Mudre izreke
Chapitre 23
1
Kad sjedneš blagovati s moćnikom. dobro pazi što je pred tobom;
2
stavljaš nož sebi pod grlo ako si proždrljivac;
3
ne poželi slastica njegovih jer su jelo prijevarno.
4
Ne trudi se stjecati bogatstvo; okani se takve misli;
5
usmjeriš li oči prema njemu, njega već nema jer načini sebi krila kao orao i odleti u nebo.
6
Ne jedi jela zavidnikova, ne čezni za slasticama njegovim,
7
jer on je onakav kako u sebi misli: “Jedi i pij”, veli ti, ali mu srce nije s tobom.
8
Zalogaj koji si pojeo izbljuvat ćeš, uzalud ćeš prosut' svoje ljupke riječi.
9
Pred bezumnikom nemoj govoriti jer prezire tvoje umne riječi.
10
Ne pomiči prastare međe i ne prodiri u polje siročadi,
11
jer je moćan njihov osvetnik: branit će njihovo pravo protiv tebe.
12
Obrati pouci srce svoje i uho svoje riječima mudrim.
13
Ne uskraćuj djetetu opomene, jer, udariš li ga šibom, neće umrijeti:
14
biješ ga šibom, ali mu dušu iz Podzemlja izbavljaš.
15
Sine moj, kad ti je mudro srce, i ja se od srca veselim;
16
i kliče sva nutrina moja kad ti usne govore što je pravo.
17
Neka ti srce ne zavidi grešnicima, nego neka ti uvijek bude u strahu Gospodnjem,
18
jer imat ćeš budućnost i tvoja nada neće propasti.
19
Slušaj, sine moj, i mudar budi i ravnim putem vodi srce svoje.
20
Ne druži se s vinopijama ni sa žderačima mesa,
21
jer pijanica i izjelica osiromaše i pospanac se oblači u krpe.
22
Slušaj svoga oca, svoga roditelja, i ne prezri majku kad ostari.
23
Pribavi istinu i ne prodaji je, steci mudrost, pouku i razbor.
24
Radovat će se otac pravednikov, i roditelj će se mudroga veseliti.
25
Neka se veseli otac tvoj i majka tvoja, i neka se raduje roditeljka tvoja.
26
Daj mi, sine moj, srce svoje, i neka oči tvoje raduju putovi moji.
27
Jer bludnica je jama duboka i tuđinka tijesan zdenac.
28
Ona i vreba u zasjedi kao lupež i uvećava broj bezbožnika među ljudima.
29
Komu: ah? komu: jao? komu: svađe? komu: uzdasi? komu: rane nizašto? komu: zamućene oči?
30
Onima što kasno sjede kod vina, koji su došli kušati vino začinjeno.
31
Ne gledaj na vino kad rujno iskri, kad se u čaši svjetlucavo prelijeva: pije se tako glatko,
32
a na kraju ujeda kao zmija i žaca kao guja ljutica.
33
Oči će ti gledati tlapnje i srce govoriti ludosti.
34
I bit će ti kao da ležiš na pučini morskoj ili kao da ležiš navrh jarbola.
35
“Izbiše me, ali me ne zabolje; istukoše me, ali ne osjetih; kad se otrijeznim, još ću tražiti.”
Proverbs
Chapitre 23
1
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3
Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10
Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11
For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16
Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19
Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20
Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24
The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27
For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28
She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33
Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
