WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Doista sve ovo složih u srce svoje da bih rasvetlio sve to, kako su pravedni i mudri i dela njihova u ruci Božijoj, a čovek ne zna ni ljubavi ni mržnje od svega što je pred njim.
1 CIERTAMENTE dado he mi corazón á todas estas cosas, para declarar todo esto: que los justos y los sabios, y sus obras, están en la mano de Dios; y que no sabe el hombre ni el amor ni el odio por todo lo que [pasa] delante de él.
1 For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.
2 Sve biva svima jednako: pravedniku biva kao bezbožniku, dobrom i čistom kao nečistom, onom koji prinosi žrtvu kao onom koji ne prinosi, kako dobrom tako grešniku, onom koji se kune kao onom koji se boji zakletve.
2 Todo acontece de la misma manera á todos: un mismo suceso ocurre al justo y al impío; al bueno y al limpio y al no limpio; al que sacrifica, y al que no sacrifica: como el bueno, así el que peca; el que jura, como el que teme el juramento.
2 All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
3 A to je najgore od svega što biva pod suncem što svima jednako biva, te je i srce ljudsko puno zla, i ludost im je u srcu dok su živi, a potom umiru.
3 Este mal hay entre todo lo que se hace debajo del sol, que todos tengan un mismo suceso, y también que el corazón de los hijos de los hombres esté lleno de mal, y de enloquecimiento en su corazón durante su vida: y después, á los muertos.
3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all. Yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
4 Jer ko će biti izabran? U živih svih ima nadanja; i psu živom bolje je nego mrtvom lavu.
4 Aun hay esperanza para todo aquél que está entre los vivos; porque mejor es perro vivo que león muerto.
4 For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 Jer živi znaju da će umreti, a mrtvi ne znaju ništa niti im ima plate, jer im se spomen zaboravio.
5 Porque los que viven saben que han de morir: mas los muertos nada saben, ni tienen más paga; porque su memoria es puesta en olvido.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.
6 I ljubavi njihove i mržnje njihove i zavisti njihove nestalo je, i više nemaju dela nikada ni u čemu što biva pod suncem.
6 También su amor, y su odio y su envidia, feneció ya: ni tiene ya más parte en el siglo, en todo lo que se hace debajo del sol.
6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
7 Hajde, jedi hleb svoj s radošću, i veselog srca pij vino svoje, jer su mila Bogu dela tvoja.
7 Anda, y come tu pan con gozo, y bebe tu vino con alegre corazón: porque tus obras ya son agradables á Dios.
7 Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.
8 Svagda neka su ti haljine bele, i ulja na glavi tvojoj da ne nedostaje.
8 En todo tiempo sean blancos tus vestidos, y nunca falte ungüento sobre tu cabeza.
8 Let your garments be always white, and don’t let your head lack oil.
9 Uživaj život sa ženom koju ljubiš svega veka svog taštog, koji ti je dat pod suncem za sve vreme taštine tvoje, jer ti je to deo u životu i od truda tvog kojim se trudiš pod suncem.
9 Goza de la vida con la mujer que amas, todos los días de la vida de tu vanidad, que te son dados debajo del sol, todos los días de tu vanidad; porque esta es tu parte en la vida, y en tu trabajo con que te afanas debajo del sol.
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
10 Sve što ti dođe na ruku da činiš, čini po mogućnosti svojoj, jer nema rada ni mišljenja ni znanja ni mudrosti u grobu u koji ideš.
10 Todo lo que te viniere á la mano para hacer, hazlo según tus fuerzas; porque en el sepulcro, adonde tú vas, no hay obra, ni industria, ni ciencia, ni sabiduría.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.
11 Opet videh pod suncem da nije do brzih trka, ni rat do hrabrih, ni hleb do mudrih, ni bogatstvo do razumnih, ni dobra volja do veštih, nego da sve stoji do vremena i zgode.
11 Tornéme, y vi debajo del sol, que ni es de los ligeros la carrera, ni la guerra de los fuertes, ni aun de los sabios el pan, ni de los prudentes las riquezas, ni de los elocuentes el favor; sino que tiempo y ocasión acontece á todos.
11 I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
12 Jer čovek ne zna vreme svoje, nego kao što se ribe hvataju mrežom nesrećnom i kao što se ptice hvataju pruglom, tako se hvataju sinovi čovečiji u zao čas, kad navali na njih iznenada.
12 Porque el hombre tampoco conoce su tiempo: como los peces que son presos en la mala red, y como las aves que se prenden en lazo, así son enlazados los hijos de los hombres en el tiempo malo, cuando cae de repente sobre ellos.
12 For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
13 Videh i ovu mudrost pod suncem, koja mi se učini velika:
13 También vi esta sabiduría debajo del sol, la cual me parece grande:
13 I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.
14 Beše malen grad i u njemu malo ljudi; i dođe na nj velik car, i opkoli ga i načini oko njega velike opkope.
14 Una pequeña ciudad, y pocos hombres en ella; y viene contra ella un gran rey, y cércala, y edifica contra ella grandes baluartes:
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.
15 A nađe se u njemu siromah čovek mudar, koji izbavi grad mudrošću svojom, a niko se ne sećaše tog siromaha čoveka.
15 Y hállase en ella un hombre pobre, sabio, el cual libra la ciudad con su sabiduría; y nadie se acordaba de aquel pobre hombre.
15 Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
16 Tada ja rekoh: Bolja je mudrost nego snaga, ako se i ne maraše za mudrost onog siromaha i reči se njegove ne slušahu.
16 Entonces dije yo: Mejor es la sabiduría que la fortaleza; aunque la ciencia del pobre sea menospreciada, y no sean escuchadas sus palabras.
16 Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
17 Reči mudrih ljudi valja s mirom slušati više nego viku onog koji zapoveda među ludima.
17 Las palabras del sabio con reposo son oídas, más que el clamor del señor entre los necios.
17 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
18 Bolja je mudrost nego oružje ubojito; ali jedan grešnik kvari mnoga dobra.
18 Mejor es la sabiduría que las armas de guerra; mas un pecador destruye mucho bien.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.

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).
… thy wine with a merry heart (that is, the spiritual wine); and let oil be poured out upon thy head (thou seest he alludes even to the mystic Chrism); and let thy garments be always white, for the Lord is well pleased with thy works; for before thou camest to Baptism, thy works were vanity of vanities.

So, since no human voice is strong enough to be heard in such a disturbance, I reckon silence more profitable than speech, for if there is any truth in the words of the Preacher, "The words of wise men are heard in quiet," in the present condition of things any discussion of them must be anything but becoming.
