Mudre izreke
Capítulo 24
1
Ne zavidi opakim ljudima niti želi da budeš s njima.
2
Jer im srce smišlja nasilje i usne govore o nedjelu.
3
Mudrošću se zida kuća i razborom utvrđuje,
4
i po znanju se pune klijeti svakim blagom dragocjenim i ljupkim.
5
Bolji je mudar od jakoga i čovjek razuman od silne ljudine.
6
Jer s promišljanjem se ide u boj i pobjeda je u mnoštvu savjetnika.
7
Previsoka je bezumnomu mudrost: zato na sudu ne otvara usta svojih!
8
Tko smišlja zlo zove se učitelj podmukli.
9
Ludost samo grijeh snuje, i podrugljivac je mrzak ljudima.
10
Kloneš li u dan bijede, bijedna je tvoja snaga.
11
Izbavi one koje vode u smrt; i spasavaj one koji posrćući idu na stratište.
12
Ako kažeš: “Nismo za to znali”, ne razumije li onaj koji ispituje srca? I ne znade li onaj koji ti čuva dušu? I ne plaća li on svakomu po njegovim djelima?
13
Jedi med, sine moj, jer je dobar, i saće je slatko nepcu tvome.
14
Takva je, znaj, i mudrost tvojoj duši: ako je nađeš, našao si budućnost i nada tvoja neće propasti.
15
Ne postavljaj, opaki, zasjede stanu pravednikovu, ne čini nasilja boravištu njegovu;
16
jer padne li pravednik i sedam puta, on ustaje, a opaki propadaju u nesreći.
17
Ne veseli se kad padne neprijatelj tvoj i ne kliči srcem kada on posrće,
18
da ne bi vidio Jahve i za zlo uzeo i obratio srdžbu svoju od njega.
19
Nemoj se srditi zbog zločinaca, nemoj zavidjeti opakima,
20
jer zao čovjek nema budućnosti, svjetiljka opakih gasi se.
21
Boj se Jahve, sine moj, i kralja: i ne buni se ni protiv jednoga ni protiv drugoga.
22
Jer iznenada provaljuje nesreća njihova i tko zna kad će doći propast njihova.
23
I ovo je od mudraca: Ne valja biti pristran na sudu.
24
Tko opakomu veli: “Pravedan si”, proklinju ga narodi i kunu puci;
25
a oni koji ga ukore nalaze zadovoljstvo, i na njih dolazi blagoslov sreće.
26
U usta ljubi tko odgovara pošteno.
27
Svrši svoj posao vani i uredi svoje polje, potom i kuću svoju zidaj.
28
Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga: zar ćeš varati usnama svojim?
29
Ne reci: “Kako je on meni učinio, tako ću i ja njemu; platit ću tom čovjeku po djelu njegovu!”
30
Prolazio sam mimo polje nekog lijenčine i mimo vinograd nekog luđaka,
31
i gle, sve bijaše zaraslo u koprive, i sve pokrio čkalj, i kamena ograda porušena.
32
Vidjeh to i pohranih u srcu, promotrih i uzeh pouku:
33
“Još malo odspavaj, još malo odrijemaj, još malo podvij ruke za počinak,
34
i doći će tvoje siromaštvo kao skitač i oskudica kao oružanik!”
Proverbs
Capítulo 24
1
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2
For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5
A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8
He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9
The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19
Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21
My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23
These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26
Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27
Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32
Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
