Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Odgovor blag utišava gnjev, a rijeè prijeka podiže srdnju.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
Jezik mudrijeh ljudi ukrašava znanje, a usta bezumnijeh prosipaju bezumlje.
3 The eyes of Yhwh are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Oèi su Gospodnje na svakom mjestu gledajuæi zle i dobre.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Zdrav je jezik drvo životno, a opaèina s njega kršenje od vjetra.
5 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
Lud se ruga nastavom oca svojega; a ko prima ukor, biva pametan.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
U kuæi pravednikovoj ima mnogo blaga; a u dohotku je bezbožnikovu rasap.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
Usne mudrijeh ljudi siju znanje, a srce bezumnièko ne èini tako.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Yhwh: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Žrtva je bezbožnièka gad Gospodu, a molitva pravednijeh ugodna mu je.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto Yhwh: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Gad je Gospodu put bezbožnikov; a ko ide za pravdom, njega ljubi.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
Karanje je zlo onome ko ostavlja put; koji mrzi na ukor, umrijeæe.
11 Hell and destruction are before Yhwh: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
Pakao je i pogibao pred Gospodom, akamoli srca sinova èovjeèijih. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Potsmjevaè ne ljubi onoga ko ga kori, niti ide k mudrima.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Veselo srce veseli lice, a žalost u srcu obara duh.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Srce razumno traži znanje, a usta bezumnijeh ljudi naslaðuju se bezumljem.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Svi su dani nevoljnikovi zli; a ko je vesela srca, na gozbi je jednako.
16 Better is little with the fear of Yhwh than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Bolje je malo sa strahom Gospodnjim nego veliko blago s nemirom.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Bolje je jelo od zelja gdje je ljubav nego od vola ugojena gdje je mržnja.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Èovjek gnjevljiv zameæe raspru; a ko je spor na gnjev, utišava svaðu.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
Put je lijenoga kao ograda od trnja, a staza je pravednijeh nasuta.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Mudar je sin radost ocu, a èovjek bezuman prezire mater svoju.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Bezumlje je radost bezumniku, a razuman èovjek hodi pravo.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Namjere se rasipaju kad nema savjeta, a tvrdo stoje gdje je mnogo savjetnika.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Raduje se èovjek odgovorom usta svojih, i rijeè u vrijeme kako je dobra!
Put k životu ide gore razumnome da se saèuva od pakla ozdo. (Sheol h7585)
25 Yhwh will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Gospod raskopava kuæu ponositima, a meðu udovici utvrðuje.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to Yhwh: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
Mrske su Gospodu misli zle, a besjede èistijeh mile su.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
Lakomac zatire svoju kuæu, a ko mrzi na poklone živ æe biti.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Srce pravednikovo premišlja šta æe govoriti, a usta bezbožnièka rigaju zlo.
29 Yhwh is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Daleko je Gospod od bezbožnijeh, a molitvu pravednijeh èuje.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
Vid oèinji veseli srce, dobar glas goji kosti.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
Uho koje sluša karanje životno nastavaæe meðu mudrima.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Ko odbacuje nastavu, ne mari za dušu svoju; a ko sluša karanje, biva razuman.
33 The fear of Yhwh is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Strah je Gospodnji nastava k mudrosti, i prije slave ide smjernost.
