Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel.
Prièe Solomuna sina Davidova, cara Izrailjeva,
2 They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight.
Da se poznaje mudrost i nastava, da se razumiju rijeèi razumne,
3 They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly.
Da se prima nastava u razumu, u pravdi, u sudu i u svemu što je pravo,
4 They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young.
Da se daje ludima razboritost, mladiæima znanje i pomnjivost.
5 Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,
Mudar æe slušati i više æe znati, i razuman æe steæi mudrost,
6 understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
Da razumije prièe i znaèenje, rijeèi mudrijeh ljudi i zagonetke njihove.
7 Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.
Poèetak je mudrosti strah Gospodnji; ludi preziru mudrost i nastavu.
8 My son, pay attention to your father's instruction, and don't reject your mother's teaching.
Slušaj, sine, nastavu oca svojega, i ne ostavljaj nauke matere svoje.
9 They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
Jer æe biti vijenac od milina oko glave tvoje, i grivna na grlu tvom.
10 My son, if evil people try to tempt you, don't give into them.
Sine moj, ako bi te mamili grješnici, ne pristaj;
11 They may tell you, “Come with us. Let's go and hide, ready to kill someone. Let's ambush someone for fun!
Ako bi rekli: hodi s nama da vrebamo krv, da zasjedamo pravome ni za što;
Proždrijeæemo ih kao grob žive, i svekolike kao one koji slaze u jamu; (Sheol h7585)
13 We'll take from them all kinds of valuable things and fill our homes with the stuff we steal!
Svakojakoga blaga dobiæemo, napuniæemo kuæe svoje plijena;
14 Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”
Bacaæeš ždrijeb svoj s nama; jedan æe nam tobolac biti svjema;
15 My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
Sine moj, ne idi na put s njima, èuvaj nogu svoju od staze njihove.
16 For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.
Jer nogama svojim trèe na zlo i hite da proljevaju krv.
17 There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.
Jer se uzalud razapinje mreža na oèi svakoj ptici;
18 However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!
A oni vrebaju svoju krv i zasjedaju svojoj duši.
19 This is what happens to you if you try to become rich through crime—it kills you!
Taki su putovi svijeh lakomijeh na dobitak, koji uzima dušu svojim gospodarima.
20 Wisdom calls out in the streets; she shouts aloud in the squares.
Premudrost vièe na polju, na ulicama pušta glas svoj;
21 She cries out at busy corners; she explains her message at the town gates:
U najveæoj vrevi vièe, na vratima, u gradu govori svoje besjede:
22 “How long will you stupid people love stupidity? How long will scornful people enjoy their mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
Ludi, dokle æete ljubiti ludost? i potsmjevaèima dokle æe biti mio potsmijeh? i bezumni dokle æe mrziti na znanje?
23 Pay attention to my warnings, and I'll pour out my deepest thoughts to you—I'll explain what I know to you.
Obratite se na karanje moje; evo, izasuæu vam duh svoj, kazaæu vam rijeèi svoje.
24 For I have called you, but you refused to listen; I reached out my hand to you, but you didn't care.
Što zvah, ali ne htjeste, pružah ruku svoju, ali niko ne mari,
25 You ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.
Nego odbaciste svaki savjet moj, i karanja mojega ne htjeste primiti;
26 So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.
Zato æu se i ja smijati vašoj nevolji, rugaæu se kad doðe èega se bojite;
27 When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on you,
Kad kao pustoš doðe èega se bojite, i pogibao vaša kao oluja kad doðe, kad navali na vas nevolja i muka.
28 then you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.
Tada æe me zvati, ali se neæu odazvati; rano æe tražiti, ali me neæe naæi.
29 Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
Jer mrziše na znanje, i straha Gospodnjega ne izabraše;
30 They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.
Ne pristaše na moj svjet, i preziraše sva karanja moja.
31 So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.
Zato æe jesti plod od putova svojih, i nasitiæe se savjeta svojih.
32 Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.
Jer æe lude ubiti mir njihov, i bezumne æe pogubiti sreæa njihova.
33 But everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
Ali ko me sluša, boraviæe bezbrižno, i biæe na miru ne bojeæi se zla.
