obrtanju svom vraća se.
6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses.
7 Sve reke teku u more, i more se ne prepunja; odakle teku reke, onamo se vraćaju da opet teku.
7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.
8 Sve je mučno, da čovek ne može iskazati; oko se ne može nagledati, niti se uho može naslušati.
8 All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 Šta je bilo to će biti, šta se činilo to će se činiti, i nema ništa novo pod suncem.
9 That which has been is that which shall be, and that which has been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Ima li šta za šta bi ko rekao: Vidi, to je novo? Već je bilo za vekova koji su bili pre nas.
10 Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new”? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.
11 Ne pominje se šta je pre bilo; ni ono što će posle biti neće se pominjati u onih koji će posle nastati.
11 There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
12 Ja propovednik bejah car nad Izrailjem u Jerusalimu.
12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 I upravih srce svoje da tražim i razberem mudrošću sve što biva pod nebom; taj mučni posao dade Bog sinovima ljudskim da se muče oko njega.
13 I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
14 Videh sve što biva pod suncem, i gle, sve je taština i muka duhu.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
15 Šta je krivo ne može se ispraviti, i nedostaci ne mogu se izbrojati.
15 That which is crooked can’t be made straight; and that which is lacking can’t be counted.
16 Ja rekoh u srcu svom govoreći: Evo, ja postah velik, i pretekoh mudrošću sve koji biše pre mene u Jerusalimu, i srce moje vide mnogo mudrosti i znanja.
16 I said to myself, “Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”
17 I upravih srce svoje da poznam mudrost i da poznam bezumlje i ludost; pa doznah da je i to muka duhu.
17 I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.
18 Jer gde je mnogo mudrosti, mnogo je brige, i ko umnožava znanje umnožava muku.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

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 1:18 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXVIII)

    "Do I not weep much the more?" For, "He that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow." The more I long for what is not here, do I not so much the more groan for it until it comes?

  2. Quotes verse 1:2 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXVI)

    But thou canst not; for, "vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Let us go to the tombs; show me thy father; show me thy wife.
