Proverbs 1
1 The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
Prièe Solomuna sina Davidova, cara Izrailjeva,
2 To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:
Da se poznaje mudrost i nastava, da se razumiju rijeèi razumne,
3 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:
Da se prima nastava u razumu, u pravdi, u sudu i u svemu što je pravo,
4 To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:
Da se daje ludima razboritost, mladiæima znanje i pomnjivost.
5 (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided: )
Mudar æe slušati i više æe znati, i razuman æe steæi mudrost,
6 To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
Da razumije prièe i znaèenje, rijeèi mudrijeh ljudi i zagonetke njihove.
7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
Poèetak je mudrosti strah Gospodnji; ludi preziru mudrost i nastavu.
8 My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:
Slušaj, sine, nastavu oca svojega, i ne ostavljaj nauke matere svoje.
9 For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
Jer æe biti vijenac od milina oko glave tvoje, i grivna na grlu tvom.
10 My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
Sine moj, ako bi te mamili grješnici, ne pristaj;
11 If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;
Ako bi rekli: hodi s nama da vrebamo krv, da zasjedamo pravome ni za što;
12 Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death; (Sheol h7585)
Proždrijeæemo ih kao grob žive, i svekolike kao one koji slaze u jamu; (Sheol h7585)
13 Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;
Svakojakoga blaga dobiæemo, napuniæemo kuæe svoje plijena;
14 Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:
Bacaæeš ždrijeb svoj s nama; jedan æe nam tobolac biti svjema;
15 My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
Sine moj, ne idi na put s njima, èuvaj nogu svoju od staze njihove.
16 For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.
Jer nogama svojim trèe na zlo i hite da proljevaju krv.
17 Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:
Jer se uzalud razapinje mreža na oèi svakoj ptici;
18 And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.
A oni vrebaju svoju krv i zasjedaju svojoj duši.
19 Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
Taki su putovi svijeh lakomijeh na dobitak, koji uzima dušu svojim gospodarima.
20 Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;
Premudrost vièe na polju, na ulicama pušta glas svoj;
21 Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:
U najveæoj vrevi vièe, na vratima, u gradu govori svoje besjede:
22 How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?
Ludi, dokle æete ljubiti ludost? i potsmjevaèima dokle æe biti mio potsmijeh? i bezumni dokle æe mrziti na znanje?
23 Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.
Obratite se na karanje moje; evo, izasuæu vam duh svoj, kazaæu vam rijeèi svoje.
24 Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;
Što zvah, ali ne htjeste, pružah ruku svoju, ali niko ne mari,
25 You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:
Nego odbaciste svaki savjet moj, i karanja mojega ne htjeste primiti;
26 So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;
Zato æu se i ja smijati vašoj nevolji, rugaæu se kad doðe èega se bojite;
27 When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow 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 I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:
Tada æe me zvati, ali se neæu odazvati; rano æe tražiti, ali me neæe naæi.
29 For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:
Jer mrziše na znanje, i straha Gospodnjega ne izabraše;
30 They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.
Ne pristaše na moj svjet, i preziraše sva karanja moja.
31 So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.
Zato æe jesti plod od putova svojih, i nasitiæe se savjeta svojih.
32 For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction.
Jer æe lude ubiti mir njihov, i bezumne æe pogubiti sreæa njihova.
33 But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
Ali ko me sluša, boraviæe bezbrižno, i biæe na miru ne bojeæi se zla.
